The Fairy Godmother’s Growth Guide:

Whimsical Poems and Radical Prose for Self-Exploration

Social media sensation Marisa McGrady is the Fairy Godmother with a self-help guide that isn’t one-size-fits-all…
Modern media makes self-love seem simple. Buy a bath bomb, apply a face mask, and voila! You’ve got self love commodified and canned for your convenience. But self-love cannot be bought. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to self-care. What happens once our bubble baths drain and feelings of self-loathing, doubt, or despair creep back in? How do our bodies, resource availability (including free time), and physical and emotional needs impact our ability to care for ourselves? Are our bodies “bad” just because certain industries, organizations, or people deem them so?

IG24-34. Dimitri Moraitis Divine Crystals

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Dimitri Moraitis on air from August 20th

“Crystals and candles are certainly pretty and make wonderful gifts,” says Dimitri, “but both serve a much higher metaphysical purpose when it comes to meditating with divine light.” Dimitri Moraitis, co-founder and co-spiritual director of the Spiritual Arts Institute, and co-author of the updated 25th Anniversary edition of “Change Your Aura, Change Your Life: A Step-by-Step Guide to Unfolding Your Spiritual Power, is guiding us about how candles and crystals can be used as spiritual tools.

While crystals and candles may make pretty trinkets, they can also serve a much higher, spiritual purpose. Divine light, the conduit of God’s love, grace, peace, wisdom, and healing, is always available to all of us through the practice of meditative prayer. During meditations, crystals can be used to amplify the divine light flowing into us, while candles create a supportive environment for our meditation. Divine light is the force that propels the life force of God to all creation, and without this spiritual conduit, we would have no means of receiving anything from God. Our human auras are an individual expression of divine light in action.

Crystals serve as focal points for receiving divine light during meditation. It’s important to know how to use and where to hold crystals during divine light meditations, as well as how to cleanse and magnetize them to your vibration. Some crystals that work well at conducting divine light include blue sodalite with the Blue-White Fire of replenishment, green aventurine with the Emerald Green Ray of balance and harmony, and hematite with the Silver Ray of divine intelligence and perception.

Candles, too, have a spiritual component. The divine uses flames as conduits for connecting with divine light. When using candles, the amount, configuration, and color can affect the spiritual power they provide. Using a demagnetizing bowl is also essential when working with candles to maximize their spiritual benefits.

24-34. Ambition meets Reality

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 20th

I see all sorts of possibilities —my mind is always brimming with visions of what can be. It’s a blessing and a curse because when I see something, I immediately want to make it happen. But the truth is, the doing part isn’t where my strength lies. I’m not the builder; I’m the visionary. I need the builders beside me to bring these ideas to life, but that collaboration doesn’t always materialize as easily as the vision does.

Recently, I discovered that I have dyslexia and A.D.A.D., which explains so much about why I struggle to put things together in the right order. No matter how hard I try, my mind just isn’t wired for the step-by-step process of building. This realization has reinforced the importance of collaboration and having a team—a team of gifted, skilled people who can take that vision and turn it into reality.

I often say, “Discover your instrument, learn to play it well, find your groove, and then join the orchestra where you can truly extend your gift.” Each of us has a unique gift, and when we come together, we create something harmonious and powerful that transcends any single voice. We should never underestimate our gifts, no matter how small they seem, because each one plays an essential role in the grand symphony of life.

As a visionary, I see the possibilities and feel the essence of the vision. I invite others to see it too, to participate without ego or fear. When ego enters the picture, it stifles creativity and blocks those with true gifts. A leader is always necessary, like a conductor, to guide the process. Without that guidance, it would be a chaotic free-for-all that never amounts to anything.

As I look ahead to the next venture, I know that it has to be a cohesive collaboration for it to succeed. Everyone involved must play their part with truth, zeal, and harmony. Only then can we bring the vision to life in the way it deserves.

Stay tuned, for the next venture will be put together in September, listen to the show to know what.

24-33. Wedding Delight

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 12th

“On August 9th, my son Tyler married his love, Jessica. The venue was on top of Grouse Mountain in Vancouver, BC, offering spectacular views. It was a hot day, over 32 degrees (baking heat for me), but perfect for an indoor-outdoor wedding.

My son broke his ankle 7 weeks before the wedding and had to hobble down the aisle on crutches, but nothing was going to stop this day. I escorted him to the aisle, where his bride was escorted by her father. Proud moments for both of us.

My oldest daughter initiated the wedding while trying to hold back her tears, and she did a beautiful job. My youngest daughter and her husband were the masters of ceremonies, playing off each other with humor and great jokes. When it came time for my daughter Tasha to make a speech, she had us all in tears. I was supposed to follow her with a mushy speech, but instead, I became the love reminder, referring to the importance of tending to one’s garden of love.

The food was wonderful, though we were too hot and busy to really eat. After the speeches, it was cake-cutting time, and then off to the dance floor. After the bride and father dance, I got to dance with my son—or should I say, around him—while he balanced on crutches.

I had a hell of a time finding a dress for the occasion, finally getting one just 10 days before the wedding. I’m not too formal, so finding something that felt free and ‘me’ was harder than expected. In the end, there were about three of us who wore very bright colors, adding a vibrant touch to the celebration.”

We danced under a new moon till 1 am when we took the last gondola down the mountain.

It is such a joy to see my son so happy and to continue his journey with his wife and her daughter Mila. I wish then rooted and blossoming love and may they grow old together and even deeper in love.
