How Drug Sentencing Reform Can
Make Arizona Safer

The panel will discuss Arizona’s cutting-edge drug sentencing reform bill, HB 2303, as well as legislative reforms that have been effective in Louisiana, South Carolina, Iowa, and Oklahoma. They’ll also offer solutions such as “safety valve” exceptions that have been implemented in other states based on model legislation adopted by the American Legislative Exchange Council.
Rep. David Stringer (R), co-sponsor of the new drug sentencing reform bill, has been invited to attend and give brief remarks. FAMM’s Vice President Molly Gill will moderate the discussion. Other panellists include:
(1) Kevin Ring, President of FAMM

Our Global Veterans Stories, with Sara Troy and her guest Scott Huesing, on air from October 3rd

scott

Scott A. Huesing is a retired the United States Marine Corps Infantry Major with 24 years of honourable service, both enlisted and as a commissioned officer. During his career spanning 10 deployments, he has conducted operations in over 60 countries worldwide. Throughout his numerous deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa he planned, led, and conducted hundreds of combat missions under some of the most austere and challenging conditions.

Scott is a published author since 2005. His upcoming book, Echo in Ramadi, (due out February 2018, Regnery) is a ten-month snapshot in time that changed the face of operations on the battlefield; a captivating story of Echo Company, 2d Battalion, 4th Marines during the Second Battle of Ramadi in support of the Multi-National Forces (MNF) Surge Strategy in 2006. His true-life account provides keen insights into what may be an unfamiliar world to readers, but very familiar to those, like Scott, who lived it and endured this historic fight. Echo in Ramadi was written to honour the sacrifices and spirit of his Marines and the families they supported – it is his tribute to them and his honour to tell this great story. Readers will feel the pain, emotion, laughter, intensity, and friction that Scott describes in unvarnished detail.

RAISING AWARENESS FOR 

VETERAN SUICIDE ONE MILE AT A TIME

On Friday July 22nd, Major Scott A. Huesing USMC (Ret), the Bestselling Author of Echo in Ramadi is riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle across the country again for Save the Brave (STB) to raise awareness for Veteran Suicide. Huesing (51), the Executive Director of Save the Brave (501c3) began this ride in 2020 to honor his high school friend and veteran, David W. White (aged 48), who died from alcohol poisoning on Sunday, June 7, 2020, in Butte, Montana. Huesing will ride from Bastards Canteen in Temecula, California to Palmetto Brewing Company in Charleston, South Carolina.

During the 9-day journey, Huesing will make several stops to ask supporters to donate to STB and ride along with him on his journey to raise awareness for veteran suicide – emphasizing that these are not statistics anymore, they are friends and sons and brothers that we all know. He’ll be joined by fellow veterans and riders from every state he passes through amidst the heat of July. Their goal – $100,000. 

When asked, “Why did you pick July to make this ride?” Huesing responded, “I didn’t pick the month – the month picked me. If nothing else, it’s a reminder to everyone who joins me along the way that maybe we need to suffer a little bit to be reminded exactly why we are riding.” Veterans dealing with depression, alcohol abuse, and PTSD are especially impacted by the isolation this pandemic has caused in many cases. 

This is a unique opportunity to stay connected as veterans and as communities while supporting a worthwhile charity.

Sara Troy hosts Sara’s View of Life on air from November 22nd 

aaeaaqaaaaaaaatpaaaajge4ogyyzwu1lwe5otitnde4ny05odqylwy4zjc2ytnmmmnhyg

I hear every day someone having an issue with their lives. Work sucks because they are not getting enough out of it, or it is taking too much out of them. Relationships suck but no one will take the time or effort to find a way to look to solving the problem. They are dissatisfied with their lives but prefer to AVOID a solution because facing it is supposed to be harder.  As coaches in spiritual counselling and communicative teachings and self development, I can tell you that answers are there for you on all fronts, but you have to step up and take the action necessary to accept the help in moving forward, in other words get into ACTION and COMMIT.
How many relationships die every day? How many businesses go under? What if you could prevent save and nurture your relationships with love, your work and life, would you do anything about it?
When it comes down to it we live in a society of disgruntled people who will accept a dysfunctional life. We are people who want answers in resolving the problems and living our life fully but are too scared to do anything about it. We want a quick fix that does not require work or will not deal with the real issues.

images-1
Well if you want the changes and you have found the courage of your own free will and wish to step up to the plate to do something about your life, then now is the time. You do have it within you,  the first step is admitting something is wrong and that takes courage, then knowing you are not meant to do it alone, you need guidance through this transition.
images-1Be it a relationship with self, your loved ones, your work, your passion for life, we have many workshops in The Discovery Store that will guide you forward in taking back your life and living it on your own terms. They guide you forward to understanding why you make the decisions you make, why you lost the dream of that relationship with self, love, work and life. In how to reconnect with that passion or to accept that you need to let go and embrace a new passion, it is all in dealing with change and dealing in a way that brings clarity to one’s life choices and desires. Knowing where you are going and why, knowing with whom you are travelling with, knowing the passion can be awakened and you are living your dream again.

Attitude is key to embracing a Positive Life. 
All of this can be accomplished with you deciding to accept the challenge to face the changes and reach out to new possibilities new opportunities. The tools are here at Self Discovery Radio as are the talented people who wish to help you in moving forward in your life. All you have to do is say NO to the excuses and YES to the possibilities that will propel you towards to the life and lifestyle you wish to live.
Nothing will change until you embrace the need for change and take a step forward in learning your life traits and options.
Sara and my experts are here for you at Self Discovery Radio we are helping you to reignite yourself value and possibilities within you. Are you ready to move forward?

In my heart and so, l I am happiest in a garden. I believe that a garden is the closest we’ll get to God while here on Mother Earth.

Journaling since the age of 12, it wasn’t until I reached the age of 58 that I began writing books. Now I am working on my 3rd book, “Sustainable Food for the Globe; Future Pioneers, The Children”.

Sustainable Food for the Globe stands for wholesome food production, rescuing wasted food and educating our “Future Pioneers” to become ethical stewards of all things found us – here our home, Mother Earth. As a co/founder of Energime University she believes in our ability to sustain our world through education and innovations.  http://energimeuniversity.org

TMS16/03 The Need of a LOO (toilet)

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Jasmine Burton aired January 19th-24th

Not everyone has a LOO 

IMG_2323We take for granted in the Western world that everyone has a flushing toilet, but that is not true, a number of people in the world without a loo is huge and this can cause sickness. One team took this on and came up with a LOO (toilet) that can be used anywhere in the world giving sanitation and some dignity to those that need it.

Now with the refugees being scattered in camps, this product is in even more need. 

Wish for WASH, LLC is a social impact organization that strives to bring innovation to sanitation through culturally specific design, research, and education. The SafiChoo toilet system, Wish for WASH’s first sanitation model tailored initially intended for a Kenyan refugee community, premiered in Fall 2013 as a Georgia Tech senior design project. Since then, our team has evolved into a talented group of young and diverse engineers, designers, business analysts, and development researchers – dedicating their skills to disrupt how the world is tackling sanitation relief products and services. The most current SafiChoo design is composed of separate, modular units, which enables the user to chose the elements of the system to best meet their specific needs. Our collective teamwork and my exposure through the Spring 2015 TedxAtlanta talk in addition to a number of other speaking events have brought Wish for WASH to the attention of numerous international aid and relief agencies interested in our mission and products.Our efforts are now turned toward completing a beta test in Spring 2016 in communities outside of Lusaka, Zambia, which will focus on user experience and overall feasibility of the product in partnership with our target users.

12391955_10205426035306728_3542550507709458489_nJasmine Burton was born and raised in Dunwoody, Georgia. In 2014, her senior design team won the Georgia Tech InVenture Prize Competition, the largest undergraduate invention competition in the United States, for their design of an inexpensive mobile toilet, SafiChoo. Before graduating, from Georgia Tech’s Industrial Design Program, she participated in the Georgia Tech Women’s Leadership conference, the CDC’s Summer Public Health Scholars Program, Humanity in Action Fellowship and Industrial Design studio classes that emphasized ethnography and social impact work. She hopes to improve women’s health via redesigning water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure which is why she founded Wish for WASH, a social impact startup that seeks to bring innovation to sanitation. Over the next year, Jasmine is serving as Global Health Corps Fellow in Lusaka, Zambia working as a design specialist at the Society for Family Health. Jasmine identifies as a humanitarian design activist and, ultimately, seeks to use her creativity to make the world smile.
