Gerald Molen, Academy Award-winning producer of Schindler’s List, brings the fight against child sex trafficking to the big screen with the release of the documentary THE ABOLITIONISTS, was in partnership with Fathom Events for a one-night event in select movie theatres. Featuring former CIA and Homeland Security operative Tim Ballard, the documentary contains undercover footage from rescue operations conducted around the world.

Human trafficking has become the world’s fastest-growing crime, with over 27 million people enslaved–nearly 2 million of them children. THE ABOLITIONISTS takes viewers behind the scenes as Ballard and his team of highly trained operatives risk their own lives to free innocent children from captivity.

On December 10th, 2013, Special Agent Tim Ballard turned in his Homeland Security badge and resigned from his employment with the United States government after spending a decade rescuing children from child sex tourism domestically and overseas. Though his job was difficult, he was proud that his country was one of very few in the world actually doing anything about this problem.

However, despite the U.S. government’s best efforts, Tim observed that red tape and bureaucracy left many children falling through the cracks. These children constitute over 90% of the children lost to child sex slavery, and Tim could do nothing to help them while in the employment of the US government.

Now the Founder and CEO of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), Ballard and his team investigate and rescue enslaved children from around the world, while undercover film crews posing as traffickers record each of these dangerous rescue operations.

Utilizing hidden cameras and surveillance equipment, directors Darrin Fletcher and Chet Thomas capture every moment of freedom fighters triumphing over evil that will leave viewers inspired to join in the fight of THE ABOLITIONISTS.

16/17 A Dream Long Dreamt

April 12, 2016April 29, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara Troy presents Sara’s View of Life, aired April 26th-May 2nd

Over the years I have dreamt of creating certain things, now closer to a possibility of making it happen, I am looking at the collective picture to make happen, come hear my dreams and see if you want to be a part of them.

10430475_10153058841277380_59922716205768481_n

I believe if we bring the business world and the wellness world together in ethical, dignified, respectful and enlightened collaboration, we would unite the good vibrations this world needs to move forward into global well-being productivity.

Back in 2001 when I started The Art of Positive Living, I desired a large old house that would provide holistic services for those willing to embrace a new path to wellness. In this house was an aromatherapy room, a massage room, a yoga room, an acupuncture room, an intuitive room, an inferred sauna room, a child care room for parents, a social guidance therapy room, and a juice bar with healthy snacks room.

It would have been a membership and would have allowed 20% of its participant’s free to allow access to people like Mums, Dads, caregivers and homeless who need it and can’t afford it.

A dream not yet realized but still obtainable.

I also dreamt of a community where holistic, alternative life styler’s and practitioners would live and work. Not a hippie commune but a professional healing arena and training ground for people to come to in order to heal and healers to learn how to heal and grown their own businesses.

Having now interviewed over 550+ people who are doing great things for people in the world, I know the one thing lacking is a PLACE for like-souled, minded and spirited people to come and embrace their like collaborators and expand on their personal gifts.

Working with Bill Mackie for over 11 years now, and sharing many visions, both of us desiring to make things better for mankind, we have come to a place in time where we are in the same book but both have our own chapters.

Bill Maquis has a tool the Mindology tool that will help any and everyone stay focused by understanding how to live in their ZONE of productivity. This tool which will be free to the individual guides us to staying on track and recognizing what takes us out of our ZONE and shows us how to stay in self-production. Bill has designed an incredible building that will be a training/convention centre for companies and small/large business to learn this tool and in how to apply it in their own company to increase productivity. It is also a place to host spirit and wellness events to a larger well-being community.

quotation

His philosophy a lot like mine is always to give a portion away to seed others in their own productive possibilities, which in turn helps mankind grow by building stronger communities. A portion of the overall proceeds go back into the community giving the opportunity to those who need care guidance and hope who budget does not allow for it.

Self Discovery Radio has led me to some extraordinary people doing wonderful things for the people and the planet, and as a possibility seer, I see lots of cohesive collaborations with many. BUT, if they do not see it or feel it or do not wish to pursue it, then it is a no go.

So I keep my fishing rod out there, always looking for those collaborations, those potential co/ventures and soul alignments that could propel any of us forward in to that bigger picture. I know there is much to seed to water to grow, I know there are others who see the possibilities, I know that like-minded, souled, spirited, and visionary s are out there desiring the same if not better dream in creating a united community that serves all who need it.

Globally we are each doing our own thing, but by weaving our thread together we can have a blanket of hope, possibilities, actions and production with a solid foundation to grow and unit on.

I have asked the universe to send me such innovative active souls who share a similar vision so we may start building a foundation in which to build all those possibilities.

So far I have someone who sees the bigger picture and shares a desire, and someone who has the people who could build it, and many of those who will use it. Now like a good piece of music, we need to bring it together in harmony and produce a musical piece that inspires illuminates and invites all those who are ready to take action in building a better life for themselves and a stronger world for us all to live in.

Here I go, leap of faith, for I believe in my meaningful purpose and the journey it took to get here. I am ready to make this vision a reality, I am open to partnerships with those who share the dream and step forth in action, I am in joy to know that this will build a safe haven for all those who wish to embrace their soul, heart, spirit freedom and become part of the solution to the worlds problems.

It all starts with us, within us and because of us, let this be the platform that unites us all in unity and dignity and meaningful global purpose.

Here goes

TSM16/16. Journalistic Wonderment with Amy Ellis Nutt

April 11, 2016April 20, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Amy Ellis Nutt aired April 19-25th

Mental Issues, Transgender, Ship wrecks, Science Writer, Fact checker, Amy has done it all.

BECOMING NICOLE: The Transformation of An American Family
by Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Amy Ellis Nutt.

“BECOMING NICOLE is a miracle. It’s the story of a family struggling with—and embracing—a transgender child. But more than, it’s really about accepting each other, and ourselves, in all our messy, contradictory glory. The Maines family is as American as they come. In the journey, they take toward authenticity, and justice, we see a model for the future of our country, a future in which all of us somehow find the courage, and the love, to become our best selves.”

In 2012, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Amy Ellis Nutt began reporting on a family that is ordinary in many ways – middle class, politically conservative, from rural America – with one exception: one of their identical twin sons, at the age of about two, began identifying as a girl. On October 20, 2015, Random House published BECOMING NICOLE: The Transformation of An American Family, a book about gender identity, transgender rights, community, and, above all, a family tested beyond what they could ever imagine. It’s also a book steeped in the history of transgenderism, putting Nicole’s story into a larger cultural and medical context.

When Random House Executive Editor David Ebershoff acquired BECOMING NICOLE in early 2013, little did we know that 2015 would be a watershed year in the trans movement: Laverne Cox has become a superstar; Caitlyn Jenner is telling her story in powerful ways, and newly-minted Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne played an early transgender pioneer in The Danish Girl. BECOMING NICOLE, through its story of one girl and her family, illuminates a complex social and political issue so many Americas are curious about. NOW BEING MADE INTO A T.V PILOT COMING SOON.

“Born in Staten Island, I grew up in central New Jersey as the middle child of five, daughter of Dave and Grace Nutt. I have a beloved brother and sisters and 12 adored nieces and nephews. An aborted career as an academic serendipitously propelled me, albeit late out of the gate, into journalism. Sports Illustrated magazine, and Bambi Bachman Wulf, gave me my start as a fact-checker. A Masters degree in Journalism, earned at Columbia University in one of the J-school’s first part-time classes, helped me realize that as much as I loved sports, I didn’t want to write about them the rest of my life.”

A breast cancer survivor, bio-polar, 80% deaf as a child, all these things gave Amy the tools and understanding she needed to thrive in her field of expertise.

Nearly everything I know about storytelling I learned at The Newark Star-Ledger, where I was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in feature writing in 2009 for “The Accidental Artist,” which eventually became a book, “Shadows Bright as Glass.” In 2011,(Buy Here) I was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in feature writing for my series “The Wreck of the Lady Mary.”

In 2014 I was lucky to land a dream job as a science writer at The Washington Post, where my beat is the “brain.” Currently, I live in Washington, D.C., but I’m still a Yankees fan.

Amy Ellis Nutt is longtime American journalist and author. She won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in feature writing for a narrative investigation into the deaths of six fishermen in the sinking of their scallop boat off the coast of New Jersey. She is the author of three books including two NYT best-sellers published last year, The Teenage Brain, with co-author Dr Frances Jensen, and Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family. She is currently a science writer at The Washington Post and lives in the District of Columbia.

Nutt’s beat at the Post is the brain where she frequently writes about mental health issues including most recently a 3-part series into science’s search for new biologically-based methods of predicting, diagnosing and treating mental illness.
