C15/43b Out of the Transylvania Night

October 17, 2015December 2, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Aura Imbarus, originally aired October 27th

A Story of Tyranny, Freedom, Love and Identity by Aura Imbarus

OUT OF THE TRANSYLVANIA NIGHT explores tyranny and freedom, love, success, and the price paid for misaligned dreams in an epic tale of identity and the human spirit. It is a deftly woven narrative about finding greater meaning and fulfilment in a free world, and an exploration of how social issues affect the human spirit. An incredibly powerful memoir.

I’d grown up in the land of TRANSYLVANIA, homeland to Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, and, worse, the Communist dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu—who turned Romania into a land of gray-clad zombies who never dared to show their individuality, and where neighbours became informants, and the Securitate made people disappear. Daylight empowered the regime to encircle us like starved wolves, and so night had always been the time to steal a bit of freedom. As if bred into our Transylvanian blood, we were like vampires who came to life after sundown. I buried the family heirloom jewels, tucked the flag into my sweater and left my outpost to join the action . . . tonight Ceausescu would die!

Known for using stand-ins to pose for him, Aura doubts if it was even Ceausescu himself who was killed that night. Nevertheless, when her countrymen topple one of the most draconian regimes in the Soviet bloc, Aura Imbarus tells herself that life post-revolution will be different. But little in the country changes. With two pieces of luggage and a powerful dream, Aura and her new husband flee to America. Through sacrifice and hard work, the couple acquires a home, cars, and travel—but trying to be Americans is much more complicated than they expect. More difficulties set in the stock market crash takes their savings, house, and cars; thieves steal three centuries’ worth of heirloom jewels, and Aura’s beloved mother dies.

Aura’s marriage crumbles under the stress. Devastated, she asks herself, ‘How much of one’s life is owed to others?’ Tested even further by the vagaries of fate, Aura discovers a startling truth about striking a balance between one’s dreams and the sacrifices and compromises that allow for Serenity, selfhood, and lasting love. More resolution comes when in 2010, Ceausescu’s body is exhumed to answer questions of a cover-up, and Aura can finally lay to rest the haunting mysteries of her past.

Everyone deserves the best start in life

Pizzas, parcels, good news bad news are delivered but babies should be really born.

How To Make A Birth Plan

Over the last few years, when hospitals have become increasingly busy and understaffed, creating a birth plan can be a great way to express your hopes and wishes about your upcoming birth. A birth plan will help to ensure that everybody involved in the birth understands what it is you really want.

After months of doing the labour of love, filming and creating …finally, my first “Baby “is born.

IT is my online program for parents to be.

Hello, my name is Jutta Wohlrab and I have been a midwife for over 30 years. I’ve helped bring over 2800 babies into this world and there’s nothing I haven’t seen when it comes to pregnancy, labour and birth. I created the Happy Birthing Days online course so that you and other expectant mothers can learn how to give birth, how birth really works and what to do to make labour easier for you, your baby and your birth partner.

The Happy Birthing Days online course is made up of three modules, each designed to educate you enough so that you know what to do, when to do it, and what decisions to make during your pregnancy, labor, and birth.

The start for this fantastic platform for parents-to-be is:

Happy Birthing Days inside Elements Of Birth my online childbirth education system.

In 60 videos that around 5 to 15 min long I explain and share my knowledge, exercises, tips and tricks and everything I and my parents to be find effective and useful.

Happy Birthing Theory, Happy Birthing Body, and Happy Birthing Mind

I have taught my class already for many years and hundreds of parents have greatly benefited from it.

After more than 30 years of helping and supporting mothers to be in the world, I am asking you to support me. If you have a pregnant friend, sister, daughter, colleague, or anyone else, could you please be so kind as to share my information?

I put a lot of unique exercises , theories and even great stuff from Hypnosis and NLP into my Program In times of 30 to 80 %of a C-section rate , the highest intervention rate at birth ever I felt the need to create a program that women all over the world can easily access to achieve a joyful, fearless safe and happy birth FOR BOTH MOTHER AND CHILD CLICK ON BOOK TO BUY

My life’s work is and has been for more than 30 years to make pregnancy, birth, and the time after a better experience. To summarize, as an international midwife with years of experience, I’ve put all my best tips, trick,s and advice into this online course. Having a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can have. You owe it to yourself and your baby to educate yourself and those around you with the best birth and pregnancy advice so that you can truly have the birth you want. With hours and hours of video tutorials all designed to help you this is the best gift you can give yourself and your baby.

C 15/42b “Indestructible You”: Building a Self that Can’t be Broken

October 15, 2015May 1, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Tim Ward aired October 20th-26th

We are all on a journey of Self Discovery but who guides on our road and how “Indestructible” can we make ourselves along the way?

The collaborative work of Shai Tubali and Tim Ward, “Indestructible You: Building a Self that Can’t be Broken” is a practical guidebook for making yourself so strong inside that life’s relentless ups and downs cannot shake you and cannot break you. “Indestructible You” will help you uncover the powerful, driving force of your true self, and let go of everything that holds you back. “Indestructible You” is based exercises and practices developed by Shai Tubali through his research and work guiding several hundred individuals through psycho-transformational processes.

In essence: Life is like an eternal seesaw. At every given moment you’re either up – getting what you want and feeling powerful, or down – finding yourself rejected, weakened and frustrated. We are forever hoping to bend the laws of this ‘unfair game’ so that we stay on the up-side of life. But this unrealistic insistence is why we suffer. “Indestructible You” reveals the way to step down from the eternal seesaw and build an unbreakable self, a self that remains fearless and strong no matter what life throws at you. Impressively ‘user friendly’ from beginning to end, “Indestructible You: Building a Self that Can’t be Broken” is insightful, informative, practical, and inspiring. Very highly recommended for personal and community library Self-Help/Self-Improvement collections.

TSM 15/41 Every Homeless Person has a Story

October 3, 2015October 20, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 5 Comments

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Dennis Cardiff aired from October 13th

Telling The Stories of Those Too Often Ignored

Throughout the past four years I have met many people, now friends, who for various reasons are, or were, homeless.

Writing about the homeless and helping the homeless, has given my life a purpose that it didn’t have before. Documenting their stories will, I hope, introduce them to the public in a non-threatening way. Some panhandlers look intimidating, but that disappears when one sees them laugh. A typical day for me involves taking the bus and walking two blocks to work. I pass Joy’s spot every day. I usually sit and talk with her for twenty to thirty minutes. Chester and Hippo may drop by to chat. Most afternoons, depending on weather, I walk two blocks to the park where the group of panhandlers varies in size from two to twenty or more. They don’t panhandle at the park. Like a soap opera, every day is different; some scenarios will carry over a few days or weeks. People will disappear for weeks or months due illness, rehab programs or incarceration. When I met Joy I was going through an emotional crisis. Meeting her and her friends – worrying about them and whether or not they would be able to eat and find a place to sleep – took my mind off my problems, that then, seemed insignificant. It was – is – truly a life changing experience.

SEVEN FRIENDS AND A DOG DIED DURING THE WRITING OF THIS BOOK ……………………….

Dennis Cardiff has been involved with street people since 2010, when he began to reach out, on his own, to some of the people without homes who he encountered in his daily life. In his new book, he documents conversations he’s had with them over the past 4 years and, in the process, gives those who are often robbed of their humanity a human face. Written in diary form by month, and including some of Cardiff’s own poetry, the author chronicles the lives of people who are often ignored, feared or reviled.

We can do something about it if we stop ignoring them.
