C15/34a How to Make Your Political Voice Heard

August 14, 2015August 16, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Craig Richardson aired August 25TH

We have a voice and if we do not like what is going on we must speak out. Dont be fooled by the charltons who are pulling the wool over your eyes, be aware and really ask what is going on, you’re just as responsible by your inaction, don’t make them billionaires with your lack of interaction.

Craig Richardson co?authored, Red Tape in America, published by the Heritage Foundation. The book details excessive government regulation, and its impact on the U.S. economy, and its citizens.

The Energy & Environment Legal Institute (E&E Legal), a non-profit watchdog group advocating free market environmentalism, produces a number of investigatory reports. In July, E&E Legal released, “Big Donors…Big Conflicts; How Wealthy Donors Use the Sierra Club to Push Their Agenda,” that examines some of the biggest contributors to the Sierra Club and their self-interested motivation for donating. What is clear from examining the large contributors to the Sierra Club is that these donors seek to use the Sierra Club to manipulate government policies in order to irrevocably alter the world’s energy portfolio in a manner that benefits the donors and their businesses. This strategy appears to have been put in place in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

C15/34b Coaching, Memphis and Murder what do they have in common?

August 14, 2015August 25, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Julie Starr airing August 25th-31st

Julie believes;

‘The issues organisations face right require a basic shift in the principles we operate from. Most importantly, we need to move from a mind-set and perspective of ‘I’ to a felt sense and practical application of ‘we’. This ‘I’ and ‘we’ are just two small words and yet they a world away from each other. When we create results from a need to create ‘win-win’ solutions are so different they become unrecognisable from any results created from a more fear-based, independent view.’

Julie Starr is a highly respected coach, writer and speaker with 20 years’ experience in the coaching field. She is the founder of Starr Consulting, and a leading provider of coaching solutions to support organizational change.

Julie combines many years of coaching practice with a continuing study of human success and fulfilment. She is a Master Practitioner of NLP, with extensive training in Emotional Intelligence, Transformational Leadership and linguistics. She is a Practitioner of The Journey Method (an emotional processing approach) and a graduate of Byron Katie’s school for The Work.

The other side of Julie is her new non business book on living from the inside out

Magic to Memphis

– What if you discovered that your life works from the inside out?

The new novel, by Julie Starr

Jessie is seventeen years old, a runaway musician living rough in a trailer with a pit bull dog called Bear. That’s fine by Jessie; she’s got big plans. A music contest in Memphis offers the chance of money, fame and escape from a nowhere town with no real prospects.

Turns out there’s more in Memphis than music. When Jessie’s mom sends her a box of things belonging to her dad, she finds out that he made the same trip years ago. She’s determined to find hi but has no idea that the ring her dad left her is being hunted by a sadistic killer. Nor does she realize that he will stop at nothing to get it back.

Suddenly, a simple music contest turns into a fight for survival and only a puzzling traveler called Finch has the answers Jessie needs. But will she listen? And can she trust in herself enough to change her luck and make magic happen?

C15/35a Lord Have Murphy and Awaken Us

August 12, 2015September 1, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 2 Comments

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Fran Shaw aired September 1st/15

While there may be a plethora of books on consciousness, none is quite like the new Amazon #1 bestseller, Lord Have Murphy: Waking Up in the Spiritual Marketplace. It’s a funny, sardonic commentary that’s also a brilliant entrée to a new level of consciousness unknown even to many people who have dabbled in meditation, mindfulness and even yoga.

Drawings by Bruce M. Sherman

The book’s author Fran Shaw, Ph.D., is a longtime practitioner in a spiritual discipline and an award-winning university writing instructor is also a university professor and an award-winning author whose books include Notes on The Next Attention, Writing My Yoga: Poems for Presence, 50 Ways to Help You Write, and of course, Lord Have Murphy: Waking Up in the Spiritual Marketplace. . Out of her fertile mind has popped Murphy, the star narrator of this journey into this new level of awareness. And Murphy has a wry comment on EVERYTHING!

Murphy demurs from being a teacher—no guru is he—yet his exploration of the nature of this deep new level of conscious awareness is a fun filled, quip-induced, deeply funny, pathway to the higher self.

As Fran notes, “We hear a lot these days about mindfulness. ‘Weapons of mass instruction are proliferating.’ How to clear the air? To trust what’s in us and that we’re finding our way to it.”

With unrelenting humour, this book tells the tale of Murphy giving it a try, only to discover in himself an extraordinary truth: that contact with the finer energy animating us awakens us to a completely different level of being alive.

Whitley Strieber, the host of the hugely popular Dreamland podcast and Unknown Country website, praised Lord Have Murphy on Goodreads: “Exquisitely conceived and executed, with marvellous drawings by Bruce M. Sherman. There is almost nothing more difficult than to open doors in the sleeping soul with humour, but Fran Shaw is a genuine master and does it with grace. Every page contains a small shock, pleasurable, surprising and joyous. ‘God laughs and plays,’ said Meister Eckhart. To wake up into this singing, exuberant world, the first step is to laugh. Lord Have Murphy is a funny, punny, brilliantly attentive doorway into the incredible richness of real connection with higher self and the immense world around us, of which we normally see so little. This book is very special. It has a gentle, deeply spiritual touch that you reach through its humour and beauty. I have really never seen anything quite like it. An extraordinary door into attention.”

Murphy’s satirical comments make readers laugh out loud. The book appeals to both of our natures, the every day and the higher. For Murphy, the daily ups and downs become the necessary reminders to awaken, and “we don’t have to be a certain way to wake up.” All that we need is already in us, hidden from our usual mind. “Nothing about me needs to change except where the attention is.”

Lord Have Murphy is a unique and invaluable guide that helps readers to recognize their own power. Anyone who takes the time to truly absorb the messages in Murphy’s story and follow the advice within will learn exactly how he or she can overcome challenges to live by choice…not by chance! However, be forewarned! Lord Have Murphy is not for the weak-kneed. With his thought provoking musings, Murphy will put you through some serious paces while you’re belly-laughing.

Lord Have Murphy, retail price $19.99 is available from Amazon.com and is also now a Kindle ebook.

C15/33b Angels, Mediumship and Healing the Heart.

August 5, 2015January 20, 2019Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Sunny Dawn Johnston aired August 18th-24th

Why aligning with your Angels is the key to emotional and physical well-being.

There is a major shift happening in the way people are regarding their health (physically, emotionally, and spiritually). More so now than ever, we are aware of how intricately tied our body, mind and spirit are. Angel Communicator, Spiritual Counselor, and Author, Sunny Dawn Johnston, has been guided to empower us all on our journey for health and prosperity. Sunny teaches that all healing (whether it be with addiction, disease, self-image, relationships, grief, etc.) starts from within. In order to truly heal and live our best life, we must connect on a soul level and accept guidance from the Angels who are here to help.

Sunny Dawn Johnston is a world renowned psychic medium, dynamic and engaging inspirational speaker and gifted author. Since early childhood, Sunny has always known she was different and destined to do great things. As a teenager, she possessed an innate wisdom, awareness and curiosity of the Angelic realm and Spirit world. While she fought those gifts for many years, Spirit ultimately won and today Sunny is dedicated to teaching others about the Spirit world and unconditional love.

Over the last fifteen years, Sunny has performed thousands of readings and workshops where she’s communicated with angels, guides, and loved ones who have crossed over to the other side. The constant theme she receives from all of these divine entities and loved ones is: Love never ends!
