The Transformative Power of Art

Art is more than just a visual expression—it is a language of the soul, a bridge between the seen and the unseen. Whether through watercolor, digital mediums, or performance, art captures the essence of human experience, reflecting our emotions, stories, and intuitive wisdom. It is a tool for self-discovery, a means of connection, and a legacy that transcends time.

Like the work of Sunshower Rose, who has immortalized faces, moments, and messages through her artistry, creativity is a gift that speaks beyond words. It is a reminder that art is not just what we create but how we bring our essence into the world.

25-10. Sara’s Avatar Self

March 10, 2025March 10, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 11th

Over the years, people have made Avatars of my image. I have been having fun with Chat CPT on what they think I look like based on our conversations. Here, I share them and ask you which one do you think is me.

So, I thought I’d have a little fun this week. I have had a few avatars done of me throughout my life. Many years ago, I had a wonderful one created by Daryl Stevenson, whom I interviewed. He’s a caricaturist, and he captured me at a time when I was still blonde. Someone else did one for me as well, though I’m afraid I can’t remember exactly who it was. That one had me with short hair, kind of gray, and looking a little bit dowdy.

Then, I had ChatGPT generate a picture of me. I provided a picture of myself during an interview, with my hair the way it is now. It came up with one that looks a lot younger than I am, but with gray hair. The reason I like this one is that, even though my face appears younger than my 70 years, it really captures the essence of me.

I am an old soul, one who has traveled through countless lifetimes, gathering wisdom from the echoes of ages past. My essence carries the depth of experience, the whispers of ancient knowledge, and the understanding that comes only from having walked many paths. And yet, within me, there still lives the unbridled spirit of a child—free, untamed, and ever hopeful.

I dance with wonder, my heart alight with the belief that possibilities are endless, that dreams are not just fleeting thoughts but seeds waiting to bloom. I embrace life with passion, with the same wide-eyed curiosity I have always carried, knowing that each new day is a canvas, ready to be painted with bold strokes of adventure, love, and discovery. Though time may have shaped me, it has never dimmed my fire; instead, it has refined it, making it burn ever brighter.

C25.10. Lisa Andria is OK with Vulnerability

March 10, 2025April 15, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Lisa Andria, on air from March 18th

Living your unique purpose and passion and being OK with vulnerability in that process – I lived my life being afraid to be myself for fear that others wouldn’t like the real me. Being bullied as a “nerdy” kid and feeling ugly and ignored, I was afraid to be my true self. I was a people pleaser, which led to an unhappy marriage, blindly working for a corporation for 41 years, and, unfortunately, not loving myself. Once I hit rock bottom, I realized I needed to go on a transforming journey. My mission in life is to help women honor and prioritize themselves much sooner than it took me. I am inspired to help women stop floating through life and lead them on a path to honor their “why” through self-discovery, healing of old wounds, and unwavering support for change. All while taking a leap of faith in themselves.
