AK24-18. Barbara J. Taylor’s Scranton Trilogy

April 29, 2024April 29, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Barbara J. Taylor, on air form April 30th

Barbara J. Taylor, author of Rain Breaks No Bones Set in 1955, this final installment in Taylor’s best-selling Scranton Trilogy explores a family’s legacy of loss and a sometimes mystical vision of a better tomorrow.

Though the novels are connected, they each stand alone.

EVERYBODY HAS SECRETS. EVEN THE DEAD.

Fifty-year-old Violet has had a good life. The love of an honest man. The joys of motherhood. Yet, even in 1955, her heart still aches over the death of her sister more than four decades earlier. Lately, Violet can’t help thinking about the little girl, picturing her in the moments before the accident, wearing that pleated white dress and a hair bow to match. Maybe if her big sister were here now, she could tell Violet what to do about the secret she’s been keeping from her daughter Daisy.
Daisy has a secret of her own. When she first moved back home to Scranton, she wasn’t ready to give up her dreams of performing in Atlantic City. Then she met Johnny, a man who needs music as much as she does. Her first real chance at love. If only they can find the courage to buck small-town thinking when it comes to interracial dating.
Small-town thinking. Zethray had seen her fair share of it. That’s why she advertised a room to rent in The Negro Motorist Green Book. Give folks a safe place to stay away from home. That’s how Johnny ended up at her door. Now he’s sweet on some young woman. Not that he told Zethray, but she knows. The dead like to talk, and she listens. If only her mother would tell the secret behind her shocking death. Instead, she stands silent, while that little girl with the bow in her hair runs wild.
Rain Breaks No Bones, is the final novel in the Scranton Trilogy, starting with Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night, followed by All Waiting Is Long. Though the novels are connected, they each stand alone.

AK24-17. Jim B. Flaherty EMBRACE YOUR AGE

April 22, 2024April 23, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

AUTHORS KISS with Sara Troy and her guest James (Jim) B. Flaherty, on air from April 23rd

EMBRACE YOUR AGE – YOU CAN BE BETTER THAN EVER because it speaks to the subject of aging cheerfully and productively.

Mr. Flaherty, who says he’s an EMBRACE YOUR AGE – YOU CAN BE BETTER THAN EVER says EMBRACE YOUR AGE nails your self-doubts and insecurities whether you’re 40, 90, or in-between, with some direct calls to action. Besides acknowledging your bathroom mirror as your most meaningful psychiatrist, Flaherty makes you confront your toughest critic–yourself–and gives you the emotional ammunition and point of view that will help you wake up on the right side of the grass tomorrow, with a smile and a purpose. He challenges you to summarize your life in a six-word statement. For himself, he says: I am present–Living, Giving, Loving. You’ll find wisdom, loving guidance, a few honest laughs, and Did He Really Say That? in this easy-to read shot of adrenalin. This isn’t just another one of those smile and the whole world smiles with you books. Every chapter (and they’re not lengthy or overly wordy) asks a question, and most are going to make you think. For example: Why do you exist? Do you think you’re a little weird? Do you think you’re old? How are you going to handle it when they die? Jim, (I know him well enough to use his first name) was thinking of You when he wrote this book. You’ll find it’s very personal. He, personally, has had a hell of an interesting life. Self made, a corner office MadMan in NYC, even four years abroad, while raising two children (who still enjoy him), grandsons from Japan to Brooklyn, and almost too many friends. He tells them, “straighten up, get your act together, stop whining, we all have things to do.” At 88 he’s still writing every day, has preached at his church, is a public speaker . . .and a terrific joke teller. You’d like him. He says he needs an agent, to sell his novels to film producers. He also has a TV series and screenplay in his portfolio. And you’ll learn something about getting more out of yourself when you read EMBRACE YOUR AGE–You can be better than ever.

Dr. Orloff includes a self-assessment test for readers to evaluate their current level of self-empathy, to learn their own “empathy style,” and to find out how their style affects their relationships.

Key Messages: Providing insights for those who want to develop empathy as a new skill, Dr. Orloff addresses:

April 22, 2024April 23, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 23rd

It was an overnight sensation that took years to make. It is funny how we discover people and think they are an overnight sensation, where it took years of struggle to get there. My own journey has been twelve years in the making, with almost eleven years of my own network.

When you think about it, it is more like a lifetime because of all the experiences you acuminate over the years. I did not become who I am today yesterday, it took my sixty nine years of life and then finding a path which I love and allowing it to guide me to where I was meant to be, doing what I was meant to do.

This year has been my harvest. With my own memoir out there, Sara’s Self Discovery to Soul Living, and the production of Our Forgotten Children book and contributing in two other books, it was many seeds coming to fruition all within five months. Four books, a new home ( which my daughter and husband and brought for me) and my son and fiancé providing help in moving and a new couch, I am blessed and truly grateful.

The universe works in its own way; although I have asked and worked for these things, the universe decides when it is time. The alignment of he stars, energies, and people, all have to be in sync to make it happen, and this is the right time now.

So as I take a couple of weeks off to move from two cities into one. I leave you with 3600 shows all found under these genres HERE I have done already this year 98 shows, and after my moving break, so much more to come, including the invitation to be in the Coaching Your Self Discovery anthology.

Enjoy all the shows thus far, and I will catch you all later when all new show will air from May 20th on.
