24-21. Try a Little Change

May 20, 2024May 20, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

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

Are you afraid of change? I know it can be scary, but also so good for you. I have moved cities, I am in a home my daughter and husband got me, I am happy here. Yes I still have a lot of sorting to do, but as I drive around and see how many beautiful trees and water surround us, I am blessed. Everything is a few minutes away, shopping center, 4 mins, my daughter, 12 mins, the ferry 10 mins, big stores 15 mins, and all the time there is either water or and trees all around us, which I love. Trees are so wise and feed us on so many levels, water is a conduit, and that breeze is for ever clearing the air of what needs to go.

I am turning 70 in a few months. I am ready for a forever home, rooting deep, but still growing tall and allowing my branches to go with the flow of life. As a young person I moved a lot, I was deep into exploring life, living it, feeling it, being it. I explored a lot in my discovery of life. That is ok, I was young and on an adventure of life, I regret none of it, for that is how I got to live in four countries and explored life in all its colours.

Now at my age, I am glad to be rooted, but that does not mean I am not ready to keep on exploring what is possible in life, it just means I will do it from this place of grounding. I have produced and been in four books in the last five months. I am about to start the production of the next book. I am still interviewing people from around the globe and loving it. I have my family and Grandsons near and love having them here, in my home, I love the playing and snuggling with Grandma. They inspire me, to see life from their eyes and have so much joy over the little things in life.

I think change is good for us, even if we have rooted. Never give up exploring life, trying something new, stretching yourself out of your comfort zone, and let life renew you and show you that there is so much more to do, to be. It is not over until we exit our bodies, so live, maybe a bit slower, but be inquisitive and seek out the unknown, for it keeps you young, engaged and productive in your life.

You have so much more to give, more to discover and more to love about life, so allow life to happen and enjoy it all the way.

TSM24- Ronald Hunter, and child prostitution.

May 20, 2024May 20, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Ronald Hunter, on air from May 23rd

Ronald Hunter, author of Angel Finally Found His Wings: A True Story Of Finding Trust, Hope, Faith, And The Power Of Love. After being a part of The Oprah Winfrey Show’s ‘200 Men Who Survived Sexual Abuse’ television episode, Ron was inspired to write this memoir. Twelve long years later, the book has been published. Ron has also been featured in The Guardian and the New York Daily News

“Many people are shocked when I tell them that I’m the youngest of 22 children, but that’s only a small part of my life,” says Ronald Hunter. “Dad died when I was six years old, my mom soon went to a mental institution due to her severe schizophrenia — and I went to an orphanage. After several years, she was released, and I went back to live with her, but she ‘gave’ me to a neighborhood Boy Scout Leader.”

“Tragically, he forced me into the 1970’s child prostitution sex trade in New York City by continuously blackmailing me. If caught, he promised to have my mother sent back to the mental institution. Five long years later, I escaped his control and started my new life.” Ron no longer sees himself as a victim, but as a survivor, and more importantly, as an advocate who helps others.

Hunter is available to share the following in an interview:

What it was like to be exploited by a trusted community leader, but having to keep silent
How he was forced into teen prostitution, servicing thousands of men for five years
Why he joined a multi-billion-dollar class-action lawsuit against the Boy Scouts and how the 2019 Child Victims Act opened a window for abuse victims to seek justice long after the statute of limitations had closed
How he was married to a woman for a decade even though he knew he was gay
How serving in the US Army as a staff sergeant in Desert Storm may have saved his life
What can be done to help other children avoid falling victim to sex-trafficking and abuse – and how we can “predator-proof” our community youth organizations and schools

Angel Finally Found His Wings is an intimate and candid memoir about a child surviving life on the streets as a prostitute. Twelve-year-old “Angel” shares a room at the YMCA in New York City with thirty-four-year-old Charlie, the pimp who is blackmailing him.

Angel’s mom is battling schizophrenia while Charlie, the neighborhood Boy Scout leader, grooms him and continuously threatens to return his mother to a mental institution if Angel doesn’t comply and turn tricks on 42nd Street.

Taking place between 1972 and 1977 on the crime-infested streets of New York, Angel, whose real name is Ron, maintains his normal-kid status to his family, classmates, and football buddies in Brooklyn, all while surviving life-threatening situations hustling.

Told in the dual consciousness of Ron as both a growing teenage boy and our first-person narrator looking back at his life, Angel Finally Found His Wings is emotionally wrenching and disarmingly direct.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had wings and could fly away from when life experiences are unimaginable,” says Ron’s husband, Scott Hunter. “The wings would carry the trauma, sadness, and shame as we take flight with hopes the wind makes it all go away. Angel continues to fly because he refuses to allow his past to define him. He found happiness, love, trust and peace. He is a survivor whom I admire.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Ron Hunter was raised in abject poverty in Brooklyn, with 21 siblings, by a schizophrenic mother in and out of mental institutions, and a dad who died when he was just six years old. A local Boy Scouts leader took an interest in young Ron and then violated the family trust, stealing the innocence of a 12-year-old boy. Ron was then blackmailed by this man and forced into prostitution in Times Square.

Rather than be labeled a victim, Ron asserts that he is a survivor and is now an active advocate to give voice to others. He could have been left on the streets to die or have gone to jail, but he managed to escape the streets and make a new life for himself by going through addiction recovery and then joining the U.S. Army, where he served as a Staff Sergeant during Desert Storm in Iraq. He reveals this story in a moving and inspiring memoir, Angel Finally Found his Wings: A True Story Of Finding Trust, Hope, Faith, And The Power Of Love.

When he and others filed a multi-billion-dollar class-action lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America, he was featured in the New York Daily News and The Guardian.

The son of a Puerto Rican immigrant, Ron is a retired American Airlines flight attendant. He attended Penn State University and served in the U.S. Army, where he was Staff Sergeant during Desert Storm in Iraq. He is a lover of life, a survivor of sexual abuse, and a person of profound faith in the miraculous. Ron resides in Roaring Gap, North Carolina with his husband, Scott, and has a second home in St. Petersburg, Florida.

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.
