Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from February 7th
It is our human nature to fight back, we have a knee-jerk reaction to things and we like to be argumentative and be right. This, unfortunately, gets us nowhere, so why don’t we try a different approach in 2023?
We know we are still in this pandemic and all its variants; we know we are in transition in our personal lives, mental health, wellness, financial security, in industries, and in our global economics. So fighting against it is futile. This is the time to ask ourselves what we are going to do about it, what we have learned, and how we are going to seed opportunities for 2023.
Everything, even disasters have a reason, some times it is to change our direction, sometimes a lesson about ourselves we need to learn, but it is always about us having the ability to make the changes we need to move forward and not drag ourselves down by what has been.
2020, 2021, just survival, 2022, coming out of the fog, and all of it was a time of reflection, a time to review our lives and go into ourselves and feel what we want for our future. A time to step up and be counted in heart and kindness and help each other on this windy, rocky path. We have so much to be grateful for, but when in fear, doubt, and hysteria, we can not see the gifts before us.
2023 is a year of nurturing those seeds you planted, watering them, and allowing them to grow. It is a time to allow and open up to change and when you come from the heart space, your mind sees things differently and you feel more enriched by what is possible and what is growing within and around you.
This transformation of humanity still has about 2-3 more years to grow out off. If we come together and stop fighting each other, and start listening to the inner voice, we will see how we can make the changes and why we need to, for if we do not, this planet and the source of universal energy will change it for us and it will be a harder ride than even 2024.
So let us rise up to the occasion and be the change the world needs, be the strength and solution we need in our own lives. FOR IF NOT YOU, WHO? We can not wait for others to do it for us anymore; we must be proactive in our own lives and in our community in order to thrive and rise up to greater heights.
BE KIND, CARE, SHARE AND STEP UP TO A HIGHER VIBRATION.

How To Be A Beacon Of Hope To Those Precious In Our Lives
-Relationship Expert/Author Heather Dugan Available For Insights-
This week, fans of The Ellen Degeneres Show and So You Think You Can Dance were shocked and saddened by the unexpected death of beloved Dancer/DJ/Actor/Producer Stephen “Twitch” Boss. The public acknowledgment of his passing by suicide has once again brought to the forefront discussion around mental illness and depression.
Acclaimed author and relationship expertHeather Dugan (The Friendship Upgrade) is offering insights into how we can endeavor to pay better attention to the signs of depression in our friends and loved ones, especially as we come upon a holiday season.
“Stephen “Twitch” Boss’s death has a personal impact on the many who watched him dance across their screens at home and online throughout the years. He exuded joy. To learn that, in the end, he wasn’t able to access that joy within himself is shocking and frightening”, says Dugan.
“The strongest amongst us are often the ones who lack a safe place to download the very basic trials of life, and we need this kind of connection to feel fully human… we have to share our weaknesses to access true strength. None of us can fully know the life experience of another, and some carry far more than we know. Real connection requires more than pleasantries, so create conversations.”
Heather Dugan is available to offer insights and important tips on how we can help those grappling with emotional darkness and supportive thoughts for those who are struggling, despite the challenges of mental illness often being silent or hidden from the view of others.
