Shares tools for weathering the storms in this Age of Surprise

“We are entering The Age of Surprise, the 21st century. The mystical gates of a greater reality are poised to open, leading the way for humanity to regain intuition, spectacular ideas and expanded compassion and healing on a global scale. Live in the Tao of Surprise, and our challenging times will become our greatest gift of revelation and redemption.” Deirdre Hade

Welcome to the Age of Surprise. We are now at the greatest Doorway that humanity has ever entered- a time when the unexpected has now become expected more often than not. 2017 brought some of the largest hurricanes in U.S history and massive flooding in Texas. Thousands of acres burned throughout the US, including the 273,400 acres Thomas Fire that quite literally burned right up to the hedges of Deirdre Hade’s home in the hills of Montecito before the mudslides levelled her property with boulders the size of cars.

Experts say we should brace ourselves for more and larger disasters to come. It’s no wonder so many are feeling deep anxiety and stress. How can we deal with all of this? How can we stay grounded and connected? Is there any hope or redemption to be found in these disasters?

Mystic and spiritual guide Deirdre Hade shares illuminating insight into the healing mystical experience in The Age of Surprise and shares the tools to navigate this age with grace, forbearance, humour and resilience. Find the calm in the chaos in the Age of Surprise.

Deirdre Hade is a born mystic and visionary. Dedicated to healing those who have suffered from trauma, pain, and loss, Deirdre founded the non?profit organization The Foundation for Radiance which has worked closely with the Women’s Prison Association of New York and Nuevo Amanecer (Sister Trinidad Lopez’s program for women rescued from abuse and sexual slavery in East Los Angeles). She designed My Angel Pillow with Kellee White to bring the healing comfort of angels to children in hospitals all across the country.

A keeper of the World Peace Flame and founding member of the Association for Transformational Leaders of Southern California, Deirdre is a member of Jack Canfield’s Transformational Leadership Council, an organization of 150 world leaders in the field of personal transformation (including John Grey and Marianne Williamson). Deirdre’s teachings on the Power of Meditation are featured alongside the writings of other modern-day spiritual luminaries such as Neale Donald Walsch and Don Miguel Ruiz. She has been honoured by Dr. Iziz Fuqua and the Circles of Light, receiving the F.L.O.W.E.R. award for her pioneering work in energy healing. She has also been knighted by the Sovereign Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem for her humanitarian work.

26166788_10155890552841760_4515208742381513846_nA profound sensitive and psychic, Deirdre headed off to college at 17, determined to get a degree in anthropology. A chance meeting with Joseph Campbell, American mythologist and author of Hero with a Thousand Faces changed the course of her life. “Don’t go into anthropology,” he told her. “It will ruin your gift. You already have what we are all looking for.”

That same auspicious year, Deirdre was given a photocopy of the then unknown book, A Course in Miracles. For months, she voraciously studied the texts. This, along with her mentors in the southern gospel churches, gave her innately scientific mind a spiritual foundation. (Her parents were research scientists in biochemistry and physiology). At 16 she and her mother had a spiritual awakening allowing her mother with terminal breast cancer to live 13 years longer than expected. This became the foundational work for Deirdre’s Radiance Healing and Meditation System. Deirdre went on to have a successful dance career working with Robert Joffery, founder of The Joffery Ballet NYC, Frank Borman of the Royal Ballet of England to name a few. She founded an inner-city dance program for disadvantaged youth in the Memphis / Mid-South Region. Her Company, Celebrations of the Sacred, was a pioneer in the field of sacred dance.

Deirdre’s inner gifts and search for self-discovery brought her under the mentorship of elders and teachers in the mystical Christian tradition, the “I Am Presence” teachings, the Hindu Vedic tradition and Mussar and Lurianic Kabbalah, which she studied for over 20 years under the tutelage of two esteemed Rabbis in Los Angeles. Deirdre is overwhelmingly grateful to her mentor in personal psychology and women’ studies former head of USC Psychology dept. Dr. Lawanda Katzman Staenberg.

In 2004 Deirdre founded Radiance Healing and Meditation now simply called The Radiance Journey, a system of energy healing and mystical wisdom from the ancient knowledge of the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life. To date, Deirdre has given Radiance personal healing sessions and Radiance Journey Retreats to thousands. At The Omega Institute, The ACADEMI of Life, Urban Zen Center and Deepak home base in NYC, The Evolutionary Healing Institute in Miami, Florida, The Chopra Center at  La Costa , Canyon Ranch Resort and Montecito’s own Sacred Space. In 2018 she will be the main presenter at the Kripala Center in Stockbridge, Mass.

Her Radiance Pure Energy Program for energetic clearing and healing has been sold in over 132 countries. Deirdre’s book, The (not so) Little Book of Surprises, released in 2016, was presented by Donna Karan to a standing-room-only audience at her Urban Zen Center in New York City. Recently married, she and her husband William Arntz have created The Mystic and the PhysicistAn Exploration Into The Vanishing Point Where Science and Spirituality Meet presented to standing room only at Deepak Homebase, NYC this fall. They are currently filming this as a series.

C 18-09 Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Lily Sanders, on air from February 27th

Today, Lily Sanders can point to extraordinary the successes of being named one of the top 15 coaching experts in New York City, years as a soap opera regular and TV/movie dancer and actress, multiple-franchise owner, devoted mother and even a year as a featured Barnum & Bailey Circus show dancer!

But it was her private life that proved to be her real crucible. Repeatedly aligning herself with damaged men, she found herself once again emotionally and physically abused. And then in a life-long custody wrangle with her ex-husband over her beloved son. But she knew she had to break the pattern. So she started with herself.

Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth is the story of how she found her truth, how she forged a new relationship with her higher self and the Divine to be a beacon of love for those to follow.

Lily Sanders’ life experiences, adversity, talent, sense of humour, and intense compassion has gifted her a purpose to write, influence, and coach others. As a magazine columnist, Lily inspired thousands, while writing her own powerful book. Her newly international released book, Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth has already begun transforming lives.

It was the lowlights, not the highlights, that have defined and refined her. Looking at it objectively, Lily’s life sounds like a sad country song. Its refrain began early when she was very young, living with a depressed frightened mother, three siblings and an abusive father, who made life a living hell for the children and wife who helplessly watched. Lily endured until relief came when he departed, but that left her to be the adult to her childlike mother. It was through dance that she first found her footing. Passionately engaged, she could forget about everything else and just dance! And that was her ticket away from home for the first time, going on the road with the circus, learning tough lessons and standing on her own. Eventually, she pursued the life of a professional dancer, auditioning and getting TV, movie and theatre opportunities that blossomed ultimately into success as an actress. And then further success in business. But it was her private life that proved to be her real crucible. Repeatedly aligning herself with damaged men, she found herself once again emotionally and physically abused. And then in a life-long custody wrangle with her ex-husband over her beloved son. But she knew she had to break the pattern. So she started with herself.

Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth is the story of how she found her truth, how she forged a new relationship with her higher self and the Divine to be a beacon of love for those to follow. Her book is far more than a chronicle of her life and her transformation…it is filled with guidance, wisdom and advice for any woman who is struggling to find her way, to find peace, love, contentment and prosperity. It is steeped in insights, hard truths, gentle encouragement, inspiration, spiritual doorways, darkness defeating honesty and authenticity. Lily wants to lift up her sisters so they may never have to just endure – they can thrive! Today, having a highly successful coaching practice in New York, and being a sought-after TV and radio guest and workshop leader, Lily Sanders is transforming the lives and hearts of woman across the nation.

Lily can illuminate for you: •

What to do when you’re willing to face the truth about your life, or the abusers around you 

The keys to love yourself unconditionally •

How to let go of self-blame •

The way to release the past and create new generational blessings •

How to begin forging a new relationship with yourself and the spiritual force that empowers you

C18-06 WHY CAN’T GRAMMY REMEMBER ME? BY DAN PERKINS

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Dan Perkins, on air from February 6th.

“This is a breakthrough book written on an important subject to children, parents, and grandparents. The subject is Dementia, or what is commonly referred to as memory loss. To the best of my knowledge, no other book on this subject has been written specifically for children ages 9 to 12. However, Hudson’s and Charlotte’s endearing adventure is for all readers; children, parents and grandparents. Your children will relate to the adventures of these two young girls, and as they learn about memory loss, so too will you and your children.

As people live longer, the population winding up with Dementia is rapidly growing. Parents find themselves ill-equipped to talk to their children about this subject. They themselves know little, and without basic mental health knowledge, parents are unable to discuss this issue with their children.

If you have a parent that is fine today, they could start the long, slow, goodbye tomorrow. I believe this book is a must-read for all ages, and parents, in particular, should read it and discuss it with their children. Because this is such an important issue, I am going to donate 10% of my royalties to the Alzheimer Foundation….”

C 17-51 The Ball of Human Kindness with Gabriella van Rij

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest  Gabriella van Rij, on air from December 19th on. 


KINDNESS EXPERT, GABRIELLA VAN RIJ, DISCUSSES THE BALL OF HUMAN KINDNESS® CAMPAIGN

The ball of Human Kindness® movement began during November 2013 in Tulare, CA and has since made its way across the nation, making news wherever it goes. “The ball represents a child or adult someone that does not know how to fit in or someone that feels it cannot belong; to a group, family or even your spouse or partner,” says Gabriella van Rij [pronounced “Ray”], widely acclaimed kindness expert. “As a society, we have dropped the ball of Human Kindness®. Will you help me pick it up?”

A tireless speaker and consultant to students and school faculty, Gabriella has travelled across North America, speaking at school assemblies, corporations, and community halls, providing a practical approach for ending bullying and creating safer communities through her 4-step kindness program. “One moment, one person, one kindness—is all it takes to help someone go from a negative space to a positive place, BE the difference!

GABRIELLA VAN RIJ [pronounced “Ray”] began her life as an orphan in Pakistan and without the determination and kindness of two strangers, she would not have been adopted into her new family. Today, Gabriella relentlessly champions the Kindness movement and tackles the social issues that plague our society. With a brave and compassionate voice, she speaks at businesses, universities, corporate training events, school assemblies, community centres, places of worship, and on network shows. Her uplifting talks to motivate, challenge, and provide the groundwork for lasting progress. She is an acclaimed author of three books. With All My Might is her mesmerizing memoir of one of the first cross-cultural adoptions. I Can Find My Might is part self-help, a part practical resource for students, parents, and educators. Gabriella’s personal experience creates a boots-on-the-ground approach to bullying and self-acceptance that is nothing short of magical. Watch Your Delivery is Gabriella’s third and latest book, based on one of her popular presentations of the same name. Gabriella’s #DareToBeKind campaign brings her bullying prevention program to schools, communities, and corporations across the US. Gabriella has been seen by millions on Dr. Phil, ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. She also writes for the Huffington Post and the NY Daily News.

C17-50 “The Forever Letter” with Elana Zaiman

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Elana Zaiman, on air from December 12th

Elana Zaiman (1)I believe that we each want to better understand ourselves; make ourselves known to the people who matter to us most; deepen our relationships, and heal what may be broken between us.

                                        We can do this by writing Forever Letters.

Forever Letters share our values and wisdom; asks for forgiveness and offers forgiveness; expresses our gratitude and love. They are transformative, taking us to our ultimate truth, our authentic self. They enable us to live with the intention of being our best self. They are a gift of support and connection.

You can write to your parents, children, siblings, other family members, friends, colleagues, teachers, students, mentors … anyone who matters to you.

My Path to Becoming a Rabbi and a Writer

I grew up in Providence, Rhode Island in a family of six: my mom and dad, me, my sister, Sarina, and my two brothers Ari and Rafi. All I knew growing up was that women could not be rabbis, at least not in the Orthodox synagogue where my grandfather served as the rabbi, not at the Orthodox elementary school I attended and not in the traditional Conservative synagogue where I belonged, and where my father was the rabbi.

History records the first woman rabbi to be Regina Jonas of East Berlin, Germany who was ordained in 1935. In 1972, when I was 10, Sally Priesand became the first woman rabbi ordained in America’s Reform movement. l knew nothing about these women until much later in my life, and though I had no childhood aspiration to become a rabbi, I did imitate my father on the rare Sabbath mornings I did not go to synagogue. I convened a congregation of my stuffed animals. I sat them in a circle on my bedroom floor, placed prayer books in front of their faces, kippot on some of their heads, and I became both rabbi and cantor, leading services, chanting traditional melodies, announcing pages and, I believe, delivering an occasional sermon

My mission in my work, writing, and life is to bring people together; to enable all people (especially children, elders, and those who feel marginalized in our society) to be heard; to guide people to find meaning in their lives and to live into this meaning; to question the wrongs we encounter and to have the courage to change them; to do our best to right the wrongs we ourselves create; and to appreciate how each one of us is a precious and necessary gift that contributes to the larger whole of our world.
