THE ME TREE

Bear just wants a tree for himself. No roommates, no guests, just sweet solitude. So he packs up his things, finds a great listing for a spacious tree, and moves in. At first, it’s perfect. Just what he wanted. But he soon realizes that his tree might not be just for him… in fact, there seem to be quite a few residents of this tree. Will Bear learn how to share his Me Tree?

C22-18 Dreama and Bob “Gilligan” Denver & Autism


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Dreama Denver, on air from May 3rd

Dreama Denver: is the wife of late classic TV icon Bob “Gilligan” Denver and the award-winning author of ‘Gilligan’s Dreams’ who has single-handedly carried on her husband’s legacy since his passing. The Denver Foundation is a non-profit foundation started by Bob and Dreama in honor of their severely autistic son, Colin. They understood firsthand in an up-close-and-personal way exactly what families face when presented with the challenge of caring for a family member with special needs. Today, the Denver Foundation assists special needs individuals in  West Virginia. Under Dreama’s tutelage, its mission has expanded to include West Virginia’s Always Free Honor Flight, which recognizes the sacrifices of our veterans with free trips to Washington, DC, to see the memorials built to honor their service.

Actress, writer, radio station owner, and personality Dreama Denver met her husband of almost 30 years, television icon Bob Denver (Gilligan of Gilligan’s Island, Maynard G. Krebs of Dobie Gillis), when she was cast as his love interest in the Woody Allen play, “Play It Again, Sam”. After marrying the popular television personality, Dreama continued her acting career, appearing in a Gilligan’s Island reunion movie with Bob, co-starring with him in a TV pilot titled “Scamps” and touring the U.S. and Canada successfully and happily with her husband for over a decade.

The birth of Denver’s son Colin, diagnosed with severe autism, changed everything for Bob and Dreama, who retired from show business and moved back to West Virginia to devote the next two decades to Colin’s full-time care. During this time, the pair also founded The Denver Foundation, which honors their son and is dedicated to assisting special needs children and their families.

“The Denver Foundation and Little Buddy Radio, a nonprofit radio station owned and operated by the Foundation, were Bob’s last and most important legacies,” Dreama says, “and making these two entities as successful as possible became my mission after Bob passed away. His desire to give back to West Virginia was huge. He loved this area, considered himself an adopted West Virginian and was a tireless ambassador for the state. Regardless of how important and far-reaching his television legacy was, and is, his love for our son and his desire to help other families like ours trumped even that.”

Since Bob’s death in 2005, Dreama has discovered new passions and new directions in which to take the foundation. Founding Always Free Honor Flight, WV’s first Honor Flight program, honoring WV veterans with free trips to Washington, DC to visit the memorials built to honor their service is especially close to Dreama’s heart, as is the Denver Foundation’s Always Free Walk of Honor, installed and dedicated as a poignant addition to the War Memorial and Museum in Princeton.

22-16 The Hot & Cold of Life

Sara’s View of Life, with Sara Troy, on air from April 19th

Just like the weather, we all have hot and cold days. As winter turns into spring, we are experiencing snow one day, the blazing sun the next, and that is nature in transition and rebalancing herself. This is a metaphor for our lives, we can have great days and then ext not so much, but that does not stop us from living life.

Life can be a Roller-costor or a Ferris wheel, fast and furious on a journey of self-discovery, it is our choice. When we choose to slow down and be engaged in the moments, taking one step at a time finding our balance, and focusing on the now, we discover just how in control we can be of our life. Going fast can be an avoidance of dealing with life’s hot and cold days, and can prevent us from slowing down enough to be in the now, learning what we are really capable of.

There is a time for leaps, a time to jump blind deaf, and dumb in order to see hear and feel, and a time on being intuned in the moment of stillness and of concentrating on the now. Sometimes that leap is not in the jump, but in the choice to be present and take the one step at a time approach to life.

May the force be with you……….

22-14 Sara’s 10 Years of Podcasting

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 5th

If you told me back in April of 2012 that I would be podcasting for 10 years and growing, I would have laughed at you, but here we are, it is 10 years of podcast hosting with 9 years in June of my own network.

One never knows where our path will lead us, but if we are willing to walk it, we do discover why it is leading us that way and what it is all about. It truly has been an extraordinary journey for me, one of personal growth, self discovery, enlightenment, and humility, and I love where it has led me to now.

You can not hear the stories of such struggles, such abuse, such neglect, such venerability, and not be affected by those who CHOSE to walk away from the anguish that was imposed upon them and to embrace their own self-discovery. Their courage discovered, their strength revealed, abilities shown and love of self embraced, it truly is the most illuminating thing one can hear and be a part of, for it shows us just how abundant, enriched, and flawsome we really are and what we are capable of if we try.

I am exceedingly proud of the trust that people have put in me in sharing their stories, and in how not only have they referred me, but come back again to continue to inspire and invite us all to rise up to our own awesomeness. To you all, I thank you, for without your honesty, trust, and venerability, we would not be able to inspire so many in choosing to walk into their own personal growth of abundance.

We are so much more capable than we know, so much stronger, resilient and courageous, if only we choose to step away from fear and past conditioning, and decide to walk forward to a more meaningful fulfilling, and enriching life.

With approximately 2700 shows under my belt, and with so many more to come, I am going for the next ten years to bring you more of the divine exuberant, and empowering people that you would ever want to know. Remember this, whatever notoriety they may have in their lives now, they also had to walk the path of self-discovery and pick from the Orchard of Wisdom to allow themselves to grow and become the illuminating people that they are today. It is in all of us, we just need to decide to walk away from outdated patterns and beliefs and embrace our true essence and divine ability that is our journey in life.

HERE IS TO THE NEXT 10 YEARS

It’s back to school season, and this means a time of new beginnings, fresh starts, and adjusting to change. What can we, as parents, do to support both our ourselves and our children during this time of transition?
UK Therapist and the founder of Conscious Parenting, Sally Saint, shares her inspiring story, tips for the new school season, and how allowing your child to express his/her emotions, feel his/her feelings, and allow themselves to be vulnerable during the first few days of the new school year and beyond can lead to a healthy and memorable year, both for you and your child/children.


JOIN SARA AND SALLY AS THEY DISCUSS OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE.

“Do not close your eyes and ears if you are not a parent, for the deepest parenting journey is of self.” (Sally Saint) Sally Saint is a UK-based therapist, energy healer, artist, and the founder of Conscious Parenting, serving as a support worker for families whose children have learning difficulties and behavioural challenges.
Sally’s life has taken her down many paths and has seen her walk through challenging terrain, but it was the creation and birth of her son Edward, that gave her the key to unlocking the door of transformation in a deep and profound way. The qualification, the spiritual work, the books she read, all slotted into place when her journey of motherhood began to unfold. Now, with her passion and expertise, she connects with others across the planet, to offer the wisdom she has unlocked on her own epic journey.
Sally has over 16 years of experience in working with energy to facilitate healing for clients around the world, being a trained Reiki practitioner, reflexologist, and massage therapist, having a natural ability to read the energy of another (in person or via distance), then to actively work with the person’s energy to release any blockages and facilitate expansion. Her artwork, a constant friend and companion since childhood, is another example of how she is able to directly connect with her clients in a very deep and meaningful way to facilitate healing and release.
Sally’s purpose is to hold the space for those parents who are navigating their own healing and parenting journeys so they can remain in direct contact with their hearts. She has absolute faith in the transformation of self, from societal-led to heart-led lives.
After working at her child’s school, an independent, Montessori-inspired school, which has a rehabilitation unit attached to it (the only one of its kind in the UK), Sally was able to see how the lives of children were turned around. She believes that children can shift from their trauma to become fully happy and vibrant beings when given the right tools.
