How I turned my scars into beautiful art and current taking my life journey and showing the world how tattoos have become more than just beautiful art now. It’s become a form of therapy. Redefining a scar of pain or abuse gives one empowerment to speak what we want out scar to represent, not giving power to what caused them.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 16th
I’ve always strived to bring awareness and wisdom to my audience in any way I can. Recently, I took some time away in the UK to be with my older siblings who have been facing significant health challenges. It had been four long years since our last meeting, and it was a much-needed reunion.
However, this hiatus had its consequences. I’ve fallen behind in the fundraising efforts for “Our Forgotten Children’s” book project, and it’s currently far from reaching the required amount for publication. We have a wonderful team of 12 authors plus me, who’ve generously shared their expertise and wisdom on improving the lives of our children. They’ve dedicated their time to sharing this invaluable knowledge.
I am committed to ensuring that these authors don’t bear the financial burden of this project, as it’s also intended to be a fundraiser for their chosen organizations supporting children’s causes. Each author will allocate their portion of the proceeds to their respective organizations, furthering the vital work they do for our children. Your support is greatly appreciated in making this vision a reality.
Are we asking too much of you the listener, the reader, the supporter? While the world is indeed facing its share of brutal conflicts and widespread poverty, endeavors like “Our Forgotten Children” are crucial because they contribute to showing a brighter future is possible. Stories and awareness like these serve as a beacon of hope and catalysts for changes so desperately needed in our children’s lives.
By addressing the way we raise our children, focusing on education, societal values, mental health support, self-value, and self-esteem, we can empower the next generation to find their purpose and place in the world. This, in turn, can reduce the cycle of discontent and anger that often leads to senseless violence and conflicts. It’s about building a world where such wars become increasingly rare, and where compassion, understanding, and peace prevail. Every effort counts in shaping this better future.
I wholeheartedly support the idea of turning “Our Forgotten Children” into a series that brings more authors and perspectives on this crucial subject. It’s a vital step toward deepening our understanding of the issues at hand and finding effective solutions. Our author’s initiative to shed light on what’s going wrong and how we can make positive changes is commendable.
However, your support is essential to making this endeavor a reality. Without the backing of individuals like you who believe in the importance of this cause, we cannot bring this book and its valuable insights to the forefront. Together, we can make a difference and contribute to a more compassionate and informed world.

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Collin Jennifer Ruiz, on air from September 25th
Collin was sent to jail for a two year sentence in place of her brother whom they could not find. The injustice of it all is enough to cripple anyone, but what she learned while in jail, changed everything about her self and instead of serving nutritional foods, she served nutrition for the soul.
The topic of my book is how I changed my perspective of prison, and how that changed my experience. We often find ourselves feeling trapped, stuck, or imprisoned. I hope that my journey empowers/inspires others to find their freedom.
My Why is for people to experience freedom in the face of the limitations and constraints life throws at them. In my book I share how I discovered my own freedom inside a Federal prison. I had a therapist who challenged me to reframe my time in prison as if I were living in a monastery. That shift in perspective made all the difference in my experience of those two years.
Collin Ruiz, MS, a nutrition consultant of Holistic Nutrition. Holistic nutrition encourages consciously eating healthy foods to promote vibrant physical and mental health, while supporting a strong immune system and preventing disease.
Collin’s approach embraces “bio-individuality”- addressing each person’s unique needs with specific and personal nutritional solutions.
Collin augments nutrition with mindfulness practices as well as health and wellness coaching. Her clients express appreciation for her constant encouragement, insightfulness, creativity, and compassion.
Clients often come to Collin to address immediate health concerns and continue to work with her to enhance wellbeing and fulfillment through the seasons, changes, and challenges of living.

Traveling back home to see your sister and brother can be a powerful journey through time and memory, filled with a mix of nostalgia and complexity. It’s remarkable how our earliest roots and experiences continue to hold a special place in our hearts, no matter how far and wide we may have traveled.
Childhood Memories: Returning to your childhood home can flood your mind with vivid memories of the past. The sights, sounds, and smells of the place where you grew up can transport you back to a simpler time. You may find yourself reminiscing about the adventures, joys, and even the challenges of your youth.
Familiarity and Foreignness: The paradox of feeling both familiar and foreign is common when revisiting your roots. While the place and people may be familiar, you’ve undoubtedly changed over the years. The environment might feel different, and you may need time to readjust to the place that was once so integral to your life.
Longing for Home: There’s a saying that “home is where the heart is,” and it’s evident in your experience. Even though you left the UK in 1969, those initial roots continue to call to you. Home, in many ways, remains a part of your identity, no matter where you’ve lived or how long you’ve been away.
Flashbacks of a Life Lived: Each corner of your hometown likely holds memories of experiences, people, and events that have shaped you. Visiting these places can trigger vivid flashbacks, allowing you to relive moments from your past and reflect on the person you’ve become as a result of those experiences.
Childhood’s End: Returning to your childhood home can also serve as a reminder of the passage of time. Childhood, once so vivid and immediate, now exists in the realm of memory. It’s a bittersweet realization that highlights the inevitability of change and growth.
Connection to Roots: Your journey back to the UK underscores the enduring connection you have to your roots. It’s a testament to the enduring power of place and family in shaping who we are. These connections can ground us, providing a sense of continuity and belonging in an ever-changing world.
In revisiting your past, you have the opportunity to reconnect with the essence of who you are and to appreciate the journey you’ve taken. While the feelings of familiarity and foreignness may coexist, the beauty of such journeys lies in the depth of reflection and the rekindling of bonds with loved ones who share your history. It’s a reminder that our roots, no matter how distant in time or place, remain an integral part of our identity and continue to shape our present and future.
