Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy on air from March 8th
In your life expect some trouble, that is life, but worrying about it will not resolve the problem you have.
How do we not worry? We need to take a deep breath, redirect ourselves into something we have power over, or go for a walk, watch a movie, but take ourselves out of the worrying. When you come back in, it is easier to see a solution. Sometimes like those fleeing Ukraine, their worry if they will ever be able to go home, but living in worry for something so unsure right now is not going to resolve anything in the now. Do what you can and be productive in a different way. Those who have found shelter, you are safe right now. So poor yourself from a place of gratitude into helping your country in ways that you can. Speaking out, bringing awareness, sharing your story, and send out positive energy of triumph to all those who are left fighting.
Although you feel everything is against you, pause, cry, release, and then look to what you can do however small, and feel empowered to get into action. This puts you on the road of solutional productivity and opens up all possibilities that you can see in the worry mode.
I know it takes practice, and we all have so much to worry about, but we know worrying helps nothing, and choosing to do something is the road to resolving our problems.
Whatever you are facing in life, know this, you can and will get THROUGH it and there is always an answer when we are ready to receive.
OUR PRAYERS AND LOVING ENERGY IS WITH THE UKRAINE AND ALL THOSE CAUSING SUCH PAIN AND DISMAY WILL CHANGE THEIR MINDS TO STAND UP TO SUCH A TYRANT AND BE COLLECTIVELY THE PEACE UKRAINE AND THE WORLD NEEDS.
Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Don Edward Cook, on air from March 8th
Don Cook plunges readers into a layered world of science and religion in this intricate first installment in the Last of the Atlanteans series. In Cook’s premier book of this saga, not only humanity — but the entire world — is in danger of becoming extinct. Can humanity be saved and transported to another planet? Can an alien help save humanity? Cook has readers on edge, from start to finish.
“I enjoy writing meaningful tales that force the reader to question everything and not to be blind,” says Cook. “For the seeking individual who wants to discover a good, moral foundation, they may find it wrapped up in my adventurous tale.”
Trends in science-fiction thrillers and why Judeo-Christian ones are very popular
Is humanity in danger of destroying itself – and in need of a fresh start?
What a Noah’s Ark of today – a spacecraft – would look like today
The number of parallels between the world of Atlantis and today’s times
Does technology foster and exacerbate evil in the world?
In the new book, Noah has warned the world about the coming flood. But other than his family, no one has paid any attention. No one listened … except for an Atlantean telepathic wunderkind-scientist, Ithyanna. Ithy, as her friends called her, saw the impending destruction and, through her extensive doctoral research, urged the building of at least one space-ark to carry a nucleus of humans to safety. But only a handful of people signed on, one of them a wealthy financier-cultural demagogue, and thus work began on Project Life-Escape and its starship of life.
Battling ever-growing economic woes, scoffing masses, the duplicity of her benefactor, a growing threat of all-out war with totalitarian Lemuria, and resistance from the Divine, Ithyanna and her project workers toil bravely to save humanity. But will Ithyanna’s valiant efforts to get humans to another world succeed… or fail?
What happens when the creator himself comes and stands in the way? Cook keeps the action brisk and tension high, and his vast sci-fi world is utterly intricate, demanding careful reading on readers’ part. Jumping between various timelines and managing a large array of characters, Cook has masterfully created a whole new world. Don Edward Cook decided to become a writer late in life. As a Canadian who identifies with classic American ideals, and his faith in God and love for science fiction, Cook was inspired to write a Judeo-Christian, science fiction thriller, Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis: Book 1 – how the world Ended Millennia Ago.
This novel is based upon his short film, The Last Atlantean (2009), which garnered a place in the top ten percentile of IMDb’s MovieMeter (during the summer of 2010.)
He was a member of the Canadian Authors Association and the London Area Writers. He was affiliated with Raindance Toronto, a filmmaking institute for independent filmmakers. His strongest creative influences are The Twilight Zone’s Rod Serling, Star Trek’s Gene Roddenberry, and legendary author C.S. Lewis. Cook, 59, published his first book several years ago, The Invader Candidate.
When Cook, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, is not penning save-the-world novels, he enjoys several hobbies. He is an avid model builder, whose specialty subjects include MiGs (a Soviet/Russian line of fighter aircraft), Mirages (a French line of mostly delta-winged military jets), and Mach-busters (a term that is self-explanatory). He is also a huge fan of classic rock, especially The Moody Blues, as well as surf pioneers, The Beach Boys, and country music icon Johnny Cash.
Born in Stratford, Ontario, and raised in Bornholm, Ontario, he attended Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. He earned a General Arts and Sciences Degree, a diploma on broadcasting Television, and a post-graduate diploma in the Advanced filmmaking program. Mr. Cook currently resides in London, Ontario, Canada.
“This first installment of a religion-themed SF/fantasy saga focuses on the high-tech but intrigue-wracked… nation of Atlantis and how a brilliant woman trusts science to rescue humanity from doom… In this engrossing tale, treachery, arrogance, violence, nonbelief, and selfishness beset the eponymous hero’s plans and illuminate God’s true path… This work certainly isn’t part of the Tim LaHaye/Jerry B. Jenkins school of Christian fantasy. An engaging, offbeat, and Bible-inspired apocalyptic tale.” — Kirkus Reviews

His Steamy Romantic Novel Tells How A Chance Encounter Over Coffee Led to an Inescapable Harmonious Love Affair
There are parts of the story that are based on his personal experiences, and he chose to combine existentialism with erotica and ignite the sensual passion that lies within all of us.
He uses the phrase “Is Love a cruel game we call happiness” BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE.
Suave and sophisticated, Elia is an architect residing in Hudson Valley, New York circa 1992 where he failed, conventional marriage with Beth is leaving him uneasy with life. Marriage, in general, can be hard enough but throw in Beth’s mental illness and years of trying to keep it all together – everyone, including Elia was surprised it lasted as long as it did. Then, a chance encounter with the alluring, hedonist Anais over morning coffee helps him to regain the passions he thought he lost forever.
Ella and Anais find themselves drawn together in a hot and uninhibited affair as they attempt to find harmony in the analogy of their opposites. In their attempt to free themselves from the conventions and taboos of the adolescent bourgeoisie sexual mores, they eventually find themselves shackled to an inescapable mutual love they never anticipated and equally fear. But is this love enough to sustain their boomer lives?
Richard Cirulli is an author, playwright, and founder of the Demitasse Players, a 501 (c ) (3) charity. Founded on the mission to write and produce plays to bring awareness to mental health, the Demitasse Players aim to remove the many taboos of mental illness. They teach people about mental disorders, and how these illnesses impact caregivers, friends, and family. For more information, please visit:

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 1st
This isan article I wrote 21 years ago, did I live up to my expectations come and hear where I am now? Getting a new perspective on life at 46 I asked myself this question and had to face the answer… Did I like the answer? No
I have recently come to a crossroads in my life. The direction that I have taken is very different from what I expected. I am a middle-aged woman with dreams gone by, or so I thought. Way back, when I was a wacky young creature with a free-spirited and passionate about life I was always full of fun, seeking adventures. Perhaps I was a victim of too many expectations. I was always asked, ‘when will you settle down girl’ or’ when will you get a real job?’
Sometimes we live life by those expectations, and don’t trust our own instincts to just be. . . Your parents lived a life that way, so why not you? But were they happy? People expect us to be something they believe to be normal. Their expectations came from their parents and so on, and society dictates the same.
‘Why can’t we all get along?’ We have heard or said this so many times before, but do we answer it? Most of the time we are too scared to. We are afraid that we may not like the answer or that we might have to do something about it. I asked myself this question recently and had to face the answer head-on. Did I like the answer? No. But I faced it and I have answered it back, and I am so glad I did.
I had to come to the realisation that I lived for and through other people’s lives. I think I am a very caring person with a lot of understanding of others’ feelings. I embrace others’ pain and try to make it better. I empathize with them, but sometimes I am incapable of feeling for myself. Is it that I am afraid? Or that I don’t trust anyone to let them in? Yes to both. I have learned that if you tell some people your true feelings, they will hurt you with it. On my journey to a better life, I have come across a program called ‘True Colours’. These are your personality colours represented by four different colours. Gold, blue, orange, and green. These colours each represent personality traits, and in understanding these colours I have opened my awareness to others and myself.
We are not all made the same, nor do we feel, think, or do the same. This is why we clash with life because we expect other people to be as we are. Shock time guys. Our differences are what make us unique. This is what attracts others to us.
We know that trying to be the same just does not work, and those true personalities will always stand out no matter what. So why can’t we accept that and embrace our differences, instead of fearing them? This subject has completely opened my eyes to myself, and where I had been going wrong. I felt that I had to apologise to everyone for myself. I thought that I was being judged, whereas I was the judge and jury. I was living for others’ expectations, not my own.
Now is very different. I am inspired and can feel my wings flapping and raring to go. I am starting a new business, a new life, and I have new expectations. My own. I have never felt so confident or courageous before. I have traveled to twenty-two countries and lived in four of them, finding time to have three children on the way. Now is the time that I really am beginning to feel life, trust in what it has to give, and embrace its wonders without fear.
Turning 46 is no time to start settling down. I have had my 3 wonderful children and I am very proud of who they are and my part in it. Now is the time for me. Time to be just a little bit wacky again. To trust in me, and not to be overly critical of myself or others. We are at a place in time for a reason. Trusting in a higher power and letting your life just ‘be’ is hard for some. But I do believe our actions and reactions are our choices. We can accept responsibility for our actions and focus on optimism, it is all up to us and our attitude.
I will be a success. I say it with pride, not vanity because I am working towards it. I am believing in myself and others and in life. I have not launched my business yet, but I already have customers in the wings waiting.
We only live but once and life events really do go in cycles. So never curl up and say that it’s all over, do something to bring on the next cycle. Be proactive. We are privileged to be alive. Ask not ‘Why me, ’ go ahead and explore life. The key is to believe in something, and yourself. I am not over the hill. ‘I am woman, hear me roar.’ My life experiences are my skills. My pains are my journey to understanding. My fear is my empowerment; my courage is my ammunition. I will not only survive, but I will truly live.
We must place value on ourselves and what we can contribute to life, not on sex or numbers. If you choose to be old before your time, maybe that is your comfort zone. But ask yourself one question. ‘Would you prefer a different life?’ If you answer “yes” then do something, however, small, to change it. Life is forever changing, don’t get left behind. I wish you love courage and strength for your journey.
NOW 21 years later I look back and see how much my life has changed. My children are grown beautiful souls, I am a Grandma, single, and have been proudly podcasting for 10 years now. Take your journey, look back to see how far you have come, and keep growing, for you are not dead yet.
