23-47. Prepping for the New Year 2

November 20, 2023November 20, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 2 Comments

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air form November 21st

Reflecting on my current situation, I find myself grappling with a significant decision regarding the timeline of a project or task at hand. The pressing question I’m facing is whether this needs to be wrapped up within the current year, or if it’s feasible and acceptable to let it extend into the next year.

As I sit here, considering the workload and responsibilities that are already lined up for the next few weeks, I’m leaning towards the realization that extending the timeline into next year is not just a possibility, but perhaps the most practical choice. This decision isn’t made lightly; it’s born out of a realistic assessment of my current commitments and the scope of work that remains.

The conclusion that ‘the answer is yes’ to extending the deadline into the next year is a reflection of my understanding of the situation. It takes into account various factors such as the quality of work, my well-being, and the potential benefits of allowing more time to ensure that the task or project is completed to the best of my abilities.

As I make this decision, I’m aware that it may necessitate clear communication with any stakeholders involved. It’s important to convey not just the change in timeline, but also the reasoning behind it, ensuring that everyone understands and is on board with this revised plan.

Navigating through these considerations, I feel this approach will ultimately lead to a better outcome for the project and for myself.

It’s indeed okay to not push an agenda and to go with the flow. This mindset can be particularly beneficial in situations where forcing a course of action might lead to unnecessary stress or complications.

The idea that encountering resistance could be an indicator that either the situation or we ourselves are not ready for a particular change or action is quite insightful to oneself. It suggests a level of awareness and adaptability that can be crucial in both personal and professional contexts.

Resistance, whether internal or external, often signals that there might be aspects of a situation that haven’t been fully considered or understood yet. It might mean that more preparation is needed, or that circumstances aren’t conducive to the desired course of action. In such cases, taking a step back, reevaluating the situation, and allowing things to unfold more naturally can lead to more harmonious and effective outcomes.

Embracing this approach can also involve a degree of patience and open-mindedness. It allows for the possibility that there might be alternative paths or solutions that haven’t been considered yet, and that these might emerge more clearly when not forcing a specific agenda.

In summary, going with the flow and being mindful of resistance is a valuable strategy. It encourages a more responsive, rather than reactive, approach to challenges and opportunities.

23-46. Finishing up the year.

November 13, 2023November 13, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 14th

As the year draws to a close, that ever-present sense of urgency looms over us. We’re left wondering how we can manage to tie up loose ends, meet our goals, and make room for new beginnings in 2024, all while allowing ourselves the simple pleasure of just being in the moment.

The challenge lies in striking that delicate balance between productivity and mindfulness. It’s crucial to create a clear plan to wrap up any outstanding tasks and projects, prioritizing what needs immediate attention. Break these tasks into manageable chunks, allocate specific time slots for them, and stay disciplined.

But it’s equally important to carve out dedicated time for reflection and planning for the year ahead. What are your aspirations for 2024? What new projects or goals do you want to pursue? Taking some quiet moments to contemplate these questions can help set a clear direction.

And let’s not forget the importance of ‘just being.’ Amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s essential to find moments of peace and relaxation. Whether it’s spending time with loved ones, pursuing a hobby, or simply taking a leisurely walk in nature, these moments of serenity recharge our spirits and allow us to appreciate the present.

For me, the year-end rush isn’t just about wrapping up my annual projects; it’s also about ushering two books into publication and ensuring they receive the attention they deserve. One of these projects involves hosting an Authors Anthology Summit for the “Our Forgotten Children” book. While I still have some chapters to edit, it’s clear that certain aspects need to be accomplished by year-end, while others can benefit from a fresh start in the new year.

The key is to prioritize and strategize effectively. Finishing up the annual projects may take precedence, ensuring a strong finish for the current year. This allows me to focus on the book projects with renewed energy in the beginning of the year.

The Authors Anthology Summit can be a great way to kick off the new year, but that is going to be in December to promote the pre order of the book. Instead the new year will be authors hour, where people can ask the authors questions on their chapter and experiences, creating excitement and anticipation around the book and what its message really is. As we move forward, we can carefully plan the release and marketing strategies, ensuring that these books ( mine included) receive the recognition they deserve.

In this way, we can strike a balance between wrapping up the old and ushering in the new, allowing us to achieve our goals while also finding moments of peace and relaxation during this busy season.

So, as we navigate the final days of this year, let’s embrace the urgency to complete our tasks, the excitement of new beginnings, and the tranquility of being in the here and now. In this delicate dance, we can find harmony and fulfillment.

23-39. Sara’s Back in the UK

September 25, 2023September 22, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

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.

23-37. Balancing all the Balls

September 11, 2023September 16, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara Troy on Sara’s View of Life, on air from September 12th

“It’s a funny thing about life. We send our wishes, hopes, and dreams out into the vastness, almost like throwing a message in a bottle into the ocean, hoping that the universe will answer. We meticulously chart out our paths, believing we’ve accounted for every twist and turn. We anticipate a rhythm, expecting milestones to unveil themselves one at a time. But here’s the catch: the universe has its own rhythm, its own mysterious cadence that doesn’t always align with our carefully laid plans.

And now, here I am. I waited, I hoped, and sometimes even doubted. But just when I least expected it, the universe delivered. It didn’t hand me one answer; it showered me with all of them, all at once. It’s like waiting for a bus on a cold winter’s day for what feels like hours, and then three show up simultaneously. It’s overwhelming, thrilling, and a tad bit intimidating.

So, the challenge I face isn’t about the waiting anymore. It’s about juggling these blessings, these opportunities that have suddenly been thrust upon me. I find myself in the thick of it all, doing a delicate balancing act, ensuring that not a single ball drops. It’s a reminder that life’s gifts don’t always come in expected packages or on our timeline. Sometimes, it’s a flood when we were bracing for a drizzle. But amidst the chaos, there’s a lesson, a hidden blessing, teaching us agility, resilience, and the power of embracing the unexpected.”

“Oh, the whirlwind of life! Just as I’m finalizing my memories and moments for my memoir, a labor of love that has traveled with me through time, I’m also nurturing the seeds of ‘Our Forgotten Children.’ book series, which is so close to my heart, it not only demands creative energy but also the challenge of fundraising to produce the anthology. Our children’s need need to be protected and we must change in the way we raise and invest in our children. Yet, there’s more. With two TV platforms beckoning, the spotlight and the screens are waiting, each requiring its own set of preparations, energy, and vision. And amidst all this beautiful chaos, I’m packing my bags for a month-long escape to see family ( and finish editing books). The universe sure has a quirky sense of timing! But here’s the deal: I’m ready. One page, one child’s story, one screen, and one day at a time.”

23-35. As Summer Ends

August 28, 2023August 27, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from August 29th

As the last warm rays of summer start to mellow, they cast long shadows, heralding the approach of autumn. It’s always a bit melancholic when summer draws to an end, but fall, with its russet hues and crisp air, brings its own sense of purpose. It reminds me of turning pages in a book, which is apt because I’m about to dive deep into two significant writing projects.

The first is deeply personal – My Life’s Reflections. Penning down a lifetime of experiences, choices, moments of joy and sorrow is no small feat. It requires introspection, vulnerability, and sheer honesty. I need to encapsulate all that I’ve felt, seen, and done. While it’s daunting, I also believe it’s going to be therapeutic, allowing me to see patterns, learnings, and maybe even offer others some insights from my journey.

Then there’s the ‘Our Forgotten Children’ anthology. This is not merely a project; it embodies a movement. It’s a collection of tales from individuals who have actively worked with children, shedding light on the pressing need to transform the surroundings we nurture our children in. Each chapter is a testament—a voice, a story, an appeal, even an anthem of hope. These narratives highlight the inherent flaws in our systems and emphasize actionable ways to reform them, ensuring the well-being of both parents and children. By strengthening their bonds and fortifying their spirits, we can hope for a brighter future. Having Krystal Hille Publishing on board for the editing instills a sense of calm within me. Their esteemed reputation and meticulous approach guarantee that every tale will be treated with utmost respect and refinement. Yet, the road ahead is long – there’s the challenge of raising funds, streamlining coordination, and overseeing production. And the clock is ticking, with only four weeks at my disposal, to get all the chapters over to Krystal and raise that money to produce it.

The urgency isn’t just about the change in season; it’s also personal. The UK is calling me back. Family ties, with near death experiences with aging siblings, the need to see them is strong, as it has been 4 years since. The pandemic has been a formidable barrier, keeping me oceans apart from loved ones. This upcoming trip is about reconnection, healing, and maybe even finding some semblance of direction for the future in hand. But before that, the tasks at hand loom large. The next four weeks are going to be intense, filled with late-night writing sessions, brainstorming, and possibly copious amounts of coffee. But there’s a intense excitement too. The kind you feel when you’re on the brink of something profound. As the leaves turn golden and begin to fall, I’m reminded of the impermanence of it all and the importance of making every moment count.

Let the next chapter begin.
