ECO Sustainability with Sara Troy and her guest Alison Goldwyn, on air from November 2nd
Earth has been poorly marketed. Alison is an edutainment producer & climate alchemist, engaging Media & the Creative Arts to help change the worldwide Emotional Climate – a root of the Climate Change Crisis and nearly all our global ills.
Alison believes that the gaping hole in our global whole is due, in part, to a disconnect from Soul … and that Civilisation’s healthy maturation hinges on rekindling this timeless connection. During 2020 lockdown she co-produced and presented for the 4 day Source of Wonder online event featuring 80 Presenters & Artists from diverse global sectors on behalf of uplifting a worldwide community with TLC (Tender Loving Care). Alison is in her 34th year of party planning Synchronistory®; an unprecedented, interstellar, music-propelled “B’earthday Party” for the Planet celebrating every living being—broadcast live worldwide! As the global family is upended with escalating crises and a worldwide Aerospace Industry ventures into Outer Space Exploration, it feels like a birth on earth, the “b’earth contractions” of which are intensifying and accelerating. It’s incumbent upon our survival to shift perceptions about the world around us – and within us. Sync’s dazzling companion ride through Inner Space Exploration opens our eyes; helping a world of 8 billion earthly stars get Spaced Out & Tuned In with a musically thrilling Cosmic show that vivifies As Above So Below.
Additionally, Alison is the Founder & Creative Director of a unique global brand that tangibly illuminates our forgotten love story between Nature & Human Nature with conscious jewels for a precious world: J’aimestones® fine art jewelry. She is affiliated with Al Gore / The Climate Reality Project, two time Nobel Nominee Ervin Laszlo / The Club of Budapest & Laszlo Institute for New Paradigm Research, John Bunzl’s global governance platform Simpol (The Simultaneous Policy) … and the Cosmos.
Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 26th
Halloween is coming up and it is going to be different again this year. We know our kiddies love dressing up and having fun Trick and Treating if they are allowed to this year. We can make it fun and safe for them no matter the restrictions. Have a party at home with your close friends (that applies to adults too), hide the treats and make it a hunt.
Your school may have a dressing up day, but for those that don’t, because of religious reasons or? we can still share the candy and joy if not the reason behind the day. We do not have to buy an outfit, mix and match what you already have, and go to town with the makeup, get creative.
Now to those who are going to suffer from the fireworks, please know this is serious and we can do laser lights to music, drones, and other things and not the loud fireworks that cause so many problems for so many living beings. Let not our momentary joy cause so much pain and suffering for those who fear the loud bangs and for our creatures who will be affected because of them.
HAVE A GOOD TIME WHILE BEING MINDFUL AND RESPECTFUL PLEASE.
According to the Journals of Gerontology, “one in three baby boomers falls into the category of separated, divorced, widowed, or never married.” Millennials are also following this trend; a recent Gallup poll indicates that 59 percent of the 73 million millennials are single and have never married.
Adding fuel to the fire is the caregiver crisis – the decline in the number of people available to provide in-home care, including family members. Longevity, singledom, and isolation is a recipe for disaster.
Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old?: Plan Now to Safeguard Your Health and Happiness in Old Age by Joy Loverde is a step-by-step guide to living the life you want for as long as possible.
Every day, I relive the critical decision I made as a fourteen-year-old attending Trinity, an all-girl’s Catholic high school in River Forest, Illinois. When Sr. Dorothy was looking for a student to visit nursing-home residents on Thanksgiving morning, I hesitated; then raised my hand to volunteer. That decision changed my life forever.
Upon entering the nursing home, I observed seven residents sitting motionless in the dark. No one was talking. No one was smiling. Everyone was staring into nothingness. I was shocked at what I witnessed, and immediately started grappling for answers to questions no one seemed to be asking:
Who are these elders?
What series of events led them to a life of resignation?
How did they end up isolated and alone in their old age?
And why are they not with their families on Thanksgiving Day?
Since that visit to the nursing home, I have never looked back. I vowed to find answers to these and other vital questions. For the next 40 years I would advocate and troubleshoot the causes, concepts, and needs of the world’s aging population. Especially people who are aging solo.
My career-path in marketing and media relations switched gears in the mid-1980’s when I became keenly aware of complex problems associated with populations of people getting older, living alone, living longer, and the need to care for them. Responding to this trend, I wrote my first boo, The Complete Eldercare Planner. Random House is the publisher. It is a best-seller in its category and in its sixth edition.
Ahead of the curve once again, my latest book, Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old? offers practical strategies on planning for old age and the possibility of aging solo.
“When we plan, we have choices.” This is the promise of both of my books.
During my career, I have been interviewed on the TODAY Show, Good Morning America, National Public Radio stations, SiriusXM and others. I have written hundreds of blogs and articles. I’ve been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine, New York Times, Money Magazine, U.S. News & World Report, Reader’s Digest, and a host of others. USA TODAY ran a four-part series on my family-caregiver programs.
Joy Loverde is a consultant, keynote speaker, and spokesperson for the mature-market industry. Her work has been featured on NBC’s Today Show, the CBS Early Show, NPR, and in USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. She lives in Chicago.
“Clear, practical, relevant, vital… this book engages readers to create
their own customizable plan for aging. An exceptionally worthwhile read.”
Bob Blancato, Chairman, American Society on Aging
“Your book is the support many are looking for.”
Sherrill Wayland MSW, Manager of National Projects
SAGE Advocacy and Services for LGBT elders
“This book effectively challenges the notion that aging means disability
and with that, stigma of being old.”
Dilip V. Jeste, M.D., Director, Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging
University of California, San Diego
“…thoughtfully discusses a wide range of crucial life issues with
deep understanding, complete candor, and inspired guidance for all.”
David Schless, President, American Seniors Housing Association, Washington, DC
Loverde has spent a lifetime interacting with thousands of true experts—old people themselves. Using their advice as a blueprint, Loverde outlines five sections to think about and get in order when planning for old age: personal readiness, housing, relationships (including beloved pets), chronic illness and health, and end of life.

An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Bill Saubert, on air from October 26th
Bill Saubert to discuss his debut thriller The Girl With The Green Lipstick. This is based on a true story — Bill’s story.
A psychological thriller shows how one lonely man could easily fall for a sexy woman whom he really doesn’t know — not only does she try to steal his heart, but also tries to steal his money, run his business into the ground, and hires her lover to kill him….
BASED ON A TRUE STORY Imagine losing the love of your life to cancer at a time when your “golden years” are not too far away. Then imagine entering the dating scene after a long layoff — heart-broken and desperate for romance. You come upon an attractive woman on an online dating site and she takes an interest in you. Things move quickly. Everything about her is new and exciting, yet familiar enough to feel you can let your guard down in her presence. You get married. Then things start to unravel.
We are not talking about a marriage that gets off to a rocky start. We are talking about a disaster.
After stealing your heart, she steals from your business and personal bank accounts. After filing for divorce you hire a private detective and only then do you learn the complete ugly and dangerous truth about the person you let into your life and with whom you shared your bed. You discover she was an addict, did prison time more than once, cheated on you, and thather lover planted an incendiary device in your home.
One man doesn’t have to imagine any of this. All of it happened to Bill Saubert. His debut thriller, The Girl With The Green Lipstick, is a dramatic rendition of the stunning chain of events.
“Though this is a novel, it is based on striking but real events,” says Bill, a multi-millionaire businessman who owns six UPS stores. “I am just glad to be alive to tell it.” He draws his paramour-turned-adversary with great detail and insight, as only one who has lived through this trauma could. His dramatic story unfolds like a movie, playing on some of the biggest fear-filled questions many of us have when dating: Do we really know who we are dating? Can we stay in love with someone who is bad for us? Could the person I love really hurt me? What do I do when my lover can’t be trusted? “My shocking, debut novel reveals how a psychologically damaged woman can so easily insert herself into a man’s life, stopping at nothing to get what she wants, no matter the price,” shares Bill. “It also reveals how anyone can be fooled, both by what they don’t know — and what they choose to ignore. This is not a crime-of-passion story, but a passion-of-crime story.”
Bill knows how to entertain and enlighten listeners of radio shows and podcasts. For the past seven years, he has hosted a show on the local Santa Fe NPR affiliate radio station.
