Shares tools for weathering the storms in this Age of Surprise

“We are entering The Age of Surprise, the 21st century. The mystical gates of a greater reality are poised to open, leading the way for humanity to regain intuition, spectacular ideas and expanded compassion and healing on a global scale. Live in the Tao of Surprise, and our challenging times will become our greatest gift of revelation and redemption.” Deirdre Hade

Welcome to the Age of Surprise. We are now at the greatest Doorway that humanity has ever entered- a time when the unexpected has now become expected more often than not. 2017 brought some of the largest hurricanes in U.S history and massive flooding in Texas. Thousands of acres burned throughout the US, including the 273,400 acres Thomas Fire that quite literally burned right up to the hedges of Deirdre Hade’s home in the hills of Montecito before the mudslides levelled her property with boulders the size of cars.

Experts say we should brace ourselves for more and larger disasters to come. It’s no wonder so many are feeling deep anxiety and stress. How can we deal with all of this? How can we stay grounded and connected? Is there any hope or redemption to be found in these disasters?

Mystic and spiritual guide Deirdre Hade shares illuminating insight into the healing mystical experience in The Age of Surprise and shares the tools to navigate this age with grace, forbearance, humour and resilience. Find the calm in the chaos in the Age of Surprise.

Deirdre Hade is a born mystic and visionary. Dedicated to healing those who have suffered from trauma, pain, and loss, Deirdre founded the non?profit organization The Foundation for Radiance which has worked closely with the Women’s Prison Association of New York and Nuevo Amanecer (Sister Trinidad Lopez’s program for women rescued from abuse and sexual slavery in East Los Angeles). She designed My Angel Pillow with Kellee White to bring the healing comfort of angels to children in hospitals all across the country.

A keeper of the World Peace Flame and founding member of the Association for Transformational Leaders of Southern California, Deirdre is a member of Jack Canfield’s Transformational Leadership Council, an organization of 150 world leaders in the field of personal transformation (including John Grey and Marianne Williamson). Deirdre’s teachings on the Power of Meditation are featured alongside the writings of other modern-day spiritual luminaries such as Neale Donald Walsch and Don Miguel Ruiz. She has been honoured by Dr. Iziz Fuqua and the Circles of Light, receiving the F.L.O.W.E.R. award for her pioneering work in energy healing. She has also been knighted by the Sovereign Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem for her humanitarian work.

26166788_10155890552841760_4515208742381513846_nA profound sensitive and psychic, Deirdre headed off to college at 17, determined to get a degree in anthropology. A chance meeting with Joseph Campbell, American mythologist and author of Hero with a Thousand Faces changed the course of her life. “Don’t go into anthropology,” he told her. “It will ruin your gift. You already have what we are all looking for.”

That same auspicious year, Deirdre was given a photocopy of the then unknown book, A Course in Miracles. For months, she voraciously studied the texts. This, along with her mentors in the southern gospel churches, gave her innately scientific mind a spiritual foundation. (Her parents were research scientists in biochemistry and physiology). At 16 she and her mother had a spiritual awakening allowing her mother with terminal breast cancer to live 13 years longer than expected. This became the foundational work for Deirdre’s Radiance Healing and Meditation System. Deirdre went on to have a successful dance career working with Robert Joffery, founder of The Joffery Ballet NYC, Frank Borman of the Royal Ballet of England to name a few. She founded an inner-city dance program for disadvantaged youth in the Memphis / Mid-South Region. Her Company, Celebrations of the Sacred, was a pioneer in the field of sacred dance.

Deirdre’s inner gifts and search for self-discovery brought her under the mentorship of elders and teachers in the mystical Christian tradition, the “I Am Presence” teachings, the Hindu Vedic tradition and Mussar and Lurianic Kabbalah, which she studied for over 20 years under the tutelage of two esteemed Rabbis in Los Angeles. Deirdre is overwhelmingly grateful to her mentor in personal psychology and women’ studies former head of USC Psychology dept. Dr. Lawanda Katzman Staenberg.

In 2004 Deirdre founded Radiance Healing and Meditation now simply called The Radiance Journey, a system of energy healing and mystical wisdom from the ancient knowledge of the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life. To date, Deirdre has given Radiance personal healing sessions and Radiance Journey Retreats to thousands. At The Omega Institute, The ACADEMI of Life, Urban Zen Center and Deepak home base in NYC, The Evolutionary Healing Institute in Miami, Florida, The Chopra Center at  La Costa , Canyon Ranch Resort and Montecito’s own Sacred Space. In 2018 she will be the main presenter at the Kripala Center in Stockbridge, Mass.

Her Radiance Pure Energy Program for energetic clearing and healing has been sold in over 132 countries. Deirdre’s book, The (not so) Little Book of Surprises, released in 2016, was presented by Donna Karan to a standing-room-only audience at her Urban Zen Center in New York City. Recently married, she and her husband William Arntz have created The Mystic and the PhysicistAn Exploration Into The Vanishing Point Where Science and Spirituality Meet presented to standing room only at Deepak Homebase, NYC this fall. They are currently filming this as a series.

C 18-09 Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Lily Sanders, on air from February 27th

Today, Lily Sanders can point to extraordinary the successes of being named one of the top 15 coaching experts in New York City, years as a soap opera regular and TV/movie dancer and actress, multiple-franchise owner, devoted mother and even a year as a featured Barnum & Bailey Circus show dancer!

But it was her private life that proved to be her real crucible. Repeatedly aligning herself with damaged men, she found herself once again emotionally and physically abused. And then in a life-long custody wrangle with her ex-husband over her beloved son. But she knew she had to break the pattern. So she started with herself.

Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth is the story of how she found her truth, how she forged a new relationship with her higher self and the Divine to be a beacon of love for those to follow.

Lily Sanders’ life experiences, adversity, talent, sense of humour, and intense compassion has gifted her a purpose to write, influence, and coach others. As a magazine columnist, Lily inspired thousands, while writing her own powerful book. Her newly international released book, Truth to Triumph: A Spiritual Guide to Finding Your Truth has already begun transforming lives.

It was the lowlights, not the highlights, that have defined and refined her. Looking at it objectively, Lily’s life sounds like a sad country song. Its refrain began early when she was very young, living with a depressed frightened mother, three siblings and an abusive father, who made life a living hell for the children and wife who helplessly watched. Lily endured until relief came when he departed, but that left her to be the adult to her childlike mother. It was through dance that she first found her footing. Passionately engaged, she could forget about everything else and just dance! And that was her ticket away from home for the first time, going on the road with the circus, learning tough lessons and standing on her own. Eventually, she pursued the life of a professional dancer, auditioning and getting TV, movie and theatre opportunities that blossomed ultimately into success as an actress. And then further success in business. But it was her private life that proved to be her real crucible. Repeatedly aligning herself with damaged men, she found herself once again emotionally and physically abused. And then in a life-long custody wrangle with her ex-husband over her beloved son. But she knew she had to break the pattern. So she started with herself.

C18-07 DO WOMEN STILL WANT TO BE SOMEONE’S VALENTINE?

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Prestell Askia, on air from February 13th


THERE’S A CHILL WIND BLOWING…

“The #MeToo movement is putting a chill on romance this Valentine’s Day, and a deep freeze on what for years has been a route to marriage: the office love affair, according to relationship experts.

The number of Americans admitting to being in an office romance has fallen, and some feminist activists call that change as well as zero tolerance for unacceptable behaviour in the workplace long overdue. The movement is sparking the kind of direct communication essential for love, they say.

#MeToo has dampened one traditional route to dating: Office romances. The percentage of U.S. workers are saying they were in one fell to a 10-year-low of 36 percent, according to a Nov. 28-Dec. 20 online Harris Poll of 809 private sector employees sponsored by recruitment site CareerBuilder.

That was down from 41 percent a year earlier, a statistically significant drop in a poll with a 3.45 percent margin of error.

“The #MeToo movement is splashing cold water on whatever embers of romance are struggling to survive between men and women,” said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist and author of “Bad Boys: Why We Love Them.”

C 18-08 “Never Give up on your Dream” with Cliff Simon

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Cliff Simon,  on air from February 20th

Never give up. Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. Do not conform to what you think others want or need you to be. Be yourself. No one can tell you, who you are going to become. No one is in charge of you. If you believe you will make it, you will, don’t listen to just anyone who says you cannot. Always be open to listening to people who have experience in what you want to do. Don’t conform.  Some teachers will tell you, ‘You will never be that.’ I hated school because of the constraints. School has nothing to do with how well you will perform in the pursuit of your dreams, or in life.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, an Air Force veteran and International athlete, Cliff Simon’s unique presence sets him apart every-time. A powerful veteran actor living in Los Angeles since 2000 realized his dream of becoming a USA citizen. He is a published author of ‘Paris Nights my year at the Moulin Rouge’.

At a very young age, Cliff aspired to be the first South African swimmer to win an Olympic Gold medal. His mother, being a swim teacher, had him in the pool before he could walk and instilled all the confidence he ever needed to follow that path. At the age of 6, he showed talent as a gymnast. By age 15 Cliff had reached a national level in South Africa in both swimming and gymnastics, but to go further in either one, he needed to devote 100% of his time to just one, and he chose swimming.

At age 15, with all the turmoil in South Africa, his parents decided to immigrate to the United Kingdom. It was here that Cliff completed his schooling and was chosen to swim in the British International squad. He competed in Olympic trials and qualified for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. He was offered scholarships to Houston University and Southern Methodist University in Texas, where he would train with the best United States swim team, the Mustangs. This would have culminated in him competing in the 1984 Olympic Games.

However, after scraping ice off his car windshield at 5am every morning for 3 years before heading off to swimming training and spending 61/2 hours a day in the pool, Cliff felt waterlogged, burnt out and that he was missing out on his social life as a young man. Halfway through a training session, Cliff climbed out of the pool, sat on the edge and told his coach that he was leaving and would be returning to sunny South Africa. Back in South Africa, Cliff entered the Air Force where he continued his swimming and achieved the highest athletic award given in the Air Force, the Victor Ludorum. In 1982 after serving his 2-year term, Cliff took all he owned in one suitcase and headed down to the coast in an old Fiat convertible.

He landed a job teaching windsurfing and water-skiing at a resort hotel. As fate would have it, a stage show was in production at the resort and Cliff was informed by one of the performers that the choreographer was looking for a gymnast. Cliff somehow knew that this was going to be the first step towards a career on stage. To cut a long story short, Cliff performed all over the world in various stage productions as a dancer/acrobat, culminating in his dream role as a principal performer at the world famous and iconic Moulin Rouge Theater, Paris in 1989.

On his return to South Africa, Cliff pursued his stage career. Whilst studying drama, Cliff secured himself a modelling agent and enjoyed much success in ramp, print and television commercials. Cliff received major recognition as a model in South Africa and was asked to enter The Mr South Africa talent and action man competition. On winning this competition in 1992, Cliff was offered an audition on a hugely successful television series, called Egoli – Place of Gold. After guest-starring on the show for 3 months, he was offered a permanent contract as a regular cast member in a lead role and would go on to become a household name for his 6-year run. After being personally affected and sick and tired of the violent crime in Johannesburg, he decided it was now or never and he immigrated to the USA with his wife, with the hope of having a better quality of life. This also gave him the opportunity to realize a long time dream of further pursuing his acting career in America.

Cliff soon landed a guest star role with Don Johnson on the hit TV series, ‘Nash Bridges’. A short time after that, he acquired the guest star recurring role of Ba’al on ‘Stargate SG1’. Cliff’s combination of charming bad guy charisma and wicked sense of humour made him a viewer favourite antagonist, keeping his character recurring for 5 seasons.

In 2007, Cliff was brought back to play Ba’al in the Stargate SG1 movie, ‘Continuum’, which was released in 2008. Cliff was nominated for BEST GUEST STAR at Best of TV Awards Canada 2014 for his role in ‘Castle’. Cliff has many upcoming projects and has guest-starred in many network TV series and films. His short film ‘The Long Dig’ is due for release in Aug 2018. He is penned for 2 huge upcoming projects ‘Almythea 2 Rise of the Astra’ and ‘Land of the Free’. His latest film release ‘Project Eden Vol 1′( Best Vision Award at the Boston Film Festival ) had a USA theatrical release in Jan 2018, and he is getting ready to shoot Vol 2 in 2018.

When Cliff is not working you will find him racing dolphins on his kiteboard off the beaches of Malibu or surfing a wave and leading a quiet life.
