For one brief moment
let us stop biting
the double-barbed hook
of division;
let us stop posturing
blue against red,
brown against white,
north against south,
woman against man.

For one brief moment,
let us suspend
our opinions,
take off the masks
of our race,
faith,
politics,
philosophy,
culture,
color,
age,
and gender.

For just this moment
let us set aside
our grievances,
set down our pride,
our flags,
and our weapons.

Let us unclench our fists
and unfurl our brows,
let us govern the light
of our own spirit
and shine it
here. 

Let us retract
the pointed finger
of blame
and cease to entertain
notions of “us and them.”

Temporarily,
let us place on pause
our ambitious pursuit
of position and influence.

And for one
fleeting instant in time
— right now —
let us simply stand
together
and hear the pulse
of our shared humanity,
the sound
of eight billion 
non-partisan hearts
beating in unison.

Together, as One!

Laughter has no life.

Laughter has no life . I’m fine . – . If anyone can correct it, it is him I must say I am fine.

Wherever I am, however I am I must say I am fine.

You know I’m alive Just don’t know! Life is not about living. Wherever I am, however I am I must say I am fine.

You know I’m still smiling Just don’t know! Laughter has no life. Wherever I am, however I am I must say I am fine.

You know I sing Just don’t know! There is no pulse in that song. Wherever I am, however I am I must say I am fine.

You know I’m happy Just don’t know! Suffering comes in the way of happiness. Wherever I am, however I am I must say I am fine.

You know I forgot you Just don’t know! All desires have died. Wherever I am, however I am I must say I am fine. .

Freedom:


Freedom: one day, I asked the sky! Well, what do you do when you are sad? The sky said, let it rain. suddenly at noon, I asked the sun! Well, what do you do when you are sad? Sun said, lower the heat. midnight, I asked the moon! Well, what do you do when you are sad? The moon said, drown in the dark clouds. Today, I asked them! Well, what do you do when you are sad? They said in a haughty voice, stop the flickering. Finally, I asked myself! Well, what do I do when I’m sad? I got the reply, ‘Write about you. .

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sara Troy.

Sara, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin? 
I’ve been podcasting for 12 years in April and produced my own Self-Discovery Wisdom network for 11 years in June. My journey is rooted in the belief of staying true to one’s soul. I’ve been fortunate to gather insights from remarkable people worldwide, sharing stories that resonate and inspire. These narratives aren’t just stories; they’re beacons of hope and inspiration, guiding us toward solving our unique life puzzles. At Self Discovery Wisdom, we use the power of conversation to encourage you to take the reins of your life. 

Back in 2001, I launched “The Art of Positive Living,” dedicating over two decades to teaching about personal identity and soul growth, leveraging my 48 years of life wisdom. My role as a spiritual counselor is to unveil your life’s potential and provide a roadmap to your destiny, though the journey is yours to embark on. My drive is to help people fully embrace their true selves, understanding our choices, resilience, and courage, and navigating our purpose and service without losing ourselves. 

My pivotal moment came in April 2012 when I discovered my calling. I started hosting a talk show on a small station, which led to the creation of my own platform, PLV Radio, now known as Self-Discovery Wisdom. Over the years, I’ve interviewed over 3,500 inspiring guests, fueling my passion for connecting listeners with uplifting stories. 

Eager to extend this network of inspiration, I initiated the Orchard Mentors program, offering a platform for mentors to share their knowledge and services. This initiative and the Fund-Action program aim to support individuals financially and emotionally, helping them regain their independence. 

In 2024, we launched a book called Our Forgotten Children, with 15 authors speaking on what needs to change in raising our children and supporting families. We reached Amazon’s International Best Seller list, and I am very proud of this book, which is number 1 in the series. The next one will be Coaching Your Self Discovery in life, wellness, business, and joy. 

Self-Discovery and our Orchard of Wisdom invite those who wish to join us as mentors and authors, sharing their light and expertise. 

As a mother of three and grandmother to three, I’m proud to see my family finding their paths. My life has been a tapestry of experiences – from restaurateur to DJ, model, spiritual counselor, and more – all enriching my podcasting journey experience and skills. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There have been many struggles along the way: health issues, mental challenges, divorce, poverty, and homelessness. 

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a professional Podcaster and Pod-book developer. With over 2700 shows personally under my belt, I have developed a style that puts people at ease and allows them to enjoy the conversation on our shows. I am a seerer and see the possibilities that lay in people and situations, I am very proud of my work; I know that sharing people’s wisdom, skills, and passions has made an incredible difference in the lives of others, and that is why I do what I do. 

I treat everyone with respect, kindness, love and intrigue. I am known for my heart and passion for raising energies and coming from a place of loving vibrations. I am a supporter. 

Are there any books, apps, podcasts, or blogs that help you do your best?
I read my guest’s books, I love Sam Hawksmoor’s books, and I love mystical books as they always reveal truths in reality. I need music to soothe me and keep me balanced. I network a lot, and each person who I interview is a resource. 

Pricing:

  • $35.00 to do a podcast, shows done via donations starting at 35 donation starting at that point.
  • To be a part of a book prices to come

SOUL AWARENESS


In my teachings of soul awareness, I find that it is when you teach the woman to embrace her divine womanhood we end up teaching the world what a gift a woman is. I do not want to be a man to own my equality, I do not want to think like a man to be heard. I am a woman with a broad spectrum of understanding that needs that balance of woman and man.

When we stop apologizing for thinking, feeling, and living like a woman, we may give men a chance to know us in our own strength, in our own empowerment, and know what positive energies we bring to the whole. Women, you want to teach your sons how to respect and value women. Start by respecting and loving yourself. Women, you want to be seen in all your feminine light; step into the glorious light of womanhood. A man will treat you in the value you give yourself, in the truth of your soul, in the purpose of your spirit. So stand tall, a woman of the world, and be the wonderful feminine being you are, and live in that embracement of inner love for all to see.

Friendship is trust, honesty, and pure love.

TOUCHING STORY about a one eyed Mother

(An old story but always inspires me)

My mom only had one eye. I hated

her… She was such an

embarrassment. She cooked for

students and teachers to support the

family.

There was this one day during

elementary school where my mom

came to say hello to me. I was so

embarrassed.

How could she do this to me? I

ignored her, threw her a hateful look

and ran out. The next day at school

one of my classmates said, ‘EEEE, your

mom only has one eye!’

I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted

my mom to just disappear. I

confronted her that day and said, “If

you’re only gonna make me a

laughing stock, why don’t you just

die?”

My mom did not respond… I didn’t

even stop to think for a second about

what I had said, because I was full of

anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.

I wanted out of that house, and have

nothing to do with her. So I studied

real hard, got a chance to go abroad

to study.

Then, I got married. I bought a house

of my own. I had kids of my own. I

was happy with my life, my kids and

the comforts. Then one day, my

Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t

seen me in years and she didn’t even

meet her grandchildren.

When she stood by the door,

my children laughed at her, and I yelled at

her for coming over uninvited. I

screamed at her, “How dare you come

to my house and scare my children!

GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!”

And to this, my mother quietly

answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may

have gotten the wrong address,” and

she disappeared out of sight.

One day, a letter regarding a school

reunion came to my house. So I lied

to my wife that I was going on a

business trip. After the reunion, I

went to the old shack just out of

curiosity.

My neighbors said that she died. I did

not shed a single tear. They handed

me a letter that she had wanted me to

have.

“My dearest son,

I think of you all the time. I’m sorry

that I came to your house and scared

your children.

I was so glad when I heard you were

coming for the reunion. But I may not

be able to even get out of bed to see

you. I’m sorry that I was a constant

embarrassment to you when you were

growing up.

You see……..when you were very little,

you got into an accident, and lost your

eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand

watching you having to grow up with

one eye. So I gave you mine.

I was so proud of my son who was

seeing a whole new world for me, in

my place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,

Your mother.”

the son got into tears, but it was too late.

MORAL LESSON:

Never neglect your MUM, Because she is a blessing.

One day YOU will cry when she will be gone.

Hit LIKE if you love your Mum.

Comment her Name if you are proud of YOUR MUM

OUR POSCAST GENRE’S


They call us “The Elderly”


We were born in the 40-50-60’s.

We grew up in the 50-60-70’s.

We studied in the 60-70-80’s.

We were dating in the 70-80-90’s.

We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90’s.

We venture into the 80-90’s.

We stabilize in the 2000’s.

We got wiser in the 2010’s.

And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.

Turns out we’ve lived through EIGHT different decades…

TWO different centuries…

TWO different millennia…

We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.

We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.

From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.

We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.

We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.

We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.

We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.

We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.

Yes, we’ve been through a lot but what a great life we’ve had!

They could describe us as “exennials,” people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.

We’ve kind of “Seen-It-All”!

Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.

It is our generation that has literally adapted to “CHANGE.”

A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!
