The ART of Living Life!

Thank you for tuning into the programming here at the Voice of Change. Today's program will be about the ART of LIVING LIFE. And I do believe it is an ART. And even more importantly at this time is to realize it truly is an ART, which we have the capacity to manage. Distractions are coming at us from every side. If we do not take control of where we put our attention, we may be pulled in many diverse directions. Let's explore the ART of LIVING LIFE today from the perspective of the Human Powers we have. Some of these powers are the Power of focus, attention, choice and intention. How do these work together to create one's life? Would you like to have a greater enjoyment in life? a greater fulfillment? a greater satisfaction? The choice is yours. This doesn't mean that we aren't going to have difficulty and happening that devast us. But it does mean that we have the strength, courage and power to be with what is happening and walk through such times, as we learn more about the ART of living. I chose to use flowers as the pictures for this program. Life is like a flower unfolding day by day. And just like a flower, life is beautiful in all of its stages of unfoldment. Tune in! Call in!

Values: How Do I Live? How Do I Parent?

Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and The Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and welcome you to the Week-end Edition of the Voice of Change, focusing on the Art of Purposeful and Peaceful Parenting. Is it not amazing that we are taught about the ABC's (reading, writing and arithmetic) as they say in the 1940's tune, "School Days" but seldom are we given instruction on how to live. In addition, we are not taught about one of the most important areas of life and that is PARENTING! So, often when we come into parenthood, we have to play catchup, having to self-reflect on the values important to us and then bring those to our children. No wonder that parenting can be challenging at times. SO, I suggest we start at the beginning. "A very good place to start", as the song "Do Re Mi" says! I invite you to ask yourself the following questions: What are the life values I want to live by? What are the values I want to pass on to my children? What are the values I was raised with as a child? These three questions are the umbrellas under which we can truly begin to look at the way we parent. In the late 1980's, I was introduced to the Jefferson Center and took a week-end seminar from them on Character Development and brought that back to present to the private school where I was a teacher. The program was a huge success. As I recall character traits such as Kindness, Honesty and Forgiveness with part of the curriculum. I'll put some common values in the BLOG at my website for your reference. And again, remember to acknowledge yourself first for what is already working in your life. It's SO important to start there...and then shift if you wish. This will be the conversation today. Join us!

The Cry from Mother Earth to Wake Up & the Part YOU have to Play!

Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is to talk about the WAKE UP call we are receiving from Mother Earth! Although many perceive what is happening today on the planet, as a great adversity, is that all it is? Is there a deeper significance that is behind the surface challenges, the inconveniences and all the pain. What brought us to this point on the planet? If we listen, and look at all that is taking place on the planet with NEW EYES, we might see all that has led us to this moment in time. Each of us can hear the WAKE UP call or not. Each of us can play our part or not. The choice is YOURS and MINE, day by day and moment by moment. Tune in! Call in! We'd love for you to add to the conversation.

Here is today’s radio show.  Enjoy!  Would love to here from you. www.blogtalkradio.com/voiceofchange

The Gift of Playing the Piano

Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm beginning a new series of shows about the JOY of music and specially the benefits of playing an instrument, especially the PIANO. I've had the pleasure of playing for decades and actually have taught piano to children and adults for 50 years. Every lesson is such a joy. Many are called to learn the piano "just because." That is wonderful. And at the same time, there are so many benefits from playing piano. Tune in and learn the hidden reasons to play the piano...as well as the JOY of teaching piano. Especially in the world today, we need an outlet for our feelings at times. Playing the piano can be relaxing, enjoyable and a way of bringing us back to ourself. Also, I'll be sharing with you a secret way of playing the piano....without reading music. It's such FUN! Sharon Ann Wikoff has had the JOY of teaching piano for over 50 years. She continues to teach in the Reno area of NV and offers workshops online for piano teachers and those who would like to be a piano teacher.
