POPULARITY
I had a chat with Joyce back in Oct 2021 she was well into her nineties it was a pleasure to have a yarn with her. From starting her teaching career at Woods primary school traveling the 12 miles from Balaklava on an a BSA auto cycle and teaching my father Brian Parker along with a few other local notables , with about a 12 students in the scrub, to marrying local Salter Springs farmer Des Ross. Resuming her teaching career later on, and even teaching me . Her father served in the camel core in WW1 so we are going way back in time with this one. A lovely lady who sadly passed away last month. Vale. I hope you enjoy this bit of time travel! Cheers Parks
"It's Our Time" is a book that grew out of a public slur against African Nova Scotians who live in a cluster of communities known as The Preston Township. That insult made Rev. Dr. Joyce Ross resolve to publicise the deeper story of resilient Black men and women who fled slavery and wars in the U.S. and Jamaica, and then overcame more obstacles in their new country. While Wanda Taylor researched and wrote the book, she suggested that host Costas Halavrezos interview the inspiration for the book - Rev. Dr. Ross.
Joyce Ross, author, editor, and keynote speaker is a co-founder of Kindness Is Key, Training and Publishing Inc., the home of Heartmind Wisdom Inspirational Anthology Collection. Joyce is a recovering gambling addict who lost over $300,000, her home, and her self-respect. Her story is compelling and revealing as she offers help to those who may have a similar problem -- or know someone who does. In her interview, Joyce shares not only the indicators to determine that there could be a problem but also some solutions. Joyce states that "Gambling is a global problem. Depending on the country it can range from 1 in 500 people in Norway to as high as 1 in 20 people in Hong Kong. In Canada, the United States, and Australia, one percent of the population are considered to be pathological gamblers and one to two percent as problem gamblers." In Heartmind Wisdom #3, Joyce discusses "Taming Shame and Blame," which are two natural human responses that are hope robbers. Different from other types of addicts, gambling addiction is a result of chemical changes in the brain, and can be physiologically out of control. Dopamine is the feel-good body chemical that creates the high most addicts seek and the same high a gambler feels when they have a big win. As time passes, the addict craves the 'higher' high or a bigger win. Words to live by: If you never try it, you can never become addicted to it! Don't GIVE AWAY CONTROL. In her interview, Joy explains the NECESSITY to "Be Kind to Yourself." Stop beating yourself up. Get back on the Hope track. She shares numerous helpful tips for anyone with any type of addiction.
