The year was 1982...and I was with a few friends over a DJ's house when he was previewing new music. He pulled out the Debarge record, "I Like It" and we were all in El's trance. We wondered like everyone else...is that Switch? Nope...after looking on the back-cover of the album. It was Bobby and Tommy DeBarge's younger siblings. We listened over and over again until we all knew the words and could sing along. Not noticing the time...it was two hours later and past my curfew. Needless to say, the week on punishment was well worth it. I sang, "I Like It," ...
Feel Good: Are You a Bionic Woman?
Remember the 70's TV show The Bionic Woman? I use to love that show. Watching a smart, savvy and strong woman take on the bad guys and win was awesome.

Maybe next year……
Thanks to everyone for all your votes! The nomination process was a great experience. I am humbled by your support! You all are amazing!!!!!!!!!! However, I wasn’t chosen as a semi-finalist in this year’s “Women of Radio Search.” With my transition from Miami to Cleveland the same week…God knew it was best for me to focus on my family. So I will be packing the up truck and driving cross country. With a stop to my favorite magical place on the way. (*hugh smile) I’ll miss you Miami and will never forget my wonderful 9 years in paradise.
Do you remember being that young sister who yearned for control and independence? In 1986 when Janet Jackson came out with the song “Control” it was our theme song. I’m all grown up, ready and ABLE to take on the world. Responsibility, relationships, school, work, family…I GOT IT. At that age it appeared so easy to be our “own woman.” Read the rest of this entry »

Rest day…please! I’m pulling out the Wii Fit Plus and doing 30 minutes of cardio! Have you check out Wii Fit Plus? There is NO excuse for NOT workout with your own (in-home) fitness program. Instead of turning on the TV to watch your favorite show, turn on your Wii and get in a workout. Choose from yoga, strength training, cardio and balance games. You will love it. Even if it’s a rainy cold day…you can still get your workout on. Check out the demo.
Today I’m really not feeling like working out. I want to go home after work and crawl in the bed. But…that’s not going to get me anywhere. Time to pull up my bootstraps and get moving. Are you gonna GET UP?
