We all know that music is the universal language. With that said, all of us have our favorite song, or in a lot of our cases…songs. We have a song for each one of our moods. I have a song that ‘picks me up’, if you will. This is such a great song on so many levels. It’s Troop’s “Spread My Wings”. The lyrics are so positive, the tempo is nice and upbeat, and when the video came out, we saw that the group could REALLY dance! So when I’m feelin’ a little out of sorts, just ONE of the songs I put on is “Spread My Wings”, because NOBODY is going to keep me from doing just that. Check it out….

Now that the leftovers of the Thanksgiving meal are starting to kick in, and it’s literally ‘off to the races’ to see who can be the first in line outside as well as inside to take advantage of all the Black Friday shopping deals…one area I TOTALLY avoid..no offense to anyone who considers this the “fun” part of the holidays! But what do you consider the hardest part of the holiday season…the clean-up of all family, friends, church family, etc., who enjoyed, no doubt, several servings of food, and left behind the dishes that will need to be cleaned, or trying to wake up at the crack of ‘dark’ to be those first brave souls to travel to the malls, shopping centers, and retail stores to get that ideal holiday gift that’s been marked down ridiculously low, so once you return home, you’ll keep telling yourself…it REALLY was worth the trip! Here’s to the holidays!!!

Just about every day I have the blessed opportunity to thank you-  QMG family for your love and loyal support of this radio station, but today I want to especially during this Thanksgiving holiday to show my love and appreciation of YOU with this blog of thanks..thanks for continued prayers as this will be the second Thanksgiving without my beloved Grandmother- who passed away in April of 2008, but I’m ALSO so blessed to still have family and friends(like yourselves) to spend the holidays with, to partake in good food and even greater company! So if we don’t have an opportunity to speak to one another in person and in love, let me take this blessed moment to wish you and your entire family a WONDERFUL AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I am TRULY thank-full that there are sooo many wonderful people in our communities who still believe that despite all of life’s difficulties and hardships, we still will find a way to keep pressing on, and that is what I’m thankful for during this holday season!!

I’m REALLY rooting for her! You be the judge….

Did you put ALL your summer clothes away yet?!? Well with a nice day…for today(anyway), and pretty okay tomorrow…Sunday is looking to be very wet and quite cold..how are you ‘adjusting’ your wardrobe to fit this unsettling weather pattern we seem to be going through. And yeah it’s time to get into the holday spirit as the weather is getting colder..but a few more warm days couldn’t hurt either:)

If your like me and can’t sleep at night you’ve seen the commercials for the pills that INCREASE your size and stamina? There’s a market for it but is the pressure coming from women? So ladies does it still come down to size or is it stamina, frequency or what? What makes a good lover?

Here we are again during the holiday season, and so many of us are preparing to welcome family and friends and of course partake of the delicious smells of food that will soon grace our tables. But given a tough economy and so many of us cutting back on expenses, just how will you make those plans to prepare what you hopefully will still be the ‘perfect’ Thanksgiving feast or are you preparing to make some alternate cooking plans..like perhaps encouraging other family members to contribute to the holiday menu..if you’re so bold..by bringing a dish of their own. In closing IS IT REALLY ALL ABOUT THE PERFECT FEAST or are you TRULY THANKFUL to be able to simply celebrate the ideal little things in life, such as just spending ‘quality’ family time?!

In a society where it seems we’re working LONGER hours, and in some cases making less money, and by the grace of God, trying to hold on to our jobs, do you really find yourself working right through your weekends, where not to long ago, they were the ’special days’ to spend quality time for not only self, but with friends and other family members…a time for that ‘me time’, where you could focus on things that totally separated you from the hustle and bustle of the work week. Now with a continued struggling economy and for ALOT of us, it’s become a full-time job just trying to find a job, due to massive lay-offs!! But if you are still able to call the weekends your own..could you PLEASE on your relaxtion secrets to the rest of us:)

President Barack Obama will meet with his national security team today, and you can bet the topic will be the President’s options for realigning U.S. strategy. And Military officials say the choices involve several ways the President can employ additional U.S. forces next year. The TJMS spoke with Retired Joint Cheifs of Staff Colin Powell, and when asked what option should the President take, his answer was for him to consider ALL options and NOT be rushed by anyone to make a decision that could be costly not only to the United States but of course to all the Men and Women who are fighting along enemy lines…do you believe additional troops will be sent?

Today we honor and remember the service and sacrifice of our Military Men and Women who are serving either here on American soil or far away places, serving tour after tour, so that people like myself have the freedom and the ability to live the life where it is only just a beginning to say ‘thank you’ to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice…PLEASE take an opportunity during the day to let someone who is serving know that he or she is greatly appreciated for protecting not only our country, but our very freedoms that make us the unique individuals that we are.
