The BIG MOVE

So Doug and I are starting a new radio station! Our bosses at Woodward literally asked us to help launch a new station! The best part of this is that we get to work in the same building, and we have the same boss (Dayton Kane.) We literally will move from the KISS FM studio to the studio right next door! It is Eight Steps from my old chair to my new chair!

The thing is 95.9 KISS FM has been the best job Doug and I have EVER had! One time our boss asked us to write down Five things we love about our job and Five things we hate...I literally couldn't come up with one thing I didn't like about it. We LOVE KISS FM and always will!!!!! Eight years of a lot of great memories! The KISS FM listeners are so great! So fun and so supportive!

This new job is a huge adventure! It is never easy to start over! BUT the good news is it feels like so many listeners are excited about it! I have had people tell me we will help you get to number ONE! I love that! You guys know us too well! We are really sweet and nice people but we are very competitive!

I have been listening to KZ 104.3 online at home since it launched and I have to tell you I LOVE IT! The music is so much fun! I love that there isn't a station like it in this area. It is so upbeat and has TONS of energy! The music brings me back to some really fun times in my life! In fact I have been reconnecting with friends from High School like crazy! Thanks to Facebook! This good be good and bad...more on this when we get on the air! I feel a topic coming on!

I hope you will come along with us on this big adventure! Starting over is scary, change is hard, but in the end it is good to push yourself! It is good to step out on a limb where you are not comfortable at all! It helps you to see the world in a different light! Makes you think and that is a GOOD THING!

Here is to 2013 with a new big adventure! Can't wait to see what we can do with this new radio station!

I graduated from Newtown High School...a friend from there wrote this:

Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38 when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate. Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air. They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there. They were filled with such joy; they didn't know what to say. They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day. “where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mous

e. “This is heaven" declared a small boy. "We’re spending Christmas at God's house”. When what to their wondering eyes did appear, but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near. He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same. Then He opened His arms and He called them by name. And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring those children all flew into the arms of their King and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace, one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face. And as if He could read all the questions she had He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad. “then He looked down on earth, the world far below He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe, then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand, “Let My power and presence re-enter this land! “May this country be delivered from the hands of fools” “I’m taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools! “Then He and the children stood up without a sound. “Come now my children let me show you around. “Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran. All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can. And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight, “in the midst of this darkness,” I AM STILL THE LIGHT."
