Hey there! Know what? We create our own forward momentum by keeping promises to ourselves. When we come through for ourselves, even in small things, we acknowledge our importance to ourselves. This becomes our energy source to help us move the needle even more.

Think of your mood as a radio dial. The thoughts you feed yourself are what change the station. Unhealthy thoughts slide your dial to static and confusion. You’re overloaded and get only every other word of who you should be. Healthy, positive thoughts slide your frequency to the clearest signal, where the true you can shine like a megawatt powerhouse.
Okay, might be a silly little metaphor, but being in radio, how could we resist? Hope this helps you visualize how what you feed yourself has a direct outcome on your frequency and vibes you broadcast to others! And only good vibes coming your way this weekend with these guests:
Rocker Al Pitrelli of Trans-Siberian Orchestra (Mid-America Center Nov. 13th - tix on sale now); New York Times Bestselling author Karin Slaughter (new novel, The Last Widow); Storm chaser Josh Morgerman with Science Channel’s new series “Hurricane Man” starting this Sunday
