My Adoption Story....and Yours?

Adoption. Another seven word people are gun shy to talk about. But in recent time, more people are aware that adoption is a serious thing, and can bring positive changes to a persons life. Adoption can also cause deeper anxiety, life questions, and wonder. This week, a Mother's Day episode, I will jump into the topic of adoption. I am an adopted child, so I will share with you my insight. But I will also talk with people looking to adopt, people who have adopted, adopted children. By being adopted or adopting someone you stop an even bigger situation from happening and that is abortion. I strongly encourage you to tune in this week and be a part of a movement.

Why Music Changes Us

Music plays a pivotal part in our everyday lives. For some people, music has changed us for the better. For others music has saved and resurrected their lives. We all have experienced highs and lows. As a musician, he/she can turn to music and make turn their negative experiences and turn the into positives. This week will be a special 90 minute show that will feature an in-depth interview with musician Mary Magdalan, who has turned a hard life into an amazing story. You do not want to miss her story! I will then talk with Matt Hartke who is a rising star. His music and style are making waves in the industry. He has opened for national acts and soon will be a force to reckon with. I will also talk with Matt Cusson, winner of the John Lennon songwriting competition, in the jazz division. Music plays a large role in our lives. We will hear from just a few people on how it impacts their lives and hear new music from the artists.

The Word Cancer

Cancer. Let that work ring out for a second. Even say it out loud. Sounds like you are swearing. Cancer is also a hard word to associate yourself with, because it is such an intense disease. Whether you have cancer, know someone that has cancer, lost someone who had cancer, it is important to really know the ins and outs of the disease. We as individuals have the ability to take care of ourselves. It should start now. We can all make a difference. All it takes is one, and I will be the first to stand up and help those. This weeks show will educate, inform, open your eyes and push the button and the envelope on this topic. This week I will talk with Mia Perovetz who wrote the Off-Broadway Play "THE THINGS I WISH MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE TOLD ME" that premiered last fall in NYC. Mia lost her Mother to cancer. We will talk about the meaning behind the play, the inspiration and the transformation. Also I will talk with Beau Hodges, who has a life changing story to tell about a young boy named Brandon Rayner who died at 10 years old from Brain cancer and leukemia. What transpired in Brandons last months, and even through out his life, to what came out of his passing, is a story you CANNOT miss. It is empowering, passionate, and will open your heart. Cancer. Not an easy word. A much harder disease. Lets talk about how to beat it!
