Dig Out, Relax or Throw Snow Balls!

So... last night the power was out... people were stuck in their cars and buses stopped in their tracks. Now it is either time to dig out, relax... or for some throw snowballs. Whatever you did hopefully this show was your motivation to do it.
I enjoyed being your Diva of the day... Kimberly C. Gaines until next time.

Though I had a few technical difficulties, this was a really great show. I was truly thankful for those folks that called in with their comments, observations and personal stories about "growing up girl"! Thank you! Remember before you shake your head or look down your nose a our young people remember we were that age once. The issues now may be a little bit tougher than what we dealt with (in some cases) but we have all been young. Keep that in mind and encourage rather than condemn. Thanks for listening!
