The Intentioned Show - Andrea, Diva of the Day

In honor of the upcoming King holiday I thought it would be a good idea to think about what action verb stands behind liberation.  For me, that word is "Intentioned" it's a strong, honest, action oriented word that I hope today's show brought to your in many ways.

In the parlor today we had with us Nila Kay a wonderfully talented and humble singer, songwriter, musician, and Mom ( I found out on air).  The music that you heard today hopefully took you on a personal journey that led you to question, seek, explore, and know your own ideas surrounding being "Intentioned".

Nila Kay can be seen below

Tis the Season with Diva Kimberly C. Gaines

... Joy, love, generosity, respect, happiness, caring... there are  certainly more words to describe the season and New Year. Let's continue to add them to the list! The holiday hustle and bustle have worn me thin. The spirit in the season is missing. Normally, this is the time of year where the energy of giving is magnified but it is just the opposite. The giving of gifts does not constitute the "holiday spirit". I hope this show was a reminder of those values that are more beneficial for our society. Rekindle the true spirit of giving!
Hope you enjoyed the tunes... Support independent and local artists!
