Re-invent and Enhance Yourself!

I was blessed to speak along with some other inspirational speakers at Union Baptist Church in Macon, Ga. recently. I spoke to single women and inspired them to re-invent and to enhance themselves...
What did I mean by that? 
I knew that there were many of them that desired to be married-to find a godly mate to share their lives with. I took a moment to share with them about my own personal quest to be married as well. I encouraged them to embrace their season of singleness- to trust the Lord to bring the right person into their lives-and to trust Him to know that He knows the right time to bring the mate to them.
I encouraged them to re-invent and to enhance themselves while they were waiting for their mate to come into their lives.
How would they do it?
I encouraged them to take an inventory of their lives and to use their gifts, talents,and abilities to do new things in their lives. If they loved to sing, they could enhance that skill by taking more voice lessons. If they played piano, they could go to locations and perform, or even teach others that skill.
This speaking engagement opened up the door for more opportunities for me to encourage and inspire others. This form of communication gives me the greatest sense of joy, as it allows me to use the skills of verbal communication and also non-verbal communication, when I expressed some points by hand gestures, and even with facial expressions.
Communication is the key to express your thoughts, whether it be in a personal or business setting.

A Beautiful You Tube Video!

I was blessed a couple of years ago to have copies of my book, Stone the Builders Rejected sent to some precious young ladies in South Africa. The volunteer (Sally) read a copy of a letter that I also sent to the young women. Take a look at it. It will truly bless you...

The Newspaper As a Form of Media

According to the online article, The History of Mass Media in America, the newspaper is the oldest form of media. As the internet is used more and more as a quicker choice to obtain information, the use of newspapers have begun to decline. I have personally seen the aftereffects of the decline of the newspaper in my own family. My brother in law lost his job at the newspaper company that he was employed at for almost 20 years. He lost his job because the number of people that subscribed to the newspaper had declined so much until they could no longer keep the same number of employees on the payroll. He was forced to either relocate to another branch of the company which was almost 100 miles away- or to look for work elsewhere. After a year of joblessness, he has finally found work.

Despite the decline in those that subscribe to newspapers, they are very helpful in providing interesting information in the way of commentaries and opinions that are available to be read by the general public. I have found newspapers to be helpful when I have been interviewed by a reporter. The information helps to spread information to the general public and allows someone to save the information to read it at another time. I have even cut out interviews to be scanned and used for my own media kit in some cases.

I hope that newspapers will continue to be a form of media that is used in the near future. It has a lot to offer for consumers in the way of coupons, car purchase inserts, sports inserts, and everyday living inserts that can be read in the comfort of the home and whenever an individual chooses to read it.

Radio As a Form of Social Media

Radio is a form of media that contains such forms as radio commentaries, talk shows, music station programming, and music programs that are local and national. Radio is a form of media that has been in existence for many years, and is helpful because it is able to give information to the public quickly for people who may be at home, in their cars, or at other public events.

According to the online article, The History of Mass Media in America, it states that:

“After the developed of the technology behind radio it became the fast growing and used technology in the United States. Almost every home in America had a radio in their living room. It became a focal point to family life. In fact radio was like television is today. Soap operas, story hours, sitcoms, and commercials played during prime time entertaining American families and creating a windfall of commercial revenue for advertisers and stations.”

You will often hear special guests being interviewed on radio programs. The guests are able to be interviewed and the listeners are able to hear the interview without having to travel to where the guest is having the interview. Radio is helpful because they can re-air some of their programming, whether it is an old interview or even an older concert that has been aired previously.

I have used radio on several occasions on behalf of the choral group that I was once the president of. During the interview, I was able to discuss the group and to give upcoming concert dates. I was also able to have the interviewer play some of the choral group’s music to be heard by the listeners. Radio is also helpful, as in the case of Public Broadcasting Radio, that will air concerts live from time to time.

Television has been an important form of media in regards to news programs that air events that are essential to the general public, such as terroristic news alerts, special reports and bulletins, weather bulletins, and the like.
