I have about 84 pages of unanswered messages on this MySpace account. Maybe 23 or 24 pages of messages in Chocolate Brides.Com and 48 messages in the ChocolateBrides Magazine account. And that's just MySpace. I won't begin to talk about how many e-mails or voicemail messages I have. There was a time where I would honestly try to answer all messages...but I think it's safe to say that it's impossible. Just know that a sista aint ignoring you. I'm just a little overwhelmed. I apologize.
There are some people who are lucky enough to remain in radio for 15-20 years. Others aren't so lucky. With the way things are now, I can't sit here and say that I wouldn't be surprised if I were fired tomorrow. Not because I'm not a good employee or because I'm not a decent radio personality....but because that's just the politics of radio.
Because of the uncertainity that I feel about my personal job stability - - -I am more determined that ever to make sure that if the rug IS pulled under my feet - - that I'll be alright. Pray for the best...but prepare for the worst. I was to encourage you to do the same. Make sure your life insurance is in order. Be sure to always have that spare tire in the trunk. Never stop networking.
In other news, let me be the one to let you know that PRAYER CHANGES THINGS. My grandmother had a massive stroke last Friday and the doctor tried to prepare us for her death. I asked my prayer warriors to ask God for her healing...and it is NO coincidence that she is getting better every day. Last Friday she was on a respirator but today she doesn't even need oxygen. Last Friday, she was paralyzed on her right side but last night they had to restrain her because she is trying to get out of bed. I'm hoping that her recovery process will continue. I'm not sure if she recognizes me or if she even knows what's going on...but I am optimistic, and I am faithful. Thank you for your prayers. (especially YOU, Bliss) Please don't stop praying!
