    Thanksgiving can be conflicting to many of us, but one this is true-Let us give thanks. Thanks that we have made it to yet another day. Thanks that although it may be difficult times, we can stand by each other a get through. Sumatra is off the air today, because we are supporting our community by helping to feed those who are less advantaged. I cannot sit while others don't have a place to lay-down, or a meal to eat. So, this day, I give-up my meal and serve it with others. Sumatra listeners, do the same. Share your love, your blessings to with others and we'll see you next week.

    We struggle with imagery production at all ages. From the images we see in media, to our own relationship to self. But, sistas are lovin themselves and doin it for themselves more and more. Today's guest will address workin it out from fitness to make-up. Special guest Pam Kennebrew, The Fifties Coach is owner at Kennebrew Integrated Success Seminars/Fit For Fifty, Philadelphia, PA. While others approach 50 with trepidation and regret, Pamela decided to turn a ‘mid-life crisis’ into a transition that would change the rest of her life. Kennebrew said that she decided to leverage all the experiences of the past 50 years, both good in bad, and use them as a foundation for the next 50 year. Believing that we are triune beings, Kennebrew states that "we are Spirit, we live in a body and we possess a soul." She also believes that in order to be truly successful all these areas must be in alignment. In the stages of life prior to age 50, we have a tendency to focus on one particular area more than the other. The maturing process is about gaining a balance in those areas. Fifty, or the beginning of ‘mid-life’ is the time to bring all those things together, not just to regret the past, but to see how you can benefit others. When we look at ourselves we can get caught up in what might have been, but when we turn outwardly and get the focus off ourselves we see those years as valuable assets that can be converted to cash or whatever else we may need. Make-up artist guest, Cheryl Shorter, is also a Blog Talk Host of The Beauty Talk Show. Shorter will give us tips on how to make black skin look even more beautiful. Director of Artistry Training & Development @ Mineral Essence, LA.
