Sometimes you have to lose to win again”...Fantasia Barrino
“You win some, you lose some” is a popular idiom that encourages one to maintain a positive and hopeful attitude in the midst of a devastating loss.The Super Bowl is an extremely popular sporting event in the United States that serves as the final game of every National Football League (NFL) season. Since 1967, the Superbowl has been played on various Sundays in either January or February, but in recent years it has been played on the second Sunday in February.

The Superbowl used to be known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game and was played in front of a half-empty Los Angeles Coliseum. However, these days, fans have created and/or indulged in many game-day celebrations to include: watch parties, tailgate parties, and of course the long time tradition of MVP players announcing that they are going to Disneyland or Disney World as part of a celebratory cavalcade!

But as is the case with most games and/or various life’s circumstances, there will be winners and losers, both of which are necessary in this dichotomous world that we live in which consists of other common dichotomies like:  rich versus poor, good versus evil, and life versus death.

As part of his 1963 Thanksgiving Speech following John F. Kennedy’s death, Lyndon B. Johnson said: “Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose”.
 
Indeed, there will be hardships and challenges in our lives. However, we can still choose to focus on and celebrate the things that we do have versus feeling sorry for or frustrated about the things that we don’t – because in the end, as Pope Benedict XVI once said,  “Everything in this world will pass away. In eternity only love will remain”.
On Morning Energy, we are going to spend time exploring the importance of “Celebrating The Wins” in our lives to include the fact that sometimes you have to lose in order to win.
Join me, Renna. on Friday from 4-6am for a very special musical journey about this very inspiring topic.  And if you miss the live program, you can always listen to the weekly program for up to 7 days on the archives at https://www.wmnf.org/events/morning-energy/.

I found out about WMNF through an outreach table that was set up at Sweet Water Organic Farm during my first visit there in 2012.

I had never really heard much about community radio stations at that time and became extremely intrigued as to why a radio station would have an interest in attending and/or hosting events in the community.

As I began to learn more from the Volunteer Coordinator at that time, I decided that the station would be a great fit for me in light of my background in communications and my ongoing interest in helping others.

One of my first volunteer assignments at WMNF was community outreach. I thought what better way to reach out to the community than in the same manner that I felt WMNF had reached out to me. After about a year of doing out reach service, I decided to try my hands at voicing promos/drops since I still had a passion for the arts. I also began helping out during the marathons.

Consequently, while volunteering during one of the marathons, I was asked by a former host to consider being one of their co-host because he liked my personality and the sound of my voice. I had never done formal radio work before, although I DID have a communication degree, however, my interest while attending college at that time was more towards television than radio. Nonetheless, I agreed. In addition to being a co-host on that show (The Damn Jams )(Hip-Hop) , other shows that I have co-hosted on while volunteering at WMNF are: Thee Righteous Temple of Hip Hop (Christian Hip Hop), The Early Bird Wake Up Show (Country), Blues With A Groove (Blues ), Mellow Music Encounters ( R& B and Blues) and Kingston 12 (Reggae). However, In February 2014,

I was thankfully given the opportunity to host and produce my own show.... MORNING ENERGY..... and it has truly been an AMAZING experience and journey for which I will always be thankful for!!!
