V on WZEZ 100.5

So, this morning Alexa and I participated in an interview with Mark of "Mark in the Morning" at our partner radio station WZEZ 100.5. What an adventure! Neither of us had ever done a radio interview, so we thank the staff for helping us get comfortable. I'm still chuckling at the thought of Bette Anne Steele's one-liners that helped put us at ease.

Our interview highlighted this month's focus in V Magazine for Women - self-improvement! Kudos to our editor, Annie, for her decision to highlight such a wide variety of areas that help enrich our lives. Whether it's taking a new approach to physical fitness, improving the look and feel of your home, building on parenting skills, or learning how money affects our happiness, Alexa and I had plenty to talk about. At one point, though, Mark stumped us when he asked how Virginia women differ from other women around the country. My reaction? None of us at V are experts on women - that's why we are always asking for your ideas, opinions, and feedback! We try never to make assumptions about who you are or what you want. Our readers are the driving force behind what we do! It was a tough question, but we're glad he asked! It certainly got us thinking.

Thanks again to Bette Anne Steele for helping to arrange our interview today. Be sure to tune in to her 2-minute segment entitled "Senior Moment with Bette Anne" that airs 5 times daily Monday through Friday, where you'll hear about everything from advice about weight loss or navigating the healthcare system to encouraging seniors to keep a gratitude journal and venture into the world of computers!
