Hello, I was just thinking about how digital media has allowed us all to channel our style and share information.
Here is the show that started it all for me three years ago in Janet’s attic,‘Real Talk’ with Janet & Karen, your entertainment/lifestyle/health/motivational mommy moment web-series starring two ladies reinventing one moment at a time.
Let me know your thoughts.

Your Health Mate…Having a Partner to Help You in Getting Healthy
Guest Post by Donna McElroy
Sometimes an unexpected diagnosis or a questionable test result may lead one to question their choice of doctor, or even health insurance provider for that matter.
So many of the illnesses we hear of that are affecting our loved ones are chronic conditions that are likely manageable, with strict adherence to a prescribed drug regiment, but not curable; or require additional testing, as well as potentially significant financial commitments and time to meet with additional health professionals. This type of news makes it very easy for anyone to become completely overwhelmed just thinking of the possibilities and outcomes, as well as totally stressed out with trying to understand how to get better while maintaining a lifestyle that isn’t upset too much by this new challenge.

I love an inspiring story.

Mark Jenkins, Celebrity Trainer
More and more I see everyone wanting to turn back the aging process with cosmetic enhancement and not hard work.
Recently, I read an article and saw a video I did with celebrity trainer Mark Jenkins talking about how if you simply add a 30 minutes workout to your day you are adding years to your life AND lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and easing stress. Sounds good to me!
Some people who also have a passion for health look into an accredited online degree in nursing via Guide to Online Schools.
I am taking to task everything I write and walk the walk and that means working out at least 3x a week; not eating after 7pm; and, reducing the wine consumption to ONLY 2x a week. Why?
I want to be here to bask and enjoy all that is earned and promised to me from God by being my best (not perfection).

Kimberly Garrison, BNM Health/Wellness Contributor
As we prepare to usher in fall, the season of reinvention, we are focusing many upcoming blogs on taking back our mind, heart and soul.
Although, my abs are not flat, it’s much smaller than it was six months ago and I did wear a sexy bathing suit this summer. Let’s take one step each day to simply feel and look better — we deserve it!
Here are some real tips from the Kimberly Garrison, TBNM Health/Wellness contributor:
Everyone wants to know how to get a tight sexy mid-section. Well, I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is it’s never to late. If you start and stick with a comprehensive program you can see a ripple or two or at least lose a few inches in your mid-section in 6 to 8 weeks. The bad news is if you think doing 100′s of crunches and ab exercises is the ticket to sexy flat abs – then think again. You can literally do 1000’s of ab exercises per day and never see the slightest bit of tone or definition. Continue reading
Jill Scott Summer Tour
Recently spoke with Jill Scott, one of my fave BNM about life, love, and kicking losers to the curb.
I love her honesty and take no prisoner approach and at a recent chat over tea she continued to bask and glow about her life, love, career, parenting and new beginnings.
My girl is on TOP with a fabulous healthy body, the album ‘Light of the Sun’ entered the coveted Billboard chart at #1 and her summer tour sponsored by Budweiser is set to kickoff July 26th in Boston. Got tix?
Let’s just say she is DATING (up) and being treated like the DOPE Queen she is. Jill says, “I’m taking my time and getting to know the person before I even think about the next step.
That’s right … take it slow and enjoy your new found swag.
