A Night with Michelle and Michelle

I love the title of this blog because that is exactly what Saturday night was. It was an awesome night!  I got to spend time with Michelle Tellone. She does a program every Saturday night called light force and is also on air every weeknight for a 7pm-10pm spot. She is a great person and someone who is truly blessed. I got to meet the whole light force team which was great, because they are all amazing people and were really welcoming of me.
Before I go any farther, let me explain exactly what light force is. Light force is a program that targets youth (even though any age group can listen). Michelle brings together two things that she loves in order to help youth, God and rock music.  She plays christian rock, and just gives youth the opportunity to live right and accept God as their saviour.  She has people guarding the phones, ready to pray with people, accept song requests, and even just talk to listeners . Light force is big, and necessary especially in today's world where youth are lost, down and out, and just feel no hope. Michelle is really blessed. She told me her story about how she ended up at the joy FM, and  it was a story that was just powerful and that I could relate to so much.
After talking with Michelle, it was time to go on the air. It was awesome being on the air, but my insecurities set in again.......my voice.  This was a question that I asked Michelle about. You see, I could relate to Michelle , because her voice wasn't always the smooth voice that she has now. She told me that her voice was shaky and just not the voice she thought she would go far in radio with. So I asked her how did she work with her voice, and she told me. So I will be trying out exactly what she said. I loved being there on Saturday.  I left about midnight, but I didn't mind because of the love and knowledge I walked away with. :-) Bye for now!
