My listeners know that to keep healthy and happy you have to have some celebrations in life.

I’m blessed in my family to have a Heinz 57 pedigree. We have a little bit of every culture. That means that we get to celebrate every cultural and religious holiday that has ever been invented.

We recently discussed Hanukkah and Christmas, and I’m still making my gingerbread Menches and chocolate Mouskowitzes (my maiden name was moskowitz) to go in the family Chrismukkah packages, because we love to celebrate all the holidays we can, but even the black members of my family were not all that familiar with Kwanzaa.

I can’t pass up another celebration, so I invited someone with a little more knowledge and a lot better sense of humor than mine to discuss Kwanzaa with our listeners around the world.

Although Kwanzaa was born in the United States, it’s popularity has spread worldwide. Who can pass up another weeklong celebration. Join us for an hour and find out how to do it.

Is there anyone on Earth who doesn’t have visions of a Yule log at this time of year? Whether it’s a real Yule log that you burn in your fireplace or a wonderful decadent cake Yule log, that name really brings up the Christmas season. But what if you don’t celebrate Christmas, how about Winter Solstice?

Is the Pagan or Wiccan faith’s Winter Solstice the same as Chanukah/Christmas/Kwaanza? What are the core values of Wicca, and do they have a Bible or something? Does Wicca have a leader like the Pope?

So what are the major holidays for a Wiccan? How do they celebrate these holidays?

Does being a Wiccan impact work or social life? Well, how would you like the chance to ask a very successful practicing Wiccan and therapist about her life and work?

Please join me for a spirited hour with Bebe Meeks, and even call in your questions (888-346-9141). The more the merrier!

“See” you there.

Happy holidays! We’re right in the middle of the most indulgent part of the year where everybody totally over eats and then spends the month of January trying to stick to their brand new resolution to lose all the weight they gained in December.

We’re all pretty much used to dieting because most of America is overweight. I don’t have statistics worldwide, but I would guess that there are a lot of overweight people out there who want to know how to control their eating so they don’t have to be on that constant stress of dieting.

Just as there are personality types for interacting with people there are nine personality types that influence your food, diet, and exercise choices. Join me for a discussion of, The Enneagram of Eating, with author, Ann Gadd.

We’ll uncover emotional eating triggers, exercise regimes best for you, and how and why we entertain the way we do. We will also reveal where each type fails at weight loss and how they can be inspired to succeed.

Did you know that a recent survey showed nearly half of Americans believe in aliens? However, less than 20% of them believe in alien adduction, and a few less than that actually claim to have seen a UFO.

What do you think? Do you think we have been visited by aliens? For how long? Do you think our governments have been encountering these aliens and hiding it from us?

Join me and author Frank Joseph, as we answer some questions about “Foo Fighters” and other strange encounters. Were there alien encounters in Vietnam? How about Afghanistan?

Was an alien base on the moon discovered even before 1969’s first manned lunar landing?

You can’t miss a show like this – join us Tuesday at 1 PM PST and you can ask the expert all about alien encounters. “See” you then.

Welcome to Week 3 of Merry Military Month — The Future of Our Armed Forces.

Why do you think that there are so many military families that go back for generations? Because it’s a great life! There was an ancient saying – “Join the Navy, and See the World.” Not only are the travel opportunities tremendous, but Uncle Sam pays the way.

Joining the military is one of the best avenues of getting a top-notch education — for free! All you have to do is love your country. Besides education benefits and the generous retirement, the health benefits are tremendous and follow you into retirement.

There are youth programs so kids can get an idea of what it might be like to be in the military without signing their lives away. They include the Marine Devil Pups, Navy Sea Cadets, Civil Air Patrol for the Air Force, etc. The ROTC programs in the schools are wonderful previews of the joys of military life.

Call in Tuesday and chat with a top recruiter: 888-346-9141.

Do you know how many uniform services there are? Here’s a hint – it’s not five. Do you know what all of those services actually do for us?

Do you know where the uniformed services are serving right now? Here’s your chance to ask everything you ever wanted to know about the military right now – the present.

Last week we learned history of the military, and this week we will learn where they are and what they’re doing in the present. Your guide to all things military present will be Woody Woodrum, the President of California Screaming Eagles. If you don’t know what they are, it’s a good time to call him and ask.

So join us for a Week 2 in our month-long celebration of all things Military, and find out what they’re up to right now.

Join us for Week 1 of Merry Military Month, when we celebrate all things uniformed services.

Do you know how many uniformed services there are (hint — it’s not five)? You’ll find out this week.

This month we will explore the past, present, and future of the uniformed services and the contributions they have made and will make in the future.

Our first week we’re going to have Chief Stuart Hedley, who was my first guest on the show. He’s a Pearl Harbor survivor and a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer.

Stewart recently celebrated his 97th birthday but he remains active doing public service speaking, working with the Pearl Harbor Survivors Club, and is a Deacon of this church.

There is no better representation of the ideals of the uniformed services than Chief Stuart Hedley, and he will take us through his experiences surviving Pearl Harbor and in the Korean War.

“See you” Tuesday.

It’s almost Halloween. It’s that wonderful spooky time when the spirits come out for just one night – or is it just one night? Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe in really good ghost stories?

You’re really going to enjoy this week when we feature our guest, John Cushman, who hosts dinners with guest ghosts in various haunted locations around the country.

At the dinner, the dining table is always the fulcrum of the event, brought to life with fine china and crystal placesettings, theatrical lighting, and dramatic rock crystal centerpieces. On the Paranormal front, the full complement of digital audio recorders, alarms, REM-pods, motion detectors, K-2 meters, digital cameras and a laser grid are poised to measure and record activity, with special attention given to the spirit place settings.

Join us for an explanation of how John got into this and how he pulls it off! Not for the faint hearted but then, it’s only radio. Don’t miss this Tuesday – it’ll haunt you forever.
