October Already? Let’s Enjoy the Rest of 2023 Before Its Gone!

As the year rapidly approaches its final stretch, it is time to seize the moment and make the most of the time left. While we may have had our fair share of ups and downs throughout the year, there’s still an abundance of opportunities to savor the rest of 2023 and create lasting memories.

Alyssa and Allison shared 6 Ways to Make the Most of the Rest of 2023 from Crosswalk.com, read the full article HERE.

“John 10:10 shares that the Lord gives “life and life abundantly,” and that is very true in how we view our lives. God has graciously given us this time, but we get to decide through Free Will and choice how we will spend or squander these precious days. Life will offer abundant lessons or experiences for the good or the difficult, but how you navigate is determined if you do so within or without God. To really spend these final days of 2023 well, navigate with God. God loves you deeply, and even through the fiercest storm or the most beautiful of days, doing life with Him is spending life well. Go forth and live life abundantly in this last breath of 2023.”

Let’s embark on a journey to embrace the beauty of the present and make the most of the days ahead. The rest of 2023 holds endless possibilities for joy, growth, and fulfillment. By reflecting on your achievements and setting meaningful goals, you can make the most of the remaining months of the year.

We hope you find some inspiration from what we shared this morning!

Fred Rogers, Powered by Faith, Impacted Generations with Lessons on Being a Good Neighbor

“Fred McFeely Rogers was a shy, somewhat awkward, and sometimes bullied child growing up in the 1930s. After going to college for what he called his “first language”—music—he prepared to enter seminary and study for the ministry. But on a visit home for Easter, he saw television for the first time. He hated it—people on the program were throwing pies in each other’s faces, and Fred found that demeaning. Nonetheless, he sensed instantly television’s capacity for connection and enrichment. That moment changed his life—and the lives of millions of Americans.”

Today on The Morning Thing we shared seven lessons we can learn from Mister Rogers that can help us as Americans be better neighbors. It is National Good Neighbor Day and we found the lessons from Mister Rogers to be fitting celebrating a day like today.

You can read the full list of these life-changing lessons HERE.

We hope you find these lessons to be as impactful as we did.

The Morning Thing Shares a little bit about Kindness and Happiness

Our cohosts shared some ways you can spread some kindness and happiness with those around you! Life can be busy and sometimes difficult, but is that any reason to neglect those around you? Here are some quick and easy ways to help impact those around you in your day to day life!

Click HERE to read the full list from Positivity Blog.

Here are some that our cohosts shared on the air!

1. Express your gratitude. 

Think about what you can be grateful for about someone in your life.

Maybe that he is a good listener, that he often is quick to help out or that he always adds great songs to a Spotify playlist. Or simply that he held up the door for you.

Then express that gratitude in a simple “thank you!” or in a sincere sentence or two.

2. Replace the judgments. 

No one likes to be judged. And the more you judge other people the more you tend to judge yourself.

So despite the temporary benefit of deriving pleasure from the judgments it is not a good or smart long-term habit.

When you feel the urge to judge ask yourself: what is one kind thing I can think or do in this situation instead?

3. Replace the unconstructive criticism. 

Try encouragement instead of excessive criticism. It helps people to both raise their self-confidence and to do a better job.

And it will make things more fun and more light-hearted in the long run.

We hope these ways inspire you as much as they inspired us!

WNZR Talks with the Cast of Matilda Jr.

MTVarts Presents Matilda Jr. the weekend of September 15th-17th in Mount Vernon at the Knox Memorial Theatre.

WNZR had the opportunity to chat with cast members from the show and also the choreographer for Matilda Jr.

Alyssa Sidle spoke with Kiersten Clinedinst (Matilda), Drew Caton (Mr. Wormwood), Reese Ferenbaugh (Mrs. Wormwood), Zach Cramer (Nigel), Jillian Snow (Alice), Kiarah Smith (Miss Honey), and Tony Ingham the show choreographer.

They all shared their individual backgrounds in theatre and how much they have enjoyed working on this production.

Listen to the full conversations below:

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the “revolting children” who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence… and special powers! She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda JR.is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
