If you only watch one of my 'Daily Messages', it should be this one. Steve Jobs was an amazing man. His quote about death may be the most profound quote ever. He says, "No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die." He goes on to say, "Death is very likely the single best invention of life." Watch the video for the entire quote. Amazing!

My mom and dad smoked like chimneys from an early age till the day they died. After several heart attacks, doctors told me that my mother's heart was that of a person 20 years older than her actual age. And that if she didn't stop smoking, the end result would not be good. And the doctors were right.

Humor, it may be better than anything medicines in your medicine cabinet. Do you laugh enough? Do you create enough laughter in others? There is scientific proof that laughter can and will make you feel better. Even a fake smile can trick your brain into a good mood. Laughter is the route to better well-being.

This world is yours. God's creating is for you to explore and enjoy. Today's quote is borrowed from former first lady Nancy Reagan. She reminds us, that this beautiful Earth is ours and it's exciting. If you don't use it, you aren't fulfilling the universal promise. See it, enjoy it, get excited about it, just don't destroy it.

Tonight, I devote my video time with you, to talk about friendship. You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends. How many of you wish you could have hand-picked your family members? Unfortunately, that's not how it works when it comes to family. But the blessing is, we CAN pick our friends Isn't that awesome. We are given the freedom to select the person or persons in our lives to bestow the title of 'friend'. What a gift. A big shout out to my best friend Robert Judice, Jr. I don't have any siblings, so I picked him to be my brother. I guess you can pick family after all. Tonight, we salute friendship in my Daily Message. Thank you for watching.

Back from vacation, trying to get back into the grove of things with my first 'Daily Message' since returning from Arizona. By the way, the Grand Canyon was never on my bucket list, but it should have been. Every American should see it at least once in their lifetime. And if you have time, spend a few nights in Sedona. Back to the message. The message for July 11, 2018 is a quote from George Bernard Shaw. I feel like it might mean something different to everyone who hears it. Have you ever wrestled with a pig? Let me know what you got out of it.

Michelle Obama is the force behind my message today. I think she has some great advice. This, by the way, has nothing to do with whether you're Democrat or Republican, it has everything to do with great message from a former First Lady of the United States.

What makes you come ALIVE? Do you even know what that is? Most people don't. We live in a world where we have universities full of young people who have no clue what they want to be, not sure where their passion lies and not real sure what their good at. Time to do a little soul searching don't you think?

Do you live too safe? I found a quote from J.K. Rowling for today's message. Being someone who likes to live a little on the edge, I love this quote.

Today's message is borrowed from the one and only Oprah Winfrey. "Be thankful for what you have". Oprah says that's the key to having more. And if anyone should know, it's Oprah.

It's time to head back to Graceland with Acadiana's #1 Elvis fan CJ from CJ and Debbie Ray in the Morning. This year will be even more amazing.

Tonight's 'Daily Message' is for the ladies. I guess we can call it another Ladies Night. There is no stronger creature on Earth than woman. Men may be able to attain more muscle strength than women, but in the real world, women rule. Women can hear better than men, take more pain than men, have more patience than men, the list goes on and on. So tonight, I salute women all over Acadiana and the world with Part Two of '25 Quotes For Women'.

Five signs the spark is gone in your relationship and 5 ways to get it back is the 'Daily Message' tonight. Whether your relationship is healthy or not, this message will only help.

Tomorrow is national Take Your Dog To Work Day. From what I heard around the building today, tomorrow our radio station will be packed with dogs. So I thought it would be fun to find a few dog quotes from famous people like Marilyn Monroe, Andy Rooney, Will Rogers and more.

Tonight my Daily Message is so awesome, I almost woke the neighbors just to make 'um watch it. It was sent to me by my friend Lisa Ann Flint. Now if you follow her on Facebook, you know she's absolutely crazy nuts. Actually, that's her persona, the real Lisa Flint is fragile, smart, loving and has a heart of gold. Only a person with those attributes could send me such a profound message about the "Divine Force" aka God.

Been laid up in bed with pneumonia, but back tonight with an amazing message given to me by my dear friend Kelli Guidry. One day, while in bed trying to get well, I spent the better part of the day texting Kelli. Two things she said to me during that time, BLEW MY MIND. So I asked her if she minded if I'd share them with you. She so graciously agreed to let me share our private moment. Thank you to my sweet friend.

Recently, I was just outside of New Orleans to get some much needed rest. Hold up in a hotel room alone, by my own design. After a text conversation with my daughter Brittni, she convinced me to jump in the car and drive into New Orleans to walk around the French Quarter. She thought it would be good for me to get out. After going back and forth in my head about it, I decided I would go into the Quarter to walk around and take in the sites. What happened to me that day, will forever change me.
