The First Lady's SHHOW!.... "Hey Ma'! "


Hello, Family and Friends!

Welcome to another sneak preview of the First Lady's SHHOW!  If you missed last week's blog, read below for a little explanation of what's going on.  Those of you who already know the score can simply scroll past this next section:

*********************************************************
We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog this week (and for the next few weeks) to bring you a sampling of a new program I am producing entitled, "The First Lady's SHHOW!"

No, there's no typo in the word, SHHOW.  It's actually an acronym for:

Spirit-filled Hilarious Hour OWorship.

The samples you will watch are not an hour, they're only about 2-4 minutes long.  Eventually, when the whole program is is in full production, you will be able to enjoy an hour-long show that will minister to the entire family by combining elements reminiscent of the Carol Burnett show, the Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live.  There will be improvisational/comedic skits, musical guests, on-the-street interviews, as well as interviews with...you guessed it First Ladies!  It's good, clean family fun with a little something for everyone!

**********************************************************

Today's SHHOW! segment features my 70-year-old mother, Dorothy Whitney sharing her wisdom in response to the question of the day.  After watching Mom's 2-minute interview, be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to see a commercial spot.

I thought it would be great to feature my mom this month because October is recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness month,  and praise God, my mom has overcome breast cancer and many other health challenges.  Last year about this time she encountered some serious health emergencies and we are just so thrilled that the Lord saw fit to heal her and allow her to see her 7oth birthday this year.  We celebrated her  big day on September 10th with a surprise birthday party here in DC--her first birthday party ever--and followed up with a trip to the beach in Duck, North Carolina in the Outer Banks.  

One of the things I love most about my Mom is her ability to be funny without trying.  Her facial expressions, Freudian slips and other subtle actions are endearing and humorous and have brought me much joy over the years--often to her surprise.  My interview segment with her is entitled, "Hey Ma'!" and will be a recurring feature of the SHHOW! so that you too can delight in her wisdom and humor. Enjoy!
