On December 14, Lisa McClendon announced her retirement.  Being naturally gifts in things of the arts, she like many of us became a 'jack of all trades but a master of none'.  She talks about who being busy doesn't equate to being productive and how she had a thought of if she has the ability to do something that she should do it.  So now she retires from doing all that God has told her to back off on.  Read her blog to find out what's next for her?

Narrowing your focus and putting a laser beam on one thing that concentrated focus allows 100% to go towards the effort, making it to yield a better outcome.  It allows the effort to have more potential to be completed in a complete thought - a way to allow it to develop and mature before adding the next mission to the focus.  What are you focusing on?

Up Music TV is designed to display an array of music videos to introduce to some different styles of music.  By keeping things mixed up from Sanctus Real and Mary Mary to Bryon Cage and 10th Avenue North, there is certainly no over exposure of any videos or artists as the music is evenly distributed as the videos play in different cities in North Carolina and in other cities/states.

Now don't get them wrong, Up Music TV certainly has a place for the local artists - so you don't have to be big time to get in the rotation.  With the owner's previous video show, there was airtime covering a massive number of states.  So Up Music TV is certainly going places as the value and connections are there.

On every weekday morning from 6 until 8a, Up Music TV can be enjoyed on local tv (NOT CABLE) - The CW WCWG 20 - to assist in starting the day on the good foot.  Take sometime to visit their site, facebook, and twiter to get information on:

• latest announcements,
• how to make donations,
• get your video played, and
• purchase advertising space for your event or ministry.
