Hello Gorgeous! 2013 TEEN WEEK FINALE IS HERE! And is it ever going out on a high note with an interview with award winning hall of fame speaker, singer, and encourager LaDonna Gatlin. I had the most wonderful conversation on the phone with her-I wish you could have all listened in.
We talked about the dire importance of finding and creating a support group-like a tribe, of like minded friends. After all, you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
We talked at length about making a commitment to Jesus Christ, being in His word as much as possible, getting connected with 'safe, sane and helpful' people. And my favorite-taking a special event trip: to get out of your own comfort zone and get a new perspective on how life is lived by others.
As we neared the end of our time together on the phone, I asked her my favorite question I ask at the end of all my interviews: "If you could have one taco to eat all the time, what would it be?" She gave me the best and most surprising answer! LaDonna Gatlin said MATTA'S crunchy beef taco! A #4 plate from MATTA'S on Higley in Mesa Arizona. Now this is a woman near and dear to my heart because I too order the same thing at the same place when I am in the greater Phoenix area. Enjoy the Q&A below.

1. Why family over fame?
LG: Because family is forever. Fame is fleeting.
2. How do I stay true to my values?
LG: My faith in God. He is the only constant in life.
3. What would I say to aspiring teens?
LG: Be
respectful…especially to those who are in authority over you, provided
they are safe, sane people. AND be yourself. If "yourself" needs a
little work, seek counsel from a trusted adult source.

Too lazy to hit the gym? This full-body workout gives the term "couch potato" a whole new meaning

"It's too cold outside for a run," "the gym is too crowded," "I'll do it tomorrow." We all know these oh-so-familar excuses for not working out. Sure, it's so much easier to plop down on the couch after a long day than to lace up those sneakers. But there is finally hope for even the laziest of the lazy gals. We talked to personal trainers, Pilates instructors, and physical therapists who revealed various exercises that can be done on your very own sofa. Get ready to transform your body one episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" at a time.
