Jody Watley | Faith Heart Magazine | September 2020 Cover Story

A conversation about inspiration, self-love, fresh starts, reinvention and embracing your own light.

Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and style icon Jody Watley reflected on how she uses her voice — through music, lyrics, her career journey, motivational messages, interviews and a positive online presence — to encourage others to be themselves and live fearlessly.

Her message remains timeless:

•Accept where you are.

•Live in the moment.

•Surround yourself with uplifting energy.

•Don’t define yourself by age or the expectations of others.

•Take care of your mind, body and spirit doing your best to make healthy choices.

•Embrace Your Wattage and Never Let Others Dim Your Light

And perhaps the simplest reminder of all:

“Every day is a FRESH START! I always say — Just BEGIN.”

Jody Watley Wattage Thoughts – Never Underestimate The Power Of A Smile

Posted on May 9, 2022 by Admin

I took this selfie before going onstage for Jammin’ De Mayo Saturday. I’d hurt my knee somehow, had a severe limp getting around and felt bummed that I would not be able to be as mobile as usual in my performance.

No matter what I was going to go on that stage and give my all and the smile was and is the light switch. I took this and said “Let’s Get It Girl!” As long as I can sing – the show will still go on, even if I have to be seated and give you all upper body poses, shoulders and face – the smile – the joy – the wattage is in effect.

Smiling at the crowd and catching their smiles back at me is always magic. They never know what an artist might be going through offstage or on it. I believe in energy and the reciprocation of it returns.

Ii thought of this quote this morning and thought I’d share it as a reminder in case you may be having a rough day or someone else might be —

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” — by Leo F. Buscaglia

Wattage!
