One such accomplishment has to do with her career and theWild 95.5 morning show. “Our morning show is a real accomplishment. To be in atown for 12 years in an industry that has huge amounts of turnover is unheard of. Inall honestly, we should have been fired years ago for all the goofy stunts we’ve pulledoff!” Luckily for 95.5 listeners, the morning team is still going strong with their crazyantics and they hope to continue riding the wave for a long time to come.Aside from radio, her daughter and “Pandaface,” Virginia has more passions shehopes to continue to fuel. “I love travel and I love food. I would love to eat my wayaround the world with Magnolia and myPanda. My first stops would be Greece,France, Asia and Italy…but I am truly upfor any travel adventure.”Virginia has a heart as big asher personality and has becomeheavily involved with a South Floridaorganization called Little Smiles (www.littlesmiles.org). “Little Smiles is avolunteer organization that helps to putsmiles on the faces of kids in need.

Cheese and has spenta great deal of her life wishing and thinkingabout where she wanted to be andhow she could get there. “I was alwaysthinking about where I’d rather be andwhat I would rather be doing,” Virginiashares. “It was all put into perspectivethe other day for me when looking at afriend’s Facebook quote. For a long timeit had seemed to me that life was aboutto begin—real life. But there was alwayssome obstacle in the way. Something tobe gotten through first, some unfinishedbusiness, time still to be served, a debt tobe paid. Then life would begin. At last itdawned on me that these obstacles weremy life.”“Now I know it’s the journey not thedestination. I try to remember that everyday now. Every day of life is a great gift,but not everybody remembers to appreciateit and say thank you. The things thatyou overcome and how you deal withobstacles IS your life.”16 HERLIFEmagazine.com
