Marriage, Love and Happiness

Marriage, Love and Happiness

We have with us today a lovely, talented, gifted woman of God.  My first encounter with her was on a national tour of an inspirational heart wrenching tale put to music of life, woes and giving your heart to Christ.  We are graced to be in her presence this afternoon for a casual, in depth talk about marriage, love and happiness.  Her name is Desiree Roots Centeio.

Penny:  I know that you are presently married, and today we are speaking of marriage, love and happiness.  One of my questions for you today is:  What does marriage mean to you?

Desiree:  Marriage means for me a spiritual commitment to your life partner that is grounded and guided by GOD.  The only person that should ever be allowed to be between you and that partner is GOD because he is the glue that holds that union together.  Of course it doesn't hurt that I also met the man of my dreams.

Penny:  How wonderful it is to know and understand that God IS the glue, and that your marriage is a covenant.  And, it is an AWESOME thing to find the man of your dreams. (shout shout shout!!)  Many are searching for this dream.  So, within your dream come true, is it perfect?

Desiree:  I believe that anything worthy of your time has to be exercised daily.  You have to constantly exercise and practice the dream of love and marriage.  However, within that exercise, you have to know that practice does NOT make perfect.  Practice only makes better and better.  The only PERFECT thing is GOD.  So, in exercising the daily moves necessary to keep a marriage healthy, it has its ups and downs, but our good days most definitely outweigh the bad.

Motherhood
Penny:  I heard you are the mother of a girl and a boy.  Has this impacted your life regarding your career as an entertainer?

Desiree:  I have these beautiful blessings in my life, and I can honestly say that it has given me more drive and has inspired me to do MORE within my career so that I leave a legacy for them.  My parents were both entertainers and traveled the entire United States together before they started a family.  They left a legacy of love and music with me and my four siblings.  I would love to see that same pride within my children.  Knowing that, one day, they can say "my mommy recorded this", or "my mom performed here; traveled there".  They each have a blossoming talent that has been touched by the arts.  Each has been on stage with me at one time or another.  And, for the record, I have THREE kids (26, 6 & 4), and they are ALL musically inclined.  I like to think I had a little something to do with that.

Entertainment
Penny:  I heard that the show CROWNS, your latest acting performance, was a very captivating show.  What's coming up next for you?

Desiree:  Yes, CROWNS was a highly attended show that seemed to be loved by all.  It was actually the second time I've performed the role of Wanda in that show for Theatre IV.  My next endeavor is to work on my CD.  It's been an ongoing desire that I continually kept putting on the back burner. My husband has forbidden me to record on anyone else's project until I complete my own.  As he's stated time and time again..."you continue to use your voice to help others.  NOW, it's time to help yourself and let the world hear that gift".  So, since he's the bread winner and is gracious enough to allow me to follow my dream, all I could say was "yes sir" and book the studio.  I have several ideas I'm tossing around for a CD, but it will mostly concentrate on the Jazz genre with a twist, so stay tuned!!

Happiness?

Penny:  So, happiness means what to you?

Desiree:  Happiness means to me simply:  the love of family, the love of life and the ongoing pursuit to be the best that you can be.  I will continue to always reach for the moon, because if I miss, I will still be amongst the stars.

...to be continued!!!
