E12: A Conversation with my Sister, Renee Ackim

Dancing in the Kitchen

Welcome back to Dancing in the Kitchen Podcast!

As we continue with Birthday Month, I'm excited for you to meet my sister Renee, aka my BFF. Our birthdays are only two weeks apart, but two years difference (she's older). In today's episode Renee and I sat down at her dining room table and talked about so many fun memories along with her favorite foods, least favorites, and her discovery of bird watching. We talked also about how food is always involved in our family celebrations, and laughed at the celebrity she unknowingly turned down on the dance floor back in the day. She shared her love of music and the inspiration she gets from our Great-Aunt Virginia (Ginny Wright) who was a country singer back in the 1950s. Renee was definitely given the gift of song and if you've heard her sign karaoke, you know.

Here's the thing about sisters. Not only are we family, we are also friends…and like I said before, Renee is definitely my ride or die. We have inside jokes that no one else gets, laughed so hard we peed our pants or had juice come out our noses…and we’ve cried together through the night when life got hard. She has always been my biggest cheerleader and I don’t know where I’d be without her. I hope that if you have the privilege of having a sister too, that you also share some funny stories, and have made it through the not-so-funny ones too. Mine keeps me grounded AND she lifts me up. I love her so much. I am going to miss her like mad when I move and so thankful for technology to keep in touch.
