My last day today.

Posted By: Kristen Stephens · 12/22/2011 7:55:00 AM

So today is my last day on the CJ104 Morning show for just over a year.  It comes with mixed emotions for me.

I LOVE what I do every morning and as cheezy as it sounds I consider it an honour that you trust me enough to invite me into your home, work and cars every morning as you are running around trying to keep everything going in your own crazy life.

I share pretty openly my life on the air.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  You hear about my husband and my son. My cooking disasters, my soap box rants, My stories of my parents and sisters.  You were there when I reviled that I had been diagnosed with cancer this year and shared my surprise of finding out that I was expecting a new baby.

Many people ask me if I plan to take the full year for maternity leave and some are surprised when I say yes. I truly feel that its a blessing to live in a country that encourages families to spend that first year together and bond and I don't want to miss out on that once and a life time experience.

Thank you for your kindness over the last 7 years and in particular your enthusiasm over the last 2.5 years I've been lucky enough to host the morning show.

I will be returning on Jan 2, 2013 and in the meantime Terry Mann will entertain you to no end!

    You will be missed more than you know. Sometimes I think of you as one of my dearest friends. Good luck!

    Hi Kristen,
    I just want to wish you Merry Christmas and all the best with your new addition.
    I'll miss listening to you on my way to work in the morning and will look forward to your return in a year.
    Having said that, enjoy every moment of your maternity leave. They are only little once.

    Have a wonderful year Kristen! Enjoy every moment, even the sleepless ones because in the blink of an eye they will be all grown up! We will miss your cheery voice in the mornings, and the topics that get us thinking (and commenting). Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    Will definitely miss your cheerful voice each morning. Glad to hear you will be taking the full year off. It is such a precious time and no one should miss it. And your own health issues must be accounted for as well. Joy, peace, love, laughter and abundant health are my Christmas wishes for you now and throughout the coming year. In the meantime, we will make do with Terry until Jan 2013.
