My 5 Minutes of Fame & Fun

Wow! It was a blast to be on “live” TV last week and your good wishes made it even better.
I felt so supported and like you were all there with me
I’ve gotten many emails & calls from folks who were sending good wishes even if they didn’t see it or read the follow up column in the Charlotte Observer on 9/19.
It’s really fun to have a “Fan Club”…even for a few days! Thank you.
Here’s the back story.
Bobby Sisk, news anchor on WBNC, channel 36, called me Tues. morning about 10 to see if I could do the interview. He asked me to be at studio by 3:45 that afternoon with somewhat sane answers to the questions he sent me. I’d been taped for tv before but this was live…no way to edit what you say.Gulp!
Of course, it was an already packed day and I wasn’t sure how I could fit another thing into it but somehow it worked out.This was a powerful motivation to get organized!
It was very interesting to see how the studio really looks and to be “miked up”in the “green” ( its really grey) room. Bobbie Sisk. the anchor, was so helpful and relaxed that he made it very comfortable but I didn’t remember what said till I saw the tape.Seeing yourself on video is always a surprise.More makeup next time.
And then he wrote about our conversation in more depth in his column on job search in Sunday Observer.
And his follow up email to me said: “Thank you- you are great to work with!”. What a classy guy !
I learned a lot in the experience and will be sharing that in regular newsletter soon.
I hope the information was useful.Several people told me I need to share this kind of info more so I will think about ways to do that.One person suggested a podcast, anther suggested public tv.Hummm….Your suggestions on that would be helpful & apprecaited.
So thank you to all of you & to Bobby for sharing the fun!
