The calm...before???

In a waiting period, holding pattern, hover...cruise control...neutral...
Book was sold out on pre-orders, now waiting for the public release and the national media tour to begin. I guess I should enjoy these short calm moments, because if all goes as planned, it's going to 'blow-up' in a matter of weeks or days, who knows. My vision takes me all over the country, on radio stations, TV stations and in magazines or newspapers. In my dream, people will want to hear my stories and follow my sports career journey. The dream began so long ago, it's almost unreal, but it's here and it's happening too. Crazy!
I look forward to talking with guys I've known in the business over the years. I'm picturing myself, manifesting myself and creatively visualizing myself on stations in L.A., New York, Seattle, St. Louis, Kansas City, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, San Diego, etc. I dream of taking trips around the country to appear on TV shows and talk shows. John Stewart, Ellen, Leno, on and on. Hey, I can dream, can't I? Remember, this whole book thing was a dream, and it came true. I guess, with a little help from my friends and family, I made it come true. So now, I'll make this dream come true too. Sweet!

WHEW!!!!

It's taken me some time to recover from the book signing this past weekend in Shell Beach. Wow, what a surreal, enjoyable and crazy time we had at The Steaming Bean. The best part was we sold out of the pre-order copies. So cool! Now we wait until next month for the public sale online and in stores. I am thrilled to be sharing my stories, hoping people will be interested enough to finish the book and feel something.
I had this idea that I was "just a girl with stories to tell." But, that's changed over the past 10 days. I am a girl with stories to tell, but the book has a deeper and more significant message...we can be or do anything we dream to be if we are given and offered the right emotional and intellectual tools. We can dream for days at a time, for a life time and have what we want and create what we manifest. All we need is love and support from those closest to us. That is our strength, that is our fuel and that is our nourishment. It's what gets us up each day and keeps us going. It may sound cliche, but it's SO not!
I had a dream as a child to be a sportscaster. I just spent the last 22 years doing just that. You'll see the true stories of my time doing it, living it and proving we can do WHATEVER we want...if we're given the tools, the mental and spiritual tools. Love and encouragement are huge here and mean more than any college or university education!!!

Help me continue to get my message out and tell my stories. Buy a copy, buy more than one and give them as gifts to anyone that has a dream or a goal. Give them to anyone who wants something great in life!!!

It's sooooo close...

I guess how I'm feeling is natural...anxious, nervous, exhausted, overwhelmed and semi-ready. It's been such a long journey full and exhilarating. Now, it's here, just about 48 hours away. If I was rich I would fly every single person into town that has been there for me. Anyone that has supported me along the way. Everyone that has encouraged me or pumped me up during my radio/TV career. I dream of the day we can all get together and celebrate my 22+ years in this crazy business. There are so many people out there that have had an impact on my life. Many who don't even know how much they contributed to this project. I hope every guy and girl who's in the book sees it and gets 'it'.
I'm going to try and nap today, it's been a sleepless week full of anticipation for the weekend. When the truck showed up with my book on Wednesday afternoon, what a trip it was as the driver lowered the palate of boxes onto the ground and wheeled them into my garage on his dolly. I wept, he freaked out to have a strange woman crying over his delivery, then we laughed. As he drove away, I opened a book, stared at the title and realized that...I DID IT!
