Today Cherie and I ventured into new and uncharted territory. We were on live TV in Seattle. Wow! That is about the best word I can use to summarize this experience. The first thing I want to say is that Cherie and I had a blast practicing our questions for the broadcast. I've never laughed so hard or smiled so big as when we tried out our questions.
When we arrived at KOMO, we were asked if speaking on the radio would also be something we would like to do. OF COURSE IT IS! I had had a previous experience on my friends radio station and looked forward to another shot at this media experience. Cherie did phenomenal. The DJ's were great and the time flew by too quickly.
Then it was time to go live on TV....
I wish I could show you with a picture what an amazing newsroom KOMO 4 is. Every newscaster that is seen on TV was sitting, working at their desk in a semicircle configuration. It was beyond surreal. After being miked, Cherie and I stood and waited for the commercial break to end. "Okay Connie, in 10,9,8..." There was no turning back. This was by far one of the most exciting things I've ever done. It flew by and Connie Thompson was fabulous. What a blessing to be interviewed by her.
I wish I could capture today and bottle up all the feelings I had. The nerves, the laughter, the excitement and the adrenalin. Again I will say to all of you...follow you dreams no matter how big or small. Take on life with gusto and with excitement and may all of your dreams come true!
