Saturn L200

If you read my column on Wednesday, you'll see that I learned a lesson over the weekend. I learned that people evolve and change and mature.

We gave our daughter a budget to find a new car - one that will take her into early adulthood and off to college. She found one that had all of the features that she wanted. I never would have picked this car for her, assuming it would look to "old" for her. I even asked her more than once before the deal was done if she was sure this was the car she wanted. She said that she LOVES her car.

I was taught that we never really know people. We never really can predict what they will say, do, or be. It is a good lesson to allow people to be who they want without our assumptions. It makes us listen to them, wait to see what they do, and not make judgments.

One step closer to reality tv . . .

Remember my post to Scott Manville about my reality TV show idea? Here's what he has to say.

Hi Faydra-
You're not stuck at all, you're now ready to get out there and find the right company for your project. It comes down to this- If you're not willing to expose your project, you'll never sell it. All you can do is take measures to minimize risk, such as archiving it at http://www.creatorsvault.com and keep all records of exposure, such as the project status reports at the TV Writers Vault ( http://www.tvwritersvault.com ) and Screen Writers Vault ( http://www.screenwritersvault.com ). Never dump the project on companies that haven't accepted your request for submission, and keep records of all emails, faxes, and mailings. You should also assume that others are already developing the same or similar concepts, and you need to start the fight to get it to the mountain top first.

See What It's All About

I just signed up on Facebook and am reconnecting with long-lost friends and people who share similar interests with me. Check out the fun and maybe we can become friends too!

They're Geeks and They Like to Party

My daughter has always called herself a "geek" when she and these boys were little. I used to call them the "Keg of Milk Crew". I could not believe how great this video was and I am really proud of how well these kids are turning out as the ready themselves to graduate from high school.

I love the reference to Dungeons and Dragons, as she is the proud owner of new "dungeon dice", as I call them, that her step-daddy-to-be bought her.

Great job boys!!!!

Will My Reality be a Reality?

I blogged to you about a reality TV show I created and registered. Then I hit a brick wall. I did not know where to go from there. I wanted to find out how to get in front of someone who could hear about my idea and help me sell it. But how?

So, it has sat there and I have waited.

Today on my way to work, I was meditating and thinking about all that I have in life and all that I want to accomplish, including seeing this show on TV! When I opened my e-mail, I found this link to a new blog by Scott Manville. His blog is designed for people just like me trying to do what I am trying to do!

So, I am pretty excited and hope that this is the break that I and my reality show have been looking for. I'll keep you posted.

Something to Consider ~

Teach your kids
Teach yourself
Teach your employees and co-workers
Teach the world

Nothing worth having comes easily . . .
