3...2..1..ACTION!

After all the shopping me and my son ,Michael, finished it was off to the studio. A beautiful home where he enjoyed the crew snack table, the backyard tanning and peaking in on me as the day went by. 
This is 'mom' from the the commercial shoot  She did a wonderful job. This photo was taken shortly after an emotional interview for me, so as the day goes on I just got worse looking. The makeup cries off, I begin sticking my hair behind my ear, blowing my nose until it's red. I know what you're thinking...lovely. I even got sunburned...so much for sunblock 60!


Here's the little lady from the commercial shoot What a sweety! She was not shy and just amazing!
Some children can perform. Nothing phased her. I think my jaw must have dropped a few times as she repeated and repeated WITHOUT throwing herself on the floor and then walking away just like my little Connor would have done!
I don't know about you, but I see a little rising star with a beautiful personality!



I am loving this day but as you can probably see, I'm a mess. Argh!!! I give up LOL

Seeing them all work together as a team is simply amazing and they all did a brilliant job from start to finish.
Part of the emotion of it all is having something you invent and feel excited about receive confirmation from industry leaders, like Sully. To walk into such a beautiful home with lights, camera crew, producers and such a star standing there smiling and trying to put me at ease; how can anyone not be overwhelmed?
Realizing this was the result of something I did with all of those late nights and early mornings researching, testing and hanging on to every word that Sully, Billy, AJ Khubani and others ever offered. 
I thought I'd have no problem as I'm a very mood stable person but once I walked onto that set, everything hit me at once and I was flooded with emotion.
There really are no words to express how terrified I was of failure, excited I was for success and thankful I felt for the opportunity.  

Thank you! to Meredith Smiley at Nordstroms in Tampa who ran to my rescue when taping the infomercial in heat I was not ready for! I have never had such great experience in customer service before :-)
