Ever since I was on “Bozo the Clown” a Boston-based children’s television show when I was five years old, I have dreamt of being on television and having my own television show. Today was my lucky day where the dreamer in me got awakened.
Last summer at our Magic Retreat by the lake, our topic and theme was “awakening the dreamer and turning our dreams into reality.” As part of the program we each had to declare out loud to the group a dream we have. Yup, you guessed it; mine was I wanted to have my own national television show.
As soon as the words left my mouth, I thought it sounded ridiculous and I wondered who else thought I was insane. The reason it sounded especially crazy is that I have no background in the television industry or background in media of any kind. I considered that my declaration was just a moment of “workshop passion,” you know the excitement one has while in a workshop to make a big change in your life? I knew I was probably safe because usually workshop passion disappears, brings you back to your senses and convinces you whatever you said was not something you either believed in or expected would actually happen once you spend a few days back in your real life and away from the workshop.
Somehow I was able to feel both crazy and excited at the same time with the possibility of having my own show and I started to brainstorm ideas for getting started. The first thing I did was sign up for an acting class. I figured if I was going to be on television, I should have some skills and learn some foundational techniques.
Well, today was my lucky day where the dreamer in me knew without a doubt that I was on my way, even though in the early stages of my journey. Today I made the first foray into television as I had the first taping of my new local cable television show called, Wake Up with Wendy; Discover the Magic of You. It wasn’t half bad for the first time out of the shoot.
I’m no Oprah but I have a dream that is bigger than my fears!
Dreams really do come true. So can yours.
