What's Your Bold Move?

At our Magic Party summer retreat last July, Magic Faculty member Alexandria Hilton led us through an entire day of how to make our dreams come true and then followed it up with a teleclass for those interested in going deeper and into action. Both programs were remarkable and, even though I think everything we do is pretty remarkable, these two programs changed my life in a good way. I know from emails I have received that I am not alone and many of the women have already created remarkable results themselves.

We began by identifying a dream and then standing up to declare it out loud.

I decided to go for broke and figuring I had nothing to lose somehow squeaked out that I wanted to be the next Oprah with a syndicated TV show focused on helping viewers heal their bodies, minds, and spirits and bring a little magic into their lives.

Aside from all the reasons I knew this was a stupid, ridiculous and very far fetched dream, I somehow found myself taking some small but wicked courageous steps over the next few months. The first thing I did was sign up for an acting class. I figured if I was ever going to be on TV, I should probably have some idea of what might be required.

Since I have absolutely no acting, television, or media experience, acting class seemed like a good place to start. Until I walked into the room on the first day, that is, and almost passed out from fear. Seriously! No kidding! Yup, me, the sometimes daring chick, who has been in front of corporate groups for 20 plus years, way out of her comfort zone and scared to death!

The experience turned out much better than I thought once I got over the initial panic. My teacher Daena Giardella, www.daenagiardella.com said I have potential and that’s good enough for me. I just completed her 5 week improv class and found out I really like this acting thing and look forward to doing more of it.

But here is my really big news. Thanks to Jackie Bell, www.NaturalBell.com who inspired me by starting her own local cable TV show and Anna Huckabee Tull www.customcraftedsongs.com for introducing me to Szifra Birke, who let me sit in on her taping of her local cable show called ShrinkRap, I, yes that would be me, the girl who dreams big and then wonders what the heck she was thinking, taped my first show; Wake Up with Wendy; Discover the Magic of YOU!. this week on local cable television.

OK, so it’s just local cable and not syndicated television, but I figure everyone starts somewhere. I am proud, excited and, after viewing the shoot; realize I have LOTS and TONS of room for improvement. My producer says it’s great to have things to work on to improve yourself, otherwise you get bored. I cannot even fathom the idea of being bored.

The show is about helping viewers bring a little more magic into their lives through finding, expanding, and using their gifts and talents to make a bigger difference in the world. I am finding it can be fun being a beginner if I can control my inner critic.

Every dream starts with a single step; just one crazy single bold move. Being a beginner can be loads of fun. Just think, as a beginner you have no bad habits to have to break.

I know many of you have dreams. I know many of you are working on your dreams. Please do share by sending an email to info@themagicparties.com and we will post them in next month’s newsletter.
