Two Saturdays ago, I had the opportunity to do a phone patch interview at 9am on a radio program called 'Celebrating Life'. The spot was about a half-hour long, during which time, the host asked me questions about my life and experiences, my volunteer work, travel writing career, and of course, the Chicken Soup story.
It was fun, as I got to just talk on the phone, as if I were conversing with a single person. It felt intimate and less intimidating! The next weekend, a TV show came to my house to actually shoot, so that called for a little more effort to dress up and prepare my house--a different kind of fun, ha. The Saturday after this one, my husband and I will both be guesting on a TV show, to be shot in their studio. So each interview has been varied.
They are saying I'm the first Filipina to have an entry in the book. Whether this is true, I am not sure, but I told them I can't claim that fact for sure--the publishers told me they haven't heard yet of any others...so it's their call, ha.
In any case, I'm so glad to have this platform to share more stories and inspire more people, on a bigger scale than I ever imagined! It's something beyond my dreams...and yet, pushing me further to pursue those big dreams, no matter how high the stars!
Sometimes, life happens like that for us--doors of opportunity open; windows of inspiration let in more light. And when that happens, it's up to us to find out what we are supposed to do from there. I have always believed that God has our best interests in mind; he lets things happen to bring us closer to Him, and to our destiny. Sometimes, that road is hard to find. But we need to accept when even bad things happen, because we never know how all the experiences in life pave the way for something bigger.
Happy weekend!
