LIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT! Same pants, different life:)!

Thank you to everyone who has written such nice comments about me on the TYRA Show website.  I TRULY appreciate your enthusiasm and support.  I know that like me you understand how important it is for people like TYRA and others who have a daily platform to help and influence public opinion to celebrate our uniqueness as people and honor the choices that we make to best live the life we dream of.  Unfortunately we still live in a world where Paris Hilton is a big draw.  As much as I and others make the case that there is silent majority out there of thinking and motivated people who just need a little inspiration, a little motivation an occasional chuckle and maybe even a challenge to do better and be the incredible person we are each capable of being, shows are driven by interest/ratings and right now Paris Hilton’s appearance about nothing; “thanks but no thanks on that interview to nowhere:)!” currently has about 60 more comments than mine does about life after massive weight loss.

Now let me put this into context because this is not about me.  This is an issue much larger.  This is about all of us.  Paris Hilton was born into a famous and wealthy family.  That’s why she is on television and continues to dominate the covers of magazines.  Okay, that’s one kind of entertainment.  But then there is the kind of entertainment made popular by people like Phil Donahue and Oprah.  That’s the kind of television show that Tyra aspires to be.  And I think she can.  But she needs our support.  She needs to know that if she does more shows with me about the kind of issues that we are all concerned about – making sure we all have the opportunity to have a better quality of life – she needs to know that it will be successful and THE ONLY WAY that her studio/network (syndicator) knows that that is true is by the number of comments that are posted about the show.  

Please help TYRA, you and me to be healthier, happier and more productive by supporting shows like the one I appeared on.  Take a minute to leave a comment at
