My first TV appearance: Plugging From Incurable to Incredible

Don't change the channel! From Incurable to Incredible gets a plug on TV.

Things have been busy coming back from vacation, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. I was feeling scattered and stressed this morning thinking of all I need to do, but am in a much better place now.  One thing that helped was a call from from fabulous husband  Mike, a fellow public relations pro who knows a thing or two about getting publicity.

While we were getting things done around the house this weekend, Mike emailed a couple of local news contacts about From Incurable to Incredible. Thanks to his efforts, I’ll be on Channel 9, WCPO Cincinnati this Sunday morning, July 4, around 8:30 a.m. or so. Janelle Walton, the morning anchor is interviewing me about the book.

When I was doing PR for hospitals and other health care organizations, I always made sure someone else was in front of the camera – a doctor or other topic expert. I’ve been caught on camera in the background of press conferences I’ve organized ,but never have been the one to do the talking. So this will be the first time I’ve been interviewed on TV.

Of course, the first thing that comes to my mind is that the camera adds 10 pounds and how will my pores and wrinkles show on camera. Yes, vanity strikes!  But I’m trying to focus on my higher purpose: to get the word out so someone who really needs some hope and inspiration finds out about the book.  As I know, these segments are short, so let’s hope there are some early birds out there watching!

I better get my “you know what” in gear now to drop off the book at the station and pick up my daughter from her day camp. Until next time!
