Confrontation Confirmation

Well I was walking into the radio station yesterday I was confronted by one of the on air personalities in the parking lot ( I won't name drop to protect their privacy). They said the following " I don't like you, I think you are a liar, a manipulator, and  if you think you are going to be someone in this business...you're not! I know everyone and I will ruin you. Don't mess with me Kristen, I am not a person to be messed with". Then they stormed off and got in their car. 

I stood their shocked. What had I done? I have never really even talked to this person. And isn't this a Christian radio station? Aren't we supposed to be kind to one another and talk things out when there is a problem?

I tried to keep it together, but started to tear up in the office. Here I was talking about tears of joy in my last post and now tears of hurt. I realized once I talked to a few trusted people around the station, that I didn't do anything wrong and that some people are just intimadated by people they think are going to be successful.

I'm glad I didn't say anything back, I just smiled and nodded my head. By the end of the day I was actually laughing at the whole thing. I feel like evil is trying to take down the wonderful things Linnda and I are doing for God and I am not going to let them get to me and my work for God. Back it up devil! This will be a great story to put in my book about how someone told me I couldn't make it and how I didn't listen and was successful. 

Our show is taking off and very quickly may I add! Today we had the casting directors from " Recount" on the show. Look up Rita Manyette and Lori Wyman. They are such wonderful women and gave great advice on how to get into the acting business. Step one take acting classes (If you want to know more leave me a comment and I'll send you the info on how to find a legitimate school).

Tomorrow we are interviewing Peter Cetera (he wrote and performed the theme song for Baywatch and Karate Kid II and the song " One Good Women" ) and Ruben Studdard ( the season 2 winner of American Idol)! I am so proud of myself, I booked Ruben all by myself. No one gave me any contact info, I just did it. It shows how if you really trust God, follow your heart and honestly give everything your best effort, those efforts will pay off : )

I also am working with some guys in Tampa on getting our website up and rolling.  Then one of them told me he used to work at Rainsoft. Dave ( My step father that died two weeks ago) used to work there. I mentioned this and he is like " oh yeah, I know him". Is it not a small world? The fact that they knew Dave put me at such ease that I am working with the right guys. They also told me their friend owns a small Christian TV station in Tampa and that they could put me in contact with them. Sweet! 

I also had an interview today at a media company. One of my former co-workers at WESH is leaving and called me to see if I wanted to try and fill her spot. We will see how that goes. I really am not sure what has planned here, we will see.

My thoughts for today: Make friends. If you want to be successful, talk to everyone you know, I don't care what they do, if they are successful at anything, chances are they know some people that could help you on your path. One of our guests Wednesday, Choreographer Karol Desort is going to try and put me in contact with people to start up a step team.

All your dreams can come true, you just have to tell people what they are, trust God and take action! Oh and have fun! People don't want to talk about business, they want to laugh! ***The picture is of me laughing with WESH 2 Anchors Scott Walker and Syan Rhodes ( Scott is now in New Orleans), we always had fun and so with them it never felt like I was working. 

Find a job you love and you'll never work another day.

Surrond yourself around the best people you can find, so you can help each other become successful. Don't waste your time with people who aren't doing things or you won't do anything either...just pray for them and move on.
