Check Out My Pores, I Mean My Video

Have you seen your pores lately or checked for any new wrinkles around the eyes? Well, let me give you a piece of advice . . . Don’t check. Don’t look. Do you think it’s a coincidence that we get near-sighted about the same time things start . . . going south? And let me add this while I’m on a roll, zoom lens should be outlawed!

I guess I should explain my newest rant. You see, a while back, my hubby spotted a request in the Houston Chronicle that said they were looking for people who were passionate/dedicated about something in their life. That’ when he got this grand idea.

Now, I’m sure you recall how most of his ideas go. But I’ll admit, this one is not as bad as the spot removal, the Burger-King stop while I was in labor, or his plumbing disasters. This one is . . . well, it has some good points. But the bad points are funnier, so I’m going to blog about them in this special Sunday edition.

After hubby spotted the article, he sent out an email about my struggle to get published while dealing with dyslexia. One thing led to another and suddenly I had a film crew at my house.

Now, let me tell you, I quickly set some ground rules. Above the waist shooting only. (Hey, I still need to lose thirty pounds!)

However, now that I’ve seen the video, I’m not so sure my rule was the best thing. As of this morning, I’ve contacted my Mary Kay specialist and asked about their newest wrinkle and pore cream.

My agent saw the piece and thank gawd she didn’t mention my need for new night cream, but she did say, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so serious.”

I told her and I’ll tell you. I didn’t change a thing about my personality for the video shoot, so I guess all my bathroom and inappropriate humor just landed on the cutting room floor. I mean, did you notice I followed the video about the nun? What choice did they really have?

Now, all joking aside, I think the video is great. Here’s the link: Christie’s Video. It’s about a subject I’m passionate about, too. And I don’t mean just dealing with dyslexia; I’m talking about overcoming the hurdles in our lives. We all have things that stop us from achieving our dreams. (Now, I’m so passionate about how each of us can Make It Happen in our lives, with the “it” being our dreams, that I’m doing an online workshop about it in September. I’ll talk more about that later, but until then you can check out: Make It Happen.)

So, for just a little bit, let the serious Christie come out and remind you that no matter what hurdles come between you and your goals, don’t ever give up, don’t’ ever stop chasing your dreams.

And if I find that miracle pore-reducer/wrinkle minimizing cream, I’ll share it with you.
