Pass It On

Pass It On

This is not a story about "me", while it is a true story; it's intended as a true story about "us"! My hope is that anyone who reads this story, will truly get the message about looking beyond "me", or ones self, and will think more about the collective "us" and about sharing and giving whenever possible!!

AMEN! No one is truly an over night success, and NO ONE EVER DOES IT ALONE. I have been and am truly blessed to work with the best!!

While this is one of countless one that I have been blessed to share, if I may, let me share a true story:

Thank You John Gehron

Thank you for John for the best lesson of my life. Today I saw someone in in pain; and thanks to you, the message might have helped:

On a side bar about: "She never ever returned the favor", yes it has happened to me. I gave up wasting time worrying about who I've helped and what they did in return for me. It's Karma. It's not what I get back, it's only about what I give.

Over 20 years ago, I made a promise [that I keep to this day] to John Gehron [then at WLS - ABC, Chicago]. It was a simple request John made:

"If I open the doors for you, when you spot talent, do the same for them!"

At the time, I did not realize the magnitude of that request. However, I have always kept that promise. As a result, I have been blessed to work with some of the most talented legends on the plant!! John in later years opened the door to my career at ABC, CBS & many other places. "Thank you John, for the best lesson of my life! Thank you God, for putting John in my life." Hope this helps the sting.

Wishing you the best,
