Suddenly I was in my element. I<br />
began to smile, the hands started<br />
moving and I never wanted the<br />
evening to end. I recall wearing<br />
my winter hat and jacket, but was<br />
completely oblivious to the cold.<br />
I got to introduce all of the<br />
performers, including THE Miss<br />
Piggy! The little bit I got to do with<br />
her evoked my genuine laughter. I<br />
was having the greatest time.<br />
The show and my time on stage<br />
ended that night with all of the<br />
performers, along with Santa, on<br />
stage dancing and singing the final<br />
number. I stood right between Aloe<br />
Blacc and Miss Piggy and danced<br />
and sang right along with them.<br />
Surreal.<br />
The next day, I was headed into<br />
President’s Park in the late morning<br />
when I saw Reese pull up in a black<br />
SUV out front and walk in right in<br />
front of me, ready for the morning<br />
rehearsal.<br />
Oh, if only I could have done it<br />
again! But what an unforgettable<br />
experience! It’s incredible how fast<br />
a door can open and opportunity<br />
can strike, as long as you’re willing<br />
to pursue it.<br />
Always look for these moments.<br />
I would have never had that<br />
experience had I not have asked for<br />
it that night. No one would have<br />
offered it to me. Don’t be afraid to<br />
speak up as the worst someone can<br />
tell you is no.<br />
The chance that someone says “Yes”<br />
is worth the risk.<br />
It certainly was for me<br />
that night!<br />
