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 />
