It's been quite a while since I've taken the time to sit down and write for my blog. The last months have been a mix of happy and sad, highs and lows, ups and downs... so many events have occurred in my life that have taken me through the complete array of emotions. But today I have something fun to share.
A couple of weeks ago I was watching one of my favorites, "The Dr. Oz Show." World-renowned motivational speaker, spiritual healer and author Deepak Chopra was featured on this episode to teach people alternative forms of healing. This man is so motivating and inspirational that his words shot through me and I woke up to listen. At the end of the show Dr. Oz mentioned a special contest they were having which viewers could enter on the website. The winner would be flown to San Diego, California for a weekend at the famous La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad and would get to attend a seminar by Mr. Chopra himself. I found myself plugging in all my personal information and writing up a little synapses of why Mr. Chopra motivates me and then I hit the submit button without thinking about it again.
Last week I was out eating pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) for lunch with my mother when my phone started ringing. I looked down to see that the call was coming from a 212 area code - New York City! Everyone I know from NYC is already plugged into my address book so I wasn't sure who the call was coming from. I let it go to voicemail. As soon as the voicemail notification buzzed I listened. It was a producer from the Dr. Oz Show telling me that she had a unique opportunity for women from San Jose to be on the show. I immediately called her back and she informed me that they were looking for women who were willing to test the water in their homes and who would be interested in appearing on the show. So today, one week later, I received my water test kit via FedEx and am awaiting another delivery of the video camera I'll use to record myself getting the samples tomorrow morning. As soon as the samples are taken I have to drive the package over to a FedEx drop off to be shipped back to the testing center for immediate processing. I should know within a week whether or not I'll be on the show.
The really cool and ironic thing about this whole experience is that meeting Dr. Mehmet Oz is on my bucket list of things to do before I die. This man has motivated in more ways than I ever expected. He's the reason I lost 23 pounds when I moved back home and because of that I was able to get my life and health together again.
More to come in the next week!
