I'm ever just slightly annoyed.
Of all the things I've accomplished in my life, the lives I've saved, the successful non-profits I've run, and so many other things...it's sort of pissing me off that the one thing I'm going to be on television for is where I live. (And, of course, it's not me- it's all of us who live here; some of these folks have successes in their own lives which deserve to be celebrated.)
If I'd known this was going to be my 'claim to fame' I wouldn't have tried so hard all my life!
('Yeah, right!', says everybody who knows me.)
Fingers crossed that my book will be finished, and published, and well received, and then Oprah (or Oprah's People) will email me once again, this time asking me to come to Chicago....
In the meantime, the AP have picked up the news. (Seriously? Must not be a whole lot going on in the world.)
Of course, the big buzz is the first segment of the show. The part we've been trying to keep quiet.
On the Down Low.
You'll see.

Check out the Frenchboro Links on www.Oprah.com!
The wonderful people at Harpo Productions have put together some extra videos of the island and some of our people, and a link to our website, which contains links to our businesses and travel info!

ReplyDeleteHi Marissa,

In fact my DH and I are planning to visit there sometime this year before the Winter starts. I'll be following your blog and am very impressed with you cute knitwear too!
