What a great way to end the week! I was stunned when I got a call from Jessica at the Tyra Banks show. To be honest, I thought my friend Jessica Duquette was playing a little joke on me when she said "Hi, this is Jessica calling from the Tyra Banks show and we need a professional organizer in New Jersey to help organize a bedroom for one of our guests" At first I laughed, but then quickly realized this was for real!
I discovered Tyra's show a couple month's ago when Tivo recorded it for me. I was so impressed with her kindness and generosity to her guests. She always takes the high road. But I never imagined in my wildest dreams her generosity would connect her to me! She had her assistant contact me simply to help a past guest from New Jersey who needs a room in her home organized!
They bought a gift certificate from me, and the real kicker is they aren't planning to do a show around it. They just wanted to help her out. Isn't that amazing? I tend to get so cynical about corporate motives at times...this was just so uplifting. Not only did they find me and choose me which is a huge honor in itself, but Tyra is truly doing this out of the kindness of her heart! No ulterior motives to get publicity or show how great she is. If I was a fan of hers before...I'm a RAVING fan now!
If you haven't seen her show, check out her website... www.TyraTV.com she has some very interesting topics as well some just fun topics! Thank you Tyra for uplifting me in so many ways. What a great example you are to the young people of this country!
And to make my week complete, I got a Blog of the Day Award! The universe is smiling at me and I'm smiling right back! It's hard to describe how good it feels when all the hard work and long hours I've put into building Neat Living as a resource to help ease people's suffering and acheive their dreams is recognized. As the mom on Extreme Makeover Home edition last week said, "what word is bigger than thank you?"
