aha moment

the p.r. firm that handles the “aha moment” campaign for omaha mutual found me on the web and contacted me a few days ago with the request that i tell the story of my blog’s inception and impact on my life. i think it’s safe to say that the internet is a crazy animal.

so today, i trecked on over to the parking lot of the rock and soul museum, boarded the 35-foot custom mobile studio, and talked on camera about my “aha moment,” which is defined on the campaign’s homepage as “a moment of clarity; a defining moment when you gain real wisdom — wisdom you can use to change your life.”

i’ll link to the monologue in a month or so when it goes up on the aha website but for now, i’ll leave you with a picture and a bit of wistful reverie. first the picture…

and now the wistful reverie:

oh to be young and hip and employed by an internet marketing firm to travel the country and talk to people about inspiration and wisdom! the folks i met from skedaddle media  made me want to amend my fantasy to do list to include something like “get paid to spend five months sampling the sights, sounds, cuisine, and culture in select american cities.”

for now, i guess i’ll have to settle for reading their blog.

    That would definitely make me want to buy whatever Mutual of Omaha is selling. Next step, Katie’s job.

    Just remember that they also sponsor “Wild Kingdom”…then again I can draw some parallels between that show and what goes in my house on a daily basis. We have a monkey, a tiger, and an elephant living with us right now, all housed in the body of a 2.5 year old boy! Congrats on the brush with fame 🙂
