An amazing week!
Through the flurry of activity last week, I took some mental notes that I'm just now finding
time to review. Here are my thoughts as my pace starts to settle down a little bit:
Beau Rivage Resort & Casino
I was so impressed with the way the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino handled the "On A Roll"
Premiere Party. Accessibility was not a problem. Wheelchair accessible ground transportation
from Biloxi/Gulfport or New Orleans airports was a breeze. And the wheelchair accessible rooms
were flawless. My guests arrived happy and left happy. I realized last week that the Beau
Rivage can handle any disability related event in the nation. Everything we needed was within
their walls. I would like to invite you to consider the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast and
the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino for your next conference or event and experience a feeling
like no other.
Incredible Feedback
Hundreds of e-mails and voice mails from people who were enlightened and inspired by Joanne
Caputo's film have flooded my inbox! Many of the calls were from people offering new opportunities
to get out our message of inner strength. I invite you to visit the "Talkback" section at
PBS.ORG/independentlens/ONAROLL for a sample.
"Being Oprah, Being Larry King"
"I don't just want to be on Oprah or be on Larry King. I want to BE Oprah. I want to BE Larry
King." Those words have bellowed from my voice in recent media interviews. I truly believe from
the platform of a syndicated television talk show, we could deliver a powerful, popular message
promoting the inner strength of each viewer and the cultural strength we gain by embracing all
of our differences. The TV show will shine the bright lights on the smiles of disability pride
while mixing in a different spin on race relations and inner strength/personal development. It
can involve politics and current events, stirred by a little Justin Dart "Empowerment
Philosophy." The concept has potential and I have been approached! A 'Strength Coach' or Greg
Smith syndicated television show is in the conceptual stage and I'm seeking your input on what
ingredients such a show would include.
Post your comments in my blog under my
most recent submission.
