Read an Excerpt
“It was one of the most magical moments of my life The following Monday I went back to my day job and a co-worker walked up to me and said, “Congratulations! You are so lucky to be able to get up in front of an audience and speak like that.
Lucky? I wanted to explode. Well meaning, she saw the end result. She did not see the beginning. So many people think you are born funny or not….that you are born a great speaker or not. There is that one percent that are. I hate them too! For the rest of us, it is a process.”

But I did keep in mind what those brilliant Greeks said 2500 years ago,
Be what you wish to seem.”

“This is madness,” I muttered into my helmet. I raced down a dirt road, going 90 plus miles per hours, and at 53 years of age, found myself competing with people 30 years younger. The bike and I roared through the desert, a rooster tail of dust in our wake. 40 miles previously, I took a trip over the handlebars as the front wheel dug into some silt at 50 miles per hour and catapulted me to the ground. Now I was riding with a broken collarbone.

“He asked if I could sing and if I knew Marilyn’s songs. I said yes to both and started to list which of her songs I knew. He asked me to sing, “I Wanna Be Loved By You,” so I did. By now, I wasn’t even nervous. I was comfortable singing a capella. I had never really sang any other way. I had never even sang outside of the shower.”
