Blessed

You know...there are days when you just feel so blessed.

I've been doing this podcast now for almost 8 months now and there are times when it just floors me how into it some people can be. I mean, it honestly is an amazing feeling to know that there are people out there, all over the country (and even the world) who feel this connection with you. Who are so excited to meet you because they've been listening to you...and who you are, in their minds, I guess...a sort of mini-celebrity. It's kind of weird to think that these people are so excited to meet little old me. I'm just a dweeb who loves Disney...oh...and I happen to have the opportunity (and the drive) to talk about it weekly and happen to broadcast it over the airwaves.

Like I mentioned...it seems that just recently, things have started to grow exponentially. Here's one of the things that just floors me...we have a fan created Facebook group now. It started a few hours ago and there are already 4 people who are members. People want to chat with us, so Mike started a chat room and we're gonna schedule days to talk to people. We may even have a live show at some point! And ever since we got put on the Mousefest website...I've continually noticed our numbers gradually going up. This has the potential of being even bigger. And it's just so surreal to me.

My hope though...is that all these fans don't feel like I did when I met Lou Mongello of the WDW Radio Show...nervous, even though I know there was no real reason to be nervous. Because I'm just me...and I hope that that's how these people see me too. But it's also kind of weird to think that people could potentially be nervous (and definitely excited! I can't tell you how many are so excited!) to be meeting little old me. The girl you all know and love and probably think is a big goofball. :)

I really try to keep my geekdom in check in my life...here included. You all know that I'm a huge Disney fan...but I never truly let myself geek out as much as I could. (Trust me...I could probably be a lot worse! lol!) But I know I'd never really talked about all this with you before...and I wanted to let you in on a little of what I was thinking, simply because I can't believe it's actually happening. So thanks for listening. I really do love you all! :)
