Oprah's My OWN Show-The Zen Mom

So a few weeks before the deadline, I find out about OPRAH's Search for the Next TV Star -Your OWN Show.  She's teamed up with Mark Burnett for the reality show and the winner will get their own show on her new network OWN set to launch on 1/1/11.

How exciting! I never thought I would audition for a reality show since I can't really sing, dance, and I'm kind of private, but My Own Show.  I would love that!

I debated over and over whether to enter, the clock was ticking!  You had 3 minutes to tell them about yourself, your passion and your show.  I love TV and believe it has the power to inspire, educate, entertain, and give people a voice and I've always wanted to be a part of it.

First I tried taping myself, when the kids were napping.  That didn't work so well. Then finally this weekend I got my husband, my kids, my mother-in law and other moms to help. So I finally submitted an audition, but it was on the last day.  It took forever to load and I had to answer pages and pages of questions.    It didn't show up on the website right away, so I didn't know if they even got it.  I've been anxious for days, but finally today it was uploaded.
So here it is!  Check it out!

I should find out by the end July.  In the end they will pick 10 finalists for the show, at least one finalist will be chosen from the top 5 online vote getters (top guy at 8 Million+ yikes) and the rest will be up to the producers.

So the lesson learned is, don't procrastinate. I know it's easier said then done. If you want to do something, just do it.  Thinking without action, just made me dizzy.
I'm just glad I did it.  It feels good to focus and finish something and going through all that has inspired me to get some other things done.  Next challenge.  To clean my closet. :)
