Oh my.... I was having dinner and decided to check my email. I wanted to scream when I read the heading at restaurant. I immediately texted my son and wanted to cry. We are going to LA to be on the Wheel Of Fortune! For weeks, we waited and waited, but told myself to "get ready!" Every chance I got, I played the WOF App. I often fell asleep with my phone in my hand and would wake to play or respond to a Head to Head game. ðŸ¤
Then the day came, my son and I were at Sony Pictures Studios! It was a dream to be a contestant, and to have my son with me...! 😲 I felt doubly BLESSED. It was a long time desire of my heart, with one of my HEARTS. Being at Sony was the most surreal feeling. I felt special and privileged to meet and be greeted by so many wonderful people. Treated like a star, I could have cried when we actually walked into the taping studio. The wheel, the puzzle board, the set design, the sound of the wheel was breathtaking. I touched the WHEEL! I met Vanna White. I talked and stood next to Pat Sajak in his last year! Oooooh my .... am I still here? I will NEVER forget this experience. It meant so much to me. So close....yet life changing. Now, I am so nervous and can't wait to see Carson and I on TV. I am planning a WOF Watch Party with my family and a few close friends.
This experience and opportunity allowed me to see what's GREAT about America. From behind the scenes, I saw how the Wheel of Fortune brings families, culture, and dreams together every time the show is aired. It was SPECIAL and that's why EVERYONE loves to watch, WHEEL OF FORTUNE..!
