Well, after all the depressing news I've shared, I figured it was about time to share something positive....

Today was a day that I have waited almost 8 months for.... 
Today I finally got to watch  the full 30 minute pilot of our upcoming television show!!!!!
It's still considered a "rough edit" and needs a little tweaking here and there, but oh my gosh am I ever excited!!
It is so amazing how they can take 3 full days of footage, and reduce it down to 30 minutes. I would probably be a terrible editor, because to me, everything is important... lol 
I want to share this with all of you SO bad, it is absolutely killing me not to!!! But, for now, I am told to wait.  I'm like a horse at the starting gate... chomping on the bit!
I will promise you one thing, and that is that as soon as I am able to publicly release the Pilot episode, it will be posted here first.  
The timing of this surprise delivery to my inbox could not have been any better either. I got to hear my (old) voice... as it was....
Hearing my (old) voice stirred up a few emotions, that's for sure. Yeah, it initially made me very sad, but soon that sadness turned to absolute determination.  I will get over this hurdle, just like I have so many other hurdles in my life.  I'm a fighter.
Now, as I go into the operating room tomorrow, I will drift off while I picture watching myself talk, and I will hear my old voice in my head.
Thank you everyone for your amazing, uplifting, and inspirational messages that you have sent me.  Your words and prayers from around the world have been incredible comforting.
Tomorrow, I will wrap myself in your positive energy.
Words cannot even begin to express how I appreciate all of you so very much. 
Sincerely,
Marcia
