        I like the show too, but seldom get to watch it since we don;t have cable or reception. I have always been interested in ghosts and have even searched them out, but have never seen or experienced anything. I have spent hours hanging out in a few of the haunted places here in Colorado, but nothing so far. So not sure I believe yet or not. Would love to have an experience someday.

        You should go for it for those of us, like me, who are searching. We need you to show us the way

          Evie, put your Big Girl Pants on and GO FOR IT!!!!

          What's to lose?

          1) Your sobriety- albeit a big thing- you can't hide in a closet and protect yourself from any possible stressful situation that may come your way in life. That's not just reality. If it's not an amazing opportunity like this, it will be something on a smaller scale that may be the stresser that sends you back to the bottle. We just need to learn coping mechanisms, such as the MWO website ! Besides, you said the work is second nature to you.

          2) Your anonymity- well, true you may be seen living in your full potential, using your God given gifts to their full advantage. But, people will admire you for this. Not only your abilities, but because you recognized and had the courage to use your gifts to their fullest.

          As one of my favorite philosophers, Zig Ziglar says, "Obviously, there is little you can learn from doing nothing"

          Good Luck to you and let us know what you decide!

              Evie, What are your instincts telling you? Yes you can do this and you know you can. Be proud they have offered you this chance to shine. Be all that you can be...and more. The alcohol demon is telling you differently NOT you or your insecurities. You will get past those easy hun. Don't let the beast win. You have too much to give and share hun. DO IT!

                Oh Evie, one more thought came to mind. It is a quote that I can't remember exactly but it is about taking a risk and it goes something like:

                You've got to have the courage to go out on a limb sometimes because that's where the fruit is!

                  Evie,

                  You probably already intend to do this, but just in case, I would be sure to have an attorney look at any paperwork before you sign it. I would be sure that the agreement contains a clause that "indemnifies", you, personally, of any potenital liability. Just a thought... Go, Girl, Go! :cheering: I assume that they will pay all of your traveling expenses (and Hubs???- is he your assistant? :bigwink:??) All they can do is say no. If they are making your travel arrangements, I would be specific about your level of acceptable accommodations and travel. Oh yes, and be sure to get that in writing.

                    YEAH!!!

                    Can't think of any questions myself, but my boyfriend and many other friends are in the entertainment industry and if you want me to bounce anything off of them just let me know!

                    Best of Luck! I just KNOW you're going to do great!

                      Evie can I just say one more point here. You haven't even got the show yet and you're already building the possibilities up in ya head that the stress will cause you to drink. Don't think that far ahead or plan in your head that this is a bad thing. This is a good thing so be positive about it. Listen to that wonderful hubby of yours. OK?

                        Thanks Best,Those are important things to ask and it all happened so fast and without warning.I am caught off guard..Glad you brought up about Hubbies traveling expenses.We always close the Inn and travel together.It would cost us a fortune to do that on a regular bases.Maybe if we filmed only early week days when the Inn is quite.Our busy season is coming up(Thanksgiving thru Easter).We have never been apart for more than a day,in the last 8 yrs....Not sure that I would want to travel without him..Maybe for a day or two but no longer..They haven't talked money yet so I don't know how tempting it will be..Gonna call my Lawyer to give him heads up..
