I Started Sharing Some Thoughts on TikTok
It was time to share some relationship musings.
A while back I was talking to a guy that I know. He’s a marketing and PR visionary who lives in Manhattan. He’s a frequent contributor to national television programs.
“Colleen,” he said. “You are the shoemaker’s daughter. You’re an expert in your field why aren’t you doing what you know you should be doing?”
“I don’t want to get on television looking like this,” I joked.
“I get on television all the time with my double chin,” he said.
He’s a handsome guy. He was being self-deprecating. He wasn’t wrong about me. I have a marketing and PR background. I transitioned into a relationship writer/expert.
I knew I should be promoting my work.
I also knew something else.
Years ago I was a contractor at an NBC affiliate. Camera work isn’t necessarily about how someone looks. It’s an energy from within. The camera either loves you, or it doesn’t.
The end of my marriage, and my divorce had taken everything out of me. I don’t mean strictly physically. I mean emotionally too. My light was gone. I was (as I often say) dead inside.
