Thursday Shoutout is our time to feature those who have given us love on their websites or blogs.  This is our way of saying: Backatcha!

One of my biggest fans and advocates of my work is Celeste McCauley from Guideposts Magazine in NYC. I would simply describe Celeste as the personification and embodiment of the word – JOY!
I met Celeste nearly two years ago when she reached out and asked if I would be interested in sharing a story, in Positive Thinking Magazine which is part of the Guideposts print family, about someone who played a significant role in shaping my life. I said, “YES!” and shared the story of my life with Mrs. Phyllis Lane. (See below)
Now, Celeste has her own insightful and playful blog at Guideposts Mag.  I was just in NYC and swung by the Guideposts Magazine office to do an online interview with Celeste – what a great time & I’m looking forward to possibly connecting and sharing more stories via Celeste + the Guideposts Magazine team.

She has a wealth of delightful knowledge to share and when we were talking in between the webisode shoot she shared a few fascinating online story “alerts” from…

“Stephen Colbert
I think this is one of his most interesting episodes ever. He rarely gets serious. It’s all very heart-wrenching, moving.  I think there is even a glisten in his eye when he talks to Andrew Young about his dad. Then later –- Malcolm Gladwell gets his groove on in “Let My People Go” with Stephen and Andrew.
The whole thing is woven into such an amazing story for his show from start to finish.

Renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer’s fun burger joint in Madison Square Park at 23rd St.  Really great shakes…The hot dog combinations are pretty intricate…Burgers are good. Ginormous lines tho’ at lunch and dinnertime. You think New Yorkers never had a burger before!
