OK, so I have been HORRIBLE about keeping the blog up to date this year (like I said I would) but in my defense, this Mom On The Go HAS been very busy. Allow me to explain.
In June, I quit my assignment editor job at Action News, sold my Jacksonville home (the boys' first home, where they grew up) and moved to the Denver area: 2 kids, 1 dog, no money, no home, and no job prospects (not for a lack of searching). The 3-day drive out here was rough, the month-plus of job searching and house hunting has been brutal. The weather has been hotter here than we suspected. This native Floridian misses Jacksonville almost every day. But I am adjusting and it helps that my best friend was already out here and she is just a short drive away if I ever need to talk.
However, more than a month later and I am still without a job.I apply for at least two jobs every day and I have had a couple of interviews but so far no luck. Even so, the available openings are not for positions I really want. Despite my age, I really want to be a TV host. I don't have much experience in it but it's always been a dream of mine. I always tell people I want Mario Lopez's job on "Extra."
So after much soul-searching (and talking to a friend who says that even though we are thousands of miles apart he can help me make a demo reel) I am going to pursue my passion. I know I have a lot against me: I am a bit late to the game in more ways than one, I don't have any current work and my old radio and video reports are on VHS or cassette tape. (Can anyone out there help me digitize them please?) But that same friend filled my head with the idea that my dream is STILL possible and I know anything is possible. I'm going to push forward and see what happens.
I am going to start blogging regularly so check back often. I'm going to find my old work and post it and create new videos. I've created a new Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LisaGKohlbrenner) and a new YouTube channel will be coming soon too! Please let me know the kind of video topics that you would be interested in watching as I am looking for ideas on what interests viewers. Also, I am looking for any help I can get financial or otherwise (We have zero money right now). If you know anyone in Colorado who can help me launch my career or even just help spread the word and get my name out there, please let me know. You can email me anytime at lisa@kohlbrenner.com.
I appreciate you reading this and any advice or support you can provide. If nothing else, please keep me in your prayers. Thank you.
