To all of you who easily detect problems and have amazing solutions, thank you! The rest of us admire and are blessed by your thoughtfulness.This attempt at making a "thriller", shot primarily within the west San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, is intended to create suspense in a viewer, but sentimentality that lurks upon the sidelines quite often usurps the scenario, and while generally suitable for the plot line characterizations, it also serves to soften the film's narrative effect, principally due to hackneyed elements that mottle the tale of a police detective's endeavour to defend himself against the stratagems of a professional assassin.

When the evening ended, I publicly thanked the soundman and asked the others to join me in showing my appreciation.

The evening went well, and I could move about the stage with my hands free to help communicate my keynote thanks to the ingenuity of my Everyday Hero. One lady fitted me, and the battery/control box for the microphone now had a secure home. He’d taken a one-inch-wide, black Velcro strip and made a belt. He’d developed, or instead constructed, a solution. No big thing, and I continued to chat with arrivals and make new friends.įifteen minutes later, the soundman approached me. Oh dear, so I resigned to using a stationary mic. But when the time came for the soundman to attach the battery/control box, I discovered my dress didn’t have a waist or heavy material to clip the unit. I forgot though to pre-request a wireless earpiece microphone that would allow me to move about freely and show expression when needed. A checklist had prepared me with an early arrival, comfortable shoes, a memorized speech, smiles to make the ladies feel comfortable, and a dress that unpacked without a single wrinkle. I was scheduled to speak at a ladies’ event in another state.

I treasure these people, and I strive to add their perception and intuitiveness to my character traits.Ī few weeks ago, I encountered an unforgettable everyday hero, a true angel in disguise. When they encounter a problem, they roll up their sleeves and help find a solution. Everyday heroes are kind, considerate, and compassionate.
