When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I was fascinated by music and television. All I dreamt about was getting the opportunity to work in an industry that moved pop-culture in some shape or form. I was such a flake in a lot of ways - didn't care about what was happening in the news, was consumed in Hollywood gossip and my hair was what I spent the most time.
Landing a gig at a major music television station which ultimately led to a job as a record label executive was the ultimate for me. Working several years promoting some of the biggest artists and their records from the late 90's to the early millenium, I can truly say I had some rockstar experiences. What will go down in the history books are nights we all piled into Tommy Lee's limo and the tour that made me the fifth Black Eyed Pea.
By the time I got married and later pregnant with Stefano, I was ready to begin a different chapter in my life. I experienced the height of my career at the moment when it was acceptable to stay young. I felt then and still feel now, that I had it all.
So playing with stickers and play dough isn't quite as glamorous as escorting multi-platinum selling artists down a red carpet but it's certainly and indication that I grew up and found meaning.
DO I have regrets? Maybe. Would I change anything? HELL-TO-THE-NO!
