Always the right time to say yes to opportunities
Thoreson
My daughter and I were talking about saying yes to opportunities that are sometimes scary, wondering if you’ll look foolish if it’s not something you know you can do well. A few of those times when someone else saw something in me that I couldn’t see turned out to be wonderful.
After starting part-time in the classified advertising department at the Coeur d’Alene Press in 1986 and becoming an account executive, I was promoted to weekly newspaper publisher/editor at 39 and have continued to write this weekly column since 1990. In my 50s, I became a morning radio personality when a KXLY VP called and asked me if I was interested in filling in on air. Not long after, I was hired as a regular in the mornings. Later in my 50s, I signed with an agent and became a commercial actor appearing in the background of movies filmed in Spokane, television commercials, print ads and even on billboards from SEATAC to GEG and along Interstate 90 and U.S. 95.
