As you see from this 'Clout' article by Gar Joseph, I will have my hands full for the next few weeks hunting down miracles and you guys will have a front row seat to my personal quest. Some things will have to remain a mystery for now so you tune in when it airs on Travel Channel, but I will give you the inside scoop about the miracles, locations, and how in the world you pack for hunting miracles and what music you bring :)
Believer or skeptic, I hope to challenge your assumptions through my search for evidence and transcendence. We will all be pushed to the borders of human understanding. As many of you know I am a practicing Catholic, but I am sure you have also noticed that I am a maverick and contrarian by nature, so this should be fun. I believe in miracles and as I told Gar, one of the questions will be 'What is a miracle?' In the end, I am sure there will not be tons of answers, but we sure will have a lot to talk about.
Please be patient if the blogging is at times light, which I hope it won't be, but some locations will not have e-mail access. Also, send in guest blogs so we can hear different voices while I am away and you can give me a break one night for me to check out the local scene :) All Miracle Hunter entries will be identified with this picture and we will have a separate section for it as well.
I want all of you to know that Gar sharing this info with others before my family and Citizen Hunters got to hear about it is the exception to the rule, and let me tell you why. When I was 21 and running my first statewide campaign, Gar Joseph, John Baer, and Chris Brennan decided to profile me in the Daily News. I am sure they took some heat for it as I was a complete nobody, but they saw something in me that led them to believe I was worthy of the attention. I have never forgotten that because, while I know I would have made it to TV at some point, it certainly put me on a fast track. It is one of the reasons I joined the Daily News: I have never forgotten their faith in me. I hope I can make them proud with my efforts and adventures. My grandfather taught me that you dance with the people that brought ya and it has been a wonderful dance indeed.

Forget Angelina Jolie and raiding tombs, I'd rather be hunting miracles with you.
(and that would be a miracle in itself!)

I don't know, strategic thinking aside, sometimes it is best to just let things happen as they happen. Be happy in what you do. I am sure she prays about it, and her gifts are many. Perhaps she feels that she can do more good with what she is doing; perhaps it is easier to speak truth to power in her present position. There is much to be said for just letting things grow and develop. Just enjoy the alchemy of life. All of her present endeavors would only make her better and stronger; I am sure she is learning from every situation. I think she is doing fine. Elected or not, she is leading now, and will always lead in any capacity of her choosing. But from what I know of her, she would be a viable choice and I, with others would be proud to be a strong advocate for her in any endeavor.

ok let's get something straight. Just becuase you are stunningly gorgeous does not mean you are going to be an actress. I just had to set someone straight on the Rush post and now it is willy's turn. She is a host and producer of this show. It is exploring very complex religious themes, eucharistic miracles, not fluff! She is probably happy to get that religion degree form Harvard some action. The diff. b/w willy and young whatever his name is, is that WIlly likes to add imp. points to the discussion and is a postive person it appears. I would love for her to run for office, I would vote for her in a New York minute! Maybe she will, maybe like Citizen D said, her experience in Government made her think she could do more elsewhere.
