The Host of a TV Show I Watched During My Childhood Always Said, "You Are Special Just The Way You Are"

The host of a TV show I watched during my childhood always said, "You Are Special Just The Way You Are"

Who said this?

You will get to know as you keep on reading this edition of the newsletter.

Throughout your journey of connecting with people, you meet people of diverse backgrounds, knowledge and skills. Likewise, I met an amazing individual and had a fascinating conversation with her and she is Marianne Lauren, an actress, author and creative genius.

Marianne's story is about being surrounded by artists of different nature from her childhood and she had a dream of getting in to Hollywood. She told me that, during her childhood, she was taken by her parents to watch "Cleopatra", played by Elizabeth Taylor. After watching the movie, she thought that this is for me and that's how she was inspired to get into acting and now she says, that her dream is to act with Robert De Niro.

When Hollywood did not work out for her, she started her own YouTube channel and was really passionate about it. She begins planning the content on Mondays and to complete an episode it takes two days, Marianne said. Her husband assists her in the filming, production and editing of the episodes. Now, it has converted into a full time affair.

Even though Marianne is at an early stage of her YouTube channel, "Ambrosia for Mind, body and Spirit", the story of her transition towards YouTube after the story of Hollywood not working out well, is an inspiration. Marianne has also authored 3 books and on the verge of completing her fourth book, her creative genius is something that many creators can use.

Even though I didn't get an opportunity in Hollywood, I am still acting, loving what I do and still having fun, Marianne said. Marianne is expressing her creativity through her YouTube channel.

The most fascinating part of the story begins now...

Marianne said she used to watch the "Mr. Rogers' Neighbourhood" show done by Fed Rogers and she said she grew up watching this TV show and Mr.Rogers has written this book titled "A World According to Mr.Rogers" which she showed me during our conversation.

Fed Rogers hosted a children's show and in this show he always says, "You are special just the way you are", "I like you just the way you are", by using words such as "like" and "special", Mr.Rogers was able to get into the minds of the children including herself, Marianne said.

"I believed him when he told me I am special", Marianne further said. She also said, that her parents were wonderful and received plenty of love and support from them and Mr.Rogers said she is special over the television.

Marianne was inspired to kickstart her YouTube journey by this story.

And here's the best part.

She aspires to get chosen by PBS to continue Mr.Rogers' work and she is passionate about doing so. When she said this, I saw the passion, enthusiasm and love in her to continue the work carried out by an amazing individual she looked up to during her childhood.

"Mr. Rogers used the word like and I would use the word love", Marianne said.

I am using one of the statements Marianne made during our conversation to wrap up this edition of the newsletter.

"I don't care what colour you are, I don't care what religion you are, I don't care what political agenda you have, I just love you. I accept you just way you are"
