My draft entry... Alex's Mega Challenge
Courage Mom: December 23, 4:30pm Eastern; replay at CourageMom.com
Morgonn Bryant, my mom, deserves for her story to be one of the six veteran ’07 finalist for Teleseminar Secrets (SM) Mega Challenge. Recently, she confided in me that she felt she didn’t have much to offer anymore.
I produced Courage Mom to demonstrate to her that many folks have plenty to learn from her. I emailed my modest list of 1500 subscribers. I created an event on MySpace.com/howardcampbell which led up to a “2nd Annual Holiday Jubilee”. I had 58 people on the call. My mom was thrilled. I was pleased with myself for giving my mom a really cool gift, what Mom described as: “the most beautiful present anybody has ever given me.” All was good…
Until the cop knocked on my door.
A listener called the cops on me thinking I was in the process of killing myself. Mom nearly drove off the 405 Freeway just south of LAX.
I may not deserve to win. I didn’t even sell anything. I was attempting to manifest a magical holiday gift for my mom. I felt more like the magician’s apprentice in Walt Disney’s Fantasia; the phantasmagorical mess I created took several days to calm down.
A Courage Mom listener mistook my online blogs about Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night for the play/movie Night Mother, where Sissy Spacek tells her mom to have courage, right before she killed herself.
No other entry will have struck as many emotions as deeply as my entry for your consideration. From a hyperbolic perspective, this was an international incident. From my mom’s perspective, a glorious afternoon quickly became a nightmare. As for me, suffice it to say the call didn’t end as I had planned…
My mom is a courageous, creative and beautiful woman, a single parent who did the best she could raising my older sister and me. This talented woman:
➢ Was Anthony Robbins' 2nd publicist
➢ Got Luke & Laura on TV Guide (the first time ever for a Soap Opera to be featured on the cover),
➢ Doubled the attendees to Gordon Bizarre’s seminars
As a mom she has even more impressive credits. She got me…
➢ Into the pilot session of Bobbi DePorter’s Super Camp,
➢ Blessed by both the Dali Lama and the Karmapa, and
➢ My very own pony.
"Courage Mom" ==> I was referencing the scene in Wag The Dog where the soldier couldn't be home for Christmas and wanted his mom to know he was safe and for her to have a Merry Christmas.
Mom, I love you. That’s what this was all about.
To everyone else involved, I am sorry for the inconveniences I created. I am grateful for the love everybody demonstrated. Sometimes, I want to be loved a little less hard and from a safer distance.

How did you score in that contest? I inadvertantly broke the rules because I wasn't supposed to enter, but I got my score and was pleased, especially since it was my first teleseminar.
