After attending a fabulous Harry Connick, Jr. concert, I had the joy of going backstage to meet and thank him for all of the support and attention he has brought to our beloved hometown, New Orleans.

Having been a fan for years since he played at my sister’s engagement party, I was passionate to meet him. A few road blocks existed.

His New York management agency did not return my calls during the week. I turned to Plan B. When I got to the concert, I asked an usher for a manager. The manager said that no one on-site could authorize my visit. Being persistent, I wrote a note to Harry and gave it to the manager to forward. He was kind enough to do so and I was granted permission.

When we are passionate about a dream or vision, we owe it to ourselves to pursue it. Obstacles exist, people may not cooperate and circumstances will be out of our control. However, when you bring energy, drive and desire to a goal, it is possible to accomplish almost anything!
