New from Diana Ross: Get I Love You on CD or from

A SuperViva Goal to Be On Good Morning America Turns Into a Serenade by Diana Ross!

A friend and avid dreamer, who makes the most of her life by setting goals, awoke at 4am to wait in line at Good Morning America in New York with me and her two kids. What happened just goes to show it's often the unplanned things that are the most memorable...

Read the story below for background. And check out Diana Ross' new CD I Love You (also on iTunes!)

How We Did It

Step 1: Put your goals on your life list, no matter how wild.

Xiomara set a goal on her life list to be on TV. My goal was to be on Good Morning America, with hopes of spreading the word about how a life list can help you do amazing things.

Step 2: Do it.

I requested tickets from Good Morning America. Luckily the show date coincided with some other reasons I needed / wanted to be in New York. I checked my life list for New Yorky things I wanted to do, and combined several goals into this trip including a bagel quest. It was exciting that Xiomara's daughter had a goal to "be president" on her sign.

We made reservations then stood in line until 7am, thankful for the mild winter weather, watching Diana Ross practice songs from her new CD, I Love You, inside.

We got inside, thrilled by our stage-side seats. Tension mounted among the die-hard fans. The kids' boredom melted away with the fast-paced action of this live production.

P.S. In case it wasn't obvious, that was my friend's son who Diana Ross serenaded. Those few seconds of unexpected beauty—Diana Ross singing "The Look of Love" to this little boy—made the entire trip and effort worthwhile.
