Final Father-Son Weekend

This weekend marks the end of an era. After some 16 years of coaching our kids in sports, it will be the last time my husband coaches any of them in a basketball game.

Tonight the Liberty Christian Warriors varsity boys basketball team play for a spot in the TAPPS 5A State Championship game. Frank Kornet is the head coach; Luke Kornet is the 6'10" post and a senior co-captain.

I'm sure it will be an emotional game. However, I promised all male members of the Kornet family that I will NOT make a peep from anywhere but the stands. I will also remain seated. I will NOT pace the sideline screaming.

In other news, I'm officially two weeks in on my 12-week Pilates pledge. I've found my energy again, am getting enough sleep, and am truly feeling fabulous. Plus, I LOVE the people I'm getting to know at S2S Functional Performance.

I also had a spectacular time emceeing the Go Red for Women luncheon at the Fort Worth Convention Center today. I invited 3 super successful, heart friends/collegues to join me, which made it all the more special.

I'm feeling exceptionally blessed today.

And if the boys pull out a victory tonight at 9pm in South Arlington, I may just have to call this The most Fabulous Friday in History.

That Little Blonde Girl

The first week of my first tv anchor job, my milk came in ten minutes before the start of the early morning newscast. My newborn daughter was just three months old. I recall standing in my nursing bra and skirt in the tiny station bathroom, frantically blow-drying the massive wet spots from my periwinkle Casual Corner blazer. That little girl turns 25 this Friday. One of my most vivid memories of Nicole Elizabeth’s childhood-- of which there are millions-- was her first day of 7th grade in a massive middle school outside of Dallas, Texas. We had moved mid-year from Phoenix, and her dad, little brother and I were walking Nicole to her new classroom. Her future classmates were sitting on the floor outside, lined up against the hallway, waiting to leave for P.E.. As we approached, one little blonde girl shouted, “New girl, sit here!” Another joined in, “No. Sit here!” And another, “What’s your name, new girl?” I was stunned--flab...

That Time I Was Almost a Pop Star

Anri's Circuit of Rainbow music video (That's me on the right!) It was what I'd always imagined life would be like as a big-time singer. The massive, metallic stage opens like Moses parting the Red Sea...the recognizable guitar riff blaring throughout Tokyo's legendary Budokan arena. Five of us dancers on pedestals of varying heights, box-step and bounce...summoning the tens of thousands of screaming Japanese fans to get louder. Anticipation builds with every "Come on!" Let's go! Get it up!" we declare. Finally, the beloved Anri dances on to the stage...and the crowd goes wild... The year was 1988. I had dropped out of college for two semesters after a fighter-pilot-older-brother-of-my-high-school-friend told me he "saw Americans working" at Tokyo Disneyland . "You should go do that, Tracy!" he said, standing in my family's Tampa, Florida kitchen during Christmas break of my sophomore year. I called nearby D...

What? He's Becoming a Priest?!

I haven't enjoyed the reaction to a story like this since my feature on the 55-year-old grandmother trying out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders! And the topic couldn't be more different. Brett Metzler, future priest The strong response this time is to the story of Brett Metzler, a 20-year-old, former Athlete of the Year at Liberty Christian School in Argyle, who left Texas A&M after his freshman year to join the priesthood--and how the number of young men joining the priesthood is WAY up across the country. The story is the most shared on our station website with 6,000 likes so far. And yesterday I received an email from a Mrs. Judith Verrier in the archdiocese of Washington, confirming the same thing is happening there: Dear Ms. Kornet, Thank you sincerely for your recent article on seminarians and the priesthood, which casts a positive light on all that is good about the Catholic priesthood. I can ...
