He is a descendant of Karl Wallenda, who started The Flying Wallendas, and who also is credited with the origin of the seven man pyramid. Nik is the holder of two Guinness Records: one is for the EIGHT man pyramid, and the other is for riding a bicycle 131/2 stories above the ground.
The story I wrote is published in the Santa Clara Weekly. I have been writing for the paper for over two years. See www.santaclaraweekly.com for more information.
Wallenda is scheduled to honor his ancestor Karl by walking over the Grand Canyon before the year is over.
It is nice to be able to go behind the scenes at events like this due to holding a press pass. Nik Wallenda appears to be quite a stable, good role model for his family and he and his wife seem quite close. She blew him a kiss when he was at the point of walking on the high wire at 100 feet above the ground. He watches what he says in front of his children and the children sat well-behaved until the show was over.
Regarding my book, I decided to write about my personal journey over the next two years because a lot is happening in my life that might be helpful and relevant to others. The journal I won in a raffle at eWomen ( a leadership group) is perfect for the daily entries. Stay tuned...
And speaking of books, I expect to be finished with one entitled "Job Interview Body Language" by Michael J. Willson and Karen Kelly so I intend to post my comments next week.
