Our local newspaper and news station decided to do an article and segment on my segment on Suze Orman airing this weekend. I think my time on the news here is going to be longer than the actual Suze segment!
I’m happy to talk about the golf tournament as I think it’s going to be a great time for a good cause and I love Suze. I hope more people tune in to her as well. We all can use financial advice no matter where we are in our journey.

Maybe it’s not a new car, a fancy home or an expensive flat-screen TV, but before Fort Mill resident Amy Bennett splurges a little on something fun, she needs to know, “Can I afford it?”
Last week, Bennett taped a spot for The Suze Orman Show’s “Can I afford it?” segment. The splurge she wants to make? A trip to the third annual “Beyond the Lights” celebrity golf tournament in Texas. The tournament, which raises funds for spinal cord injury research, is hosted by Brad Leland and Kyle Chandler, two of the stars of the NBC show “Friday Night Lights.”
Actors and actresses from the show also attend the tournament, which includes a silent auction and concert, and filming for the show occurs in nearby Austin. An avid fan of the show, Bennett runs a Friday Night Lights fan Web site, www.fridaynightlightsfan.com, that offers up-to-the-minute information on the show as well as recaps, blogging about the show and the cast, and a podcast created by Bennett and her partner on the Web site, Kaitlin Mattison.
Bennett has wanted to go to the tournament before, but felt like now is the time to book the trip.
“The network has already said this is the last year of the show,” Bennett said. “So this is probably the last year all of these actors will be together in Austin, so this is it. It’s kind of do it this year or never.”
Jenny from the FM Times wrote the article and I had such a fun time talking to her. We know each other back from high school and I almost forgot I was doing an interview on the phone with her. I think it really came across in the article and am so pleased with it.
Today Diane from CN2 came over for just a few minutes to get a couple sound bites for their segment on tonight’s news. I didn’t really realize I was going to be on camera. I thought it might be one of those they show my headshot or a picture of the show and then just saw a few words about it. I realized just how much I talk with my hands!
