I don't know, I don't know what 14 00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:48,800 you call that a little peek at something different and I'm 15 00:00:48,808 --> 00:00:51,400 going to go old vintage. I think I bought this. 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,900 When I first moved to the city, it's an old Dolce & Gabbana 17 00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:57,000 shirt. That's got to be close to 20 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,200 years old. But I always loved tuxedo shirts 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,200 because they always made me feel a little fancy. 20 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:08,600 So today, I want to read a section in my book about things, 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,900 not going according to plans. Now, any of you who have 22 00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:16,600 followed me for a while, may know I have not had, I have had 23 00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:21,800 a plane crash. In fact I didn't have just one 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,600 plane crash. I had a second year later. 25 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,100 And about eight years after that, I had a third in between 26 00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:35,300 all that, I had what you call an incident, if you're with the 27 00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:39,600 FAA, which is a crash to anybody who's been in the incident. 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,300 But to the FAA, they call it an incident. 29 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,200 So I want to read to you because a lot of life is not going 30 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,000 according to plan these days about life not a going according 31 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,500 to plan, I'm reading from my book, The Silver to speed Ian's 32 00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:56,500 Playbook. This is me. 33 00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,900 And I don't have on hot pink eyeshadow, which I wanted to 34 00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:02,400 wear because I want to just change things up. 35 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,200 I decided for these future readings, I'm going to dress up 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,900 and have fun like I do when I'm on set because I am also a model 37 00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:14,500 with wilhemina, which is a very great privilege in my life that 38 00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:19,300 didn't happen till I was 57. But man, I appreciate it and I 39 00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:22,100 really miss it right now because it's really fun to be on set 40 00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,200 with all the Fantastic people that you get to me. 41 00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:30,700 But today, I'm reading about life, fun, not always, according 42 00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:33,200 to plan. Now, I have to kind of wreck my 43 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,000 outfit a little and put on my glasses, please don't perfectly 44 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,900 match, but they're the only ones I have handy. 45 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:46,400 Plans don't always go the way we plan on October 10th 1981. 46 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,900 I went flying in a small plane for the first time in my life 47 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,100 our flight plan was to take off from the airport and fly only 48 00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,300 about 73 land miles to have breakfast in Montauk. 49 00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:05,200 The very end of Long Island, which is as close as you can get 50 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,400 to England. It was a sunny morning in New 51 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,200 York. Well, enjoying the views from 52 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,100 the sky. Over the Westhampton Shoreline 53 00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:25,700 it suddenly got very quiet. The pilot who was the only other 54 00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:31,700 person in the plane. Besides me very softly said, oh, 55 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,700 You can guess what? That word was. 56 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:45,000 By the time he calmly said at the third time, I understood the 57 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 sudden silence was not just the peaceful Skies. 58 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,600 The engine of the plane had failed. 59 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,300 Keeping us. Cool. 60 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,500 The pilot quickly gave me a job to do with some simple 61 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:04,400 instructions. I followed his structions very 62 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,800 carefully as I thought about the moments, in my life in very 63 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,200 rapid succession. I also remember thinking that 64 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,700 moment. The time wouldn't be so bad. 65 00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:23,600 I didn't feel like I owed anyone, any big apologies. 66 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,800 But I did wish I could have told my parents and a couple of other 67 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,700 people that I really love them. At the time this was happening. 68 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,300 I was 20 years old. I did feel peaceful. 69 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:43,900 As the pilot search for a place to land. 70 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,500 I remember following his instructions and my mind just 71 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:55,200 clicking away on moments of my life and deciding if it was my 72 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:02,600 time to go, that would be okay. Ultimately, we landed in 73 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,600 airstrip in at the Westhampton Air Force Base. 74 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:12,600 The pilot actually made an amazing Landing yet the front 75 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,600 wheel of the plane. Came down over the front wheel 76 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,300 cracked off. And so it caused the propeller 77 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,500 to hit brush. That was about thigh high and it 78 00:05:23,508 --> 00:05:29,000 got tangled in that brush. So the plane flipped yet, we 79 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,300 both walked away. Thanks to him staying very calm 80 00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:37,400 under pressure and to a very responsive United States Air 81 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,700 Force crew. That immediately came to our 82 00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:43,700 rescue. So why am I telling you this? 83 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,900 Life does not always go according to plan. 84 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,100 Sometimes you can have whopping crashes, crashes that you 85 00:05:56,100 --> 00:06:00,100 created and crashes that you have nothing to do with it, but 86 00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:08,700 you just have to deal with. yet, hopefully, if we get to live, We 87 00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:12,900 can figure out new routes new ways. 88 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:19,600 New ways to go on with living and although that crash was 20 89 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:26,500 years ago. 20 years ago, excuse me, 20 years ago, I was 20 x. 90 00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:30,200 Let me correct that I was 20. I'm 60 now. 91 00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:36,300 So it was 40 years ago. I remember it vividly and I'm so 92 00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:42,000 glad I got to live those next 40 years because I got a lot 93 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,300 happened. And it's all been good. 94 00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,700 It hasn't always been perfect. Let me assure you of that. 95 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,500 But overall it's been far better than the alternative which is 96 00:06:54,500 --> 00:07:00,100 why I'm grateful to be aging and getting older and facing 97 00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:04,600 whatever it is we're all facing. So, I just want to thank you 98 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,400 again. I'm Diane gracel. 99 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,600 I'm also known as silver to speed Ian's. 100 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,300 I'm the author of the silver dispute, Ian's Playbook, I blog 101 00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:15,900 everyday. I write about what I think about 102 00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:21,100 what I feel, what I feel deeply in my heart and I want to share 103 00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:24,200 their my meditations. I don't have it all down. 104 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,600 I don't have it all. Perfect. 105 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,300 I Stumble all the time. But you know what? 106 00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:32,500 I get up the next day and I'm enthusiastic about trying again. 107 00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:37,100 And so if you feel that way even just a little, I hope you start 108 00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:40,300 to join me on this journey because I love the conversation. 109 00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:43,400 We're having having thank you very much. 110 00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:47,200 Again, Diane gracel, also known as silver disobedience.
