As I was sitting in my living room watching the first Oprah Surprise Farewell Show… a DEEP sadness came over me. I literally grew up watching the Oprah Show, (I am *31*). Initially I was just sad to hear the news but as the countdown continues a depression has set in but not for me… for my own daughter. I watched as my little monkey is dancing to Patti LaBelle and Josh Groban sing over the rainbow and realized that she is going to miss out on one of the biggest influences in my life… Oprah Winfrey & The Oprah Show!
I remember taping the show when I was in high school… yep on my handy dandy VCR and now I DVR it! Well until today… but my love for Oprah will move to the OWN network I can only hope that her impact will be there for my daughter because Oprah is someone who made me want to be better, do more, and make a difference. Someone who taught me that I am NOT my past and have full control over my future…”You have the Power”. There are so many life lessons that I have learned from her. My only hope is that I can pass along everything that I learned to my little monkey. I want Alexandra to be moved by Mattie, and inspired by the book club
Farewell Oprah Show… Farewell
It’s hard to believe that the Oprah Show is gone. But I guess it’s better to go out on a high note than a low note. Can’t wait to see what other projects will tackle now. I personally, would love to see her doing maybe a weekly segment on the evening news or 60 minutes.
