Oprah

I can believe, but I also CAN’T believe, that after 25 YEARS Oprah Winfrey will be ending her super-popular talk show.  She made the big announcement on her show Friday and I was crying right along with her.  I CAN believe it because she is probably ready for some much needed time away.  I just personally CAN’T imagine not spending time with Oprah every day.  She is part of my daily, much-needed “me time.”   I TIVO her show and I watch it after the kiddies go to bed.  I always end up smiling, laughing, thinking, or tearing up.  I have bought a lot of books because of her.  The Oprah Winfrey Show makes me want to live a better life.  She, and her multitude of guests and experts, teach me how to be healthy, live for the moment, be a kinder human being, and be a better mom.   I always count on Oprah to interview every cool celebrity. She also introduces me to amazing people living extraordinary lives.  I will miss her.  At least I have until September 2011.  I’m sure there are going to be some amazing and memorable final shows.  I’ve already told the hubbie I want tickets to one of the final tapings as my 40th birthday present.  I will be crossing my fingers.
