Oprah Winfrey has influenced so many people in the last 25 years. She is an amazing, intelligent, caring, loving and generous individual. Her last show aired on Wednesday,May 25th, 2011. It was very heart warming and touching and I never cried so much in one hour. She has a gift of making you feel like you are the only one that she is talking with, even though we know that there are millions tuning in at the same time.
She has had amazing guests in the last 25 years of her show, but the one that has touched her life the most is Mattie Stepanek. A 12 year old boy with a rare form of muscular dystrophy who had appeared on her show to read some of his poetry. He helped her realize to appreciate even the smallest things in life. When Oprah was ready to retire from her show 5 years ago, he convinced her that she should go for the quarter of a century career, that it was a perfect number. She sweetly named him an angel boy and a messenger for our time. The day Oprah announced the passing of Mattie, it was one of the saddest moments on TV I'm sure, she did it with such class and love, I will always remember it.
The following link is Oprah telling us that we all have a calling in life and that we need to embrace it. It doesn't mean that it will make us famous and bring us lots of dollar signs, but if we open our hearts and mind, we will feel this within our soul and live out our true purpose on this earth. We all have gifts and we are all special, once we realize this we need to grasp this opportunity and go for it...we only have one life to live so lets live it well...
Here is Oprah in her final sign-off of her show. It is very touching and from the heart (get your tissue).
She is such a down to earth person, she has even given us her personal email address to write to her and she promises that she will be the one responding to each and every one of them. I have already written my email to her telling her how she has made my life a better one...she is an amazing individual that has changed and made this world a better place.
Here is a special song written especially for Oprah, by Paul Simon...very nice....
Here is her personal email address:
