the end of an era
I just heard the news. Oprah is ending the show. I never thought this day would come. I have always liked Oprah--there are people who do not, I get that but she has always inspired me.
I watched her show everyday in college, it was the only downtime I allowed myself and I grew to love that woman. I haven't watched her show in sometime since we canceled tv but her story will always stay with me.
What a life story; starting out in poverty and abuse and being able to find her own greatness and rise to such heights. It gave me hope. Not that I would be famous or make millions or have a following; mainly that my past doesn't have to define my outcome and boy did she prove that.
Funny how little things can make me stop and evaluate my life and my goals. My goals have certainly changed since I first bonded with Miss Winfrey. I no longer strive for career recognition and success but I continue to desire self-improvement and greatness. It just happens to take form as world's best wife and mommy.
Here's to you Oprah!
