Talk about it: Lessons from Oprah

This was quite an eventful week. The tornadoes in Joplin, Missouri which caused a lot of destruction and death and the end of the 25 year era of the Oprah show. Neither of these events can be compared and we certainly send our thoughts and prayers to the people of Joplin. Everything fades when there is loss of life. 

On that note, I am glad that the Oprah show ended on a somber note reminding us what really matters. It is not the money, the fame or the lifestyle.....it is the power to make a difference no matter who or where we are. No matter what we think about Oprah and her philosophy, we cannot deny that she touched millions and made a difference in so many lives with her generous spirit. That is something we can all admire. Here is what my friends had to say about Oprah on Facebook

    Jo Know what ur gift or talent is because the passion within u will wake u up each day and go for it - the result is that u will affect people positively... i used to cry when - i watched her show because of the stories told but the people used to leave there encouraged and full of hope. GO AND CHANGE THE WORLD WITH UR GIFT. Also the wow ..of the gifts she gave.. give and it will come back to u...
