I don’t know how long I have watched her and loved her – I just know it’s been great. I love Oprah and her spirit. I love how she totally has exposed who she is and continues to be so honest with the world about her inner most thoughts. What courage that takes. What responsibility she has with all her resources. She uses them so well. There is not too many people in the world that could be entrusted with what she has and put it to such good use. I love people who are an inspiration by just being themselves. That is truly inspirational. That’s what I am looking for in myself – to be an inspiration to me and my family and my community. I know it starts at a micro level – at the level of the self. Many days I am successful, some days not as successful. I know I have in my heart the intention though to love ….. to love myself, my family and others I meet.
It’s people like Oprah Winfrey that inspire me to want to give more and be more. She has provided a platform to bring other inspirational people into the public arena and that makes an enormous positive difference.
Thank goodness for the likes of Oprah who make life meaningful. Great meaning paves the way for great possibility and opportunity. I love that Oprah opens my mind up to what is possible….to have me think “What is possible for me?”. I’m not sure what the second half of my life will bring. I just feel like I want to keep expanding and exploring, being inspired by others – famous billionaires like Oprah and generous, beautiful souls like the cleaner I met at a recent business event who bought me a drink because he was just a lovely man who wanted to give me something. Well, I received that drink with great appreciation, just like I receive love and generosity from a beautiful black media personality I have never met.
