Oprah's The Life You Want Weekend

Oprah Wows the Audience

Oprah's Weekend Event

Oprah said,
Together - we rise!

Last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to go to this two-day event in Seattle and take a journey to again visit connection, gratitude, intention, resilience, things that matter and present moments.

Oprah and her Trail Blazers Mark Nepo, Elizabeth Gilbert, Rob Bell, Iyanla Vanzant and other guests shared stories, meditations, and we were doing lots of dancing and even exercising. 

We looked at what we want in our life, what our life looks like today, and visions for the future.

Oprah quote "Create the highest, grandest vision for your life. Then let every step move you in that direction."

Everyone's vision will be unique to them and a reminder take away for me was that we are to live our life not someone else's.  Our life is for our dreams, visions, and goals.  

Our life journey is for us to experience and share.

We have the choice whether to keep telling and experiencing old thoughts and stories or create and start new ones. 

It is our journey to find out what matters to us, and what we want to take forward.

Oprah said in a paragraph from our workbook "Every moment you have the choice to open up ... to listen to the whispers and live the way your life is nudging you to live ... to walk boldly on your own life's path."

Are you living the Life You Want?

What are your dreams, visions and goals?

What comes natural to you, what feels like work?

Connection. Intention. Choice. Experience. Purpose. Journey. Moments. Life.

How to show our thanks to Oprah!

I'm like a lot of TV viewers that are wondering what will I do without the Oprah shows.

She has changed the world, and showed us all what one person can do.  A few years ago I sent her one of my books with a letter but then saw that they weren't accepting all the mail she gets.  I wanted to give her something to help her relax and to let her know we are listening. 

My letter thanked her and said how she continued to give of herself to us, to inform, entertain, and inspire us.  How she taught us to believe in ourselves, and that we can always start over and create our best life. I wanted her to know that I went on to do something I believed in.

She has given us so many gifts of ongoing inspiration, motivation, and encouragement to create and follow our own best life, and now we can show our thanks by doing just that.

I'm sure I'll be crying a lot as I watch the last show today, and my tears will be shared with those around the world.  But rather than tears of sadness, I believe they are tears of thanks, special memories, and joy that we were able to be part of and see this last 25 years of change and connection.

Thank you Oprah.
