I'm a Baby...an Oprah Baby

If you know me, then you know that there a few things I absolutely adore in life.

These better be in heaven: green apples, Crystal Light Strawberry Energy, NASCAR, Tevas, sports bras, hair plops, and...Oprah.

I'm just dumbfounded that ironically (aka~blessing from God) that coaching ended in time to catch the last 3 shows of this amazing lady who falls just short of the Holy Trinity in my life.

I grew up watching this show after school. It was perfect timing. It was bonding time for Momma and I and created mature dialogue for us.

 At UVA, I did my class schedule around it. 

I may have argued and attacked my AP English teacher for how insane she was to think that my thesis topic of 'Oprah Winfrey's Affect on American Society' was lame. Needless-to-say, I wrote the paper and got credit for the class at UVA.

I submitted my name countless times on her website for different show topics.

Before the first time donating my hair, I actually received a call from a producer and was interviewed.

We are both left-handed.

I secretly love her magazine and have taken it from gyms.

She had a knack for presenting the diverse realities of this world and tapping into my internal conscience. I have a thirst for her wisdom.

Moral of the Story: Simple. Contrite. Real. Full.  Oprah's words bite and grasp my heart as they speak truth to me. I look at Oprah just as the eyes of a child looks at her mother. Yearning.
