Comments on: Was Oprah Talking to Me? /oprah-talking-me/ For moms who aren't ready to trade sushi for hot dogs. Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:12:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: kim/reluctant renovator /oprah-talking-me/#comment-1878 kim/reluctant renovator Wed, 01 Jun 2011 03:01:05 +0000 /?p=2151#comment-1878 I have to bookmark this post, because you grabbed all the quotes that I've been trying to hold on to since that episode. I hadn't watched Oprah in years, but when I saw her last show, I suddenly felt like I'd missed so much. I think she did a great job seemingly talking directly to each of her millions of viewers. And though some of what she said was standard motivational speaker fare, she was so believable. I've been imagining people in homes across America having conversations with their friends and loved ones, sharing their need to listen to those whispers for better or worse. ("I'm going back to school." "Let's get married." "I want a divorce." Who knows?!) Lovely post and I can't wait to hear your news!

Lovely post and I can’t wait to hear your news!

I repeat that Opra expressed in her farewell that we all have a Platform. When you have Children, they are your calling. The years go by quicker then you think. An example: My eight year old Grand daughter informed me not to buy her anymore Princess, Dora or things that she considers too babyish. My six year Grand son lets me know that he is into Star Wars and Space. It seems like yesterday that she was playing dress up with Princess Clothes and my Grand son loved Elmo and that Monkey. All Mom's have to install in their children that they are special and help them grow into honest, caring, responsible individuals. What could be more important? A very lucky person is one who finds the career or whatever it is that interests them. However the Children must come first because there is no repeat performance. Don't miss special days at School because later on, you will be sorry. I know I am. The message here is that Moms should not be so hard on themselves. Time goes by and there is plenty of time. When the time is right, you will know it. I love what your wrote.
