Oprah's Big Give

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a huge Oprah fan. Love, love, LOVE my Oprah! I have posted below the video of the "Big Give" that friends did for us after being inspired by Oprah. In the video you can see my wonderful son saying "Oprah is Mommy's Fairy Godmother."

It isn't a joke. I watched Cinderella with him several months ago and we got to the fairy godmother part and I explained that a fairy godmother is someone who magically shows up in your life when you need them and takes the everyday things around you and transforms them into things that can help you achieve your dreams and goals. If that isn't Oprah, I don't know who is!

When I needed to lose 100 lbs. there was Oprah talking about not eating your feelings away. When I wanted to be in a committed relationship with someone, there was Oprah telling me you have to be content with yourself first.

And now in the great turn of events, she inspired friends to help our son get his biomeds. She may not know me but Oprah truly is my fairy godmother! Thanks Oprah and thanks everyone who participated!
