Later this year I'll be celebrating my 24th birthday, which pretty much means that Oprah has been in my life since I can remember. My mom is a big fan, so every day after school, it was always on. Reflecting on all these years of watching now, I don't think I ever realized how much she has shaped a part of me...the part of me that I strive and want to be. It's amazing how a woman with her background has risen above all of her hardships to became such a grounded, generous, warm, and caring person, but it doesn't stop there. Even through her fame, she's always been real with her audience and a truly selfless and giving individual along the way. She's a person that was not shaped by fame, but who shaped fame into something of purpose...a way to give back and influence generations. If that's not inspiring, I don't know what is...
Well, tomorrow marks the last show of Oprah; will you be watching? I know I will...
On another note, does anyone know who will be taking over the Oprah time slot? Whoever it is, they have some pretty big shoes to fill.
