O-spiration!

Look at that face. It reminds you of the face of an aunt or mother. It could be the face of your successful sister you've always looked up to who was always there to give great advice. She knows the best clothes to wear, the best books to read, the best restaurants to frequent, and all her friends are educated and fascinating. That is how I like to think of Oprah, as that cool big sister to millions.

The Final O-Moment
It wasn’t a studio filled with big-named celebrities, there were no flashing lights, no cars or fancy trips being given away, it was just Oprah.  After 25 years the queen of day-time television said goodbye to the audience of the Oprah Winfrey show, millions of viewers who tuned in everyday to witness a show that generated hope, passion, validation, and change for so many.  In her final hour Oprah decided to leave the world with what I’ll term-Ospiration, tidbits of her truths, her knowledge, her wisdom, her hopes. 

Oprah Winfrey is a prime example of the slogan “Anything is Possible. “  Since the start of her career she’s broken the box of containment.  Despite hearing you’re too big, too dark, to this or to that, in her career she found a way to fit, she also found a way to create a large platform of success for herself as well as those around her. 

In a sense Oprah’s last show was a call to arms for everyone watching, regardless of age, race, career field, or life history.  Amongst her love notes to the world, she stressed the importance of taking responsibility for your life,  figuring out what you were called to do and getting about the business of doing it.  She stressed that when you're called to do something, "it lights you up, and it lets you know that you are exactly where you're supposed to be, doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing." In her message she stressed how each person has their own stage, no matter how large or small, of people to reach, and that you must allow your life to speak for you.  What she wanted the world to receive from her show was to learn to "live from the heart of yourself"-....to know "what sparks the life in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world."  Thank you Lady O for illuminating millions around the world with your light.  We appreciate you.  Continue to let your light shine as we continue illuminating the stage with the light we've been given.
