Well did you hear it? It occurred at about 4:00 PM today, ladies and yes, some men all began to cry as there companion of the last 25 years called it quits.
Yes, the Oprah Winfrey era ended today, with the long time Television icon giving her viewers a one women last show. Oprah was her usual eloquent self as she proclaimed mixture of reminiscing and life lesson she has gained as a result of her twenty-five years of coming into our homes every day.
Winfrey, spoke of her humble beginnings and how amazing she found it that she had come so far and that her life has been touched by “God’s amazing Grace.” My seventeen year-old daughter was almost in a panic the lasts few days. First, she kept me abreast of the number of days remaining and she would run out of her room into my office telling who was now performing and what they were doing.
I have to admit that the last few years, I would catch the program from time to time but I was never a hardcore fan sitting at home waiting for four o’clock. But I did and do respect the heck out of this media icon. When I had my program I actually tried to get her as an interview. I failed, I got tony brown instead. Do get me wrong we were a PBS based program, and Brown was a great interview, but he’s no Oprah.
Wifrey spoke most poignantly about we here audience gave her the courage to face some her personal demons. Specifically the fact that she had been molested as a child, but the audience gave her the strength to face it for the first time. Oprah took thorough so much and we have changed her and she has changed us and in my humble opinion for the better.
Oprah not sure where you go next but Thank you and may God Bless You!!!
