i don't know how
to thank all of you for your supportive and encouraging words
from yesterday's post
~
because of you
i have been lifted up
~
did any of you get the chance to see oprah's last show yesterday
where she spoke directly to the audience in her studio
and
directly to us
~
i cried. i laughed. i cried some more.
it was incredibly powerful
~
she hit some of my hibernating and sensitive nerves and set me on fire
~in a good way~
~
there were so many quotes she shared with us
and
like a fool i took messy notes and wrote as many of her words as i could
in a notebook
{only to find them all on google this morning}
~i should have known~
~
anyhow
i want to share two of my favorites with all of you
~~
"you have to know what sparks the light in you,
so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.
you have the power to change someone's life"
~~
and
this next one might be my all time favorite
and
as a gentle reminder to myself and to my loved ones
i think i want it on a plaque hanging outside my office
~~
"you are responsible for the energy you bring into this room"
{this is actually a quote by dr. jill bolte taylor who is one of oprah's favorite people"
~
so again
thank you
all of you
for supporting me the way you do
~
you're all amazing and i'd give anything if we could all spend a girl's weekend
together
on the beach
~
and
oprah would say
"well. if you dream it and believe it and put energy into it. it will happen."
gosh
i'm going to miss her
*
happy memorial weekend to all of you
