Dignity at it’s Best!

The last time I was here and  wrote an entry…It was about Oprah and how she inspires me. And today, after almost 6 months of being inactive, I am back, and she, again, is the subject.

I just saw her farewell episode – after ruling the television industry for 25 years and inspiring several million people who tuned in every day to watch her – she finally ended “The Oprah Winfrey Show” with the final show which she said , "This, my last show, is my thank you. It's a love letter to you – my Audience”

I could not have possibly imagined a more dignified way for her to end her show…she simply talked to the viewers, with her life lessons, and credited all that she has achieved to the viewers, and to God! She repeatedly thanked everyone who had helped her through, and who hadn’t….for everyone is somehow connected to each other. This post is just to Thank Oprah for what she has done for me, and for millions of others… I know her ways have paved the path that many want to, and will, follow.

I had several “A-Ha” moments in the last hour of her show. She said some pretty amazing stuff…which stayed with me! She said, “each person is responsible for their lives – and for the energy they create for themselves and bring to others”. Pretty Powerful, huh!

“We often block our blessings because we don’t feel inheritably good enough or smart enough or pretty enough or worthy enough. You are worthy because you are born, and because you are here - and alive! Your being here and alive makes worthiness your birth right. You alone are enough. Feel worthy and own the life you were created for.”

She closed the conversation by saying how her audience has been a safe harbour for her and that she hoped they “will be a safe harbour for somebody else too...their safe place to fall. Do for them, what you all say the show did for you - connect , embrace, liberate, love somebody...just one person...and spread it to two...and many others...and see what happens. I thank you for being as much of a sweet inspiration for me, as I’ve tried to be for you.”

I know we won’t get to see her everyday now….but I also know that she will be back with some pretty amazing stuff…inspiring and touching the lives of many once again. Till then, I want to wish her all the best….and let her know that she made a difference to my life! Because “I will not say goodbye, I will just say, ‘Until we meet again!’” Love you Oprah! Smile
