Pearls from Oprah

The start date of the Brighten Your Light Seminars is rapidly approaching. Sunday, February 26  will be the day when all of my ideas become an actual event. I can see all around me the gifts I have been given to support me in this adventure. My patient, generous and hilarious husband who listens to me endlessly and when he can’t take any more, he makes me laugh. My  beautiful children who are living expressions of the phrase unconditional love. My family who have listened to my crazy ideas my whole life. God Bless them. My brave and patient friends who encourage, listen, trust and go along for the ride. I don’t know how you are all not sick of hearing me talk!

Even with all of this my knees are wobbling a little. I turned to Oprah for a little inspiration on a website of  her favorite quotes. Here are a few that jumped out at me:

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.                          – Henry Ford

If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me.                                                                     –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Change your thoughts and you change your world.                                    –Norman Vincent Peale

In all of this I hope to be someone who pushes you to trust your own vision and truth. I learn so much from all of you. When I see people being brave and true I am touched beyond words. This leads to one more quote from Oprah’s list:

Anything that has real and lasting value is always a gift from within.       –Franz Kafka

Thank you all for the gifts.
