The dismal, grey, and WET Monday afternoon did nothing to dampen mom and I's mood as we flagged down a yellow cab. I slid into the back seat and told the cabbie, "Harpo Studios at 1058 W. Washington please." Recognizing the name and address he replied, "You going to the Oprah show?"
YES!!!!! We were!!!! In a crazy last minute whim on Friday I was called up and offered two tickets to the very next Monday's taping of Oprah. The ladies sitting next to us, as we waited to enter the studio, had waited for two years to
get tickets! Mom and I were both excited to get a chance to experience a more close look at our cultures "Oprah craze." Everything from the security to get in the building, to the hundreds of lights and cameras in the studio, to Oprah being so down to earth, (casually talking about her size 11 shoes and uncomfortable, shimmery shirt prior to the filming), was fascinating.
So what did I learn from it all??? Well, one person can sure make a difference in this world (both positively and negatively)! I was also reminded that each and every one of us has unique, special, and even incredible stories to share.
If told, who knows how they may impact our world?!
