what i know for sure about Oprah those who know me best can attest to how much i love and adore the woman that is Oprah Winfrey. she has been a voice of reason, inspiring me to dream big and trust in the divine flow of my life. born in Kosciusko, MS on this day, who could have imagined that she would grow up to become one of the most powerful and influential women in the world. her power comes from her aligning herself with her purpose and being completely herself. she was born for this. my love for Oprah began when i was about 10. although i couldn't fully understand everything she and her guest were discussing, i could still feel the truth was being told, lives were being transformed, and people were waking up to the wisdom that they were not alone.
