Oprah

As most of you know, I love Oprah! And the last couple of shows that I have watched have really touched me and caused me to reflect a lot. I usually just post about the girls and what's going on with them, but I wanted to record some of my feelings (more for my own records). There have been two books on her shows- One More Day and Eat, Pray Love. I have bought both of them and look forward to reading them. I am becoming quite the bookworm and can't get enough of these "life lesson" books. I have been spending a lot of time reflecting, asking myself what is important and what is the real meaning of life, and how can I live a better life. I want to love more, forgive more, be a better mother and a better person. I am surrounded by such wonderful people and examples and I am so grateful for that. Instead of focusing on my hardships and trials, I am choosing to focus on love and the things that I have been blessed with. I am learning that all I want is to love and be loved and to spend time with my family. I will have to let you know how these books are-there are always lessons to be learned.
