What I Learned from Oprah?

“A Night with Oprah” –  January 24, 2013 – Vancouver, BC

Somethings are meant to happen… that’s beyond our control… it’s not for me to question, but to accept.  I was fortunate to go see Oprah live in Vancouver.  By the time I realized that she was coming to Vancouver, tickets were sold out.  One week before the event, my husband was playing hockey.  After the game, a teammate asked him if he would be interested in an Oprah ticket.  Can you believe that?  My husband sends me a text to see if I was interested.  As it turned out, I was already in Vancouver for a conference.  In the end, we got the ticket for half price.  I could not have planned it better myself.  I am grateful.  What did I learn from Oprah?  Three BIG ideas for me… (1) Listen to the whisper… (2) Don’t be a people pleaser… and, (3) Get a job that pays you to be yourself.  There were many lessons shared that night, but these 3 seemed to resonate with me.  My translation… listen to your intuition, don’t give your power away, and be your authentic self.  Thank you Oprah.  Thank you hockey buddy.  Thank you Universe.
