If the world ended today, would Oprah know about everything she should know about? If I died, I might really regret that I didn’t meet Oprah. . . that she didn’t feature my famous green Jello cake in her magazine. . .that she didn’t even have a chance to hear my opinion about wearing green shoes after St. Patrick’s Day.
She’s got her “things” listed in her monthly magazine, her show full of inspiration and people, but we all know somone who thinks Oprah should know about thier story or favorite thing. This is a blog where the world can begin to archive amazing stuff that has not made it to Oprah. Things that are important to us - the rest of the world. Personally, I was motivated to start this blog because I want peace of mind that just because I have little or no access to Oprah, that there is a record of “I tried to tell Oprah.” She only has so much time, but thankfully this blog has lots of space.
Almost everybody I know would like to go to the Oprah show, be on the Oprah show or provide something to Oprah because they think they are the best nurse, friend, chef, beekeeper, writer, etc. They are constantly saying to me, “If Oprah only knew me, she’d call.” And, this is possibly true.
The Sky Could be Falling - so, let’s go! Let’s tell our stories. Let’s be inspirational. Let’s be funny. Let’s tell the world what Oprah is missing. Let’s tell her about our things and our stories. And, who knows. Maybe she will listen.
Sincerely,
Chicken Little / “Oprah for the Day”

Love this idea, Steph. I think Oprah should review a few humor books, such as mine, and maybe laugh a while with her reading audience.
So, Oprah, please pick up a copy of “Not Tonight Honey Wait Til I’m a Size 6,” Or “Dishing with the Kitchen Virgin,” for some fun and humorous reading.
Best to you,
Susan Reinhardt

I’m really excited to see where this blog goes.
Oprah as a suggestion, can you add Cherry Chapstick to your list of favorite things for 2008 - I’m obsessed with it!

What great courage! Your willingness to risk is inspiring to me. This is more evidence that all of us are smarter than one of us.
