She mentioned it in passing during a discussion on things that creep people out. And that doesn't make her a bad person, it just makes her seem out of touch. (Truth be told, I hate to use facilities other than my own...if I spend a single night in a hotel, I'll wait till I get home to shower...it's the shower curtain that seems to chase you while you bathe that creeps me out!)<br />But she'll be back. Give her time to regroup, reflect and she'll be back like a force to be reckoned with. I can just feel it!Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-2241494118749188892012-04-25T08:54:46.022-04:002012-04-25T08:54:46.022-04:00Isn't that video great?

It happens to all of us at some point. Unfortunately, for people like Oprah, more people notice it. <br /><br />I agree, getting back to the heart of family and personal struggles and being real is where it's at. We women can find ourselves in the midst of our families without leaving our husbands or attempting to do the things we missed out on in our twenties. As you say, "Man up!" or "Woman up!" You show your true self by the sacrifices you make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-78664171223705727902012-04-24T09:53:44.769-04:002012-04-24T09:53:44.769-04:00How hard is it to find yourself?

I don't care that she is best friends with Julia Roberts and next door neighbors with Adam Sandler. Where are the shows about bras and how to be a better person.<br /><br />But what really lost me are all the shows about women leaving their husbands and families to "find themselves"!!! I'm sorry but selfishness is not a trait I think is worthwhile. In my book sacrifice is love. At some point you need to put other peoples needs above your own!<br /><br />Sorry Oprah, I'm out. And sorry Elizabeth for ranting :)Angela Cothranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09243582290698922119noreply@blogger.com
