Do You Love Oprah?
I have had an on again/off again relationship with Oprah over the past 5 years or so. I went through periods of time where I watched her show almost every single day. And I was very interested in her final season because it was so big. But now she has her own (OWN) network and I am nearly over it. There are maybe two shows that I enjoy and the rest seems like it falls short. I know many people are enjoying her LifeClass series. To me, it seems like a remake of past shows. And now she is going to do yet another show, although going outside the studio rather than bringing her guests to her. We'll see if that's interesting. Again, on again/off again with Oprah.
Here's the real thing though. Oprah often presents herself as so real and understanding of people's difficulties. And I believe that she truly cares. I love that about her. However, in the next breath she seems to enjoy showing viewers her multi-million dollar homes, her expensive furnishings, and the lavish gifts she gives to those she loves. That seems so much in contrast with the meaning behind her show.
I always loved her O List at Christmas. Who wouldn't want to be in the audience receiving all that great stuff? I would! I looked online this week to see if she has a list this year. She does. It seems filled with very expensive soap, VERY expensive pajamas, and other lovely items that so many of her viewers could never afford to buy. I just didn't get it this time.
Oprah, I'm just not feeling the love right now.
As a side note, I saw Stedman in the San Jose airport several years ago. He is just as tall and handsome in person as he is on TV. Swoon.

Give people free dental work, free clothes, a few roofs over people's heads or pay off their debt. She used to do things like that and I'm wondering if all of that just got left behind when she no longer had a show to talk about it.
I watched the last three years faithfully. Mostly I enjoyed the interviews no one else got!
Kudos to seeing Stedman! Swoon is right!
xo, misha
The problem with being one of the 1% is you forget that the 99% can't afford anything but a $10 nightgown.
But I wish she knew what her goals were or what she wants to do. She seems to be all over the place these days....perhaps she needs to look within herself and decide how sh wants to spend this second half of her life.
She doesn't need to work for money anymore. She has no dependents to leave all her wealth to.
So why is she working and what does she want to do with her life?
