    people say alot of things about Oprah, but I love who I think she is, she inspires me so much. I think she is a legend.

    This woman is amazing.  She was put on this planet to rescue our spirits.  Look around..........we're losing pcs of our soul everyday.  She's much more than the worldwide fame and immense wealth that is just a small part of what she represents..  Hear her message.  There's true power in it.
