No reservation this time

Dear Oprah show -

Boo.

I didn't get a reservation this time. Although I am sad, I will not be discouraged. I will check the website every single day for an opening. I KNOW that I will be seeing you this season. I WILL be in your audience! :)

Oprah's last season

Dear Oprah show -

Like thousands of other viewers, I want to attend a taping of a show during this last season. I've tried to call and sign up online over the past several years, but wasn't dedicated to the cause. I pray my name will come up in the lottery. I have a good feeling about this!

In the words of Meredith Grey on Grey's anatomy... Pick me, choose me.

I am sure my story is like many others... I admire Oprah. She's a true hero and role model of mine. Her drive and ambition along with her heart and compassion is truly inspiring to me. It makes me strive to be a better person.

Live with Purpose

Dear soul searcher -

"Live with purpose"

That's what I have been subconsciously doing for a long time - at least as far back as when I was pregnant with my first kid. Before then, I was just gliding through life without a thought or care about what was I was going to do with my life. I feel like I've been struggling to find a purpose or find MY meaning of life...why am I here? what am I supposed to be doing with my life? what inspires me? how am i supposed to use myself here on earth? what is my spirit all about? what is it that my soul is trying to tell me?

I've spent countless hours trying to work through this. Over the years, I've read books, magazines, blogs, websites; I've consulted Oprah, my real life friends, my online friends, my family - but I haven't figured it out. I understand that it's a journey...I get that, but if I could get some focus, that would be wonderful.

I attended a training session today at work about Life Balance and Time Management thinking that I could do a couple of things: 1) get training points that will apply to my Individual Development Plan and 2) continually work on my time management skills (I LOVE things like this! - geeky, I know) - all FREE @ work. How cool is that?! And what am I faced with once again??? "Live with Purpose", "Create a Mission Statement", "Get Inspired" etc.

I mean, seriously, the universe is trying to get my attention. I GET IT!!! I am consistently presented with opportunites to try to figure myself out. I notice them. I pay attention. But, I am just not figuring it out.

If anyone out there can help me on my path, I'm open to suggestions. I love this journey, but I'm REALLY ready to be heading down MY path now.

all ears,
kath

Mopeds and highways

Dear Moped driver on Lynhurst and Sam Jones Expressway around 11:30,

I hope you made it to your desintation safely. That was me 2 cars behind you going 25 mph on the exit ramp. Yes, I was frustrated and I'm sure you weren't having the best experience of your life since it is 19 degrees out there today...you surely were freezing. I was more concerned about your safety and health than I was ticked off. Next time, please find back roads that you can safely travel at slower speeds. Thank you very much.

Love,
kath

p.s. i did try to take a picture but then quickly thought about how mad oprah would be at me if i whipped out my blackberry to snap a photo while exiting on the ramp...
