Your post reminds me of why Oprah Winfrey is such a spiritual person. My wife has been watching her 6-DVD 20th Anniversary special - highlights of her past 20 years. Oprah's heart is wide open. She feels others' pain as her own. And she is brutally honest with herself in front of 20 million people, sometimes appearing without makeup, talking about her weight problems, etc. Very inspiring lady. ------------------------ Yahoo!
