To God Be the Glory
..
i share with you some notes I took down as I watched the last “oprah show”
…
“What i know for sure from this experience with you, is we are all called and we all have a calling and your real job in life is to figure out what it is
and do your business doing it.
a calling lights you up
it lights you up and tells you , you are doing exactly what u should be doing
…
what sparks the light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world
depth and reach . you allowed me to do . you let me in your homes
each one of you has your own platform
mine is a stage and a studio . yours is wherever you are with your own reach
wherever you are – that is your platform your talk show
in every way and every way you are letting your life speak for you
you receive in direct proportion to what you give
you could forgive. listen. heal. you have the power to change.
the power is the same. every body has a calling
mine aligned with my profession. my job. not everybody gets paid for it. but everybody gets called
it may be your listening.
we are all confused about fame vs service in this calling
you carry what ever you are
find out what you are supposed to be doing and carry it forward and don’t waste any time
use your life to serve the world
“please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.”
all life is energy and we are transmitting it at every minute
the world is responding.
we are all energy
newton
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
..
“everything you done to me
already done to you”
..
golden rule
do onto others as you would do to others
..
intention.
..
full force. it comes back to you
you are responsible for your life
don’t wait for someone to save you or complete you
the root is all the same
common thread that runs through all of our pain, suffering
unworthiness. feeling unworthy
difference between thinking you deserve to be happy vs. knowing
you are worthy of happiness
what i got we often block our own blessings because we don’t feel good enough or worthy enough
you are worthy because you are born
and because you are here
your being here
makes worthiness
your birth right
you alone are enough
..
bullies and batterers all of them are masking the same thing
a sense of unworthiness
people wanting validation
every single person wants to know “do you see me”
do you hear me
does what i say mean anything to you
understanding that one principle that everyone wants to be heard has allowed me to hold microphone for you
with least amount of judgement
to do that with an open mind and heart
try it with your children boss friends
validate them
i see you i hear you
what you say matters to me
…..
a gift to serve all of you our viewers
my team and jesus. nothing but the hand of god has made this possible for me
the alpha
and omega
the ultimate consciousness
the source
the force
the one and only

i know i have never been alone and you have neither. that presence flow is working with you .closer than your breath. is yours for the asking
i felt the presence of god my whole life, even when i didn’t have a name for it
i can feel the voice bigger than me speaking to me
be still and know it
with every decision
i wait and listen
for the guidance that is greater than my meager mind
god is
love
god is
life
your life
is always speaking to you
subtle whispers
pay attention to whispers. it gets louder
what are your whispers in your life
what is whispering to you
your life is speaking to you what is it saying
….
oprah@oprah.com
what you have to say matters to me
only divine order here
….
it is no co oincidence
i grew up to feel genuine kindness trust affection kindness trust
from you whose names i will never know i learned what love is
you and the show have been the great love
of my life
…
gratitude is the singlel greatest treasure
the opportunity to do this work
to be embraced by you
all sweet no bitter
we have ugly cried, and done our gratitue journals
i thank you this yellow brick road of blessings
gay and otherwise
every day thank for the opportunity
to god be the glory
