― Oprah Winfrey
Today's kindness
was huge and arrived just after 7 a.m.
It tried to reach me via telephone and then via text. A very dear friend of mine wanted to know if
I had finally gotten tickets to see Oprah because she had won two free tickets
and wanted to know if I wanted one. I
couldn't believe it. Oprah was in town
for her The Life You Want Weekend. A
die-hard Oprah fan, my friend had bought tickets early on, but also entered a ticket
drawing and, to her great surprise, won!
I had wanted to go ― badly ― but had finally decided that it was
not going to work. I asked my friend all
kinds of questions from whether she had really won the free tickets to whether
they were transferable. My friend said,
"Why do people have such trouble believing that the universe conspires to
give us what we want?" I was
thrilled beyond belief, but decided that I would not really believe it until I
was in the arena where the event was being held. When I arrived at my friend's house, I asked
again about the tickets. (Thankfully,
she takes my doubting Thomas ways in stride.)
She asked me if I wanted to wear a tiara ― yes ― and off we
went. The evening was magical. My friend's kindness continues... We go back for a full day of Oprah tomorrow.
