Like Josh Groban sings in All I Ask of You, my head is filled with talk of summertime, love, joy and huge gratefulness with the promise of a fourth year as a Brand Ambassador for O, The Oprah Magazine. I can’t wait to share another wonderful journey of the adventure of a lifetime with an amazing group of people that represent the best and hottest Magazine of the year! It was a dream come true the first year and I had no idea it would be the greatest moments of my life for four years! My first feature in the Oprah Magazine was for Trauma Yoga and helping empower women who were sexually and domestically violated. Since, I have helped many people with PTSD from suicide, school shootings, 211 Broward counsellors and Exhale to Inhale. I am on the Board of Connected Warriors as a Brand Ambassador, teaching free yoga to Veterans to help with PTSD and lower the suicide rate among our valued Veterans. Call me anytime, I would love to assist you or your group. There is a suicide hotline available for anyone too. 1-800-2738255.
I love Oprah’s Favorite Things and have been honored to receive them every holiday, it’s about the journey and not the destination, however some of the destinations have been so amazing I will never forget them!The joy and grace OPRAH BRINGS to a room and life is emotional, raw, and inspirational. I was chosen to model for Talbots on the Oprah and Gayle Girls’s Getaway Hal Holland America Line cruise to the Bahamas. When we were on the cruise, my BFF Sheri Turechek said her book club was reading Educated, by Tara Westover. Oprah interviewed Tara on the cruise and Sheri and I went crazy! She even got an autograph of her copy of Educated!! I was also chosen to interview Oprah, and asked her how she handled the social media comments that are not always so positive. I was having a rough time myself with the snarkey comments of people I knew! “When you gain oxygen, they lose oxygen, let them go.” Thanks O, I did. I watched Oprah christen the ship, two live shows in the LED lit from wall-to-wall theatre and shared drinks in the lounge with Gayle King. YOU have to believe big in your dreams even if no one else does. You are blessed and a child of God, and listen tot eh whispers that guide you to yur highest self and potential, and beyond!
I found the support and social media inspiration from the # OMagInsiders and partners that advertise and share their products for us to share our opinions are truthful, authentic and from our hearts! The cruise with Oprah and Gayle and the Oprah Magazine staff, repping the best clothes and being featured several times in the magazine have enhanced not only my life but the lives around me and even followers I don’t personally now but feel like I do! The connection from the Oprah Winfrey show to O, The Oprah Magazine and the future of Oprah2020 on tour is palpating in my heart and coming off my keyboard like an opera and as sweet as the sounds of Josh Groban. Perfecta! Thank you to all of you and my OMag family. Namaste.
