Making Your Peace ...

The article appearing on Time's website this week about Oprah apologizing to author James Frey got me to thinking about relationships in general, and poor relationships in particular. Thanks to Living Oprah blogger Robyn Okrant for bringing this story to my attention!

Don't wait too long to patch things up with someone you may have drifted away from. If you believe, like I do, that there is a specific purpose for you being here on earth at this time and place, then the people you are here with must also be very important to that purpose. Whether it's an old high school buddy that you just sort of lost contact with, or a family member that you fought with 10 years ago and haven't spoken to since, make an effort to reconnect. Something as simple as a note - "I've been thinking about you and wishing things were different between us" might be all it takes. Don't wait too long. You never know when it might become too late.

Thanks for being here and now!

I meant to say I love you
I wanted to say I cared
But now I can only think about you
And hope you can hear me out there

Who are the "change makers" in your life?

I love Oprah! She is, of course, one of my favorite resources for BYBLBY ideas. I'm not sure that I love her enough to follow all of her advice for a whole year, as Robyn Okrant did for the entire year of 2008, documenting it in her blog at http://www.livingoprah.com/. But I do admit to being a loyal viewer of the 10-week online class she did with Eckhardt Tolle last year on his book, The New Earth. And I also admit that I LOVE DR. OZ!!!!!

So you will probably see some of Oprah's ideas here, along with those of many other people. I'm curious to know - who do you see as a change maker in your life? Whose advice do you follow religiously, or maybe even just sometimes? It might be a parent, or a sister, or a celebrity, or a co-worker. Tell me all about it, and give me an example of the advice you have followed from this person and where it led you.

Thanks for being here and now!
