Why Oprah is My Home Girl

I absolutely love Oprah Winfrey. I’m not talking about loving her in the sense of watching her show every day (of course I do) but more like I would probably be arrested for stalking if she lived anywhere near me. I know everything about her from her birthday (January 29, 1954) to the fact that she was raised on a farm in Mississippi. I will meet that woman one day, and we WILL be best friends. Here are some (compared to the magnitude) of reasons why I love this woman:

1. The Leadership Foundation Academy-this is a school for girls in South Africa that Oprah founded.

2. Oprah’s Angel Network- this network raises money for charitable organizations around the world.

3. The fact that she continuously strives to send a positive message.

4. She came from nothing (literally nothing) and made herself into the most influential woman, and one of the most influential people in the world.

5. She loves cheese

6. She recommends phenomenal books

7. She appeared on my other best friend (Ellen DeGeneres’) show. (Oprah doesn’t do interviews)

8. She takes people to Australia…because she can.

9. “Biology is the LEAST of what makes someone a mother.” –Oprah Winfrey

            -I am a HUGE supporter of adoption (my cousin was adopted from China) and love that someone that doesn’t have ‘children’ in the raw sense of the word can acknowledge this fact.

10. “I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.”

-Oprah Winfrey

            -The title of this blog is explanation enough.

Everyone should love this woman!
