Today marks both.
The beginning of summer vacation and the end of the Oprah Winfrey
show. Ok, the eyes are rolling and there is an audible groan - I realize some
of you have already quit reading.
But for those of you left – let me reflect on both for a
minute. As summer approaches I am always particularly nostalgic as my kids wrap
up another school year. I find
myself thinking about how fast the year has gone and how bittersweet it is to
watch them grow older. How I wish I could slow down time and simplify
things. I’m keeping my fingers
crossed for this summer.
Then I think about Oprah. Now, I’m not an Oprah junkie but I have been known to start
a sentence or two with, “On Oprah today…” (at
which point my husband officially checks out). What I find myself thinking about is that she’s been on
air FOREVER; I have watched her here and there for over 20 years – talk about
time flying by! I remember
watching after class in college; I have read a few of her book club books; I
know I’ve done some sort of detox diet she’s endorsed once or twice, and I even
know someone who went on the show for a makeover – so I’d say we have a history.
I honestly don’t watch that often but when I do she
consistently impresses me (not because she gets guests like crazy Tom Cruise
jumping on the couch- although I hear
that was a good one) but because she seems to be genuinely pursuing her
dream – all the while trying to make the world a bit better for the rest of
us. Something we bee good gals could
take note from. We have often
remarked about how much we enjoy it when people come into our booth and they
say things like,” this booth just makes me feel good” or “your work makes me
happy”. Truly, it is an honor to
think that we may be able to bring a little joy to someone’s home. So we’ll keep pursuing our dream and
hope to make people smile along the way. The only bummer is, now I guess we won’t get featured on her
“Favorite Things” episode.

Thanks Laura! This looks super cute and like a perfect summer project for the kids. Pipe cleaners, tissue paper, glue gun - throw in a little glitter and we've got ourselves a party.
