A Blessing
Listening to this conversation re: the 1619 project is touching my heart. I followed the progression of this before it became part of the great American anti “woke” movement. I appreciate the frankness here and in all of the conversations. I often am filled with so many things to contemplate which reaffirm my practices and path. Thank you for continuing to provide guideposts.
Blessing
This podcast has changed the way I think about life. Ive had a shift because of the profound knowledge and insight of Oprah and her special guest. Especially my favorite guest Michael Singer. His book, The Untethered Soul, is life changing. “Waking up” and realizing that life is more than money, success, selfies, who I am impressing has happened because of this podcast. Thank you Miss Oprah!
I am Inspired, Soothed, and Waking up
I love listening to Oprah and the guests she selects. I appreciate the real discussions and depth of consciousness she brings in.
I feel these shows are not only inspiring me, and helping me to learn what I want to access that is somewhere deep inside me, to soothe my fears and concerns about life, and also are helping to wake me up to myself. I have gotten direction to know how to formulate my own walk, and Be in my own life. Thank you!! Love you!!!
