THE ANOMALY OF OPRAH

Oprah's chief gift was her openness and honesty of expressing feelings, or so some would have you believe.  If that were a sole criteria to becoming a billionaire, there would be lots more around, 
Oprah opened previously closed doors for many people; men and women.  Her show brought subjects whispered and gossiped -, now made subjects of pain for so many unless professionals...good ones....were available to them

Despite the vast TV exposure, Oprah was able to maintain a protective setting for those who bared their souls.  She was able to remain gracious and did not let sensationalism seep in to pollute the emotional pathos.

Let's not be too naive.  Oprah did not do this alone.  Yet one must recognize that she chose the people around her wisely, that mark of a great manager.  In all, this lovely woman,  a woman who survived what many others would have given into in total despair, shows the world what luck is really all about:  'Luck is where opportunity and preparation meet.'

There will always be something new in life to interest us even though the new may not be a replacement of what we once had.  I'm sure that it is likely that we will hear about new endeavors on Oprah's part, for all to share.
