welcome to canada, oprah!

As I walked into Corus Quay this AM, I was greeted by Oprah’s helpers—like Santa’s helpers but taller and better looking—with flowers and a postcard from Ms. Winfrey herself. It’s the day we have long anticipated…how did it get here so soon?! It’s the day OWN launches in Canada! Oprah is finally here.
After seeing her face all around CQ for months, it’s nice to see her smiling, animated face on the TV screen…or the Canadian OWN channel through my computer monitor.

The whole company gathered in the atrium and celebrated with cupcakes, champagne, and more flowers later in the afternoon. Does Oprah know what a girl wants or what? Perfect combination. So glad to have Oprah back in my life again! And so glad my coworkers are once again sane and eating proper meals now that the Canadian OWN website has finally launched.
Fingers crossed Ms. Winfrey will visit travel north and make a visit to Toronto in the summertime!

One of the most inspirational speakers I have watched. Randy Pausch speaks on Oprah to give “The Last Lecture.”
“Never ever underestimate the importance of having fun,” Randy said during his lecture. “I am dying soon, and I am choosing to have fun today, tomorrow and every other day I have left.”
