Move over Gwyneth.

My commitment to Gwyneth Paltrow's blog (Goop.com) has faltered. I've strayed and have found a new source of emotional support. A new love.

Oh, Oprah. Yes, the one and only Oprah Winfrey. I always watched her show as a child growing up and I stumbled upon one of her LifeClass episodes recently. The engaging Oprah Winfrey Show has ended but now she's spreading the wisdom and positivity with her OWN television network. And magazine. And website. And newsletters. I don't mind if she takes over the world.


I love positive readings, positive thinking, and positive action. Her website is all about living your best life. And I intend on doing so. So what, my gmail has been overtaken by all things Oprah, and I don't have enough time to read nearly 2% of her newsletters... at least the topics that I have indulged in have been very inspiring.

It's ironic that today I find an email about being burnt out. In this article they even mention an author who wrote a book named, "Tired of Being Tired". The article identifies 5 levels of burn out and I went from Driven to Draggin. I also identified people I know at the dangerous Losing It and Hitting the Wall stages. It's scary when life becomes so negative and you feel like you've lost control of it. See how you can help yourself or others that are struggling with stress. To the Oprah site!


(That could be you or a loved one. Formerly fabulous, but now burnt out by life's stressors.
Do yourself a favour, get help.)

Happy readings,
Mon
