A Thank You to Harpo Productions and Oprah Winfrey
During one's life, there are moments which touch the heart. There are
moments which inspire us to continue with our paths, dreams, goals, and
intentions. And there are moments which confirm our "humane
actions."
Several years ago, as I watched television, I witnessed a severe act of
kindness. A woman who was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi., raised on a
farm, a victum of physical and mental abuse, who ran away at 13 (only
to be turned away from a juvenile detention home), walked on national
televison and told an audience of single parent mothers, "pack your
bags and call the babysitter because we're going on a vacation to
Philadephpia."
The women in the audience had devoted their entire lives to raising
their children. Most of these single parent mothers hadn't had a
minute to rest since the conception of their children. Most of these
women worked to pay the babysitter. And I'm sure that a majority of
these women could use some rest.
Well, since then, the acts of kindness and compassion have continued.
This abuse survivor initiated a campaign to establish a national
database of convicted child abusers. She has been a big player in the
literary industry. She encourages others to take one small step to
make a difference in the lives of children. She has provided a better
education for underserved students. And, she encourages victims of
abuse to "speak out."
And more recently, Oprah Winfrey has again touched my heart and
reconfirmed that I'm walking the right path by educating her viewers
about the HIV - AIDS Pandemic.

So please remember:
It doesn't matter what you've been through ....
It doesn't matter what your age, creed, ***ual orientation, economic
status, or location is ..
It doesn't matter what "you think."
It only matters what "you do."
So see what you can do - "Today!"
Thank you Oprah Winfrey.
