My tearful goodbye to the big O

Being so dependent on my PVR, i only got to watch the Oprah finale last night…


A bit behind the rest of ya’ll, I finally got myself to watch the last of the last… (because i was postponing it for quite some time and i’ve been living in denial about the final show since it aired in the US in May!)



Dressed in a classic soft cream-coloured dress that reminded me of Jackey O, the big O said her final goodbyes in episode 4561.





Filled with needlepoint truisms – ‘Do unto others as you would have others do unto you’ – she keenly emphasized the social issues she has focused on over the years.


Nearly 30 000 guests later, she had not one single guest on her final show. It was just Oprah. Alone. Talking to me. A very one-on-one moment.



A lot of pearl-clutching and wiping of tears (luckily no ugly-cry moments)…but then also fun chuckles at the hairstyles and the Southerness that is Oprah herself.



Luckily for us, The Oprah show is still being (repeat) broadcast in South Africa, courtesy of our oh-so-behind-the-times national broadcaster - and we thank them for that because the 18h30 slot on SABC3 will never be the same…



Oprah, you’ll be missed!

Yes, i’ve been working through what, in my life, is probably the most difficult, heart-shattering break-up i’ve ever experienced. Not that there have been many, but there’s never been one of such significance to me. Why do i say that? Because for the first time in my life, i truly LOVED someone unconditionally. But why did it fail then, you might ask… Well, in short - love needs to come from both sides. If you are the one giving all the loving but not getting any in return, things are bound to fuck out big time! During the honeymoon phase, I’d say “i love you” and he’d say “i love you back”… Then as time passed, I’d say ...

There comes a time...

There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living!
