Karen, Do you know if Oprah Winfrey of the Oprah Show in the Unites States read you book? I don\u2019t think she did. If she did you would be sitting with Richard Baer right beside her. Switching Time is her kind of thing. I mean she thinks the world of helping children of abuse. Why not you? If she did read your book and not call you personally, shame of her. I lost respect for her. Please give my best to Richard Baer. Great work!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Samuel,<\/span><\/p>\n
I’m not sure whether Oprah Winfrey has read my story. \u00a0I do hope\u00a0that she\u00a0has. \u00a0Dr. Baer had sent her\u00a0two copies of Switching Time. \u00a0Maybe her staff felt\u00a0my story was too intense\u00a0or graphic? \u00a0Whatever the reason we have not been asked to be on her show, Dr. Baer and I simply don’t know. \u00a0It would be nice know her reason, at least for closure. \u00a0I\u00a0did receive a call from one of the supervisors of The Oprah Show but she never called me back. \u00a0I assumed that The Oprah Show was no longer interested. If you believe my story is Oprah worthy, then please write her and share with her. \u00a0If my becoming her guest is meant to be, it will be.<\/span><\/p>\n
I appreciate\u00a0your interest\u00a0in seeing me and Dr. Baer as guests on Oprah. That was very nice of you to think so fondly of us sitting right beside her. \u00a0That would be great! \u00a0It is our hope that we at least one day get a chance to meet with Oprah and share our journey with her. \u00a0Whether to be a quest on her show or not, I would still enjoy meeting Oprah. Unknown to her, she was a very important part of my journey to become one woman.<\/span><\/p>\n
During my many years of healing, I admired Oprah for bringing so many different shows of\u00a0challenge to the world. Many of my alter’s would faithfully watch The Oprah Show. I would get the follow-up late at night during the alters’ conferences. My alters had learned so much about faith, compassion and strength from the many guests Oprah had. I’d like to think much of my healing came indirectly from her.\u00a0\u00a0I have so many Oprah memories. \u00a0More than once I wrote a “Grateful Journal”, sent her letters through an alter for her Time Capsule, and even donated to her Angel Network.<\/span><\/p>\n
Yes, I was a multiple Oprah fan!\u00a0 I felt alive, well, and healed through listening to Oprah and The Oprah Winfrey Show. I thought that some day, God willing, she will see me, just because we\u00a0share many things in common. I have faith that it\u00a0can happen some day. I believe there is a\u00a0reason for everything.<\/p>\n
Please do not lose respect for Oprah on my behalf. \u00a0Oprah has done so many wonderful things for people all around the world, including abused children. Yes, I am one of those stories that may interest her in time. Maybe not at this time.<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concern. I will give Richard Baer your best wishes.<\/span><\/p>\n
