Karen?????<\/span><\/p>\n
What will you do now that Oprah is ending her show and you haven\u2019t been invited????? I assumed you are devastated by her show ending. Why in the world she never had you on her show leaves me puzzled? Are you angry at Oprah? What do you think of her now? Do you think she will reconsider your story and have you and Baer guest? I wish she would. I would be so happy. I know your story would help so many more women.<\/span><\/p>\n
I love you, your the best inspirational person I know. A true live real hero of a woman with strength, grace and a rare jewel willing to put yourself in the past to help. Thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n
Happy Thanksgiving, Karen. I am thankful you are in my life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Dear Renee,<\/span><\/p>\n
No, I am not devastated that Oprah hadn’t chosen Dr. Baer or me to appear on her show.\u00a0 I am actually happy for Oprah. She had worked very hard for over twenty four years and, as she’s stated, twenty five years is the perfect time.\u00a0For a\u00a0quarter of a century\u00a0Oprah chose to help\u00a0millions grow in spirit, faith, and wholeness. That\u00a0includes me. I would love to meet Oprah someday, and if not as a guest on her show, maybe afterwards when she has time for breakfast or lunch. I would love to meet her and share what an inspiration she has been to me.\u00a0I believe\u00a0through witnessing\u00a0Oprah’s courage time and again as she\u00a0revealed and shared her painful past, she\u00a0inspired me to seek help and not be afraid to share.<\/span><\/p>\n
My story continues on and has already helped thousands\u00a0who have suffered from childhood abuse. Switching Time<\/em> has sold\u00a0thousands of\u00a0copies and continues to grow\u00a0at a slow and steady pace. What’s most important to me is to know that I have healed, have survived multiplicity, and am able to share from my experiences. I am proud of my work with Dr. Baer. When Dr. Baer wrote Switching Time<\/em> it was my\u00a0wish to reach out and encourage hope through sharing my story.\u00a0Our goal was to help people recognize early symptoms that are clearly present but often ignored. I believe Switching Time<\/em> has accomplished that. Knowledge is the key.<\/span><\/p>\n
I’m hopeful and believe my story is meant to be\u00a0shared, whether on Oprah, or not, my voice\u00a0continues to be heard in many venues, including here through my blog. I am grateful for small steps. Maybe one day Oprah will call. I would truly love to hear from her. <\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for all your kind compliments, especially for loving me, having faith, and believing in me.<\/span><\/p>\n
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! I am thankful for all those who continue to support my efforts to share in order to help others. <\/span><\/p>\n
