"Wall of Gratitude" is my object of inspiration for the week. If you tweet you may have seen a few Friday night tweets with the hashtag
Some amazing quotes also come out of the show, i.e.:
"When you don't show up as who you are people fall in love with who you are not."
"Love doesn't hold you hostage to yesterday."
"You're responsible for the energy you broadcast."
Oprah's Life Class gives you homework in preparation for each show which airs in the evenings & then they post all the answers online for everyone to see & reflect on... something like this:
Today's #oprahslifeclass
The concept of a "wall of gratitude" had many of us who tuned in Friday night brainstorming about how to incorporate this into our lives. Thanksgiving shouldn't be the only time of year we reflect on the things we are grateful for in life.
How often do you allow yourselves to stop & reflect on gratitude? I'd love it if you shared your own experiences with acknowledging gratitude.

I didn't realize that was the sort of things the classes were about...what a wonderful concept. So many of us are stuck in what I can only call a rut, myself included. This post has me thinking...thank you for that!
I've seen the show in the Guide but never tuned in. I will after reading your stream of consciousness today. Sounds like something I'd really like to get involved in. Thanks for the enlightenment about it.
I do get a flu shot every year. Working with kids taught me a long time ago to get that shot because I hate being sick. Sure, sometimes I still get sick, but I don't think it's as severe. Everyone will always have their own opinion about it.
The flu shot thing is something I debate about every year and my outcome is never the same.
I will have to look into the Oprah thing...Sounds like a very helpful tool.
I have to admit that gratitude is a big part of my daily life. It helps keep life's little stresses in perspective. I hosted Thanksgiving the year before last. We had friends and neighbors over and it was about 15 people. I took the time to write each person a little note about why we were grateful they were in our lived. I used each note as their placecard. I enjoyed doing it so much!
