Oprah is leaving next week and I am sad! She has been a huge part of my life especially during the time when I transitioned from being a retail business owner, to a professional speaker. I remember back in my early days of speaking, when I worked alone in my home office, anxiously waiting for 4:00 PM because that was when Oprah came on.

As the book began to develop ,Meredith helped me organize my thoughts and very soon after took the lead and became co-author of The Seven Women Project. Continue reading
