“What?!” you ask.
Actually Oprah and Dr. Robin are quite alright.
Dr. Robin’s book Hungry:
The Truth About Being Full was the topic of Oprah’s Super Soul
Sunday interview. Briefly, they talked
about how Dr. Robin got through a when-it-rains- it-pours experience in her
life - in the midst of having the notion that she was “doing well” and that “everything
was taken care of”:
“Even though I looked alive and
vital, the hourglass measuring the aliveness of my soul was swiftly draining to
the bottom. I was losing my battle to be myself. I was in my prime. My career
was taking off; I was surrounded by loving friends and family. Yet it felt like
time was running out.”
Dr. Robin L. Smith, noted psychologist, ordained
minister, motivational speaker, and best-selling author of Lies at the Altar,
seemed to have the perfect life, but underneath it all, she felt empty.

Now we all
know Oprah and Dr. Robin are great teachers (who rock ‘til
we shine) right? But Dr. Robin proves
even the greatest amongst us go through huge challenges. Watch Oprah’s Next Chapter/Super Soul Sunday

What came
up for me as I watched the interview was 1) to deepen gratitude and make it a consciously daily
experience. And 2) contemplate Oprah’s most profound
question of the interview: “Are you home
now?” What does it mean to be “home” for
me?
Watch
the interview and see what comes up for you.
Thank you for reading.
