Dear Oprah

I've just seen a video at TMZ where you are signing some autographs and the reporter asks you about Kelly Ripa.
It only makes me think one more time that I would love to have you as my actual friend.
You are kind, gentle, a person who isn't afraid to say what you think, but always in the kindest way.
Love

Dear Oprah

I wish I had my mom here with me to give a piece of most needed advice.
Or an Oracle. Or a very sincere friend.
A woman once I called a friend died last night.
She was not much older than me and she died during her sleep.
I like her family and I have good memories from the time we shared together so I believe I should go to her funeral, right?
On the other hand, I haven't seen her or her family for years and when my mother was sick and later when she passed away nor she or her husband or children came to my mom's funeral.
So I ask myself, do I really need to go to hers?
Deep inside me there's this woe that few people cared when my mom was sick and I was all alone taking care of her.
Few people offered me a shoulder to cry or a hand to help me.
And God, how lonely I felt.
But I have to tell you that Selma's husband or children will not be lonely at all.
They are part of that group I was once, PV, and being part of it, they are never going to be alone.
Why am I not part of this group anymore?
Because I felt betrayed by them. It's a long story I don't feel talking about now.
Sometimes I think about if I die suddenly who will attend my funeral and you know? It doesn't matter.
Because those who love me they have to show they love me while I am alive.
They must show my kids that they love them while I am alive.
Later, it is good to know you have friends but it's better to know that your friends where there for you when it mattered.

Dear Oprah

I've just seen a recording where you went to a WW meeting and took everybody by surprise.
I started to cry because oh God, I would like so much to meet you in person and I just don't think this going to happen.
I really really would love to meet you.
I don't know why but you seem to be the kind of person I would like to have as friend.
Today was a hard day with many different emotions mixed but anyway I am grateful because I could do most of the things I needed to do.
It was a real miracle that I did what I did and I thank God.
I really am grateful.
It's something I've learned with the book The Magic, to be thankful for all the things everytime, everyday.
So, when something starts to go wrong I say thank you for all the other things that are going well.
Thank you Oprah for being such an inspiration.
Love

Dear Oprah

Yeah, I know it's been a while but my daughter came and I spent 10 amazing days with her.
This week I worked as a crazy woman and I've just arrived from a friend's birthday party.
I have to say: I hate parties.
My daughter said that I am introverted, I think I am anti-social.
Here in Brazil, it is extremally hot so being in a place outdoor without A.C. with the music too loud and lots of people it's really not my cup of tea.
I'd rather stay home, watch a movie or read a book.
Said friend it's 3 times divorced, 58 years old and tonight she introduced us to her new boyfriend.
God, he is the kind of a man I would never look twice.
You know the kind of gooey man?
I am too old to see things like that.
Sometimes I think that I'll end my life as the lady with the cats.
I do prefer cats, dogs, birds, even fishes instead of people.
I know, I am not a nice person.
Love
