My Oprah Moment

Oprah celebrated 25 years of hosting her own show earlier this year - and she celebrated by ending her show and moving on to a new challenge. It just so happens that I too celebrated 25 years in the corporate environment. I devoted my career helping nonprofits in their fundraising efforts and to help them further their mission.

Prior to May, I never watched an Oprah episode. But I was lucky enough to watch her final 10 shows. In her last show she talked about "Her calling" and that everyone has a "calling". Maybe you haven't discovered it yet or perhaps you're not hearing God's message to you. I wish I wrote down Oprah's words, but she said something like - if you don't listen, he'll start knocking you over the head. Well, he knocked me upside, downside and on top of my head!

I'm ready for my new challenge - to recognize my calling. How about you? If you know your's, please share it. If you don't, are you listening?
