Lori’s Lookout
Seeing Your Idol
Live….
Lori Leonard - Main Street
Oprah Winfrey has been my
absolute idol for many years. I
could not believe it when I heard
she was coming to the Bell Centre in Montreal.
My first thought was that I was finally going to see her live.
However, when I called my friends to ask them if they were
interested, they thought the tickets were too expensive, some
costing $300. After asking so many friends and receiving
negative responses, I accepted that I would not meet Oprah
after all. On with my regular life…..
One afternoon, I stopped by my sister Holly’s office. We started
chatting, when suddenly she divulged that her husband, Terry,
had purchased 2 tickets for Oprah and she wanted to know if I
would like to go with her. We were so excited, we felt like two
little kids.
Who else could fill the Bell Center with 15,000 singing fans
that literally shook the center with applause and adoration?
Oprah, the most influential and powerful woman in the world.
Oprah did not disappoint. She is a warm, caring, spiritual and
intellectual woman who has come a long way. She shared
some of her difficult life experiences and demonstrated grace
whilst she laughed at herself and some of her antics. She
revealed stories about when she was an impoverished young
girl. She spoke about the church, her grandmother, about
her rape at age 9 and how she landed her own talk show in
Chicago. She explained how she yearned so badly to play a
part in the Color Purple and how she was shocked when she
landed the role, which earned her an Oscar for best supporting
actress.
Oprah talked about hope and inspiration and reminded us to
be thankful for what we have, instead of complaining about
what we don’t. She spoke about the nine young teenage girls
from Africa, currently residing with her at home, and how
she enjoys them so much . She now understands some of the
concepts of motherhood, especially when one of them drove
home with a guy on the back of a motorcycle.
While visiting Montreal, Oprah fell in love with “David’s Tea”
(Mtl. store). I believe that Oprah also fell in love with Montreal
as she declared, with tears streaming down her face, that she had never been
greeted in such a fashion in any other city.
Many fans wondered why Oprah ended her show when she did. She explained
that she preferred to leave the show while it was still such a success, rather
than waiting until ratings dropped. I am surprised she never decided to jump
into politics, but knowing her, she is too smart to do so. She now has her own
network, OWN and she is excited about this new and exhilarating challenge.

Oprah has made so many people famous and successful such as Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil
and her best friend, Gail. She has positively endorsed books, which have instantly
become bestsellers overnight.
All I have to say is, “Thank you Oprah, for providing a wonderful, inspirational
and empowering evening for two sisters.” Maybe next time, we will even get to
meet her….
