I have seen Oprah for many years on TV. Seeing her live and share her personal stories, some which I had never heard of, made me see her in a different light than the super star Oprah on TV. I saw that her wealth is a result of her passion to give. Not only that, she is very clear that she is here to be of service God. She said when we made that her priority, her show grew exponentially. I saw a woman who really cares about uplifting and inspiring others.<\/p>\n<p>I captured part of the opening video here. While she spoke, all these plastic wristbands we were given all lit up. With the lights down in the Miami arena, it was a special sight and vibe. So besides being an uplifting weekend, it was two days that filled my soul. \u00a0I felt like my heart had burst open and something inside of me shifted. I was so sensitive the following week, that one day, I burst into tears at home. It was those happy tears moments. It was because I felt so blessed. I really<em> felt<\/em> it. It was raw and real.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"750\" height=\"392\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/12LVG2ncEo8?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><\/object><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.micaminar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Oprah-life-you-want-miami-5.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2271 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.micaminar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Oprah-life-you-want-miami-5.jpg?resize=811%2C608&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Oprah-life-you-want-miami-5\" width=\"811\" height=\"608\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was lucky to have close friends, my sister and niece present.
