Dear Oprah,
Today I sat down and watched your show. The moment I realized the show was on food I thought to myself, “I have to eat something.” So I got up went into my kitchen and came back out with a cake. Not a piece of cake. Not a slice of cake but a whole cake. I continued to watch your show with a cake on my lap and a fork in my hand. On the show there was a conversation about the real reason to why we eat the way we do. I thought about why I was eating the cake. I reflected on my life and didn’t want to go there. I remember thinking, “Maybe Oprah I just want to eat my FREAKING cake. So there.” Even as I thought that …I knew I was wrong.

There was a challenge on the show to look in the mirror into our own eyes and see into our souls. I stood at that mirror Oprah for a long time and never saw my soul. At first I thought maybe I could not see it because I was wearing my glasses. So I put in my contacts. Then I thought maybe my eyes are just too small.
