You heard right! Oprah lent her voice to the Jeep/USO "Whole Again" spot. "It is an honor to lend my voice in support of those who serve us all," she says. And, from now through May 27 you can support out troops too, with just a tweet. For each unique time #joinOSR is used, Jeep® will donate $1 to the SAFE Return Fund to benefit the USO in providing aid to our troops. Get more details on Operation SAFE Return at www.Jeep.com/OSR. Watch the Jeep/USO spot, featuring Oprah's voice, below.

Calling all Book Clubbers and Super Soulers...

"The Twelve Tribes of Hattie," by debut novelist Ayana Mathis left me speechless. What I love about great writers is their ability to conjure life through words. She is already a master writer and it's her FIRST book. 

I'm so excited for her and a career that's bound to give us years of pleasure through books.

Ayana will be kicking off our new season of Super Soul Sunday on Super Bowl Sunday. Followed by In Deep Shift with Jonas Elrod and my SoulPancake special all about love with Rainn Wilson. Want to feed your spirit... please join us. New season begins this Sunday at 11/10am CT.

We LIVE stream around the world on Facebook and Oprah.com. You can watch from wherever you are on any mobile device. Share your comments or tweet, tweet me. I'll be tweeting LIVE, so will Ayana.

See you online and on OWN!

On Tuesday night, Oprah says "Thank you Calgary!" as she wraps up her sold-out show during her three-city Canadian tour. Oprah stepped out in her white cowboy hat, a symbol of hospitality that Calgary often shares with visiting dignitaries and celebrities.

Oprah sent this photo out today with a tweet:
Goodbye Calgary.. Thanks for your LOVE. Keep spreading' it!


She also visited Edmonton, Alberta Monday and is now heading to Vancouver!

Hello my friends...Greetings from Calgary.  Cold up here.  Wishing you warmth wherever you are.  

News for all of you 'Fifty Shades of Grey' fans....Lisa Ling has the real deal on tonight's premiere episode of  OUR AMERICA with Lisa Ling.  What a shock to see what your neighbors are up to...handcuffs and all!

I love "going deep" to see how other people live and Lisa is phenomenal at immersing herself in the lives of the people she meets.  She allows us to see people and their experiences in a whole new light -- and often makes us question what we always believed to be true in Our America.  I always come away with more than a few Ahas! and even a couple of OMG's after watching this show.  Take that to the 10x for tonight's show!

OUR AMERICA with Lisa Ling tonight at 10/9c. Can't wait to hear what y'all think. Post your comments or tweet tweet me.
