Dearest Oprah,
My intuition told me that you’d be reading these posts today as you prepare for the momentous occasion of tomorrow’s launch of the New Earth Class.
I know you will remember me. I was on your show about 9 years ago when you began your Change Your Life series. My practice is being a Spiritual Life coach and author. My name Vicki Spina but my friends call me Faith.
I was the one who set my intentions and wrote in my journal that I would be on your show before you went off the air. (At that time you were contemplating whether to continue or not, and thank GOD you did!). We talked about setting intentions and universal law of attraction.
What you may not have known is that I never sent you a press release or contacted your show in any way. All I did was write in my journal that I Will be on your show. 3 months later your producer Kandi contacted me to be on. I asked how she had heard about me and she didn’t know; a very clear sign to me that the Universe was supporting me.
I used to live in Chicago for the majority of my life and it’s no mistake that you are based there, as it truly is the “Heartland” of the nation-and you are at the center of it!
My reason for writing today is for several reasons. First and foremost to say thank you. Thank you for being YOU. Thank you for having the courage to follow your purpose. I know that back when you began the change your life TV, critics jumped all over you and accused you of preaching. The fact that you’ve been through all that and have not let it get in your way is such an inspiration to all of us!
I just want you to know that should the critiscm get thick again…(and from the sound of some of these posts on other discussions-it already has) that for every one of those people who are naysayers..their are many more that support you with love and respect. Our voices may not always be heard over the blazing negativity..but when you go into your heart..in that moment of stillness you will hear the angels singing your praise and our thanks.
You have given so much to so many over the years…my way of giving back to you is to offer you my loving support and prayers. For you are my sister in Jesus and I know he is smiling on you. So many Christians are so very afraid of this message and will say you aren’t a true Christian…but I know your love of Christ…it is in every thing you say and do.
So if you ever have a flicker of doubt about this course or the ruckus…(like OMG what have I started here??) I would love for you to remember the ones who are silently in the wings are sending you love and energy (the frequency holders). As Emily Dickenson so beautifully wrote, “If I have saved one life from pain, then I have not lived in vain”. And you, my friend…have saved many of us from so much pain!
In closing, I would like to ask a small request of you…I sent Maya Angelou a handmade Goddess doll several years ago. I read her book “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” when I was 11 years old and I totally related to her then and she changed my life. I sent her the doll anonymously, as I didn’t want any recognition for it..just wanted it to be an unconditional gift of love for her…but I’ve often wondered if she indeed received it. The only address I had for her was in c/o of the University she was teaching at. I know you talk with her often and if she did get it if someone could email me and let me know, I’d really appreciate it. My email is faith88@charter.net.
Blessings to you and Eckhart as well all embark on this special journey together...
With love and light,
Vicki (aka Faith)
