PAGE 9
In 2006, Oprah and Gayle embarked on the ultimate spa getaway with some deserving O, The Oprah Magazine contest winners. At the Miraval Resort and Spa in Tucson, Arizona, Gayle—who is afraid of heights—agreed to be hoisted 40 feet in the air for a self-improvement exercise called A Wing and a Prayer. The idea of the exercise was to get over your fears and let yourself drop in the air, all in the name of self-improvement. But there was just one problem: Gayle wouldn't let herself fall.
