Grateful to be an Official Oprah Blogger (and 2nd Photo Shoot with Oprah)

Evolving Stacey and Oprah ~ We Are Destined to Work Together

I am so grateful to be an Oprah’s Lifeclass blogger. Attending Oprah’s Lifeclass sneak peek plus to two of the live webcasts were not only fun and exciting, they was also an opportunity for me to have some really BIG Ah-Ha Moments.

My Calling

Back in 2009, I discovered my calling, which is to help mindful and inspiring people empower the world (primarily women) using the power, magic, and karma of social media. My calling is about connecting and engaging with people who want to live their best lives.

The moment I discovered this calling, I started creating an exit plan to leave my boring unfulfilling Corporate America job so I could fully honor my calling. Oprah says one’s calling is not necessarily part of someone’s career, but in my heart I know my career is definitely part of my calling.

Big Ah-Ha Moment During Oprah’s Lifeclass

Last week I was watching Oprah’s Lifeclass, Lesson 6: Who You Were Meant to Be – Everybody Has a Calling, and realized the greatest way I can use my life in service to myself and in service to the world is to support all of the new work Oprah and OWN are doing – specifically with OWN Digital since I know my calling is connected to social media marketing and online interactive engagement.

THIS is how I can use my life in service to myself and to the world. The feeling is strong (more like a brick wall and less than a whisper). This is what I am meant to do. Being at the two webcasts shined light onto my calling. When I was at Harpo Studios is when I felt most alive.

Oh…What the Heck…Go For It Anyways

During one of Oprah’s Joy Rising webcasts, Iyanla Vanzant encouraged everyone to use this mantra:

Oh…What the Heck…Go For It Anyways

And that is exactly what I did and will continue to do. I contacted two of the amazing women I met at Harpo Studios explaining my calling and how being part of OWN’s mission would allow me to use my life in service to myself and in service to the world.

My heart soars just thinking about the possibility of continuing to work with the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Stay Tuned!
