Oprah’s Twitter Feed

I’ve been following Oprah’s Twitter feed  for quite some time now. It’s been a reliable source of inspirational quotes and encouragements, but over the last week or so it’s become a little more candid and unpredictable. It’s like Oprah had a catharsis of some sort and now, instead of just showing us the external, glowing Oprah, she seems comfortable enough to be expressing herself in a more honest and authentic way. It’s been refreshing.

This is a collection of her Tweets from the last week:

Hate is not the first enemy of love. Fear is. It destroys your ability to trust.

If you want to feel good, you have to go out and do some good.

Whatever has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment, because life is now.

Just saw Skyfall and I’d really like to get slippery with Daniel Craig. Really, really slippery.

What you really want is to be surrounded by people you trust & treasure & by people who cherish you. That’s when you’re really rich.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads & empty hearts can do that. -Norman Peale

Sick of all the Jews in Hollywood.

I don’t hate them, I’m not anti-Semitic, just really, really sick of them right now.

Happiness will come to you when it comes from you. Success will be yours when you choose to take responsibility for making it so.

Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, & soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer.

Got to call somebody about the birds. Their constant cawing from the backyard is driving me CRAZY!!!!!

Hate birds.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen. -Michael Jordan

Very high right now.

Great spirits have always faced violent opposition from mediocre minds. -Einstein

Successful people know the difference between patience & procrastination.

Bitch-faced birds now on my very last nerve.

I haven’t loved Stedman in a very long time and have had a steady stream of lovers.

Would definitely fuck Obama if I had the chance. Michelle, too.

Every time U suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play U small, U are ignoring the owner’s manual your creator gave u.

Missing the NHL.

I believe that every single event in life happens is an opportunity to choose love over fear.

Fucked Sylvester Stallone once. VERY disappointing.

I was once afraid of people saying “who does she think she is?” Now I have the courage to stand & say, “THIS IS WHO I AM.”

I really, really hate my life and I think several of my maids are stealing from me.

I’m going to go kill me some birds.
