OWN is not your ordinary channel…and Raising Whitley looks like it’s not going to be just another reality show. Comedian and new star of Raising Whitley, Kym Whitley, sat down with OWN Ambassador and A Spoonful of Paolo host, Paolo Presta, to talk about life and a little about her journey. This will give you an insight to why we are Raising Whitley on OWN starting this Saturday…and why we are going to like her so much. Thanks Paolo and Patrick for bringing us a side of Kym that we can share before the big premier. We absolutely LOVE her! And we abosolutely LOVE Paolo and Patrick. For more of their videos, visit them at A Spoonful of Paolo.
Today an amazing experiment is happening and we’ll be joining in. Check out the video from Jonni Pollard of 1 Giant Mind and join other OWN Ambassadors in the 12 Days of Celebrating Consciousness with connecting with the rest of the world. 1 Giant Mind is inviting us on a synchronized global meditation happening around the world.

Michael Robert Lawrence is an author, counselor and speaker from New England. Michael endured a series of deeply traumatic experiences that sent him into suicidal clinical depression. His intense mental agony realigned his perceptions and he began to free himself from the control of thought and emotion. These brief experiences of happiness and peace were enough for Michael to regain hope. He began to use his skills in hypnosis and meditation with enhancements from other modalities including super learning and brainwave entrainment to reprogram his mind. [read more…]

The OWN Ambassadors are blessed to have DeVon Franklin joining us for our 12 Days of Celebrating Consciousness. This Author, Hollywood movie executive and preacher is a shining light of love and faith in a world where we are starving for this kind of leadership. DeVon Franklin’s book Produced By Faith is a “How-To” guide on how having faith and trusting in the Lord will only lead you to the greatest of successes.
I was first introduced to DeVon Franklin when he appeared on Super Soul Sunday as a guest of Oprah Winfrey, discussing how to find your life’s true purpose and in turn, talk about his new book, Produced By Faith. If you have not yet read this life changing, view altering life manual, I 100% recommend it! What fantastic insight he has and his words will reach your heart and allow you to see the path you are on, realizing that you just have to be where you are and trust that God has already mapped it out for you. All we have to do is be who he has created us to be. Using his experience in the Hollywood film industry, DeVon’s words allow us to see our lives in the form of a movie. Each step, each process and all the players involved, fitting into each role. I promise you this is a MUST read and you will be forever changed! A major lesson that seemed to jump off the pages of Produced By Faithis that “thetruth is that you and I are only in control of 2 things: 1) how we prepare for what might happen and 2) how we respond to what just happened. The moment when things actually do happen belongs to God.” [read more…]

“I don’t think you ever stop giving. I really don’t. I think it’s an on-going process. And it’s not just about being able to write a check. It’s being able to touch somebody’s life.” – Oprah Winfrey It’s beginning to look a lot like the HOLIDAY SEASON! With Sunday’s Favorite Things special officially kicking off [...]
Life has been a series of twists and turns and some of those roads are a total surprise. In the last week, we’ve been sitting back and processing what just happened. With returning to regular life, the world of Beverly Hills and Oprah seems just out of grasp. It was magical. It was extraordinary. It [...]
As we let this journey settle with our soul, it’s important to mention a few highlights that happened along the way. All of them happened while in Los Angeles for our lunch with Oprah (did I mention that we were having lunch with Oprah?)…and all of them pulled us along a road that we may [...]
