Each Friday, we are taking a look back over the week and bringing you the “Top 5 Moments” of OWN programming each week. There were plenty of moments to pick from….so much good stuff and we did our best!
“Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s”- Finally, Robbie and the family are back! With TJ heading home and the new restaurant coming along…Sweetie Pie’s is back in full form. Honestly it was all about TJ! It was so great to see him doing so well. Of course there was drama…Tim going behind his mother’s back, Charles growing up a little more and Tim, Jenae and the baby moving in with Robbie! YES, I said moving in. This is going to be fun! The best moment was TJ coming home…even though he was coming home to craziness! Welcome back to Sweetie Pies!
“Oprah’s Next Chapter” with Shaquan Duley- In tears from the first few minutes, this story rips through your heart. Oprah tactfully asked the hard questions as Shaquan walked us through the darkest parts of the human spirit hoping to prevent others from taking the same path. However, the brightest spot came in the last 5 minutes of the show as we were introduced to Shaquan’s adorable seven year old daughter, Saniya, a beautiful little girl with an incredible smile. So often in the midst of tragedy, people forget the scars they leave on children. Saniya is a bright little girl, but she will need the support of those around her to deal with a lifetime of memories. No matter what…it is important to always keep the children in mind.
“Oprah’s Lifeclass” with Tony Robbins (off camera moments)- Tony took the audience through a simple team building exercise…one that showed all of us the power of intention and how closely our mind and body are aligned. Approaching each person with different mind sets, we learned that our movements can change our thoughts. Whereas most people try to change their thoughts to change their lives, he suggests that we change our movements which will change our thoughts which will change our lives. Powerful Lifeclass lessons.
“Beverly’s Full House” – This week, we were introduced to a whole new world of “Beverly’s Full House.” Real family. Real problems. Real reality…as much as it can be with a famous family of super models. Best moment from the show was when Beverly bought her daughter a mattress because for the first time, she showed her daughter she was listening. Through the show we see relationships at work…both the good and the crazy… and the hope of healing relationships. A brand new show that may bring lessons of love between a mother and daughter to the rest of the world.
Super Soul Sunday’s film “The Shift”- The filmmakers did an amazing job at giving us little bites of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s concepts on our egos, our purpose and callings and so much more. Rather than still shots of heavy theories, we are taken on a journey with several characters whose lives mirror aspects of so many others. Reminding us all to find our calling and to shift to a higher place in our lives, viewers are left craving the fulfillment that comes from letting go of our ego based desires. Best moment – learning about the quantum moment. **Note: If you missed Dr. Dyer’s interview OR the film “The Shift”, OWN is treating us all to a special encore this Sunday. Be sure to set your DVRs…you don’t want to miss this!
