Oprah talks about having all five dogs in her room when she adopted the puppies, Luke, Layla, and Gracie. “I had all five dogs in the room and the three different crates, and they all pooped at different times,” Oprah says. I’ve always said that mothering is the hardest job on earth. Even with puppies.”

She said something that I thought was so telling during the study group taping with Oprah. She said (I’m paraphrasing) that Paradise only exists because others are excluded. Paradise is not open to all of us. In other words, if everyone could get in, Paradise wouldn’t be held in the same esteem.
My Girl Oprah Is Organic

Summer dazzles all the senses – whether it is good or bad. She beckons you like Cleopatra beckoned Antony. She promises goodness and bounty. She promises vacations filled with memories. She makes you want to spend the day at the lake, picnicking with family or friends.
