Are you living your best life?



Oprah loves this question. And it's not as condescending as you might think - she admits to not always living her best life, saying she's recently read her "Gratitude Journals" from a few years back thinking - wow, I was happy then.  But it is a great question to ask yourself from time to time... and maybe for an entire New York City weekend.

The "Live Your Best Life Weekend" offered too much to go into in any detail - "O" Magazine's May issue does a great job summarizing most of the content.  As does: "10 Best Things We Learned at O's Live Your Best Life Weekend".  Highlights were the following:

Carrie Bradshaw's SATC brownstone walk-up in the West Village (SJP herself lives only a few blocks away).  It's such a popular tourist stop that there's a "no trespassing" sign at the base of those famous stairs.

I'm still getting over the fact that I didn't meet Ms. Winfrey, but being 10 feet away from her twice was incredible...

"Eat Pray Love"'s Elizabeth Gilbert made a surprise appearance in Oprah's opening remarks, telling the crowd that while living your best life is great - doing the best you can is better.




Oprah narrating her OWN autobiography at Radio City Music Hall - and Hugh Jackman as the finale.  YUMMMM.


Thousands of die-hard O fans braved a cold windy Sunday-May morning raising money for 10 charities. Celebs in attendance were Jennifer Hudson, Bette Milder, Mary J Blige, Elizabeth Banks & Dr. Oz.


AHA.
