Oprah’s guests at Byron Friday 10th Dec!

WOW what a fun and inspiring 24 hours.

I came home from waterpolo last night and jumped into a new lease of life about being on Oprah.

I sent out 25 press releases to newspapers last night trying to get a front page editorial. I acquired the producers contact email so sent her an email. She replied saying their shows were pretty booked, but you never know your luck in a big city and you never know with Oprah.

Then I started gathering lists of her guests from interviews that the media have conducted. I ended up of list of 16 people.

Today I headed down to Byron as I heard 40 of her guests were staying. On the way down I received a tip off about the movements of the guests. First I headed to Gaia and spoke to the manager (who was setting up for the afternoon function). She took a copy of my books for Olivia Newton John but wouldn’t take copies for Oprah. (I later found out that Oprah was in Melbourne).

Gaia – the resort is devine, and this is where the marquee was being set up with sensational Byron Hinterland Views.

Then off to Byron on Byron to give 40 books (with notes) to her 40 guests. I hung out for awhile and had a latte and yummy wine.

I wanted (and needed a surf) but it had blown out. :-( so sitting in the magic sun of Wategos had to do. :-)

Renewed energy off to the Harvest Cafe in Newrybar where the guests were dining before going to Gaia but was running out of time so came home to meet with the Bulletin. 5 mins from home, the journalist called to say the editor only wanted to run the story if I was definitely on :-(

Newrybar – the Harvest Cafe – casual but lovely. Approx 50 meters along in the town, the ol’ honesty veggie-shop system.  Local sites below. Planning away….

 

I have been toying with the idea of driving to Sydney on Saturday and coming back Sunday to drop my books to the hotel where the guests are staying but gut feeling is saying I could be door blocked and that is a long way to drive to be turned around. So tonight I used a mix of courier, Australia Express post and ordinary post to send my books to the guests. I included a personal message.

The positives:

The producer now knows I exist, has a copy of my book and knows why I dearly want to be interviewed by Oprah

There maybe a 3rd and 4th show

80 of her guests now have a copy of my book.

The negatives – there are none. Only progressions .

forward I march

determination, conviction sheer desire – I don’t know what you call it but I am still giving it my all to be a guest on Oprah’s show. My message for women is too important. I also know that Oprah will love my whole journey through life.

I am also going to drive to Byron tomorrow to give her guests some books, and then I shall drive to Sydney on Saturday deliver some books to her other guests and then drive back home on Sunday.

I have never doubted that I will be on her show – I just need to find the key to open that door.

Oh yes, and today I was given a producers email at Harpo.

Oh yes, the local newspaper are coming out tomorrow to do a photo shoot. I am very grateful for there support.

I can do this, I can make this happen.

This is today’s PR that has gone to all leading newspapers to try to get some front page coverage.

Why is a single mum from the Gold Coast trying so hard to be a GUEST on the Oprah show?

Have you ever had a dream? A dream from childhood that was so BIG that nothing would get in the way of you trying to execute it?

This is the excitement, the force and the desire behind one woman mission to appear as a guest on Oprah next week.

And the reasons for her wanting to be a guest and interviewed by Oprah?

She has a mandate to assist 65 million Asian orphans. She has published a book (3 actually) for women on hormones and why women are becoming men and wants to discuss this with Oprah to helps hundreds of women world-wide to better understand themselves and their health. (She is now a world leader in this area and her book Beauty and the Beast Within has been show cased on Today and Sunrise). AND she wants to inspire women of the world to know that even when the odds seemed stacked against you, with positive steps forward, you can achieve anything!

Sam Beau Patrick is the lady behind this inspirational story. She has been keeping a blog of her journey (http://oprahhealthqueen.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-pick-me.html) and has a following of friends, associates and clients all wanting her to appear on Oprah.

For the last 3 months she has spent 2 hours most days sending emails, books and visualizing her interview with Oprah. As she stated in September ..” this quest is not so much about me, but for all the people I represent and can help. I am going to give it my ALL.”

She is a critical care nurse, naturopath, author and has a back ground in pharmacology. She has her own business and runs a website for women: www.byebyebridget.com and speak regularly to motivate and inspire people. In her private life she raises 3 children (4, 6 and 10 years old) on her own and is actively involved with raising money for Bravehearts (A charity for raising awareness in sexual abuse in children). This year she was nominated for Telstra’s Business Woman of the Year and last year she received accolades from Red Cross for her response in establishing the Gold Coast Emergency Fire Relief Centre (she arranged Two thousand five hundred boxes clothes, shoes and goods to the survivors of the Victorian Bush Fires).

She is planning on driving to Sydney on Sunday to give each of Oprah’s guests a copy of her book.

A walk in the rain

Great week-end capped off with a short bush walk this morning at one of the most Heavenly places on Earth – Mt Warning.

Saturday was fun – Kalani had a few special friends over for a party – low key, lots of playing and the kids were so cute!

Sunday was recovery day and the kids played in the back yard. Fortunately with a pool and big trampoline I don’t have to take the kids places for them to have fun.

Then today a quick but refreshing meander at Mt Warning national park. The rain making it all the bit more special. Heaven.

  

one more time for oprah’s suggestion box…

WOMEN are becoming MEN hormonally

My research is indicating that women are becoming men. This is due to 3 things:
1. stress hormones (cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline)
2. sugar hormones (insulin which increases testosterone)
3. social hormones (women are thinking like men eg work)

Sam , Australia's Health Queen has appeared on National Television and wants to spread the word to women of the world . Infertility, obesity are also signs of hormone imbalances.
