The Campaign marches on.  I sent Oprah another little note,  presented below. 

Dear Oprah,

Hello, it’s me again.  You may remember that I wrote a few months ago.  I had hoped to hear from you, but I am not discouraged.  It occurs to me that you might not have even received my first email.  Perhaps a well-meaning, yet shortsighted, intern neglected to pass it on.

Here’s a recap of that first email.

1)      Message from God via Oprah

2)      Empty nest

3)      Soul searching

4)      Do what you love

5)      Would-be writer

6)      Oprah Magazine-worthy blog https://pegoleg.wordpress.com/. 

The blog gives a little background information about me, so I won’t go into detail here.  Suffice it to say, you and I have a lot in common:

YOU live in Illinois; I live in Illinois.

YOU struggle with weight and fitness issues; I struggle with weight and fitness issues.

YOU are a 50-something woman; I am a 50-something woman.

YOU are a gazillionaire; I struggle with weight and fitness issues.

We’re practically twins.

I present an Everywoman point of view that I think your readers would enjoy.   Won’t you consider sponsoring my blog on the Oprah Magazine website?

Please check it out at https://pegoleg.wordpress.com/.  Just a heads up – some of my blog fans (aka family members) may also be writing to encourage you to read my blog.

Sincerely & Respectfully,

I sent this to the same place that you’re just about to send your email plugging my blog, right?  Here’s the link https://www.oprah.com/ownshow/plug_form.html?plug_id=505

I’m sure we’re making progress.  The email-screening intern is getting intrigued.  About to bump this up the food-chain to an actual Oprah employee (soon to be fellow-employee).  I can feel it!

Stay strong, and thanks for your continued support.

Your sister in the struggle,

Peg
