Oprah Called

This tiny 5x5 storybook had a huge impact on a very influential person! Many people can say Oprah made a difference in their lives, but not many people can say they've made a difference in Oprah's life! But with the power of storybooking, My friend, Brenda Kruse from Iowa and fellow Heritage Makers consultant, was able to touch the life of a very busy, very powerful woman.

Oprah called my friend!

It was a Wednesday at 5:46 p.m. Central Time (5-28-2008). She was putting away groceries while her kids were playing outside. A call came into her cell phone that said "Private Call" and she went to answer but she couldn't hear anything so she hung up. A minute later, her voicemail chime sounded so she went to check it, expecting a telemarketer or political promo.

But that's when she experienced the surprise of my life...it was Oprah Winfrey on her voicemail! You can listen to her exact voice mail on the link to the right! It expresses her appreciation and love for the idea of storybooking!

She said, "All I know is I dropped the loaf of bread I had in my hands (good thing it wasn't eggs or a jar of spaghetti sauce!) and stood frozen to my kitchen floor with goosebumps from head to toe.

She called to say thank you for the book I'd created and sent her about her dog, Gracie, who died a year ago. Getting a personal call from Ms. O herself, I was stunned to say the least."

I am so proud to be apart of such an amazing company and to partner with amazing women like Brenda. We are the pioneers of this company and I feel a strong mission to instruct, inspire, and to motivate everyone on the POWER OF STORY!
