Each Friday, we are taking a look back over the week and bringing you the “Top 5 Moments” of OWN programming each week.   There were plenty of moments to pick from….so much good stuff and we did our best!

• “Oprah’s Next Chapter” with Lady Gaga – This week’s Next Chapter reached new levels as Oprah went inside the very private life of Lady Gaga.  Little reveals during the 2 hour exclusive interview…Gaga doesn’t own a home, her parents have had the same phone number and address for decades, she’s private but genuinely honest and finally, and she’s just like each one of us…trying to be her authentic self each and every day. It’s hard to pin-point just one thing to highlight but something that Oprah and Cynthia Germanotta, Lady Gaga’s mother, pointed out during the interview has stuck with me all week.  “Her vulnerability makes everyone feel connected…and stronger.” Just think about how much we could learn from each other if we opened ourselves up and let ourselves be vulnerable…and knew that what we shared would be received without judgment and through loving eyes.   Love the thought…loved getting to know Lady Gaga!
• Super Soul Sunday’s film “Wake Up”– Wake Up takes OWN viewers along a man’s journey to make sense of the unimaginable.  Realizing that consciousness is not confined to the skull, we all begin to see that maybe there is more to our thoughts and what is truly going on around us.  Riveting and wonderful!
•  “The Rosie Show” 50^th Birthday & Wrap Party– Despite the news of the show being cancelled, a celebration of life was in full force for the Ro Team. The birthday video from Broadway was awesome…especially Joel Grey and the kids!  They are so right….Rosie is Broadway’s gal!  Ro also did a great job addressing the cancellation this week.  No blame, just business.  It just wasn’t the right time.  We all love Rosie and her team and hope that they all land softly!
• TGOF – My sister and I have been talking about a show just like this!  We are so happy to see that OWN is pulling in some original OWN viewers like Patrick and Jeffery to host an online show.  They have been vlogging from the start and LOVE the energy they bring.  Our only grief…is that it is virtually impossible to find them on Oprah.com.  Don’t worry.  We’ll point you in the right direction each Friday!
• The OLC Wave –  Although “Oprah’s Lifeclass” hasn’t officially started, many OWN viewers have been creating their own waves of excitement..especially with the new promos!  Here at TDO we started an OLC Boot Camp that seemed to invite a “living the lesson” lifestyle for us both.  Over the past four weeks of the boot camp, we found ourselves submerged in our own personal life lessons reflecting back each day on our class notes.  This has saved us…seriously!  The classes are truly life changing.  As the last week of OLC Boot Camp is all about preparing for next season of “Oprah’s Lifeclass”, we breathe a little easier with our life notes in hand and a fresh new journal.

Don’t see your favorite moment here? Well…leave a comment and share it with other us and the rest of the OWN family.
