Oprah knows a lot about people and a fair amount about relationships. I loved what she said during an interview in the Chicago Tribune about her new television channel, OWN. When asked what she’s learned about people over the years, she replied, “Everybody just wants to be heard. Toni Morrison said that what every child wants to know is, ‘Do your eyes light up when I enter the room? Did you hear me and did what I say mean anything to you?’ That’s all they’re looking for. That’s what everybody is looking for.” (Chicago Tribune, December 26, 2010) We all long for those eyes to light up. We all have the capacity to hear, to listen and to let others know that “Yes! what you said matters to me.” Can you give that gift to someone in your life today? –Janna Becherer, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Certified Imago Relationship Therapist.
