What I Know For Sure by Oprah Winfrey

BATB score: 8/10 🥹

Best to: words of wisdom that is not forced down your throat

Best as: BATB re-read and it still feels like a grandma’s warm hug; that fuzzy feeling that makes your heart mellow - melting marshmallow

Best for: any mature adult who just needs a grandma’s loving embrace - grandma made soft chocolate chip cookie from the freezer heated in the microwave for a few seconds eaten on a kitchen towel on the sofa while watching Jeopardy!

BATB lingering thought: Oprah Winfrey has a lot of success to brag about yet this book was just Oprah’s gratitude for the simplest things in life; aren’t we all chasing, striving, reaching for the wrong things?

Best quotes: “True spiritual growth is less about changing who you are and everything to do with becoming more of yourself.”

“When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.”

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you’, it will be enough.”

“I want to live my life so my aura, when it leaves, is very bright.”
