My girl Oprah is coming to shut down Atlanta next weekend for the Oprah’s Life You Want Weekend! If you are an O fan like me, you probably just freaked out a little. Oprah is about to begin an 8 city tour across the US starting with Atlanta! She is kicking off the Life You Want Weekend by taking over downtown Atlanta! If you are in Atlanta and would like a chance to attend the Life You Want Weekend, keep reading!
Next week, Oprah Winfrey will embark on the eight-city U.S. arena tour that has been at the top of her personal bucket list for years. Throughout the weekend event, guests will also have the chance to experience O-Town, a pop-up town square at Centennial Park that will be a exciting hub of music, activity, food and celebration throughout the tour’s stop in Atlanta. There will be entertainment, pampering at lounges featuring indulgent massages, makeovers and more. You can meet Oprah magazine Editor-at-Large Gayle King and Creative Director Alan Glassman, and even find yourself on the cover of the magazine.
O Town hours: Friday 10am – 6pm and Saturday 7am – 4pm
O Town Location: Centennial Olympic Park, 265 Park Avenue West, Atlanta, GA 30313. Entrance will be on the corner of Andrew Young International Blvd. and Marietta St.
On Friday evening at Philips Arena, Oprah will take to the stage to share her personal story, speaking of the things that have happened to her throughout her life in ways you’ve never heard them before. She’ll talk openly and candidly about her “calling” and her place in the world, how she finds empowerment where others might find failure, and why she never stops working at fulfilling her life’s purpose. She will share how she came to accept herself as she is, and why it is important that she live her “best possible life” in everything she does. You will experience an intimate evening with the woman the world fell in love with during 25 years of the “Oprah” show and who founded OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
On Saturday, Oprah’s hand-selected Trailblazers will fill Philips Arena with hope and inspiration, as they lead the audience into the light of discovering their life’s purpose and tapping into the inner courage needed to fulfill that purpose. Deepak Chopra, along with best-selling authors Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love), Rob Bell (Love Wins and What We Talk About When We Talk About God) and Iyanla Vanzant (Forgiveness: 21 Days to Forgive Everyone for Everything), whose weekly OWN series “Iyanla: Fix My Life” is one of the network’s most popular, will share their tools for transformational living. It will be a full day of uplifting and inspired life-changing interaction as these great creative and spiritual minds share how to find joy in the smallest moments of each and every day, exercise the power of forgiveness, how to discover and obtain what matters most in your life, and so much more.

August 31, 2014 at 12:22 pmOprah has inspired me to give. Regardless of how much I have, or don’t have, there’s someone who has less and it is my duty to give unselfishly. Oprah has done that her entire life/career and she has inspired me to do the same.
