Oprah,

Happy Birthday! I’m sure you get millions of these, but I wanted to send you one anyway. Can anyone ever get too much birthday-love?

I had the privilege of attending a taping of your show in Chicago last April. You were a rock star. You were so gracious and complimentary of the audience. I was very impressed. Thank you for championing women, for giving the voiceless hope and for inspiring millions of people to be better.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday spent with those you love. And may the year ahead be filled with success (hello, OWN!).

All the best,

Lauren
