Oprah Winfrey Makes Our Book Go Viral!

/

Today I’ve got some big news. Sitting comfortably? Ok, here goes…

So, you know a couple of weeks ago, I launched my Empower Yourself Colouring Book and was looking to send profits to Ukraine charities.

I was expecting a few hundred people to buy a copy if I was lucky. But not a few hundred thousand!

Last week, I shared my book on social media. One of my friends based in Los Angeles saw it.

She’s a huge fan of colouring in. So she naturally bought a copy. She bought a few actually.

What I didn’t know was that this friend ended up at a brunch party in Beverley Hills in Los Angeles. Posh, I know! And amongst the celebrities there, was none other that Oprah Winfrey!

How She Met Oprah

My friend was at one end of the table and Oprah at the other. No chance of meeting her. As time was passing, she decided to pull out her book and do some colouring in to be mindful and chill. She got into the zone and was happily coloring away and learning about mindfulness and ACT along the way.

The next time she looked up, Oprah was staring at her, and she was surrounded by a crowd of others watching her colouring in the quote ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway’.

She was shocked.

Oprahs Reaction

Oprah was wondering what all the fuss is about colouring in. Seems childish she said. But she then asked: ‘Honey, can I have a go too? I’m so stressed and I keep hearing about this coloring in stuff!’

My friend gave her one of her spare copies from her bag and Oprah joined in.

People were taking photos and she kept going for 30 mins! Her face transformed from stressed to superchilled by the end of it.

She L-O-V-E-D it!

And you may know that Oprah has a bigggggg following on social media. 

Right there and then, without even telling my friend, she went onto twitter and shared this:

The tweet said:

OMG! I love this new book! ❤️ 

Coloring in is so life changing. Looking forward to meeting @QueenEliz for tea and you @shamashalidina in my England trip in a couple of weeks. This can #healtheworld

I think this tweet alone can make us a #1 New York Times bestseller! But there’s more.

Once the tweet reach a million people, lots of celebs started replying!

So this is what going viral feels like! Wow!

The funny thing is, I’m getting so excited now, my hands are shaking, and I'm even using the colouring book to calm myself down! 

The colouring isn’t looking too great with my shaky hands, but as they say, done is better than perfect!

There’s a chance I might get invited to hang out with Oprah and the Queen in a couple of weeks. What on earth should I wear????!!! Any tips are welcome. 

Oprah also wants to take the mindful book and message on her global happiness tour this month. If you’d like to help carrying the books and have a few weeks and can handle lots of travel lemme know. I will need help carrying all the colouring pencils and books. We will be travelling in a brand fleet of new solar powered Teslas with zero emission - should be fun.

Anyone with experience in sharpening large numbers of colour pencils are especially welcome.

If you’re still reading, I hope you’re enjoying the free entertainment! Haha. Wishing you a very healthy and happy April Fools 2022. Yup. Did I get you? A smile a day keeps the insanity away. For last year’s joke, go here. :)

We are raising funds for Ukraine with the sale of the book ‘Empower Yourself’. So do get a few copies and help us support the cause. We will extend sharing 100% profits for the whole of March and the first week of April too.
