Back in 2011, Tam wrote the most beautiful letter to The Oprah Winfrey Show about how our friendship resembled her friendship with Gayle. We were blessed to have been chosen to attend the taping on 4/11/11 during Oprah's 25th season.

The show, which was filled with Best Friends, also featured Oprah's Best Friend, Gayle King.  During the show, Oprah gave everyone a fantastic trip to the Miraval Spa & Resort in Arizona (airfare, meals, transportation to and from the resort, and massages all paid for).  How lucky were we :-)  We also had the privilege of sitting 2 feet away from Oprah and Gayle in the 2nd row, center. I even got a chance to ask Oprah a question, which they later posted on Oprah.com. Press play and listen to Oprah and Gayle answer my question.
