Tune in January 2nd to watch Susan Crossman on the Oprah Winfrey Network!

Back in the spring I was invited to participate in filming for a television program called “Oprah’s Truth Project” that was being developed for the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).  You may have read my blog about that experience.  The opportunity had cropped up out of the blue, as these things sometimes do, and it was an honour to be included in the show.

My interviewer, Dale Curd, asked me questions about “Love and Regret” and without spoiling the punch line, “Shades of Teale” figured in my answers.

There is a huge amount of work involved in putting a TV series together and after many months of attention to both the big picture vision of the program and the many details that make it work, the producers of the show have announced that the series, now renamed “Life Story,” will begin airing with back-to-back episodes on January 2^nd at 9:00 pm on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

I’ve been told that my segment will be airing on the inaugural night during either the 9:00 or 9:30 episode, so if you’re interested in seeing what I and other guests on the program have to say, I encourage you to tune in.

The series promises to be a great exploration of the human connection and it unrolls under the able guidance of hosts Andrea Syrtash and Dale Curd.

Andrea is a relationship expert, author and on-air personality. She writes extensively on the topic of relationships and speaks about effective relationships at events, conferences and in the media. Andrea is also a relationship coach who focuses on helping people live authentically in life and in love.  I’m told she is a highly sensitive individual with a gift for bringing the promise of strong relationships into authentic reality.

Dale,  who interviewed me, is a trained psychotherapist and an experienced communicator who specializes in decoding men’s issues and de-mystifying male behaviour. He contributes to numerous TV and radio programs and among his many other achievements, he co-founded and launched Changebullying, an experiential workshop for students that’s aimed at reducing the frequency and severity of bullying in schools.

I’m thrilled to be a part of this project and I hope you will join me in watching the entire series. I’ve heard that the show will be giving us all a taste of many heart-warming stories and I’m looking forward to the humbling messages of inspiration that are sure to be involved in the process.

As someone who feels enormous compassion for those of us on this journey called Life, I give the Oprah Winfrey Network and its “Life Story” partner, Corus Entertainment, a big tip of the hat for bringing us all a little closer to the stories that connect us all with our own humanity. We’re all in this together and it’s wonderful to be a part of a project that brings the point home in such powerful and poignant ways.

And best wishes for a bright week!
