I was saddened to hear the tragic news today that 10-year-old Shiloh Pepin had died. I am usually wary when deaths are first reported on the Internet but legitimate news sources including "The Chicago Tribune" and "AOL News" have reported her death."
Shiloh Pepin was born with an extremely rare medical condition "mermaid syndrome" and many people referred to her as the "mermaid girl."
Shiloh Pepin recently appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show on September 22, 2009 where she talked about having "mermaid syndrome" and showed off her spunky personality.
It was a miracle that Shiloh Pepin lived until the age of ten, doctors thought she wouldn't live past the first few days of life. But Siloh defied the odds.
Even though the public is well aware of her medical problems, Shiloh's death still comes as a shock. Many people have been touched by Shiloh Pepin's courage and positive attitude. Here's a video clip featuring Shiloh Pepin:
Greg Smith may be in jail for robbery but he's far from heartless. The young man appeared via satellite on today's Oprah 23, 2009 episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show along one of his victims, Angela Montez.
Angela Montez feared for her life when Greg Smith stuck a gun in her face as he attempted to rob the cash advance store where she worked.
Montez and Smith began to talk to one another and even prayed together before Smith handed her over the bullet to his gun to prove to her she was safe.
Greg Smith has a fiance and young daughter and being out of work, the 23-year-old felt pressure to find a job and prove he was a man to his family. Desperate, he committed two robberies, but during the second robbery with Angela Montez realized the intensity of his mistake.
Smith soon turned himself into authorities. Greg Smith's mother, fiance, and daughter joined Oprah on today's show, where the theme was basically about "divine intervention." Greg Smith felt as though God were present the day of the second robbery and somehow spoke through Angela Montez.
Smith apologized to all of his victims including Angela Montez, Angela told Greg Smith on the Oprah show that she forgives him and understands, but that she is still traumatized by the event.
The following video clip features more on the Greg Smith story:
When Oprah Winfrey discovers a fantastic product she loves to share it with her audience. Today's October 22, 2009 Oprah Show featured Oprah's latest favorite things.
Cookie Johnson Jeans
First Oprah talked about her love of "Cookie Johnson" Jeans (CJ Jeans) which are specifically designed for curvy women, including those with a "big booty."
When Oprah discovered how well CJ Jeans fit her and how comfortable they were they quickly became her favorite jeans. Cookie Johnson Jeans are high end and they definitely aren't cheap, they cost between $141 to $198, so the average woman will have to save up to splurge and buy a pair.
Oprah introduced her viewers to more of her favorite things. The Vuzix Wrap 310 High Tech Video Glasses which let you see a widescreen view as you watch movies or play video games.
High Tech Video Glasses
These amazing video glasses are priced at $250 but you can find the Vuzix iWear Video Glasses On Amazon.com
The Livescribe Pulse Smartpen
Another of Oprah's latest favorite "gadgets" is the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen
This futuristic pen is great for a busy student who needs to record classes, and of course it's also perfect for spies. This pen is a bit pricey at $200 but I found the "Livescribe Pulse Smartpen" listed for $169.94 on Amazon.com.
Oprah's Favorite Vegan Cookbook
Oprah is also really excited about the "vegan" recipes found in the cookbook "The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat
