Brangelina. Tomkat. What about Marpah or perhaps Opratha?



Talk about a power couple. Perhaps after Obama turns the White house around (after multiple terms), Oprah and Martha will share a ticket.

Marpah News:

Oprah begins her biggest EVER bookclub/web caste today. The book is A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. Tolle aims to guide people toward "a saner, more loving world by rejecting egotistic ways for a new form of consciousness." I am a big fan of Eckhart Tolle although I find his style of spirituality difficult to practice without a lot of practice. I'm not a fan of web castes, however I would make an exception for this one if it wasn't scheduled to begin at 8 pm CST. Check it out if you are free. I'll be actively rejecting my ego by reading Good Night Gorilla, The Tractor Book and Sam's Potty for literally the hundredth or so time.

In other news, Martha had an interview on her show last week with Rob Kalin, a fellow that need not attend Oprah's web caste, having already been Awakened to his Life's Purpose. Rob is the founder of Etsy.com. The 27 year old took a leap of faith in 2005 when he founded the website etsy.com, a Brooklyn-based on line marketplace for all things handmade. In just three years, he has seen some remarkable results from his hard work and dedication: Since Etsy's launch, it has gained more than 750,000 members and currently has about 100,000 sellers from around the world that have opened up Etsy shops. On a given day, 15,000 items are sold and 20,000 new items are listed. Watch this exclusive video that gives the inside scoop on the creation of etsy.com, how people can get involved, and some of the success stories behind the company.
