One
of Oprah's greatest lessons in the '90s was that everybody just wants
to be appreciated or validated. She had an aha! moment in 2000 when Toni
Morrison, author of The Bluest Eye, was on the show asking, "Does your
face light up [when you see children]?" because that allows your face to
speak how your heart feels.
After seeing this episode on Oprah's Life class, I started thinking of what my face says to not only my child but also my husband. I was ashamed to find I often felt annoyed and frustrated when they interrupted me and needed something when I was already busy. I now really try to make it a point to look at them happily, listen and not hurry them on their way.
How do you greet your children and husband when they come in a room?

Love, love, love that question! I enjoy Oprah's Life Class, and I learn so much from the speakers. I try to remember to greet my loved ones with a pleasant look on my face even if I'm feeling annoyed. Great advice.
