The Emmy® Award-winning Series Featuring “Oprah & Bestselling Author Elizabeth Lesser: The Healing Power of Love” Airs Sunday, April 27, at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT on OWN
RHINEBECK, NY – Omega Institute cofounder and New York Times best-selling author, Elizabeth Lesser, sits down with Oprah Winfrey on the Emmy® Award-winning series “Super Soul Sunday” April 27, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. In this heartfelt episode, “The Healing Power of Love,” Oprah speaks with Elizabeth, who describes her sister’s battle with cancer and how becoming her bone marrow donor transformed their relationship.
Said Elizabeth Lesser, “All of us have conversations waiting to be had with the people in our lives—conversations about love and forgiveness, about what we need from each other and what we mean to each other. We don’t have to wait for a life-or-death situation to reveal what is in our hearts. That’s what I learned through this experience with my sister—that the greatest gift we can give is our most authentic self. That’s as life-giving as a bone marrow transplant.”
Viewers can join the conversation online via Oprah.com, Facebook, and Twitter using #SuperSoulSunday, @ElizabethLesser, @omega_institute. To find what channel OWN is on in your area, visit www.oprah.com/findown
