Take challenge, “What Can You Live Without?” for chance to get on “Oprah”
Want to learn something about your family, “feel a lot of love” and possibly get on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”?
Take the “What Can You Live Without?” Challenge. To take part, you need to follow these guidelines for seven days and report back to Oprah:
Cut out all technology — no televisions, video games, cell phones, computers, MP3 players or anything else you may use on a daily basis.
No eating out. Everyone must eat dinner at home as a family and brown bag it for lunch.
Curb your spending! The only items you can buy are groceries, and try to buy what you need for the week for $125.
Plan an inexpensive, creative family outing. You may spend a small amount of money on this if necessary.
Choose one family activity that gives back to others.
Mom and Dad: Plan one date night so you can connect as a couple.
No working late.
At the end of that week, see if you can go for another week and add some of your family’s own rules to the challenge. Then share your experiences with Oprah.
And, according to Oprah, it will not only be a great money-saver — you’ll have a great time.
“You’re going to reconnect as a family. You’re going to find out what each other’s real interests are, what everybody’s been thinking, what everybody’s been feeling. You’re going to feel a lot of love.”
I wonder if Oprah is speaking from experience.
At any rate, it could be interesting. And, even if you don’t get on Oprah, we’d like to hear from you. Let us know how your family does on this challenge and you could be featured in the newspaper next month.
Best of luck!
