Oprah Winfrey hopes to help people stay positive during the pandemic with a special pre-Mother’s Day virtual event.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about resilience lately,” Winfrey tells
USA Today as she announced her 90-minute “Your Life in Focus: Spring Forward Stronger” event to take place on May 8 at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT. “Sometimes people think resilience is like bouncing back like you’re some kind of nerf ball. But it really is about absorbing the difficult moments, knowing that they’ve changed you, but moving forward anyway with a resolve to make it through.”
The source material for the series, which was confirmed by
THRin May 2019, is the 2018 novel of the same name by Moriarty.
Nine Perfect Strangers, the author s eighth adult novel, is set at a wellness retreat. In an interview with
The Guardian, Moriarty said she was inspired by this desire we all have for transformation. She continued, I can never see an article that says, ‘Just change this one thing about your life and you’ll be transformed forever’ even though you know when you click on it, it won’t work, I find it irresistible.”
