There is no way to watch Ellen and stay in a bad, sad or depressed mood. Her joy of life fills the hearts of everyone who watches.
What a gift she has and shares!
First time I have watched this. What? Bagpipes playing "Scotland the Brave". Where is the connection? Why the bagpipes? Trying to work out the connection between Scotland and New Orleans. Unless you have all got Scottish roots. The only thing I can think is the Slave Trade. "Amazing Grace" would have been more apt. New Orleans was a hub of activity in those days. Actually Ellen, you should be well versed in the history of New Orleans.
I loved seeing you arrive in lemo!!! Motorcycle police escort!!! COOL!!!!
I now get the lost in the woods!! Yes.. we should follow our own paths!!!! Don't be a copy cat!!! You can admire.. but be yourself... be true to yourself .. follow your passions/dreams.. but if your lost in the woods and see a path..follow that!!! LIKE IT!!!!
3 days ago I was thinking paths in woods are created by humans or by wild animals.. wolf packs/bears/coyotes..etc... so I hope the path that I do follow was created by humans that would lead me out of the woods and thus releasing me from my lostness and not a wild animal trail leading me to a bear's den!!!! SCARY!!!!! HELP!!! AAAAHHHHhhhhhhhhhh.... darn that Ellen!!!.. but if It happened to be a trail that got me out of the woods.. out of trouble/freedom trail to I know where I am now!!! Then I'd be like... YES!!! ELLEN IS RIGHT!!!!
Love your comedy routines and when you share with us!
Ellen, you have done so much for me - I can't begin to scratch the surface of what you done in my life, just through watching you on your show. I was a very depressed person always worried where our next dollar would come from, how I could ever get healthier, how can we fix our house among many other problems. I started watching your show and my whole outlook on life has changed. I am rarely depressed now, because I keep thinking about your motto "live, dance, love" and I become inspired. Funny thing about depression is that it is a "disease" that is easy to hide from your friends and family - only my husband knew what I was going through - and his joy in the change in me because of you knows no bounds. Thanks so much for the happiness and laughter and inspiration and hope you bring to me and others.
I couldnt agree more with Julie Lott. I could be in the worst of moods either depressed or mad and watching your show can always bring a smile to my face. You are truly an awesome and strong woman. I thank Mama for your existence and thank you for being you!
I just watched your speech to the college students at Tulane University. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You are fabulous, and anyone who has the pleasure of your existence in their daily lives, will witness true happiness just watching you. Your speech was fantastic, keep up the good work!
