Ellen,

I am sad you haven't been able to dance. I have read through the comments today and see others have given some advice to deal with your back pain. I am also going to give you some. I was in a car accident 3 yrs ago and have suffered back pain ever since. 2 weeks ago my back became inflamed and I was unable to take any medication as I was due for a tonsillectomy ( yeah ), I decided to try aromatherapy. It worked, you will need Portia's help with this:
first apply extra virgin olive oil to your back, make sure it is enough that you can see finger trace marks in it. Than apply 3 drops along the spine of peppermint essential oil. Massage using feather strokes outward 3 times. Follow with 5 drops of cypress essential oil, use same massage technique. Last apply 5 drops of spruce essential oil, massage it in and cover with hot compress.
It has been my only relief during recovery from my surgery.
I hope this works for you.
Life has thrown me some curve balls in recent times and I love that you make me laugh everyday. Someday I hope to make it to see the show live, you really lift my spirits. I would like to say thank you, have a great holiday :)

Ellen, I love your show and I know about your giveaways but I am just 11 years old and I don't think I have ever heard anyone ask you what you wanted for Christmas. What would you like? I can't afford much but I am an artist and I would like to know where I can send you and Portia a gift I have made for the two you. Please get back to me and let me know where to send it.

Love Anna Greenys

Ellen I have entered everyday and I'm still praying I hear from you. I have 7 children from 3 to 15 and 3 have mental disabilities your my only hope for a Christmas this year please please help us out we love your show and hope to hear from you happy holidays the Wallace family

Hello, Please Please Please read my letter... My name is Ann... I am devistated this holiday season because I lost my Husband, Soul Mate and Best Friend of 22 years!! He was my rock, and the glue that held my life together.... On Sept 15th he went to work, and as I kissed him goodbye, neither of us knew that it was our last kiss... He went into cardiac arrest, and didn't come back... Danny was a Military Veteran... He served during the Vietnam era, and Desert Storm... Today I am alone, and financially devistated! Today is Dec 17th, and I don't have money to pay rent, utilities or anything! It is depressing to find myself in this situation, not only at Christmas, but knowing that by New Years Day, I may be homeless as well.. Please Help me! I know that I can get back on my feet... But I need help to get back up... Thank You! Ann Davenport P.O. Box 521 Stephenville, Texas, 76401

i love your show.. wish i could join and win some of your giveaways i could really use them.. thanks!!

Merry christmas!!

Ellen, I have been so busy packing things to send back to my EX's house to store that I haven't had time to watch, so Al may have been a winner and didn't know it. Oh well, that's life. I will watch today, just in case. I sure could use some help right now. My son is coming in from New York for Chritmas and I only have 1 more day to get things done and I haven't bake 1 batch of cookies yet, nor made pralines. Maybe he will help me when he gets here, after resting. I tried to order O magazine with you and Oprah on the cover, but it said sold out and I have been to every book store I can find. Oh well, that's life. New Orleans got a bad flood again and Kenner even flooded--just too much rain. Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and Portia. Hugs, Pat

Ellen,
To start off,I really love your show and wanted to tell you how great of a person you are for making sure people in need are taken care of.You mean so much to so many, I have watched you touch so many lives.
My husband got laid off in November,so I know what alot of these people are going through, its a bad time of the year for a layoff,when there are children involved. We have 2 children 16 and 11.
I have signed up for your 12 days of give aways but I'm never the lucky one that wins. So I just wanted to Thank-You for the holiday spirit you bring into our home.

Never lose the big heart you have it really shows who you are and how great you are..

hi ellen i read your freedom thing about uganda as i read that a tear ran down my face because you cant hep who love you cant decide your emotions everyone has the right to love the one that makes them happy that makes them feel loved and warm the one that makes them feel alive so so what if someone feels those emtions from the same sex everyone has the right to feel happy joyus alive it shouldnt matter if its female and female or male and male it shouldnt matter ellen that makes me sad its the worse thing ever no one should have to hide their true self because of some stupid law that says they cant love who they want that the cant be happy because their gay its not right

love you ellen
