Sarah

I was reading the book William and Kate: The Love Story by Christopher Andersen a few weeks ago. In the last few pages of the book it mentioned Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. The blurb mentioned that she was going to have a show on the Oprah Winfrey Network, OWN, in June 2011. The show was called, Finding Sarah.

Reading that sentence, piqued my interest. I really didn't know that much about Sarah. Sarah married Prince Andrew when I was almost 7 years old. I vaguely remember their wedding. In 1996, Prince Andrew and Sarah divorced. They had two daughters during their marriage, Beatrice and Eugenie. Probably what I remember about her most was she was a spokesperson for Weight Watchers.

I did a search on the TV and found the show Finding Sarah. I DVR'd all six hour episodes. I found out that so much has gone on in her life. The biggest scandal was when she was caught by a newspaper reporter selling access to her former husband Prince Andrew for $40,000. Sarah is trying to rebuild her life after the scandal.

The six part series, follows Sarah as she changes her life. Over the course of the series, she receives help from Dr. Phil McGraw, Suze Orman, a shamn and a horse whisperer. Besides receiving help mentally, she also gets physical help also. Sarah wanted to get back into shape and agreed to do a 26 mile trek in Yellowknife, Canada with a trainer.

Throughout the six part series, the viewer can see the changes in her. The Duchess has come to terms with her past failures, family issues, scandals. After all of it, she looks at herself differently and has a better self worth. I enjoyed the series. It was a wonderful journey for Sarah and the viewer can see the changes in her. I hope she continues to have a positive outlook on life and to do what's best for herself.
