Just when I thought I couldn’t love Dr. Phil more than I already do, I watched the video he released yesterday, once again, using his platform and voice to support Israel and his Jewish Brothers and Sisters. He then turned the conversation toward some US Universities, condemning them for tolerating the antisemitism and Jewish genocide that continues to be spewed out across their campuses by their Presidents, calling for their immediate dismissals. He ended his video message by lighting candles on a Menorah in honour of the hostages. His message was both meaningful and heartfelt.

Many of you reading this may remember that way, way, WAY back in June of 2019, BC (Before Covid), my kids (and Rich) surprised me on my birthday with FRONT ROW seats to an upcoming “Interactive Evening” with the one and only Dr. Phil in Niagara Falls. After the tears, I immediately started counting down the days until his arrival that November, by then with my newly published and signed copy of my children’s book in hand that I was going to personally give to him (I knew the moderator!), but, just 2 weeks before the event, Rich received an email saying that due to a scheduling conflict, it had been postponed until May of 2020. Well, we all know what happened next…
But, still, I hung onto hope (and our tickets) that the event would be rescheduled one day. That was until several weeks ago when Rich was notified (almost 3 years later) that the event had officially been cancelled. My heart sank, but I also knew deep down that this day would come. It was the thought that counted and boy was this gift beyond thoughtful.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I have no shame in telling you that until Dr. Phil ended his 20 plus years on daytime television last spring, I had my PVR set to tape his show daily and dreamt of meeting him for years, feeling as though if anyone could “fix” me, it’d be him.
I guess, though, as the saying goes; sometimes, things in life just aren’t meant to be. Sometimes, no matter how bad you want something, you just have to try and let it go. But for all you Dr. Phil fans out there, the good news is, he’ll be returning to television in February, 2024, this time in prime time!! My PVR will be set once again, and my dream of meeting him in person will once again be kept alive.
