My expectations were through the roof for Wednesday afternoon’s Jane + Oprah power summit, but I’ll be damned if those two broads didn’t totally exceed them.

E-P-I-C.

I need to find out how that episode can live permanently in my Tivo queue, because I know I’ll want to watch it about 90 more times. (If you missed it, you can piece it together bit by bit with these snippets on Jane’s amazing site….)

A walking, talking billboard for staying fit — and working, working, working on your interior self as much as your exterior self — Jane was beaming and glowing the entire hour, no matter what dark tunnel Oprah tried to lead her down. Yes, she’s in love. And yes, she’s acting again after a whopper of a time-out. But she’s also involved in about 8 million charitable endeavors, and is an activist for all manner of causes, and I’m convinced that enhances her beauty ten-fold.

The whole thing was amazing, and I got (and will continue to get) so much out of it. I don’t want to spoil it for any of you mamas who haven’t yet seen it, but when she talks about her mother – and her regrets about the way she raised her own children – you’ll be reaching for the Kleenex.

After reading her memoir and going to see her on Broadway last year, I’m veering dangerously into stalker territory. But I find her such an inspiration. And really, who wouldn’t? She’s a two-time Oscar winner who devotes herself to helping others, all while continuing to evolve spiritually and emotionally. And please, let’s not forget those rock-hard, 72-year-old abs.
