This is one to pass on to your networks and client databases - if one of them wins as a result of your recommendation — instant hero status for you, not to mention great newsletter or blog fodder.
Oprah Winfrey is offering 50 five-day stays at Miraval Resort in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Miraval is on my personal short-list of places to spa, in future, possibly for my big 40 in 2010.

But you (or one of your network) could be there much, much sooner, this March to be exact. Details, courtesy of the Province, Travel Section page D9, Sunday January 14, 2007:

O, The Oprah Magazine is giving 50 women a “Live Your Life Vest Spa Week.” A team of fitness and life coaches will help each contest winner make lasting transformations during a five-day, four-night stay in March that will be filmed for an Oprah Winfrey Show.

Women 18 and older are invited to explain in 50 words or less why they need a spa vacation.

Send a stamped postcard with full name, address, date of birth and daytime telephone number to O, the Oprah Magazine.

Entries must be postmarked by February 12, 2007. Winners will be notified by telephone on or around February 27.

Obviously you must be willing to be on television as part of your experience. Stay tuned while I ask my PR partner-in-crime Suzanne Falter-Barns to post tips on how you might distinguish yourself in your 50 words.
