The performance of "My Love" was aired for the very first time on television on August 31, 2008, during the 43rd annual MDA Labor Day Telethon. On October 28, 2008, an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show was dedicated to Dion, as well as several inspirational journeys of parents and their young children, who suffered from many diseases. Dion was featured throughout the special titled, Miracle Children with Celine Dion due to the personal struggles and difficulties she was facing at the time with childbirth. Towards the end of the special, she performed a live rendition of "My Love." The following day, Dion was forced to reschedule her October 30 concert in Minneapolis, as well many others in November 2008, citing illness as the cause for the postponements. On December 1, 2008, she performed "My Love" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. On December 13, 2008, her official website posted a behind-the-scenes clip of Dion in the recording sessions for the song, "There Comes a Time." The Taking Chances Tour ended on February 26 and on March 1, 2009, Dion gave her last public performance on Star Académie in Canada, singing a medley of her popular French and English-language songs alongside the contestants. Following the performance, Dion began her temporary retirement from the music industry, in order to focus time on her family and conceiving another child. Aside from the several televised appearances, "My Love" was performed throughout Dion's Taking Chances Tour, beginning with her concert in Seoul on March 18, 2008. "My Love" was included later on the Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert, released on DVD and CD in April 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
