This month Dr. Phil wants to get to the root of your problems, which means you may be upset about something, but there might be a bigger/deeper problem behind the general fussiness. Here’s this month’s questions:
My husband won’t help clean the house. It really bothers me, and he doesn’t notice. What [...]

Introducing Issue 2
Posted in Reactions, Vol. 1 Iss. 2, tagged Reactions, Vol. 1 Iss. 2 on February 26, 2008 | No Comments »
Part of accomplishing a goal is sticking with it, which means although it was a great feeling to finish blogging about issue 1, I had to get back on the horse and start in with issue 2. Otherwise, I’d never reach my goal.
I did finish issue 2 last night. It’s still pretty ambitious on the [...]
Packing a Punch
Posted in Vol. 1 Iss. 1, What Jill Knows For Sure, tagged issue 1, know for sure, Vol 1 on February 22, 2008 | No Comments »
The premiere issue really does whallop you over the head with a lot of good things, which means for me a huge pile of stuff to get together. I kind of wonder how much time they took to put this issue together and if subsequent issues will be just as loaded with content. [...]
True Happiness, Oprah Style
Posted in Happiness, Vol. 1 Iss. 1, What Oprah Knows For Sure, tagged Happiness, oprah, Vol. 1 Iss. 1 on February 22, 2008 | No Comments »
The first issue (and I presume every other issue) ends with a little Oprah-authored essay called “What I Know For Sure.” She likes this phrase–I think being sure about things is a big deal for a lot of people. It gives you a bit of extra confidence.
In this essay, Oprah talks about happiness, and that [...]
Declutter!
Posted in Clutter/Organization, Vol. 1 Iss. 1, tagged clutter, organization, Vol. 1 Iss. 1 on February 22, 2008 | No Comments »
Another article I felt strongly about in the premiere issue was “When Less Is Really More” by Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D. It’s basically a “get rid of the clutter in your life” article, and if you put it into a little bit of historical context, I believe this was published before all the big [...]
Doing Your Life’s Calling
Posted in Monthly Mission, Vol. 1 Iss. 1, tagged life calling, Monthly Mission, Vol. 1 Iss. 1 on February 22, 2008 | No Comments »
A lot of the premiere issue has to do with finding your passion and doing what you want with your life. There are a couple of examples of women who have gone from fancy job or being a mom who wants a part-time job, to doing something they love. I like reading articles [...]
Getting Into the Groove
Posted in General, tagged struggles, Vol. 1 Iss. 1 on February 22, 2008 | No Comments »
You’ll have to bear with me while I try to get into a groove and figure out the best way to write about this magazine. I don’t really want to comment on every article (though I will point out that Issue 1 has an article about how to use the Internet, and almost 8 [...]
The New Rules
Posted in General, tagged o magazine, oprah, the project on February 22, 2008 | No Comments »
Like I said, I need to start this project over again and focus on completing it. After all, these O Magazines aren’t going away. I’ll pick up where I left off, which is partway through Issue 1. Setting the deadline is the bigger problem: I currently have ninety-three magazines. [...]
Doing a Restart
Posted in Vol. 1 Iss. 1 on February 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
OK. A couple of things have happened in the last couple of months: I quit my day job to write full-time (following the dream, which is in issue 1, but Oprah’s not the reason I quit), and we re-upped the lease on the apartment, so we’ll be here another year. That doesn’t [...]
