Done with issue 3! I didn’t blog about a few things I want to mention: The fashion spread that included the poncho (oh, the poncho trend! I never got into that one, but that was a big hit for a year or so). The picture and blurb about Marion Jones (who, after winning many gold [...]

You Are What You Believe
Posted in Vol. 1 Iss. 3, What Oprah Knows For Sure, tagged beliefs, o magazine, oprah, power of thought, Vol. 1 Iss. 3 on March 14, 2008 | No Comments »
Oprah’s last-page column hits hard: You become what you believe–not what you wish or want but what you truly believe. Wherever you are in life, look at your beliefs. They put you there.
That’s strong stuff. She illustrates it with a few examples like never believing that she would be stuck struggling to maintain a house [...]
Breathing on the Porch

This month’s “Breathing Space” feature is a wicker rocking chair on a porch of a farmhouse. You’re looking past some flowers onto a lush green lawn and then into a wheat field. It’s a nice picture.
I’m trying to picture myself here “gently rocking in this chair, listening to the sounds of nature–and to your own [...]
Oprah and Martha
Posted in O Interview, Perfection, Vol. 1 Iss. 3, tagged interview, martha stewart, o magazine, oprah, Perfection, Vol. 1 Iss. 3 on March 14, 2008 | No Comments »
I wanted to talk about this month’s Oprah interview because Martha Stewart is another person who wants to help you–not so much self-help, as much as helping with practical things like entertaining and cooking. It’s also pre-jail Martha, which is kind of interesting as well. She does mention a couple of times how she’s responsible [...]

Thoughts on the Run
Posted in O to Go, Thought, Vol. 1 Iss. 3, tagged o magazine, power of thought, Vol. 1 Iss. 3 on March 14, 2008 | No Comments »
Every issue has these postcards you can tear out and put somewhere handy–nice thoughts that you can dwell on whenever you need to. I haven’t talked about them yet because I either haven’t felt moved by the quotes or felt the need to expound on them.
Quotations are interesting–they can be really inspirational, but they can [...]
Your Thoughts Are Your Life
Posted in Let's Talk, Monthly Mission, Thought, Vol. 1 Iss. 3, tagged o magazine, oprah, power of thought, Vol. 1 Iss. 3 on March 14, 2008 | No Comments »
I like Oprah because on some levels I can relate to her–or I feel that she can relate to me. I like the fact that I know she’s human, and she’s willing to admit her flaws in front of millions. She constantly says that she’s a work in progress, and I’m like that too. I [...]
Calendaring Your Thoughts
Posted in Calendar, Monthly Mission, Thought, Vol. 1 Iss. 3, tagged o magazine, power of thought, Vol. 1 Iss. 3 on March 14, 2008 | No Comments »
I forgot to take a look at this month’s calendar before I dove into Dr. Phil and Suze Orman. I suppose old habits die hard–whenever the magazine arrived, I’d read their columns first, then put the magazine away to read later (I didn’t realize it would be almost eight years later). So let [...]
Time to Change my Mind
Posted in Something to Think About, Vol. 1 Iss. 3, tagged o magazine, power of thought, Vol. 1 Iss. 3 on March 14, 2008 | No Comments »
Is it bad that I’m relieved there are only two questions in the “Something to Think About” feature this issue? In terms of this month’s theme, the power of thought, I’m not having an easy time. The other day was rough for me–lots of negative thoughts about being able to write, being able to get [...]
