I was trying to think about what else was different with this issue–something was missing, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. A couple of hours later, I realized the “Something To Think About” questions are gone.
Blow me over!
As a casual reader, I’m glad this feature is gone because I hated answering [...]

A Little Magazine Beautification
Posted in General, Here We Go, Vol. 9 Iss. 6, tagged beauty, General, magazines, o magazine, Vol. 9 Iss. 6 on May 28, 2008 | No Comments »
Whoa! This magazine has changed since the last issue I read….granted, I’m still reading a lot of the earlier days, but still. The calendar is gone, there are a lot more advice columnists, there’s a lot of synergy among media properties (log on to oprah.com and tell us how this story affected you!), and who [...]
Beauty on Tap
Posted in General, Vol. 9 Iss. 6, tagged beauty, change, magazines, o magazine, personal on May 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, in the last several weeks I’ve been able to use O Magazine to help me out with a personal issue I’ve been having. Although that didn’t really get me much farther in the count of “how many magazines I have read,” it did get me halfway through a couple more issues. More [...]

Well, this is kind of a wrap-up–I’ve finished the themed portion of another issue. I’ll come back to the rest of it at another point during this project.
What have I learned about success? Well, it’s good to want success–but not to think about it like that. It’s more of a “be the best you can [...]
Oprah Knows Success
Posted in Success, Vol. 2 Iss. 9, What Oprah Knows For Sure, tagged life, o magazine, oprah, personal, Success, Vol. 2 Iss. 9, What Oprah Knows For Sure on May 22, 2008 | No Comments »
One of the questions I had about reading every issue of O was that would things start repeating. You see it in other magazines–every year there seem to be stories on the same topics. I wondered if this magazine would do the same thing (especially if themes are repeated).
The answer is yes, and I’ve found [...]
Is It Ambition or Goal-Oriented?
Posted in Ambition, Success, Vol. 2 Iss. 9, tagged Ambition, career, life, o magazine, personal, Success, Vol. 2 Iss. 9, work on May 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The success issue has an article on ambition that consists of many different successful women talking about the topic. Some describe it as good for women to have, as long as you don’t get too greedy (Leona Helmsley comes up a couple of times. Others say ambition is the scarlet letter A: [...]
Stamina, Success, and Failure
Posted in Success, Vol. 2 Iss. 9, tagged career, failure, life, o magazine, personal, stamina, Success, Vol. 2 Iss. 9 on May 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m getting to the point where I feel like I’ve got to move on already and finish up this issue, so let me combine a few articles.
First off, there’s an article on stamina. If you’re a great woman, you’ve had to have stamina to get there. Oprah tells us she’s full of this [...]
Success in Your Career

In the success issue there’s an article I was kind of reluctant to write about because I don’t know how much I can get from it. It’s about work consultant Ronna Lichtenberg and her seminars called “Investing in Me, Inc.“ In the article, she takes a group of women through her seminar. Their experiences and [...]
Success in Numbers
Posted in General, Success, tagged life, personal, Success on May 19, 2008 | No Comments »
On Friday I had what I consider to be a massive amount of hits. It’s a drop in the bucket compared to most popular websites, but I thought it was some great progress.
The interesting side effect of this “success” is that I immediately thought, “Why are these people reading my site? How did they find [...]
Thinking About Success
Posted in Something to Think About, Success, Vol. 2 Iss. 9, tagged o magazine, Vol. 2 Iss. 9, Success on May 16, 2008 | No Comments »
I’m not really keyed up with the four “Something to Think About” questions this month–I tend to whine a bit about the questions, but I think I’m getting a handle on defining success for me (being OK with my definition is taking a little bit of work, as is fulfilling my ambition, but that will [...]
