Here we go with the first beauty issue–O Magazine April 2006. As Oprah explains in the “Here We Go!” column, the question they want you to answer is, “Do you like the way you look?” I think they want you to get to, “Yes, I do.” After all, this magazine is about [...]

The calendar in the “Success” issue (Sept. 2001) is gung-ho on getting you to understand that successful achievements aren’t just big, glamorous awards. They’re also the little things, like having a healthy baby, accepting the way you look, not letting failure stop you, getting rid of debt. “When you understand success as a [...]

I have to commend the calendar in the “Getting Unstuck” issue.  I think the advice offered in it is useful and really covers a broad range of situations that would need help.  Most of them, however, aren’t mine.  That’s OK though.  I’m feeling a little bit better about my project–just need to keep plugging away [...]

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 [...]

I totally forgot the calendar page in issue 2. It’s still there, announcing this month’s mission, giving you tasks to do and/or think about to help you live in the moment. They’re actually pretty simple: “Be silly today;” “Do one fun, spontaneous thing that makes you laugh at yourself…” (though if you’re [...]

Since time is of the essence, I’m going to go through my Courage Journal a little quickly.  Some points are “stuff to do,” so I don’t need to reflect here.  I do think I have a fair amount of courage–I like trying new things, and I’m not necessarily afraid of putting myself into a new [...]
