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 [...]

A Sense of Deja Vu

So I’m reading Oprah’s “Here We Go” column in the “Success” issue (Sept. 2001) and I feel like I’ve read this advice before. Oprah says you have to define what success is for you–you can’t try to fit into someone else’s definition–and that this issue is devoted to helping you figure out what your own [...]
Introducing Excellence

In my attempts to survive alongside a similarly-themed blog, I’ve used O Magazine to build up my self-esteem a little bit. Now I’m going to look at the “Excellence” issue (December 2003) to challenge myself to produce good work–the best I can. Then I’ll look at “Success” (September 2001) to see how I [...]
Feeling Better

OK, I’ve finished the self-esteem bits of the March 2001 issue. I’ll go back to the rest of the issue once I’m finished with my LO dilemma (competition from another blog….or self-perceived competition from another blog).
I have to say this issue has helped me a lot. Mostly with self-esteem, you have to learn [...]
Take a Risk, You Baby!

You know how sometimes you read an article and the subject really speaks to you? Well, after reading an interview with David K. Reynolds, Ph.D. about self-esteem, I felt he was speaking directly to me. What did he say? “Babybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybaby!”
The article in question is “The Radical Road to Self-Esteem.” Reynolds teaches a theory called Constructive [...]
Getting Over Myself
Posted in Dilemma-LO, Dr. Phil, Self-Esteem, vol. 2 iss. 3, tagged Dr. Phil, o magazine, Self-Esteem, vol. 2 iss. 3 on May 6, 2008 | No Comments »
I haven’t been around for a few days–I’m sorry for that. Part of it’s because I’m still trying to fit this project in with some everyday work. The other reason is that I’m still licking some wounds from being kicked to the curb (figuratively) by Dr. Phil.
In the self-esteem issue (March 2001), Dr. Phil takes [...]
Getting Unstuck Day By Day
Posted in Calendar, Dilemma-LO, Getting Unstuck, vol. 6 iss. 9, tagged Calendar, Dilemma-LO, Getting Unstuck, o magazine, vol. 6 iss. 9 on April 27, 2008 | No Comments »
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 [...]
Can I Become Unstuck From Myself?

It’s Sunday morning here in Chicago, and the Boy has just gone off to compete in a fencing tournament. He hasn’t competed in a long time and he needs to renew his rating this year (fencers are rated by letters to show how well they do in competition–if you compete well against good fencers, [...]
I’m Dreaming Big Now Too!
Posted in Dilemma-LO, Dreams, Vol. 3 Iss. 9, What Jill Knows For Sure, tagged Dreams, o magazine, Vol. 3 Iss. 9, What Jill Knows For Sure on April 26, 2008 | No Comments »
OK, although I’m not quite done with this issue, I’m done with the themed bits that will help me get through my dilemma of perceived competition. I feel better. I feel inspired. I do have this dream to become a writer, and I think this project is a way to get me there. Instead of [...]
Oprah Knows How to Dream Big
Posted in Dilemma-LO, Dreams, Vol. 3 Iss. 9, What Oprah Knows For Sure, tagged Dilemma-LO, Dreams, o magazine, Vol. 3 Iss. 9, What Oprah Knows For Sure on April 26, 2008 | No Comments »
I will say that Oprah is one woman who has dreamt big and really made it happen. In her “What I Know for Sure” essay in this Dreams issue, she talks about dreaming about working in television, but she didn’t want to be a big celebrity. Instead she focused on the process and became a [...]
