I have days where I feel down (like today) and I get a nudge from someplace reminding me that I haven’t been working on this project very much at all. It’s like the vacation photos that have piled up or dishes that need to be washed (though obviously, the dishes get taken care of first). [...]

I Knew This Would Happen!
Posted in General, tagged General on July 11, 2008 | No Comments »
Uh oh. The August Oprah came in today’s mail. That means I really need to get on the horn and get July done. But I’ve been working on some network building, meaning I’m trying to maximize the MySpace profile. If you want to be buddies, just holler!
Starting Up the Topic of MEN
Posted in General, Men, Vol. 9 Iss. 7, tagged General, Men, o magazine on June 16, 2008 | No Comments »
I kind of like looking at the latest issue–that way, if some part of it interests you, you can still go out and buy it. Therefore, next up is July 2008: Men! What Are They Thinking? Plus, summer reading recommendations.
Men is a popular topic with O Magazine. It’s been covered [...]
Where’s the Light?
Posted in General, tagged General, o magazine, Oprah Project on June 8, 2008 | No Comments »
Yesterday, ANOTHER issue of Oprah showed up in my mailbox. I felt pretty frustrated–although I did get through the June 2008 issue just fine in the allotted time, I haven’t made much progress on the back issues. I think the way I approach this blog has to change. Otherwise I’ll never finish this project.
I’m just [...]
Change Can Be Beautiful
Posted in General, Vol. 9 Iss. 6, What Jill Knows For Sure, beauty, tagged beauty, change, o magazine, oprah, personal, Vol. 9 Iss. 6 on June 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, I’m done with another issue. I’m still struck by all the change that’s going on in O-land. Lots more advice dispensed–I didn’t even get into the advice panel, style q&a, beauty q&a, health/food advice, and relationship questions. It’s as if all we want now are the answers to life’s problems. [...]
No More Questions!
Posted in General, tagged General, o magazine, self-help on May 28, 2008 | No Comments »
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 [...]
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 [...]
Can You Have Success Without Excellence?
Posted in General, tagged life, o magazine, oprah's big give, personal on May 13, 2008 | No Comments »
If I was generally asking that question, I believe the answer would be “yes.” There’s a lot of people making money (if that is the way you want to define success) or getting promoted without putting forth an excellent product.
What I’m really talking about is that I’ve managed to misplace the “Excellence” issue somewhere in [...]
