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 [...]

A Little Magazine Beautification

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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Not Stuck, Just Looking for Validation

I haven’t been around for a couple of days. I’ll be the first to admit that some of it’s due to procrastination (though somewhere in my building, there’s a person who practices piano for hours at a time. I’ve heard the improvement, and every time I hear the ivories, I think it’s time for me [...]
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, [...]

When last we left our heroine, she’d finished 6 Oprahs, successfully completing volume one. Although way behind on her original timeline to finish every issue by July 4, she was feeling pretty happy about what she’d accomplished so far. After all, setting and achieving goals was pretty difficult for her, so to make some actual [...]
Oprah’s Giving Ideas
Posted in Giving, Here We Go, generosity, vol. 1 iss. 6, tagged oprah, o magazine, vol. 1 iss. 6, Giving on April 1, 2008 | No Comments »
In Oprah’s opening letter of this giving issue, she writes:
At this time of year, you can easily be overwhelmed by the pressure to buy, get, respond and participate–all in the spirit of the holidays. Don’t let yourself be taken. Instead, give. And give only what comes directly from your spirit. You can offer so much [...]
An A-Ha Moment!

I just had an a-ha moment in the shower and wanted to share it with you before I moved on to Dr. Phil. I was thinking about what type of person I wanted to be, and I thought of a couple of different things:
I recently went to a TV show taping, and the audience members [...]
Change is More than Skin-Deep
Posted in Here We Go, Monthly Mission, Vol. 1 Iss. 4, trust on March 18, 2008 | No Comments »
Sigh. Oprah’s kick-off to this month’s issue isn’t good news for an American who wants some instant gratification. Change, she says, isn’t like getting a makeover. To make a real change, you really need to decide who you want to be. She differentiates who you are from what you do or how you look and [...]
