Well, I’m finished with another issue. Yes, I skipped more articles–improve your body image was one. This involves looking in a mirror and complimenting ten specifics about your body. Repeat with your personality because apparently if you believe how good you are, you’ll carry yourself better. I’m not sure I need to work on the [...]

Remember when the Texas cattle ranchers sued Oprah for supposedly defaming the beef industry? Well, Oprah’s “What I Know For Sure” column this month talks about that episode in her life. She didn’t really understand why this was happening, and even though she believes everything happens for a reason, she couldn’t quite figure out what [...]
Enjoying Fall

October 2000’s “Breathing Space” picture is really nice. You see a white, high-backed bench through a series of trellises covered with ivy. The ivy on the trellis in the foreground has turned red with the season.
I love fall–October is my favorite month. The air is crisp, it’s usually sunny, the leaves turn beautiful colors. Somehow, [...]

In the “Healthy 4 2000″ section of Vol. 1, Iss. 4, Bob Greene, Oprah’s fitness guru, writes an article about emotional eating and how to get a handle on it. Perhaps if I’d paid attention 7 years ago, I wouldn’t have had to spend a bunch of money going to a weight loss center (though, [...]
How Much Should We Spend This Month?
Posted in The O List, Vol. 1 Iss. 4, tagged o list, o magazine, Vol. 1 Iss. 4 on March 20, 2008 | No Comments »
Thank goodness for The O List to take all the heaviness away! I’ve skipped over a few articles I thought about mentioning–a Sally Field essay where she talks about career transitions and being afraid and sometimes you just have to take that first little step, and the rest kind of works itself out.
I also [...]
Again with the Personal Thoughts!
Posted in Something to Think About, Vol. 1 Iss. 4, trust, tagged o magazine, trust, Vol. 1 Iss. 4 on March 20, 2008 | No Comments »
I don’t want to do the “Something to Think About” questions. I’m tired of them. Only four issues in, and I’m tired of the constant self-examination. Though, now that I look at these, I suppose they aren’t too bad:
“Think of the person you trust the most. How has he or she earned your confidence?” Well, [...]
Oprah’s Personal Growth Summits
Posted in Monthly Mission, Vol. 1 Iss. 4, trust, tagged o magazine, oprah, purpose in life, trust, Vol. 1 Iss. 4 on March 20, 2008 | No Comments »
Issue 4 has a long Oprah-penned article about the Personal Growth Summits she held in the summer of 2000. Did you go? I didn’t, but this article summing them up a bit might help me.
Oprah says she believes, “the universe dreams a bigger dream for you than you can dream for yourself.” It’s up to [...]
Strengthening the Muscle of Self-Truth

One of the “Live Your Best Life” articles is called “Tune in to Yourself ” by Barbara Graham. I originally hadn’t planned on writing about it because the first part is a story on how the author should’ve listened to her gut and not married this guy she divorced a year after the wedding. [...]

This month Suze Orman doesn’t take reader questions. Instead, she writes about 12 things that can break your budget. She understands when people try to budget and then wonder where the heck all their money went. Here are Suze’s budget breakers:
“Clothing bought on sale.” Maybe you’re thinking, “What??? But I got a deal!” Suze’s point [...]
Trust, Respect, Friendship–Dr. Phil’s Finding Themes
Posted in Dr. Phil, Vol. 1 Iss. 4, trust, tagged Dr. Phil, o magazine, trust, Vol. 1 Iss. 4 on March 18, 2008 | No Comments »
After only four issues, I’m starting to get a little bored of Dr. Phil. There’s yet another question about spousal trust, another question about spousal respect, and another question about balancing friendships. The spousal trust topic has been talked about in three of the first four issues. Dr. Phil only answers three questions an issue, [...]
