OK, since I seem to be slipping up a bit on getting the rest of this issue blogged (oh, it’s been read for a couple of days, but I can’t get around to blogging it), I’m going to do a recap of what I thought of the last half of the magazine:
It makes me laugh [...]

Well, I’ve wrapped up another issue (yippee!!!!). I’m not doing a separate “What Oprah Knows For Sure” entry because Oprah doesn’t talk about beauty in the beauty issue. Maybe Oprah feels ugly. Maybe she doesn’t feel like she knows something about beauty for sure. What she does know is that when [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Done with another issue! Done with volume one! Can you believe it? That in and of itself is a gift–the knowledge that I’ve reached a bit of a milestone. One volume down, seven+ to go.
I liked the giving issue because I think giving is fun. It’s good to remember that [...]

I thought it would be a breeze to blog this issue, but it still took quite a long time. Nevertheless, I’m glad to be continuing on with my goal.
Even though I try to be grateful in my everyday life, I learned from this issue that I can stand to be even more thankful for [...]

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 [...]

Issue 4 is in the bag, so I feel like I’m on a roll. I haven’t compared how I’m doing based on the calendar and how much time I have left to finish all the issues, but right now I feel good.
It’s another issue chock-full of information–I’ve got a bunch of bookmarks marking things I [...]
