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 [...]

I’ll be interested to see how Oprah’s “What I Know For Sure” columns vary when the theme of the issue is the same. Will it be a repeat? Will her views change over time? We’ll find out when I go backwards to look at the other beauty issue.
This time though, she thinks she’s figured out [...]

One of the questions I had about reading every issue of O was that would things start repeating. You see it in other magazines–every year there seem to be stories on the same topics. I wondered if this magazine would do the same thing (especially if themes are repeated).
The answer is yes, and I’ve found [...]

In the last column of the self-esteem issue (March 2001), Oprah tells a story from her childhood when she went way over the top on a book report, and was publicly acknowledged in class by her teacher. The teacher went on to say that everyone should put in as much effort as Oprah did. Needless [...]

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 [...]

The “What I Know For Sure” essay in vol. 1 iss. 6 hones in on the intentions of giving. Oprah says if you give because you simply want to give, your generosity will be returned to you. Maybe not from where you put your giving energies, but in some way, the favor will [...]

Did you know that Oprah keeps a daily gratitude journal? She’s taken the advice of Sarah Ban Breathnach and writes down at least five things she’s grateful for. They run the gamut from the simple things in life to important things like health. She does this because she believes that when you’re [...]

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 [...]

Oprah’s last-page column hits hard: You become what you believe–not what you wish or want but what you truly believe. Wherever you are in life, look at your beliefs. They put you there.
That’s strong stuff. She illustrates it with a few examples like never believing that she would be stuck struggling to maintain a house [...]
