Oprah's 55th Birthday Bash: Guess How Much
When you're a true mogul, birthday celebrations have to wait. But then, it's on. Oprah Winfrey blew out candles for her 55th birthday on January 29 but postponed the real party until her show was finished taping for the Summer.
Oprah's Requirements For a Truly Successful Life
'Tis the season of caps and gowns. Last year, Oprah spoke to Stanford's class of 2008 about her lessons on feelings, failure, and finding happiness, and this year the mogul lent her presence and words to Duke University's class of 2009. Her theme was success and her message was simple: money is great, but it's not everything.
Oprah's Favorite Things For 2008
When Oprah announced there was a twist to her famous favorite things episode this year, I was thrilled to learn the difference was in cost. It seems she is taking a note from TeamSugar members this year and promoting several homemade gifts that are big on thought and easy on the wallet. Oprah said, "Bringing real meaning back to the holidays is my favorite thing."
Oprah's Favorite Things Cost Next to Nothing
If there's one Oprah show that gets the audience more riled up than any other, it's the one where she reveals her favorite gifts for the holidays. The audience goes nuts when they discover which of her favorite things they'll be receiving and everyone is on a big holiday/Oprah high. In the spirit of this economically grim season, she's doing things differently this year.
Money Tip: Savings Idea to Try This Month
Oprah featured the "thriftiest family in America" on Wednesday's episode, so I stopped by her website to check out a recap. What I found was nothing really new, just an overall message to cut spending by tracking expenses and finding deals. However, I did find a money saving hint from a woman named Rhondalyn that could be an interesting experiment to save money and energy.
Oprah's Three Lessons That Impacted Her Life
How memorable would it be to have Oprah as a commencement speaker at your graduation ceremony? She spoke for about 30 minutes to Stanford's class of 2008 and shared these three lessons that have greatly impacted her life, having to do "with feelings, with failure and with finding happiness."
She may have given each graduate two books, but we can all take something away from the three lessons.
Oprah Asks: What Would You Dare to Live Without?
Yesterday's episode of Oprah featured two wasteful families that the mogul herself challenged to cut out their defining habits in seven days. It sort of reminded me of Honey We're Killing the Kids in the sense that some of their household regularities were so obviously problematic, and the families even admitted this much, yet they never made any changes on their own. Certainly, overcoming these issues is better late than never.

Forbes Ranks the 100 Most Powerful Women in the World
For the sixth year in a row, Forbes has rounded up its list of the world's most powerful women. It measures influence by scoring each female leader on visibility (not to be mistaken for popularity) and the size of the organization or country these women lead. The top spot remains unchanged from the previous three years, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel sits at number one of 100 for leading the fourth largest economy in the world.
The Most Admired Men and Women of 2008
We're starting to switch gears to 2009, but last year was a big one and 2008 is hardly a distant memory at this point. A Gallup poll asked Americans who they admired most in 2008 and the results are varied and interesting.
For the seventh year in a row, Hillary Clinton was ranked as the most admired woman, and Sarah Palin ousted second place incumbent Oprah Winfrey in the 2008 list.
