\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Can you believe that Good Housekeeping<\/a> has been around for 125 years? When I read that the magazine was celebrating 125 years in publishing I was surprised. Since 1885 many women have been consulting Good Housekeeping\u00a0for tips on\u00a0everything\u00a0from fashion to\u00a0time-saving recipes.\u00a0My only memories of the magazine was a quick glance\u00a0I would give it every once in a while\u00a0as a child when my Grandmother had a subscription.<\/p>\n

In this age of digital media the magazine is beckoning a new generation of readers with its website and featuring the\u00a0ultimate game changer,\u00a0First Lady Michelle Obama, on the May cover of their 125th anniversary issue. In an interview with the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Rosemary Ellis,\u00a0Mrs Obama chats about raising the weeMichelles with the help of the First Grandmother, her private time with the President,\u00a0keeping in touch with girlfriends, Mother’s Day, and one of her favorite foods.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite parts of the interview is her response when asked about how she deals with\u00a0the constant scrutiny of her marriage.<\/p>\n

\n

RE:<\/strong> …Let me ask you about another aspect of your life: It can’t be easy to have your marriage under such scrutiny. How do you separate yourself from the really nasty criticism?<\/em><\/p>\n

MO:<\/strong> I just don’t take it in. It’s like anything \u2014 you know, I take in the healthy stuff in my life, and there’s a lot of it. There’s an abundance of it. And then you chalk everything [else] up to, Not everybody’s gonna love ya. You know? We learned that when we were kids. That was one of the messages my mom said: “You’re not on this earth to make everybody love you. You do what you think is right, you treat other people well, and then you keep living your life.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How nice it would be if\u00a0 everyone lived under that same tenet. Maybe then we could stop getting emails about how many aides the First Lady has and maybe just maybe people would stop asking how much\u00a0her trip to Haiti cost.<\/p>\n

The First Lady is number 6 on the magazine’s\u00a0list of “125 Women That Changed History”. Mrs Obama is joined by 1. Oprah Winfrey, 2. Hillary Rodham Clinton, 3. Mother Teresa, 4. Rosa Parks, 5. Eleanor Roosevelt, 7. Amelia Earhart, 8. Princess Diana, 9. Marie Curie,and 10. Margaret Thatcher to name a few. The women were chosen by a reader’s poll. That kind of explains the\u00a0bizarre order\u00a0of the\u00a0list. To view the complete list of 125 visit Good Housekeeping. com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The May issue is available now on newsstands.<\/p>\n
