The most important things my mother taught me included work from Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Wham! and Whitney Houston.

I wanted to write a book last summer. Then I realized what a terrible goal that was and modified accordingly.

I cried every single day of my life until I was 18 years old. I did not know this was abnormal.

1. Write a damn letter.

I always have a small piece of my brain on mom mode, no matter what else is happening. I have no problem with this, since that is how humanity has survived.

I’m not alone in being troubled by how people suddenly disappear in life, right? That’s essentially why the internet was created. You may have heard rumors about Al Gore inventing it for military purposes... Lies!

It is hard to find any real numbers about how many people do "direct sales" or how much money they make. The web is full of either big promises or pissed-off former sellers. What I do know, from bazillions of friends and family, is that making much more than pocket money means selling like a real job. Yes, it might be more flexible, but there’s no magic formula.

I look tired when I stay up too late. I also look tired if I get eight hours of sleep.

My Life on the Road (or MLR) is not what I expected...the idea of not waiting for experience to come to you permeates the book.

I am going to have amazing posture. My neck will look so skinny just from the way I hold my head.
