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.

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.

My main reason for doing reading testing, enduring a bus ride to a field trip about weapons engineering, and other thrills? Stalking.

I’m not a fan of repeating things over and over so that they lose their meaning. "Pledge: a solemn promise or agreement." It is that extra level, the solemnity, that makes me uncomfortable with casual usage.

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

Don’t listen to horror stories about airplane tantrums. Listen to me while I let you in on the secret perks of seeing the world with kiddos.

A haircut is a whole lot cheaper than therapy or tattoos or a round-the-world plane ticket.

For you, dear readers, who are thrilled with the teacher in your life — be it your own teacher, the instructor of your child, or even the person who does piano or karate — this list is for you.

Your partner will make you want to throw up at some point. Pure, unadulterated disgust.

I’m a sucker for an interesting woman, so Notorious RBG is obviously my sort of book.
