It’s one thing to say “I’ve answered most of 12,500 questions about life, all by hand.” It’s another thing to show it. Thanks to some MIT students, I was able to show it recently, displaying 8,000 cards in an MIT lobby, just long enough to take photos. Take a look! It’s a good time to […]

I’m excited to hear in the news that Egypt and other states may become true democracies. But I’m not surprised. It’s part of a long trend, and shame on the people who think we’ll “never” see democracy in China, that instead there will be some kind of totalitarian takeover or dominance. Here’s a card on […]

I handwrite every answer I give, so having been asked “What is the Meaning of Life” a hundred times, I’ve given a hundred answers. It’s a big question that lends itself to a variety of responses. Here’s a good one. What is the meaning of life   Every person you meet is an opportunity to […]

Every time you catch yourself thinking, “Am I normal?”… that’s normal. 🙂 If I have never had a boyfriend what am I doing wrong? (I am a girl.)   You’re not asking any boys out. Work on gaining confidence by sorting out all your “issues” actively, instead of waiting & hoping. It’s the most attractive […]

Being an author of a memoir gives me a different viewpoint on life. When something good happens, I wonder if I can write about it. When something bad happens, I’m sad of course, but I also think: Damn! This would make a good chapter! I’ve even caught myself feeling a bit jealous of the noteworthy […]

Anyone who’s able to question whether he or she is a good person… is a good person. Here’s a card on that. 🙂 I so badly want to be someone else. Anyone else. Why?   Everyone has a hero. Maybe it’s time for a reset. Plan a party with friends to announce the new you. […]

Here’s a card about letting your inner child out for a while. Or all the time. 🙂 Is life really over after college??   Many people choose to end fun hobbies, late nights with friends, learning, & living in a close community. But you don’t have to give up your creative, playful approach to life […]

I’m feeling happy today, having just finished a great new revision of the Wheel Questions book proposal. Over the last 12 months I’ve improved it seven levels up that I can think of. Most of the time I’m a blabbermouth, eager to fill the whole card with ideas, and wanting to avoid sounding slogan-y. Here’s […]

Happy New Year, everyone. Do what you can to nudge people into being nice, but don’t get drawn into trying to help someone who can’t be helped. -Johnny Why are some people mean & others so nice? Why can’t all people Be nice & kind?   People who are mean are usually lashing out because […]

I’m revising the Wheel Questions book proposal! This time, I’ve made a full, detailed outline of all the chapters. You can see my post-it notes all over a wall on the Wheel Questions Backstage Blog. Also, I’m looking for a few good people to read over the proposal. I don’t need time consuming, low-level comments […]
