DailyLit - A Great Way to Start Your Day

I've discovered yet another reason to love the Internet: reading free and inexpensive books by email.

DailyLit has a selection of over 1000 titles to chose from, including everything from classic works of literature to non-fiction on a variety of subjects. Each entry in the catalog indicates its price (many are free) and tells you how many email installments to expect. Sign up for something that sounds good and beginning reading in minutes.

Site registration (also free) gives you access to forums for discussing the things you're reading and a place to manage your subscriptions. You can set the time, frequency and length of the installments you want to receive. And if what you're reading is too good to wait until the next scheduled installment, you can click on the link at the bottom of your most recent email to have the next installment sent to your Inbox immediately.

Check out the My DailyLit widget in the right sidebar column to see what I'm reading now.

I got an email just before Noon today saying that my candle business starter kit has been shipped! With any luck it will get here before Saturday so I'll have catalogs to share at my nephew's birthday party.

I'm SO excited about this!

My Exciting New Venture

I've dabbled in network marketing / direct sales before and have worked with some wonderful companies with terrific product lines, but I have never enjoyed the level of success I desire and know I can achieve. Part of the problem may have been timing. The Internet has changed a lot since I first tried marketing a business online. I think maybe now it may be possible to build the kind of business I always imagined.

Even more important than getting the timing right is choosing a product you really love and can enthusiastically demonstrate to others. I have always adored scented candles. They soothe and relax us, they make a home smell inviting and they make exquisite gifts. Candles and related products are a perfect match for me.

I researched several companies and have slected one that I feel is right for me. I registered as a consultant earler this evening. This weekend I will get my website and will post a link here when it is ready to roll. I can't wait to get going on this!

If anyone out there is also into candles, I'd love to hear from you. Maybe someday we can even work together . . .

Update:
My website is online! Check it out.

Last month I discovered Hulu, an entertainment website featuring full length movies and complete television show episodes for FREE. My favorite place to watch movies and television shows online just keeps getting better and better: On June 16th, Hulu started their Hulu Days of Summer promotion. Each weekday from now through mid-August, Hulu will unveil new content for our viewing pleasure. Check the widget to the left for the continually updated schedule!

It's All Too Much: Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff by Peter Walsh

My review

rating: 2 of 5 stars



The suggestions in this book for getting rid of useless clutter (junk mail, old receipts, clothes that don't fit, etc.) are practical, but nothing that hasn't been said before by the hundreds of other organizing gurus out there. I was a little put off by Walsh's tone and the fact that he has little sympathy for bibliophiles - I could never abide by a "buy a book, get rid of one" philosophy, nor would I want to - but I am willing to put the author's snarkiness aside and try to de-clutter things that are not part of my vast book collection.

I guess what I really need is a book that offers unique ways of organizing what you have and want to keep!
