19 years ago today, 'Tuesdays with Morrie' was published. It was written to help Morrie pay his medical bills as he died from ALS. It was a book I thought I'd be selling out of the trunk of my car. It has become one of the most important books I've ever written. It's been my honor and privilege to share Morrie with the world for the last two decades. And Morrie would be tickled to know that the teaching goes on...

"Do the kind of things that come from the heart, When you do, you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overhelmed with what comes back." #TuesdayswithMorrie

DEAL ALERT!: 'The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto" is $1.99 on Amazon Kindle (today only!). Get it here: http://amzn.to/298GsE2. Happy 4th!

"I saw a boy all but bending his strings in a girl's direction. It was the first time Frankie Presto attempted to give his music to someone else. Which is how I knew he was in love." - The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto

“This is life. Things get taken away. You will learn to start over many times -- or you will be useless.” -El Maestro to #FrankiePresto

In every artist’s life, there comes a person who lifts the curtain on creativity...and you are never the same. #TheMagicStringsofFrankiePresto

"Remember this, Francisco,” he said. “The secret is not to make your music louder, but to make the world quieter.” #whois #frankiepresto

Met with my lovely editor this week about my next book. It's a novel about a musician and a magical instrument. Now here's a question for all of you: which instrument?

Am visiting in the Philippines. I'm asking authors to help me restock typhoon-hit school libraries in Tacloban with their books. Amy Tan, Stephen King, Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, and the rest of the Rock Bottom Remainders are in. If you have a favorite author of kids/teen books who might want to know, please spread the word. They can msg me on Twitter @mitchalbom for info

"Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive"--The Five People You Meet in Heaven

The biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become.

“...if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.”

"It's a quiet theft, how time lures people away. They are there and then they are not." -The First Phone Call from Heaven

“And in that line now was a whiskered old man, with a linen cap and a crooked nose, who waited in a place called the Stardust Band Shell to share his part of the secret of heaven: that each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one."
