Question: How does a girl who falls--No, actually, she jumps...
:01:16
...eyes open, down a rabbit hole,plummeting into chaos...
:01:20
...come out the other endunchanged?
:01:23
The answer?
:01:25
She doesn't.
:01:28
See, I know,because that girl is me.
:01:45
But to truly understandthe predicament I was in...
:01:48
...i.e., stuck in the middle of chaos...
:01:52
...you'd have to go backto that first day at my new job.
:01:55
Actually, to be fair,you should go back a little further...
:01:58
...starting with Mom.Don't worry. I'm not blaming her...
:02:02
...entirely.
:02:04
She believed that all problems couldbe solved by listening to Carly Simon.

:02:20
Something about her voice,or her lyrics, or her music...
:02:24
...helped Mom clear the chaos...
:02:26
...especially after a fight with Dad.
:02:30
Or when he left us for good.
:02:35
People said Mom was better off.
:02:37
They said she was lucky.But she believed....
:02:42
Luck is when preparationmeets opportunity.
:02:45
You gotta preparefor the life you want.
:02:48
And though I knew I wanteda career in broadcast journalism...
:02:51
...it took a little Carlyand a lot of time...
:02:54
...to find the personI most wanted to work with.
