Happy Sunday, Journeyer! I hate to admit it, but it has been one strange and bizarre week, one that feels like the full moon energy has a death grip on me that won’t let go. Sometimes Life’s Puzzles are hard. It might have a little something to do with the return of not one, but TWO little chickadees to what … Read More
Happiness Lives Between Me and I
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! This past week has been a combination of everything. Excitement! Fear. Flu-like symptoms. Friendship. Learning. Love. Laughter. Reading. Sadness. Worry about loved ones who ran into some difficult times. Writing. Strange as it might sound, my week hasn’t felt like the roller-coaster ride you might think after reading this list above! It’s a good thing because some … Read More
Happiness Comes When We See with Fresh Eyes (and all our senses)
Happy Sunday-Monday, Journeyer!! This morning I woke up ruminating on all kinds of problems. Some people can’t fall asleep at night because they can’t seem to shut their minds off. I used to have the problem and then, out of a sense of desperation, I began doing what I later learned was a form of self-hypnosis. More than ten years … Read More
Energized by Envy
Happy Sunday-now-Monday, Journeyer! First up on the Happy Happens tribute list? First week of Back to School is behind me!! Woot! Woot! As always, the return to the early morning six o’clock alarm is a little daunting. Thankfully the first day back wasn’t a split shift, which meant I was able to entertain a much needed, midday nap! My mood … Read More
Living Life Wide Open
Happy Monday-Tuesday,Journeyer! As I type this week’s Happy Happens column, I am aboard Delta flight 3674 headed from Charlotte to Detroit, where I’ll board another plane for my final destination. Home. Typing that word I am reminded of a phrase I often use: “Home is where I am.” I don’t use the expression “Home is where my heart is” as … Read More
The Sound of Love
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! I hope this week’s Happy Happy column finds you well, but if you’re in a place where you can use a little pick-me-up, may something in these words accomplish that for you. My week has been full, to say the least. Full of work and growth and continuing to expand the website so we can help more … Read More
Meetings and Meet-Ups
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! I spent much of this past week in meetings; a mandatory gathering for my regular job and a few meetings with potential clients. Outside of those functions I was doing what a girl does when she’s feeding her joy. Good food. Good friendship. I finally connected with a friend, after trying all summer to meet-up. We visited … Read More
My Merry Go Round Week
Happy Tuesday, Journeyer! Well…all that keeps coming to mind with regard to this post is Up, Up, and Away (in my beautiful balloon.) I have no idea what the lyrics of that song represent, but I know how the music and melody have always made me feel: Like I wanted to fly. Not just fly, but to glide across the … Read More
At the Intersection of Something Old’s and Something New’s
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! This week I’ve been a bit quieter than normal on all of my social media outlets, but I can honestly say it was for a great cause. One of my younger cousins got hitched on Friday and Warren and I came out last week to vacation and help my aunt and uncle with the preparations. Though there … Read More
Life is Too Big for a Bag
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Today I come to you from atop a mountain that overlooks the beautiful Lake Michigan. Yep, we’re on the road again; this time a pleasure trip to visit family and attend a wedding. Yesterday my relatives took us to some local street fairs where we picked up numerous homegrown and handmade goods. You know the type of … Read More
