Journeyer, as many of you might have noticed, I missed my first Happy Happens post ever. Though some have been late, I haven’t actually not posted to this weekly column in years… As my long days progressed and the calendar pages flipped by and a few problems at work seemed to balloon, I did what so many of us do … Read More
Finding Joy in the Junk
Well, Journeyers, I think my brain is fried… We returned from Salt Lake City mid Tuesday afternoon to a home with a bad main breaker coming into the house. Some of you might have noticed in the one photo that Warren was on his cell phone as he sat suspended in the Great Salt Lake. It is a rare occasion … Read More
Living the Dream
My children have always lamented the fact that I cannot go anywhere without running into someone I know. Big Guy has proclaimed more than once, “My mother will talk to any random stranger.” Which means that everywhere I go I am always taking pause to converse with another human being. Which means my children have often found themselves staring blankly … Read More
My Three Sons
This past week is a bit of a blur, Journeyer, and I can’t believe it’s Sunday! Then, again, I’m so freaking HAPPY that it’s Sunday!! Why? Because I’ve been counting down the last fourteen days until I could spend an entire week with my two boys. Big Guy’s task had been to find one college he wanted to visit over … Read More

Hallelujah! – Feedburner Fixed, I’m Not Sad Anymore, & Exciting News!!
On May 16, 2013, I not only wrote about my epic sadness, I posted those snotty-nosed feelings on this blog. Well, Journeyer, let me just tell you what happened. I’d love to say that thousands of people reached out to comfort me, that Oprah called to ask me on the show, or Ellen e-mailed to invite me to dance with … Read More
All Shook Up
Proverbial Shit has been knocking on my door this week, Journeyer. Nagging nuisances that just sort of make us feel icky and ornery and rundown. Three words to kick it off: Snow. SNOW! (EVER-LOVIN’-F-IN’) SNOW!! This is on the hood of Warren’s truck! And leaving for work in more subzero temperatures that dipped to MINUS TWENTY! What’s all this … Read More
Super Moments
The Superbowl. “Which team are you rooting for, the one with the white helmets?” That would be me, inciting chuckles from the avid football fans at this year’s SB party. This year we broke from tradition of hosting the gathering at our house, and though that is my favorite part of the season’s event—entertaining and having opportunity to break out all … Read More
The Wait is OVER: Digging for the Light is HERE!
Today’s THE DAY, Journeyers!! I’m excited and honored and nervous and happy as all get-out… If you pre-ordered the Nook version, it’s waiting for you now!

The paperback link hasn’t quite made its way to Amazon’s search database, but should be there within … Read More
