Phew! Is it ever hot and muggy on this Tennessee morning! Though I knew it was wishful thinking, I hoped that those dark clouds blowing in last night would have brought with them a little cooler air. Um, no. This morning’s air is stifling, muggy like a swamp. As I walked across the parking lot, wiling my mind to think … Read More
Connections
I opened my eyes for the last time at 9:22 this morning. I’d woken a few times, alert only enough to realize that Warren had crawled back into bed to cuddle, and when I heard Big Guy’s footsteps on the stairs. “Good morning. Have fun at practice,” I said before falling fast asleep again. But when I heard Warren’s truck … 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
A Few Bittersweet and Salty Days
Well, Journeyers, today I’m writing from a lobby in the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. This place is exquisite, from this enormous cut floral arrangement… to the balcony views… to the marble bathrooms… Yep, we’re on the road, again. This time we hit the skyways to support Fave in his national … Read More
But Fish Don’t Eat Ice Cream!
It’s Sunday morning, Journeyer, and I sit staring at the photos from this week’s happy moments. I’ve been scratching my head for the past ten minutes, trying to find some sort of thread that will bring it all together. At that statement I chuckle, for my week’s moments have been about as random as they get! I looked through my … Read More
Oh, #100HappyDays
Oh, Happy Days. #100HappyDays! JOURNEYERS! Did you see the Today show this morning? I must admit I did not. It is a rare occasion I watch television or film, but I can happily report that I obtain the vast majority of my worldly news via The Huffington Post or through you, my friends, through your blogs and your social … Read More
Leading the Way
I took this photo of the staircase in Independence Hall, Philadelphia Phew, Journeyer, has it ever been a whirlwind week! Traveling has a way of putting sails beneath our time, and I’ve been hitting the highways and skyways for sure. After returning from Hay House’s writing workshop in Denver, I spent Tuesday finishing last week’s Happy Happens piece, getting it … Read More
Field of Dreams
Journeyer, do you know that feeling you get when you are able to something that brings another person joy? The warmth that envelops you and the smile that practically makes your jaws ache? On Thursday, Warren and I were a part of something so simple, and yet, something so profound for another young couple. You know that rehabbed house … Read More
United
It’s an early summer Sunday, Guys! And you know that always means at least one of two things: 1) I’m working on the weekly edition of this Happy Happens series. 2) We’re probably on the road, again, destined for some athletic event. For the second time in two days, I’m on my way to Syracuse. Yesterday had me buzzing down … Read More
Honoring Fathers, Flowers, Friendship, and Fun
This past week has been a rollercoaster ride of frustration and overtime and, given the pimples popping out on my face, an overdose of hormones. When I haven’t been racing from work to appointments to home, I’ve pretty much felt like dropping from exhaustion. Knowing that these happy moments would escape me when I sat down to write days later, … Read More
