Welcome! On this first post, I just want to share why I do what I do so you can get a feel for me and my mission.

My mission is to help people reduce stress and create more joy in their lives.

In hindsight, I see  that I was working on this mission very early in my life. When my baby sister was born, my mom was married with six children and she was very stressed. As I grew up, I instinctively did everything I could to help reduce her stress in the hopes that she would experience more joy, because when I felt that she was happy, I felt relaxed and happy, too.

As a child, I was pretty quiet and very cooperative. I did all of my homework and chores without being told, and I helped with extra chores without being asked. I tried not to cause any problems with my siblings, tried being the operative word here. I was not always successful at that, but I did try.

My mom definitely appreciated my efforts, but she still wasn’t as happy as I wanted her to be until she discovered how to live happily for herself. Unfortunately for my kid self, that happened after I left home. As an adult, I realize that happiness is an inside job. I can’t make people happy, but I can support people in relieving stress and creating joy by sharing what I’ve learned about stress relief and joy.

So now I provide people with information, books, and links to products that I have found to be effective in relieving stress and creating joy in my life and the lives of my friends. It’s a wonderful mission and one that I not only embrace, but thoroughly enjoy.

This entire website, all of my books, and everything I do is devoted to your happiness.

To your own personal “happily ever after”,
