I could attribute this morning’s joyful outburst to a number of things, but why? There’s no need to add in the factors, figure out the parameters, determine the coordinates so that it might happen again. It just happened, and it was wonderful!

There I was, driving my car and suddenly FULL of laughter, BURSTING with gratitude, SINGING at the top of my lungs… and just letting it all rip! Holy WOW!

What I do know is that I spent a whole lotta years censoring my emotions, and that it’s positively thrilling to be done with all that.

How about you? Do you cry at commercials? Sing out loud in public? Dance when your body tells you? Tell me how you express what wells up from within you! (With thanks to Oprah for the phrase ‘Joy Rising’ which I just love).

I recently heard the author of the book (Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Diet – in case you don’t regularly read my posts where I seem to refer to her often) ... Read More

 I had dinner with a friend last week who I hadn’t seen in months (aside from Facebook). She said ‘Your career looks like it’s going great, I’m so happy for you!’ I said ‘Yeah, it really is, thanks!’ and then she told me, ‘You know, it’s almost annoying, you look so happy.’ with a sheepish grin. She’s right. I’m pretty happy and I love the work I do. This didn’t happen overnight, I’ve been cultivating my happiness and success for a few years now. And I think it’s available to anyone, no matter what their career situation is. Here’s ... Read More
