I love happiness…I mean…who doesn’t…not liking happiness would make you…well…unhappy…and who wants to be unhappy…
That’s why I’m so happy…there’s that word again…to be a part of a happiness revolution of sorts…celebrating the launch of my friend…and bestselling publisher…Linda Joy’s latest book…Inspiration for a Woman’s Soul: Choosing Happiness…it shares intimate transformation stories of 27 amazing women…

Now…Bertha…said all this talking about happiness…specifically…choosing happiness…makes her think of a time in my life…when I didn’t really understand just exactly how that worked…
See…I was going through a divorce…and…I was pretty much a basket case…not even a smidgen of happiness to be found…
Oh…I wanted to be happy…I wanted to quit crying…BUT…I wanted it to be on my terms…I wanted to be happy reunited with my husband…with our kids…living in our house…well…you get the idea…
Enter…Bertha…even though I didn’t recognize her at the time…some little voice in my head told me…that I couldn’t put conditions on being happy…because I can’t control conditions…
That same little voice…also explained that I couldn’t go from…devastated… to…happy…in one fell swoop…no…it was more like…make a decision that I wanted to be happy…regardless of my marital status…then choose one small thing to be happy about…even if it was what I was having for dinner…then choose another…and…another…and just keep going until…one day…without really thinking about it…I would be happy again…and…I was…and I am…
Now…when I am unhappy about something…Bertha…bellows…no small voice for her…reminding me…to find one tiny…unrelated…thing to be happy about…and…well you know the rest…
Jane…
