I facilitate something called the Happiness Club. We meet monthly in a local community room. It’s not a “club,” it’s a place to come learn tips and techniques how to live happier fuller lives, how to manage the stress of the day and how to build up resiliency to life’s challenges. It delights me the [...]

Being a mom is a unique thing. The mommy years shaped me and made me a better person. Does that mean I’m better than someone who doesn’t have kids? No way. It means having kids has been beneficial for my personal growth, and I appreciate it. I know many women who are childless, by choice [...]

We all want that from others. Certainly women want that from their partners. We expect our kids to listen to us. Do we give the same in return? We all want to be heard. I typed heart instead of heard. Typo or subliminal message? When we really listen, we are engaged with our heads and [...]

I was interviewed in March by Deb Hanneman of Zen Mommies Radio Show and I recently received an energy healing session from her. We have never met in the flesh, and yet I really like her presence. I sense you get my drift. Deb explained that she would go in and take a look at [...]

We named our company Joy Beyond Your Dreams intentionally. Not only can you be happy, life can be even better than you allow yourself to imagine. Yet, for most of us, we never let ourselves go there. We stay stuck in the same old-same old and do not let ourselves think it can be any [...]

I was born a worrier, a fretter, a what iffer. I broke out in hives the night before I started first grade: What if I can’t learn to read?! I learned how to read. And write. And do all kinds of things. The best thing I’ve learned took a long time though. I’ve finally learned [...]

The most important thing I’ve learned in life is that my choices are mine, and I cannot control anyone else’s choices. I’m challenged by that occasionally, as I want everyone to see that they don’t have to stay stuck in their rut. I’m a happiness coach and yet I am not in charge of anyone’s [...]

A college friend recently asked me to send a little joy his way. He’d been in a horrible accident. Sitting stopped at a red light on his motorcycle, he was mowed down by a drunk driver going 60. Once you get past the miracle of making it through such an accident, you have to deal [...]

Written by Kelly Epperson As I step into a more vibrant life, I like more colorful surroundings. Not BAM in your face gotta-get-your-attention color, just expressions of some lively fun. I never thought I’d have red furniture. I love it. I eat my breakfast every day on the red loveseat in the sunroom. I look [...]

Well, yeah, sorta. I teach happiness and how to get yourself there. You can go from feeling yucky to feeling yummy. No drugs required. Anybody can get happier. The first step is to decide you want to. That sounds silly perhaps. Wouldn’t we all want to feel happier? You would think that, but many people [...]
