Happy Friday! Wow, what a week! I was incredibly inspired by a few different things this week, but one item in particular was this podcast by Branden Harvey featuring an interview with Jeremy Cowart.

The Rock Your Happy Newsletter #12 – Why Oh Why?
Happy Friday, Friends! A few weeks ago when I was in Portland, I had the opportunity to be the closing keynote at the Indulge conference.

The Rock Your Happy Newsletter #11 – Baby Oil And Tin Foil
Hi friends! When I was in middle school, my mom once grounded me because she caught me listening to Prince’s Purple Rain. I loved Prince…let’s face it, as my friend Kelly has said, he was the soundtrack to my generations teenage years. He pushed the envelope like no other but wow, he was one heck…
The Rock Your Happy Newsletter #10 – You Make Me Purr
TGIF, friends! I’ve been thinking about my cat a lot lately. We got Slim Shady this past August, completely on a whim. I had previously had a cat for 15 years that my husband and I had to put to sleep 13 years ago. I had really missed having a cat, but I wasn’t ready…

The Rock Your Happy Newsletter #6 – Music To My Ears
Happy Friday, friends! I’ve been really struggling with getting going in the mornings lately, that was until the kids and I decided to implement morning dance parties. It’s crazy how much an upbeat song and a little moving in the morning gets you in the right frame of mind to tackle your day! Music can…
The Rock Your Happy Newsletter #5 – The Universe Granted My Wish
Hi, friends! Happy Friday! Do you have time for a little/long story? This past weekend, after my comfy pants were feeling so uncomfortable and after seeing a very unflattering yet truth telling picture of myself, I stepped on the scale for the first time in a very long time. The number that flashed back at…
The Rock Your Happy Newsletter #4 – Bye Bye Busy Bragging
Happy Friday, Friends! How was your week? This week went by so fast for some reason. My kids were off school starting on Thursday and don’t go back until Tuesday. Those of you who know me know that I love having my kids home…I love having the opportunity to slow down some, and to recoup…
