Let’s Share Some Joy!


Researchers keep confirming that thankfulness is the secret to finding joy. Not only that, thankfulness keeps you healthier. I’m all for that, aren’t you? Harvard Health Publishing suggests a few ways you can be mindful of expressing gratitude for what you have.

  • Set a monthly schedule to send (or deliver) a thank you note to someone who has had a positive impact on your life.
  • Regularly think about different people who have been nice to you and mentally thank them.
  • Each week write in a journal about the things that went right for you that week, and re-experience the positive emotions from those events.
  • Pray or meditate about something you’re appreciating at the moment, such as the warmth of the sun or a pleasant sound.

Thankful for you!

That’s a nice list. And, well, I’ll practice the first one right now. As someone on my email list, you’ve honored me by walking along with me on my author journey. I appreciate your encouragement and feedback.

Thank you! You who keep me motivated and inspired.

Thankful for SURPRISES!

What a pleasant surprise to find my debut novel featured at the local library.
