After a family tragedy, I spent years just barely surviving. Happiness was not even a target.

Remarkedly, I am happy again. Now I want everyone to be happy too.

Admittedly, there is no 1-2-3 to avoiding the pain and loss reality throws at us, but I have found a few happiness hacks that work for me.

Book Review

Happy After All was exactly what I needed at this moment in my life. To hear the stories of fighting to understand your faith again— a season I have just fought my way through— was so beautiful in helping me put words to what I had experienced, but also in helping me know that I’m not alone through the process. This book helped me see that fighting through darkness to find God again is possible, and that happiness is absolutely worth it.
