Exploring Mental Health Through Humor in Furiously Happy
You can absolutely judge this book by its cover. If you come across a book with a smiling taxidermied raccoon on the cover, smile and think “what the hell is this about?” then this book is for you! Jenny’s sophomore book had me laughing out loud more than once. Her honest and hilarious take on living with mental “illness” was difficult to put down. Her thought spirals are mostly comedic gold, with occasional pieces sparking an urge to hug the writer. Good thing I’ve read the book and know that’s not really her thing.
I wish Jenny many, many more adventures (real world or mental) as well as many, many more book deals.

R.I.P. Dolly Pardon
R.I.P. Dolly Pardon ~ My heart squeezes each time I hear about someone honoring Dolly Parton. IF there is a way for Dolly to see it all she’d be truly honored. I did not know the woman personally. But watching her as I’ve moved through life there has always been this honest ring to all…
Is it the Feet?
So I’ve been investing more time in Instagram lately. And I’ve gotten a fairly large number of views of one of my videos. And I can’t help but wonder, is it the feet? Or is it the comment at the beginning? Are they expecting drama? What’s the hook? I made it because it was cute…
