WITHOUT ALL THE WOO-WOO BS.
“I’m not good enough.” “Good things happen to other people, not me.” “What’s the point in trying. Nothing ever goes right.”
Any of those sound familiar? If you said yes you may be stuck in a brutal cycle of negative thinking…just like I used to be.
I know…you’ve read all the books about positive thinking & here you are – frustrated & feeling stupid because you just can’t get it “right” when everyone else seems to nail it. I know because I’ve been there too. But all is not lost.
You can be happier. You can create more joy in your life. Honest to God. All it takes are some super-simple tweaks to you day for you to see the world in a new light & start feeling more positive. X my heart.
When you start to forgive, when you focus on love, when you seek out joy & gratitude then you will begin to find those very things everywhere you look.
It becomes easy to be happier, even when your life is a big, sloppy, chaotic, crap-tacular mess.
Do you:
- feel bogged down by negative thoughts?
- wait for something bad to happen when something seems to good to be true?
- feel frustrated by those “feel great now!” books that make you feel dumb & broken because, unlike everyone else that’s read it, you aren’t a positive, perky person 5 minutes after reading it?
- want to tell that negative voice in your head to shut the hell up?
52 Doses:
- can help you learn to shift your focus so those negative thoughts have less power.
- can help you notice the love, joy & gratitude that’s all around you so when life sucks (& it does suck in a really big way sometimes) you can still find some happiness…which makes all that suckiness suck a little less.
- will help you realize you aren’t broken…those other books just weren’t a good fit. We’re all different, after all.
- That voice? Wait…what voice? Yeah. It’s barely a whisper. Sure it might pipe up from time to time but you know how to kill it with kindness & beat it down with love.

I WAS ONCE A SLAVE TO MY MOOD.
My mood was something apart from me – separate & beyond my control. Be it good or bad, my mood was my mood & I was married to it for however long it lasted.
I read all the books & heard all the testimonies of people who shouted such clever (and let’s be honest here…obnoxious) tidbits as “turn your frown upside down,” “when you change the way you look at the world, the world you look at changes” & “only you can make you happy.” And I always thought…
“Well that’s a load of shit. If I knew how to do those things I wouldn’t need to read your freakin’ book. I’m in a bad mood because X,Y and Z happened. I have every right to be pissed off and miserable about it for as long as I damn well please.”
And you know what? I was right.
I had every right to be pissed off & miserable…but I didn’t have to be. Happiness really is a choice. Awful things happen to all of us. Some days you’re the bird & some days you’re the worm. That’s part of living.
Some things are beyond our control, but how we react isn’t.
We are 100% responsible for our actions and REactions. With this epiphany came an idea. I began a daily newsletter called “Your Daily Dose” to help myself & others explore this new path & to help start each day with a heaping helping of joy & love. Your Daily Dose chugged along for a little while but it reached a point where I could no longer give it the love & attention it deserved. Your Daily Dose fell by the wayside.
*FAST FORWARD TO 12 MONTHS LATER*
This past year I underwent a MASSIVE amount of painful change and upheaval in my personal life.
By massive upheaval I mean excruciatingly painful, agonizing, rip-your-world-apart, never-be-the-same-again, catastrophic change. It was not a good time.
As I sifted through the remains of my barely recognizable life I thought back to “Your Daily Dose.” The light bulb went off. I needed to write. And write I did. I wrote about the things that made me smile, the things that really mattered & how I could build on them. I focused on the good in life.
Over the course of those 365 I went to hell & back. Writing 52 Doses was a major source of healing & happiness throughout my journey & I want to share it with you.
I want you to be able to pop emotional wheelies and make mental donuts in life’s parking lot.
I want 52 Doses to help you the way it helped me – I want you to be happier.

That’s fine too. It’s entirely up to you.
“I’ve tried other books & they didn’t do jack…which pissed me off. What makes 52 Doses any different?”
- Time & Action. 52 Doses is broken up into weekly pieces. A chapter a week. It’s designed to give you time to read the chapter, do the worksheets & give yourself time to process what you’ve read. It gives you one bite-sized portion at a time so you can take time to savor each joy-filled bite. It also give you steps to take…steps you can use in your real life…steps that are realistic & fun.
