Who doesn’t want to know how to be RICH and HAPPY? But first things first, what kind of idiot would post a book review before having finished the book? THIS kind. Right here. You’re looking at her (sort of).

Please don’t assume Tim Brownson’s new book how to be RICH and HAPPY (written in collaboration with John P. Strelecky) is a slow read. It isn’t. But it’s not the sort of book you skim, either.

This masterpiece is more of a student workbook, where you read a few chapters, then grab a pencil, and do your very best to come up with the right answers (for you). At least that’s what I’m doing. I am now about 3/4 of the way through, and thrilled with the results so far.

Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence.

Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance.

Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence.

Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.

Fall has always been my favorite season. Maybe it’s the fiery colors of the trees, or the refreshing weather after a long hot summer. Maybe I just like it because Hunter and I both have October birthdays. Whatever it is… the autumnal equinox is my personal happy time.

This year, we’ll be moving to Vermont during Peak Fall Foliage Season. I can hardly wait to see Nature displaying her loveliest gowns of orange, red, and yellow across those wide open spaces dotted with barns, cattle and steeples (maybe even a moose or two). Knowing that we’re arriving in the Fall only adds to the excitement of this major life change for our family.

Sometimes life can’t get better, you’re on top of the world, smiling from ear to ear, everything falls into place and it feels like we are invincible. It’s an awesome feeling to be high on life like that, those moments and times of peak happiness!

Other times can be less pleasant, sometimes even agonizing, and nothing seems to go right. We want to burst out in tears, come up with irrational ideas and sometimes completely abandon all hope and faith.
