We've had enough bad news. It's time for some positive thinking. It's time to look at this beautiful world and see past the evil and the disasters. It's time to dismiss the vampires and goblins and pick-pockets. It's time for a satire column that laughs with the world not at it. (OK, so we laugh at it to, but we smile while we do.)
Welcome to a brand new genre: "friendly satire". The military have friendly fire, so why can't we have friendly satire, where we pick at everything silly (and much that is not!) in a friendly way. This is the only humor column delivering a heaping helping of humor with a dash of personal growth wrapped up in one handy package.
Here is the Happy Guy who blesses our lives today
And in this our little verse to him, we just want to say
In a world of news so black and miles of frowns
He helps you create the ups from the downs.

You may read this weekly humor column coming soon to a newspaper near you (If not, please recommend it.) You can also see it in your e-mail in-box every Wednesday ... and, of course, the subscription is free.
Most personal growth columns tend to get preachy. We don't. Instead, we poke gentle fun at the world and slip in a helpful personal growth lesson. We want to entertain you and inspire you at the same time.
This column is about joy, happiness, zest for life, positive thinking, self-actualization, being upbeat, everything the daily news is not. If you wish to read a sample or two before subscribing, here are a few:
