Happy is essential! When we struggle the most, when life is the toughest, it's imperative that we give ourselves permission to be happy (which is what my frog did for me last week) because being Happy is what gives us the stamina to face that ugly trial.

It's been celebrated by multitudes for just shy of 160 years, so we figured it was time to join in because it's a great thing to celebrate, especially since we are the official podcast of the Holid...

How dangerous is the trap of comparison and judgment, and how do we avoid it? Join Old School Nerds Joe MoJOE McC...
