I typically put a similar statement like this one at the end of most of my blog posts. However, today I’ve included it at the beginning because this post is an overview of Section 2 about Happiness. This is the second of three sections to be included in my manuscript titled On The Other Side of Trying Hard: Healing, Happiness, and Holiness.
My blog post titles below include the chapter title (example: What Is It About That Word?). The phrase in parentheses is a subheading from that chapter (example: should I even write about happiness?).
I’ve listed all of my blog post titles (chapter titles and subheadings) from the happiness section and included a couple of sentences to recap each chapter.
I’ll be back tomorrow or Monday to begin Section 3 about Holiness. Thanks for reading along and commenting.
In This Together,
Kim
