Welcome, Fellow Seekers of Happiness!

Debbie Walker, here, writing my first newsletter of happiness! As most of you know, I am the creator of Middle-Pause, a publication for the woman in the middle.

Meanwhile, I come to a place in my life where I want to create a publication about happiness for everybody. (Not to take away from my vision of Middle-Pause, of course.)

I want to share happy moments, short stories, short-form posts, and poems about all things happy.

Already, I’ve added writers and will do so in the future. Whatcha, think? Those of you who don’t know, I am from the South and will be using my Southern colloquialisms, at times.

Y'all, hear?

I’m sharing three types of posts to today plus our submission guidelines— Happy Hacks, Shout-Outs, and Short-form. I have more posts than I have room for in this newsletter. Take a peek, it’s pretty good stuff!

Happy Hacks:
1. Happiness Hacks and How to Apply Them To Your Life — Debbie Walker
2. Happy Hack #2: The Smile Experiment — Debbie Walker

Shout-Outs:
3. Jocelyn Soriano: The Girl Who Wants to Take Her Mask Off — Debbie Walker
4. Who Is Marilyn Flower and Why Is She So Marvelous? — Debbie Walker
5. Katie Michaelson: Caretaker and Caregiver of Plants and People — Debbie Walker
( I do these once a week to showcase other writers, or I’m gonna try to!)

Short-Form:
5. One thing that makes me happy about writing on Medium is how ideas spread. — Katie Michaelson

Oh my, the grandkids and I are happy to give this pub a try. I write about them sometimes. I have 13 in all and 1 great-grand. They give me plenty of material, and they make me happy!

Uh-oh. I need to stop writing. I’m just sooo excited to reach out to you! If you wanna stop and take a breather, drop me a line at forwardmotion227@gmail.com. Thanks.

May The Happiness be with you.

Until next week!

Peace & Blessings!

Debbie Walker

p.s. I almost forgot the Submission Guidelines.
