Color Your Life Happy: Create Your Unique Path and Claim the Joy You Deserve
Is it possible to create a happier life amidst real-life challenges and woes? Absolutely! Learning to say “yes” to yourself is the key. Steering clear of the expected shame and "shoulds" of self-help books, Brown cleverly weaves engaging personal vignettes and practical advice with powerful insights drawn from positive psychology, ancient wisdom, and the teachings of seekers of spiritual enlightenment.
Drawing from her baby boomer experiences growing up in a segregated USA inner city, she takes us through the path she created and punctuates her narrative with laugh-out-loud stories of raising her kids, some of her favorite poetry, and actionable tips on how to live an authentic life full of laughter, curiosity, and gratitude. Brown encourages us give up on perfection and recognize the gift of discontent. Finally, she suggests ways to connect the dots of all the advice she and others have shared, and reassures us that there is no single, one-size-fits-all path to create happiness, just our own path.~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Story Behind This Book
When I heard Wayne Dyer say "Don't die with your song still inside you," I decided to share my gift, this book, with the world right away. My original plan was to write an autobiography, but the Universe took me in a slightly different direction sharing what I've learned throughout my life about creating happiness by making wise choices. Just as I was starting to write my book I discovered that a new field of psychology, positive psychology, had begun. This field focuses on studying the strengths and virtues that enable people and communities to thrive. The researchers are uncovering amazing findings, some of which are the same things our grandmas told us.
