BrainBeHappy.com includes the following:
- Resources for Mentally Ill, those suffering from complications due to Brain Injury and their caregivers.
- My story of conquering mental illness and the coming back from a traumatic brain injury and my daughter, Savannah's story of her battle and triumph of a brain tumor that was supposed to take her life in 2003.
- The Happiness Corner. This is what makes BrainBeHappy.com different than other mental health/illness and brain injury websites different. The focus is on improving our mental status instead of dwelling on "what we've been handed". In my experience, focusing on the brighter side of life helps things get a little easier and lightens our burdens. Happiness and laughter have helped to bring me through those times when I didn’t think I would make it one more day. This area is all about happiness. You just have to check it out to experience what I'm talking about!
- The Happy Shop in the BrainBeHappy.com website offers products to assist, entertain and support mentally ill and brain injured patients and their caregivers. Eventually The Happy Shop will also proudly offer products created by mentally ill and brain injured patients.
- In the Community of Support section readers are encouraged to join and create a profile. Each member who creates a profile in the Community of Support has the opportunity to “friend” other participants and members can discuss issues and share day-to-day triumphs in a "Facebook" sort of environment. The forums allow members who are going through similar challenges to connect with one another and benefit from the support they can give and receive.
- Within the next 6 months BrainBeHappy.com will offer an e-learning section where e-books, e-courses and e-coaching and telecoaching services will be offered.
I am so excited about what this site has to offer anyone who has gone through what I have gone through! It is my dream to help many, many people find their way out of those dark, unhappy places where I used to be.
Just a little bit more about me. I am married to the love of my life, Steven, who has stuck by my side, through thick and thin and without his support, none of this would have been possible. Not only do I have my cute little Savannah, I also have another beautiful daughter, Mandy. who has give me to amazing grandkids, Lily and Bridger, who I spend as much time with as I possibly can! Mandy is married to Dan and he's a sweetheart!

I love life and believe that we all have the right to be happy and we all have the power inside of us to be happy - sometimes we just need a little bit of help. I want to be that bit of help to whoever needs a lift. I guess you could say it's my passion to bring happiness into the world, one day at a time.
Hugs,
