How Y'all Doing? Misadventures and Mischief from a Life Well Lived

by Leslie Jordan

“Happiness is a choice. Happiness is a habit. And happiness is something you have to work hard at. It does not just happen.”

I read somewhere once that our parents “did the best they could with the light they had to see with.”

I think that fear keeps so many of us from being successful at things outside our realm of experience. We love to stay in our comfort zone, but the growth only comes when we wander outside of that zone.

no shame in saying “I do not have this in me.”

true happiness can only come from being “of loving service to others.”

Why is it that we love to drag all that baggage from childhood with us? We heave it dutifully. We haul it everywhere we go. And we pull it out at the drop of a hat for all to see.
