As many of you may know from the eZine I published yesterday, I’m back from a joyful, action-packed adventure in California!

The most exciting event for me was getting to meet Lissa Rankin. Soon after our “virtual” meeting (first via Twitter when I answered her query for favorite kid-friendly holiday rituals and later on her blog, we learned that we share similar passions for everything from African-American women’s literature, to providing exemplary health care to women, to being mommies with mojo, to helping all people create authentic, happy lives. Quite simply, we recognized each other as soul sisters.

On that happy day last week when we finally met in person, we planned several great ways that Midwife for Your Life and Owning Pink can join forces (“Wonder Twin Powers Activate!”) to inspire and support our readers as they take risks and create happier, more authentic lives.

Lissa graciously consented to allow me to tape an interview with her on my favorite topic—happiness!
