Hi! I’m Courtney McCracken.
And I believe happiness is a lifestyle.
I first conceived of Happy Life Lessons almost 10 years ago. It was a response to the crazy pace of life I was enduring as a mother of small children and wife & business partner to my husband.
I kept thinking that there must be a way to build a nice life for ourselves without so much misery! I decided to commit to living my life joyfully. And that set in motion the craziest life I could have ever imagined.
I asked for happiness and the Universe complied. What a wild ride we’ve had since that fateful decision & also? What a gift it’s been.
Happy Life Lessons is where I am working to compile all the lessons I have learned so far. Some of it is pretty straightforward advice – like don’t do travel sports. Like, seriously, just don’t. And some of it is a little bit (ok a lot) more ethereal. Like what I like to do when nothing is going right.
I am a real world philosopher & a mom to 5 homeschooling kids with my husband, photographer Zach Dobson. We live in Indiana, which is where we operate our media company together which is comprised of Zach Dobson Photography, the Photography Is Nothing Podcast, and Happy Life Lessons.
