There are moments

when life is a joyless puzzle.

Moments when all you want is

simply to be happy.

Take a deep breath.

Smile.  Relax.

Welcome to The Art of Happiness,

a place to create remarkable joy

in the common moments of everyday life.

Where you can make

truly amazing things happen

for you

and your world.

And live everyday,

rich in

purpose,

passion,

and joy.

My name is Hoong Yee Lee Krakauer.

I am a surfer, a runner, a writer and

married to a nice Jewish boy named Seth.

We raised three kids in a big old beach house in Rockaway Beach, New York

around the corner from Mildred and Irvin, my darling in-laws.

Sounds like a sitcom, doesn’t it.

I really appreciate you stopping by.   Your happiness is important to me and I want to know how I can help you jump start your joy.
