Sixteen months ago (on 9/15/2023), I posted my last update.
I was in bad shape then. And since then, it only got worse.
2024 was the most brutal year I had experienced to date. And it was brutal to my mother, ex-wife and daughter as well. But something good came out of it. The intense pressures of 2024 compressed TragicHappy’s previously scattered mission into a single laser beam of purpose.
As a result, 2024’s pain purified my own motives and intentions. And with this new clarity, I realized TragicHappy must not reflect me, but others.
And now, as 2025 begins, a window of relief from my crippling pains has opened. It won’t stay open long, so I’m giving my all to make this project happen.

The past week, I’ve re-designed this site around this clearer mission and mini manifesto.
Now this website, my books and my work—including my story—they’re no longer about me. They’re just the things that point you toward the way.
Because You are the path. You are the community. You are the healer you seek.
And TragicHappy is a lamp along that path.

I hope that’s clearer. And with that, here’s a quick roadmap for the next few weeks:
- Launch The Hoping Tree. In March 2025.
- Give it free to those who need it but don’t have the means.
- Publish content that inspires hope, healing, community.
- Find a way to serve and support communities that help people heal.
Stay tuned (or subscribe). And check out our mini manifesto.
