Hi! Welcome to HappyHealthyandProsperous.com!

Who I am:

My name is Tracy J. Robbins.  I love sharing about life skills for success, pairing those skills with concepts and principles from the Bible, and then explaining to apply them in practical ways in everyday, real-life situations.  I have been teaching, speaking and writing about success skills for years, and one day it hit me that God has just as much to say about our success as any expert here on earth (you’re thinking “duh!” right?).  Most of the success advice we find out there is rooted in the Bible anyway.  God WANTS us to succeed and prosper.  The Bible has A LOT to say about our happiness, our health and our prosperity.  My goal here at HappyHealthyandProsperous.com is to share success skills in a useful way with tips, steps and strategies to utilize while at the same time discovering and implementing what God has to say about it.

To be honest, I really didn’t know exactly what a blog was for a long time.  By the way, “blog” is a shortened word for “web log”—I felt a little smarter when I learned that! 🙂 My “web log” will be an avenue for me to share with you the principles that I’ve learned about developing and sustaining a happy, healthy and prosperous life!

Why I created this site/blog:

• Some of my friends have prompted me to do so for years. 🙂
• It gives me the opportunity to have a voice into the lives of people on a much grander scale than just interacting face-to-face.
• Convenience is key…you can connect with me and read my posts whenever it’s convenient for you.  Yes, that means even in your PJ’s, with glasses on, no makeup and messy, ponytail hair—and I don’t see you!  OK…so maybe I’m talking about myself.  Really though, online learning/interaction is really handy because it’s at your own pace, on your own time, and you can even receive my posts and updates direct to your e-mail.
• I also love that this form of sharing is interactive, allowing me to communicate with you while at the same time giving you the ability to share your thoughts, ideas, questions, prayer requests, etc. with me (and I encourage you to do so!).  It’s also interactive in that you can share content with others via social media, e-mail, and so on.

What you’ll find here:

This site/blog will discuss success strategies. There are certain “life skills” that we can master to improve our chances of success in life—Success in our careers, our school/education, our relationships, our health, our spiritual life, and other aspects of our personal, professional and social life.  Basically, I will take various topics related to success in these areas, and I will touch on both a practical side and a spiritual side.  For example, I might talk about Time Management in an applied sense (i.e. discussing to-do lists, procrastination prevention, making the most out of your time, etc.), but then I will also look at what the Bible has to say about managing your time (i.e. what God has to say about procrastination and ways to prevent it, scriptures on planning and organizing, what Jesus had to say about prioritizing, what the Bible says about personal rest and refreshment time, etc.).  The following are some of the topics we’ll discuss here…

• Success (in general)…like this Formula for Success and the 1st Steps to Ultimate Success
• Learning & Personality styles
• Time Management
• Goal-Setting
• Finding and Cultivating Your Gifts, Calling & Purpose
• Reading strategies
• Note-Taking strategies
• Memory methods
• Creative/Critical Thinking, Problem Solving & Emotional Intelligence
• Diversity
• Communication Skills
• Conflict Resolution
• Self-Esteem/Identity
• Health
• Career
• Money Management
• Anything related to being Happy, Healthy & Prosperous
• …and more!

How you can connect with me:

I plan on posting on a weekly basis (maybe with an occasional “Funny Friday” post of a funny joke, picture, story, etc.).  As I mentioned before, I’m looking forward to interacting with you and hearing your comments, feedback, thoughts, ideas, questions, and prayer requests.  Please be encouraged to leave comments on any of the posts or contact me here.  (Please note that I reserve the right to delete comments that are rude, disrespectful, offensive, or off-topic.  By posting on this site you agree to my Comment Policy.)

Special Thanks:

I would like to give a special shout out to a few people who have been instrumental in helping me create this site/blog…

• First and foremost–God because really and truly every bit of this material was inspired by God (or by a correction from God!), so I can’t take the credit for the good stuff.
• My husband, Eric, and kiddos for encouraging me and being so patient through this process. I love you Eric!!
• My sister, Shawna Fisher, is AMAZING!  She has spent countless of hours in graphic design for me not to mention being my sounding board.
• To my other sounding boards…My mom, Jacki, for support and a second pair of eyes, my long-time friend, Michelle, for being the first to inspire me to do this as well as acting as “editor” from time-to-time; my friend, Elizabeth, for taking beautiful photos and cheering me on to use my gifts; Pastor Darian Thomas for instrumental advice, feedback and reassurance; and Dr. Jill Steeley for the encouragement and learning resources.

Thank you!
