It’s Saturday night in the luxury suite of a fancy hotel in an important city. A powerful man stands alone in the room, adjusting his watch in the mirror.

You fill your car up...who fills you up?

“Well, that sounds positive,” were the first words out of Tarronia “Tank” Ball’s mouth after we described Happy to her.

A discussion on healthy food, healthy support and a healthy life.

I need music. Almost everyday, at some point, you’ll find me pacing around my living room with headphones on.

Over the past year Jess Best has released a steady stream of music, some short snippets straight off her phone, and other more polished tracks like More, which is quickly approaching 2 million streams on Spotify.

I hope that the items in this picture give some insight into the person I am.

There is a good book. I have always found comfort listening to other people's stories. There is a necklace that I wear with my Grandmother's wedding ring and some of my sister's remains: 2 people who I love and have lost, but always carry with me. There is a photo that always makes me laugh.  Life bites us on the ass sometimes. Humor gets me through. And though you can't see it, these items are piled on a big, comfy, blue chair.

Kindness.

Comfort.

Humor.

Talk. I'll listen.

Happy Giver, glass artist, wellness coach, Ayurvedic practitioner

I am the middle of five children, raised on a pear orchard in Wisconsin. I am really close with my family and I learned early on that I love human beings - that getting to know others provides access to a deeper understanding of self. My parents are very social people, who regularly make time for others. Their devotion to showing up, caring for, and loving people taught me how to be open and to offer as much of myself as I can to the world.

I would say that all of my interests stem from my desire to connect with others. I express and share my own emotions through my art, and help others explore theirs through wellness coaching and Happy.
