Episode 122: Laughing Matters (April 2026)

Text comments and questions here!This time in my life is really hard. I still struggle to find the words to describe this. I'm a writer. Yet, I fail to find the words for this. In the meantime, I continue forward in ways that I can. Perhaps you are facing something that's hard, too. If you are, this episode is for you. When life gets hard or when life sucks, I know I'm at a crossroad. I know I have to choose the path I take and how I proceed. So, I'm choosing gratitude. I'm choosing to laugh. I'm choosing joy. It's not easy to do every day. Still, I try. I encourage you to do the same. Laughing Matters features the end-of-the-month highlights and usually includes four segments: celebrations, libation of the month, rants, and questions and answers. Celebrations are about intentionally forming a habit of noticing and acknowledging the good within and around you. Libation of the month is based on whatever I fancy or feel inspired by at the time. I share step-by-step instructions and you can mix right along with me. Rants or stories are about anything I find funny and want to share. Ask me a question. It might be featured in a future episode.Libation of the Month:Honshu PunchRecipe from tenjakuwhiskyusa.com 2.0 oz Tenjaku Blended Whisky.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice.50 oz Pineapple Juice.50 oz Simple Syrup4 Dashes Aromatic Bitters Top with Club Soda Serve in a highballGarnish with a lemon wedgeAdd a fun straw (I always do)Mentions: Whiskey Notes Video on IG (featuring Tenjaku Blended Whisky)Jack Rudy Cocktail Co.
