Last night David and I went to the Tate Lecture Series at SMU and heard Waco
native and Dallas resident, Shawn Achor, speak about happiness and the benefits
of positive psychology. I kept wondering
if this guy felt pressure to exhibit happiness all the time because there are
some days when you just don’t feel like it.
He has given a TED Talk, The
Happy Secret to Better Work (which I’m sure we will make our kids watch) and
written a few books and even more articles.

| Blueberry Coffee Cake |
Do you know what I’m positive about? You will like this coffee cake. It is moist and delicious and you might feel
a little guilty eating this for breakfast (note that I said “little” – I didn’t
say that it should stop you from making it or eating it). My friend, Tiffany, and her daughter brought
us this treat when we moved into our house.
The door hadn’t closed behind them before we dug into the still warm
cake.
You might ask “what am going to do with a blueberry muffin
mix and no can of blueberries?” – make these raspberry
muffins. Blueberry coffee cake for a few days, then raspberry muffins - that will help everyone’s happiness and create
positive transformation in your house.
- 1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 box Butter recipe Duncan Hines cake mix
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ c vegetable oil
- 1 can blueberries, rinsed and drained
Beat and mix all ingredients, except for blueberries, with a
mixer. Fold in blueberries and mix by
hand. Grease and flour a bundt cake
pan. Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, until
a tester comes out clean. Allow cake to
cool in the pan before turning it over onto a plate.
