About Me

Hi, I’m Cecile! I’m a wife, mother and U.S. veteran. I’ve always been a creative person, either dabbling in art or writing. So I created The Happiness Forecast and the YouTube channel, Running With Scissors to express my thoughts and use some of my experiences to spread some hope.

When I was in my twenties, I met a woman who was in her fifties. She was absolutely beautiful. Just radiant. Her skin glowed. Her hair was soft and shiny. But it was her spirit that amazed me. She had a freedom about her that was sexy and bad-ass and feminine all at the same time. I wanted to be just like her when I got to her age. Now, in my mid-forties, I think I’m getting close. I’m not quite there yet, I feel a bit clumsy at times. I feel a bit more tired than I want to be and my skin doesn’t seem as glowy as hers did. I likely need to hydrate more. But my spirit feels at home, and I think that’s a good sign.

I’m Cecile

Welcome to my little safe space of honesty. I invite you to join me on my journey through life’s lessons of heartbreak and regrets, promises of grace and forgiveness, and acceptance of shortcomings and hope for the future. We’re all imperfect and the discovery of happiness comes in the embrace of our full selves, flaws and all.
