table of contents | sample chapters "...Jenny Atchley and Adele Britton give an amazing tour de force on what life is really all about, and the power we all have available to us at any time to change our perception and transform the quality of our lives. I couldn't put this book down, and I don't think you'll be able to, either." – Gary Renard, the best-selling author of The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality The Hokey Pokey IS What It’s All About: ISBN: 978-0-9745488-1-4 The Hokey Pokey IS What It’s All About: Words of Wisdom for the Stressed the Overworked, the Diagnosed, and Those Who Love Them – JENNY ATCHLEY & ADELE BRITTON The Hokey Pokey IS What It’s All About is the story of two women who encountered and overcame common challenges by learning to take everything a little less seriously. They discovered that life, after all, is just “hokey pokey.” 
media / interviews Jenny was 26 when she found herself caught in the madness of a public relations career, rushing to achieve the American Dream. By all appearances, she did just that. She had the Suburban house, the new car, the husband, the dog, the fancy job title. Yet the long hours, relentless boss, and pressure to achieve, achieve, achieve left her haggard and unfulfilled. In short, Jenny was running fast and going nuts in the process. Adele was 58 and at the pinnacle of her counseling career when she contracted a rare and often fatal blood disease called amyloidosis. If that wasn’t bad enough, she had been caregiver to her husband with Alzheimer’s disease, and her financial resources had shrunk precariously. It was dire straits indeed. After months of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, as she teetered on the brink of death, Adele stopped taking it all so seriously. As soon as she stopped letting her troubles define her life, things got better. Taking a spiritual approach to healing her mind and body, Adele soon found that her amyloidosis had gone into remission. She accepted her husband’s slide into muddled absence with poise, and her dwindling income became simply a line in a ledger. Adele realized that the hokey pokey IS what it’s all about. Adele taught Jenny the lessons of her hokey pokey philosophy, and the younger woman began to redefine what was most important in her life. Jobs, appearances, approval from others, status, and possessions brought neither security nor happiness. But adopting the hokey pokey state of mind, along with a desire to laugh more, find true joy, and focus on her real passions in life, Jenny made happier and more fulfilling choices. Together, Adele and Jenny began to sing “Hokey Pokey!” in the face of every challenge they encountered. The Hokey Pokey IS What It’s All About chronicles Jenny and Adele’s experiences learning to embrace a lighter side of life. If you’re struggling with an illness, a failing relationship, a difficult situation, or a high-stress job, or if you’re generally overwhelmed with life’s pressures, we invite you to read our story. It’s courageous and real, and it just might be the thing you need to calm your mind, turn your life around, and start dancing.
