We spend our lives running from a mirror that reflects only the shame and rage we were taught to carry as our own. But freedom is not in outrunning your past. It’s in turning around, opening the door, and saying hello to the happiness we’ve always been given.
In Hello Happiness, Lola Kenyon steps through the door. She tells her tale of years trapped in emotional and physical abuse and how others feeling stuck can finally see they aren’t alone. She stopped letting pain control her by doing tiny things: daily self-love, forgiving herself for what she could not fix, and finally saying what happened. That’s how she changed from victim to survivor, like dropping an albatross from C S Lewis’s story. She didn’t just end the anger, and she started living with peace again.
His mission is to share a personal perspective on Navy life as a Public Affairs Officer while also showing the role that chance, faith, and perseverance can play in shaping one’s life journey.
His vision is to inspire others to trust life’s path through this faith based military memoir true story book. He is a testament to the Navy’s slogan, Join The Navy and See The World.
His mission is to share personal perspective on military life during the Vietnam era while also showing the role that chance, faith, and perseverance can play in shaping one’s life journey.

What if the very path you chose to avoid danger led you straight into it? What if your careful plans failed from the very first step? In The Naval Officer Who Never Went To Sea by Jerry Robert Ryan, that’s exactly what happens with Ryan. A young man’s plan to avoid war quickly falls apart when his first assignment sends him straight into the Vietnam War. It is one of the top Vietnam War armed forces memoir books that shows the honest and real-life twists of a naval officer who never went to sea. Ryan is sent to the Mekong Delta, working alongside Army units in the middle of the war he tried to escape. In this true story Navy officer life story book, Ryan spent part of his Navy career in Army commands, not only in Vietnam but also in South Korea and Germany. Many armed forces memoirs about Vietnam War focus on combat or life aboard ships at sea. This story is different because it highlights the unexpected career path of a Navy officer who spent his entire career in unique assignments around the world without ever serving at sea.

What inspired me was how he kept getting sent to places he never planned for—Vietnam, Korea, and even Pentagon work later on. I have never read a biography of a U.S. Navy officer like this one. It’s a totally refreshing and new experience.
I kept thinking about the moment he said he joined the Navy just to avoid Vietnam, only to end up right in it. That part was real and messy. I would have totally panicked. Also, his dedication to accept the role and fulfil the duty makes this U.S. Navy officer memoir more authentic and relatable.
I read your book over the weekend. I am so impressed. You truly had such an amazing career! I am glad you took the time to write so others can enjoy your lifetime adventures. It is good reading. Congratulations!
I really enjoyed reading your book! I confess it brings back a lot of very personal and enjoyable memories of my own Navy days. Your book brought to mind so many places I visited in my Navy days, I had a hard time putting it down. I could go on and on… Congratulations on your work, your service and sharing your memories.
read your book on Kindle this evening and really enjoyed it. I am going to buy the hardback book so I can add it to my library.
