There Are Always Two Sides To See
Sooo…How was your day? is a collection of true stories from moments in your life that could have been negative or positive, and you choose to see the positive message in them. What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
I wanted people to understand that things in life happen and how we choose to look at them makes a difference. Laughing at one’s self is great therapy.
What experience in your life has had the biggest impact on your writing?
That is a loaded question, many things happened in my life that turned in the direction of writing. The first was to right a wrong when I was a child and the second was how I wanted to view my own life. I wanted to look at things in a positive light instead of a negative one. There are always two sides to see.
What is one thing you hope readers take away from your story?
I hope readers take away that things could be better or worse, that you can laugh at yourself, then maybe others can do this in their own experiences, and the cloud of doom and doubt can lift off their shoulders.

Sooo….How was Your day?
In Sooo…How was your day? Brenda Hammon invites readers into a series of personal anecdotes that span various facets of her life, including everyday experiences, vacations, horse shows, and even the development of her farm. Hammon’s storytelling is marked by a distinct perspective, offering more than the typical narrative and encouraging readers to see beyond the conventional black and white.
One notable tale involves her Anglo Trakehner gelding, Arion. Hammon’s portrayal of Arion’s personality and their dynamic is both amusing and relatable. She vividly recounts an incident where Arion, seemingly aware of his own charm, reacts to his discontent by flicking his tail to comically smack Hammon in the face. This description is so visually compelling that it provokes a genuine laugh as if the reader were witnessing the scene in person. Another memorable episode occurs during a family vacation to Mexico. Hammon’s first snorkeling experience turns comical as she grapples with her discomfort underwater. Her vivid description of panic and the humorous way she reacts to the sensation of being submerged paints a clear, entertaining picture. The narrative also takes a turn towards the absurd with a story about a neighbor’s donkey named Willy. Hammon’s humorous recounting of her attempts to chase Willy off her property, armed with nothing but a quad bike and a lunge whip, ends in an unexpected and humorous tumble. This story, like the others, unfolds with a sense of immediacy and humor that places the reader right in the midst of the action.
Sooo…How was your day? stands out not just for its humor but for the way Hammon brings readers into each scene, making them feel like active participants in her adventures. This book is a delightful read for anyone seeking a lighthearted and genuinely funny narrative journey. Brenda Hammon’s skill in weaving humor and vivid storytelling makes this book a refreshing and enjoyable read.
