Just like the unusual life cycle of the butterfly life in general can be an unusual journey.
My vision for this blog is take anything and everything I know that is positive and share my journey with whom ever wants to read it and even share it with myself... I’ve been told many times that I am a very optimistic person. With my faith and spirituality and billions of wonderful quotes out there from all kinds of wonderful people and creative writers this has facilitated ways to be positive. I plan to share the quotes and writings that help keep me positive in everyday circumstances as well as challenges and crisis that occur along the way.
I have always wanted to try new things in life, different things so I will be starting my very own Happiness Project based of the book by Gretchen Rubin -The Happiness Project. My life is a happy life, but I am always looking for new ways to better myself and those around me especially my children.
I will use this blog to share my journey over the next 12months as well as what is mentioned above.
And the journey begins…..

The Happiness Project
So ever since I saw a segment on the Today Show with Author Gretchen Rubin I have been very intrigued to read her new book The Happiness Project.
The interest to read this book is not because I am unhappy, but because I always try to stay positive and be positive to everyone I meet, every circumstance… every time. A lot of that comes from my faith and being spiritual. However I am always looking for new ways to be a better person, mother, wife, friend, sister, daughter, Christian….you get the point.
A few things that caught me about this book are the following:
First: To be happier, you have to think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth.
Second: One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy; One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself.
"Whoever is happy will make others happy, too." Mark Twain
If some of you have never heard of the book it is about
The engaging, relatable and inspiring result of the author’s twelve-month adventure in becoming a happier person. Written with a wicked sense of humor and sharp insight.
Each month, Gretchen pursued a different set of resolutions—go to sleep earlier, tackle a nagging task, bring people together, take time to be silly—along with dozens of other goals. She read everything from classical philosophy to cutting-edge scientific studies, from Winston Churchill to Oprah, developing her own definition of happiness and a plan for how to achieve it and kept track of it.
So, I have ordered my book and it will be here by Monday – My Plan is to start it in March, track my experiences and hopefully help make the world ( or my little world) a happier place.
