Let's Get Happy and Disrupty!

Let me back up to the beginning. How this all got started.

I was in a pretty bad mood from 2016 through 2022. Wonder why? And that meh mood lingered even after some of the dust settled. It was in late-December 2022 that I realized I couldn’t take feeling that miserable anymore. And what I was experiencing was internalized. I didn’t share it with the world. Much. But I knew that something had to change. That I had to change.

So I did what any smart, sane, self-caring woman would do. Call my therapist? LOL. Nah! I Googled “happiness”, and stumbled upon a course to be, of all things, a happiness coach.

My initial reaction was to laugh out loud, thinking, “Oh. My. Gawd. How absurd!” When I was done cackling, my second reaction was, “Oh my gawd. That’s exactly what I want to do.”

And, of course I started doing all this right when everything went wrong! As I've watched the last year unfold, I realized that fighting fire with fire doesn't work. Being angry doesn't work. Being sad doesn't work. (And, yes, there's a helluva lot to be angry and scared about.) What I believe will work (and no one will see coming) is a happiness rebellion. Because when we are truly, deeply, authentically happy, we are fully in our power. We just need to understand happiness a bit better to make that work. Change your life, change the world.
