On this episode of the truth is, we will be talking about my happy places and what gives me peace. I hope it will encourage someone or two to find their own and build on it.

Happiness is possible and being happy is doable. It’s a conscious effort to knowing what happiness means to you and making sure you stick to it and not allow anything or anyone destroy it, no matter what life throws at you.

I like to reflect on how happy young children are when they don’t know how unkind the world can be until maybe adulthood. Even with being an adult in a wicked world, you can still find, create, escape into that childlike era of pure undiluted happiness and peace.

So let me share some of my happy places and where peace reigns unhindered…

For me being in the presence of the Lord, not necessarily in a congregational setting, just that personal space and having a conversation, through singing, dancing and prayer because I believe in a higher being, the most powerful force, my creator, my lord, my one and only, the only one who judges me with mercy.

-Anywhere peace dwells and I’m comfortable.

-Any place I can be myself.

-Any place laughter and great humor is the main course.

-Anywhere positivity reigns.

-Any place I’m seen and heard even when I don’t utter a single word or wear something fancy.

-Any place I can breathe easy, let my hair down, and just be.

You need to seek peace and be at peace within yourself because no one can give you that especially if they don’t have it to give. Maybe when you identify what peace is to you then you can give others peace.

This are my truths.

What gives you peace and where are your happy places?
