And

Again.

Oh my gosh, I just have to shout it from the mountain tops to the whole of this world:  PLEASE!  PLEASE!  PLEASE! Don’t give up on your happy!  We have become a culture that appears to have it all but we stand in this life starving to know who we are and to be known; believing happiness is about collecting things and feeling trapped by the things we have accumulated.  We have given up on our happy.  We have stopped believing it is possible to be happy except under certain conditions chasing an idea and delaying what is ours for the claiming every moment.  We get annoyed by happy people inquisitively asking:  Why are you so happy?  We say crazy stuff like: We were never promised blue skies! stuck in old paradigms of suffering and sacrifice that have played out and must go.  And while I am not in denial that horrific things happen as we make our way on this journey and we must grieve and experience the feelings around those events; we can still find our way to happy, making choices that remind us of the Beauty we are and life is; consciously connecting to this sense of aliveness that comes from a light heart – giggling and laughing all day at anything and everything because life is so damn good even when it sucks and there is no promise of tomorrow.  There is a belief I hold absolute that in the end, the greatest tragedy in reviewing our life will be seeing all the missed opportunities to be happy and soak up the joy that pours through every moment without ceasing.

The invitation this day is to cultivate your happy!  As you brush your teeth, look in the mirror, eye to eye with your Self, commit to being happy and finding your way to happy again and again.  Slay those dragons – old beliefs and habits that keep your happy at bay by shining the light on the moments being fully aware that you have the power to create a happy life.  Lighten your heart thinking of all the joy bringers in your life – those who are easy to love and fill you with a sense of what matters most from your connection that inspires and uplifts.  Do what ya’ gotta’ do out of necessity and plan to do things that excite the hell out of you and make your heart say:  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!   Your happy is essential to your health, that sense of wholeness with vitality springing: mind, body, heart and soul; and your health is indeed the truest wealth tasting the sweetness, allowing the abundance that is, feeling the richness of the simple moments that are actually profound beyond measure.  Take my hand and together, let’s fly into the magic of life ever-flowing, living this dream wide awake, believing with all of us that we get to live happily ever again and again for as long as it lasts.  There is no greater contribution to this world than your happy heart that loves life fiercely come what may.
