How do you see your life?  Do you see yourself as a glass-half full person or a glass half empty person?

Why is happiness more than just feeling good? In addition to feeling good, happiness is also important to your health, success, and relationships. Your happiness isn’t just important to you. It’s also important to your friends, family, and your employer. Happy people are healthier. Happier people get sick less frequently and less severely on the average. A bad mood is bad for your immune system, t...

Why is it so important for us to laugh, that there are actual careers dedicated to making us laugh? A positive result of the pandemic is the explosion of the gig economy.

How many times have you sat around wishing your love relationship was better or that you were in a love relationship, at all?

Being a strong and free person includes the ability to move freely through the world wit...

COVID 19 really impacted our feelings of belongingness! While we were able to ZOOM ourselves to video conferencing fatigue, nothing could replace the joy of face-to-face interactions.  Especially, if touch was involved.
