Finding happiness in the most random ways

I saw this clip of a baby laughing at someone ripping up a bunch of paper for the baby. It was just really sweet to see how much it made the baby laugh. Seeing people, especially babies laugh always brightens my day and I hope it has the same effect on others. I send best wishes and much love to everyone.

The power of a group hug

I saw this clip of a little boy who had survived Hurricane Dorian and was greeted by his classmates with a spontaneous group hug. It made me think of how hugs make situations brighter in being outward, tangible ways of showing support for people in times of crisis. I know that so far, whenever I'm on the receiving end of a hug, I've always felt really safe and protected and at peace. I hope it's something everyone gets to experience. Anyway,  I send everyone best wishes now and always.

Happy Saturday

I just wanted to write and wish everyone a very happy Saturday and a lovely Sunday to come!

Happiness comes....

"Happiness comes from living as you need to, as you want to. As your inner voice tells you to. Happiness comes from being who you actually are instead of who you think you are supposed to be.”  -Shonda Rhimes 

In that spirit, I hope that each day you can do something that makes you feel happiest and I send you best wishes now and always.

Stick to it

"Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard."-Serena Williams

I find that I have many dreams and while they may not have all come true, it's nice to know that my work does pay off in reaching the dreams. Plus, I find that I'm happier when I reach the dreams because I know I had to struggle to reach them and am better for the struggle. If you've got something good that you want to do, I hope that you reach your dream and feel better for doing so. I send you best wishes now and always.

A lovely surprise

People who know me, know that I really like Minions and so my coworkers are so awesome they got a real Minion to visit me and the Disability Policy Consortium staff at our staff meeting today. They did this because I've been working at the DPC for 5 years now. I love my coworkers very much  and with or without Minions I feel really happy and privileged to work for the DPC.

My hope for today and every day

Today and every day I hope you can find at least one happy thing in your life or at least one good feeling. Those good things and good feelings at least for me, make life well worth living. I wish everyone the very best now and alawys.
