Happy Fresh Start Friday!

I love happiness. My recent vacation reminded me that happiness isn’t hiding; it’s quietly growing inside the choices we make every day.

At any given time, we can say, “There’s a lot going on.” When I hear that statement, I sense an undertone that suggests we can’t make too much room for happiness because of how doom and gloom might fill the room.

Here’s what I’ve been reminded of: happiness isn’t always something you find; it’s something you allow.

As human beings, I like to call us Happiness Designers. We get to choose our homes, our mode of transportation, the thread count of our sheets, our food, and so much more. The choice belongs to us!

Happiness is a daily decision. I find mine in rest, quiet, the ocean, candles, cleanliness, and sweet iced tea (I’m unapologetically Southern!).

You may not always feel happy, but you can always choose habits that create room for it.

🌼 This Fresh Start Friday, keep on your CAP to maintain happiness.​
CAP is my framework for designing happiness:

Confidence is the soil where happiness grows. It’s knowing you’re worthy of joy, even when life feels uncertain.

Acceptance isn’t giving up. It’s giving yourself permission to rest in reality while still believing in better. Peace comes when you stop fighting what is.

Positivity is a daily lens. You can acknowledge pain and still look for meaning. You can grieve and still grow.

Remember, you are not chasing happiness. You are designing it.

​

With love and confidence,
