Happiness Project Month 5 Wrap-Up

February 1, 2017 By Jodi

This month in my happiness project I wanted to give myself an attitude adjustment. I wanted to pause to enjoy the moment, and I wanted to work on my bad habit of complaining too much. I was fairly successful in my first goal but less so in my second. It helped that I set myself up...

January 10, 2017 By Jodi

Show Me Your Mess

February 11, 2019 By Sonia Ruyts 1 Comment
