I started The Happiness Haven (Cult? Community? TBD!) this year. It reminds me daily that joy's still worth fighting for. And when the world's exhausting, my Unitarian Universalist community helps me breathe again, as they keep widening the circle, choosing love over fear. I choose Hope. You?

🌿 Grace is beautiful — but not infinite. On a recent trip to Mexico, I saw both deep humanity and the cracks in our collective compassion. What happens when grace starts to run out? I wrote about the tension and the hope: open.substack.com/pub/thehappi... #compassion

This is not really surprising, but it's important to talk about the impact of despair... and then do something about it. Just one of the reasons we founded Thehappinesshaven.org

This Thanksgiving I’m skipping the 'cranberry arsenic sauce', anything served with obligation instead of love. We can set boundaries, make room for joy, and always say yes to love over obligation. ♥ What are you leaving off your plate this year? #Boundaries #ThanksgivingReflections #ChooseJoy

Sometimes it feels like life hands us nothing but gray skies and long nights. The weight of the world is on our shoulders, all hope slipping through our fingers. But here’s a reminder for those tough days — we’re stronger than we think, and the smallest spark of hope can light our way forward. ♥
