This month’s upcoming Tell Us Something event has me thinking quite a bit about happiness. In last month’s newsletter, I linked to an article from Psychology Today about happiness. Right now, I’m specifically interested in Eudemonic Happiness, which was discussed in the article.

This image features a retro-styled graphic flowchart with a textured, worn teal background and off-white circular text nodes connected by dark brown arrows.
Flowchart Logic
Starting Node: The large central circle at the top asks: "ARE YOU HAPPY?"
If YES: An arrow points left to a circle reading "YES", which leads straight down to a large node at the bottom left: "KEEP DOING WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING."
If NO: An arrow points right to a circle reading "NO", which leads down to the question: "DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY?"
If YES: Following the arrow from "YES" leads to a central node: "CHANGE SOMETHING."
If NO: Following the arrow from "NO" points horizontally all the way back across to the node: "KEEP DOING WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING."
Visual Style
The poster has a vintage, mid-century aesthetic with a faux-creased paper texture, sans-serif typography, and subtle credit text printed in the top right corner (T/C-2) and along the bottom margin.

Stories have a way of opening our minds, softening our hearts, and bringing us together. This month I continue exploring the question of what happiness is, invite you to share your own “Pursuit of Happiness” story.

This image is a paper-cut art illustration set against a textured, warm ochre-gold background.
Key Elements
The Mouth: Positioned on the left side, an open mouth is crafted out of layered paper cutouts. It features prominent pink lips, a row of white teeth, a pink tongue, and a dark purple/black throat interior complete with a stylized uvula.
The Speech Bubble: Emerging directly from the open mouth to the right is a white, textured paper speech bubble. It is blank inside, leaving space for dialogue or text.
Style & Texture: The artwork uses a distinct collage/papercraft aesthetic, with visible fine textures and subtle drop shadows that give the elements a three-dimensional, layered appearance.
Text in Speech Balloon
The text is written in a clean, purple, sans-serif font:
CALL FOR STORYTELLERS “Pursuit of Happiness” (all lowercase, bold)

Chasing Happiness in the Big Sky Summer is in full swing, the skies are clear, and the wild raspberries are ripe. And as we gear up for the next Tell Us Something live storytelling event on September 23rd, we find ourselves chewing on a big question: What exactly is the pursuit of happiness?

A person is holding a small, white ceramic dish filled with freshly picked raspberries in the palm of their hand.
Here are the key details of the image:
The Dish: A square-ish white bowl with a subtle, wavy texture on the inner surface. It is piled with bright red, ripe raspberries.
The Hand: A fair-skinned hand supports the dish from underneath, positioned in the lower left and center foreground.
The Background: A lush, green raspberry bush fills the rest of the frame. The background is softly blurred (shallow depth of field), but you can spot a few more unpicked raspberries still hanging from the branches amidst the green leaves.
