happiness
Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
The Art of Patience
It all started on a Zoom call. My friend Sarah showed me a project that she was making for her brother who had recently married. It was a cross-stich pattern that showed a house in a snowy scene. She had made her parents a similar one years ago. The design included lots of detail, from the street numbers on the front porch, to a Christmas tree with lights glittering in the window.

14 Daily Happiness Habits to Adopt Right Now
That’s what we all strive to do, right? Happiness, I mean. I thought happiness was about my outer world. If things were going well for me (in my job, social life, relationships, etc.), then I was happy. When things did not go well, which often did not happen in one place or another, I felt frustrated, angry, or defeated.

Making Normal Things Weird
A girl destined, or should we say desperate, to live a creative life. Since like, forever. Picture her… 5-foot 1-inch, middle child, brown hair, freckles, kind eyes, crooked teeth, smart mouth, as stubborn as they come, shamelessly curious, childlike heart, big wild dreams. What could possibly go wrong here?

Yarn Therapy
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2014 and I thought the mermaid tails were that last ever grandma made gifts for my grandchildren. My hand became swollen and painful and finally started deforming. I drop things all the time, it hurt to even to hold a brush to brush my hair. Medicine helped but I just couldn't pick up my crocheting hook without pain. I basically felt like I couldn’t do anything anymore.

A Story Of Scissors,Thread & Fabric
Covid-19 pandemic, unemployment, ANXIETY - this was basically 2020 in a nutshell, but even with all this going on I knew I wasn't just going to sit around and do nothing. Now was the time to finally chase my dreams again. I was going to pick up these scissors and make some beautiful clothing. Building a suit from scratch is like painting a painting. You have to use your fabric, thread, lining, and buttons. You need the right tools, and once you have them, you can make anything. I had my sewing machine and scissors and I was ready to do this.

CREATE YOUR HAPPINESS
The Yahweh God-given talent that I possess that also brings me happiness would have to be my creativity of writing. As long as I can remember I've been writing creatively and I have always gotten accolades for my skill. I can recall being in the fourth grade and having a weekly assignment of composing an original story that had to be read aloud in class. Well, everyone in the class had to write a story and read it, but I seemed to steal the show. Along with the Yahweh-given talent, of which I was not aware of at the time, my mother had given me a Childcraft encyclopedia set, as well as buying me books and comic books often. So as an only child that was just mischief enough to get punished by being restricted to my bedroom, I had ample time to do a lot of reading and creating. At that time in the early eighties, rap music was making it's way into circulation and every young boy, including me, thought that he'd be the next big thing. So using the talent I didn't even realized I had, I wrote rap song after rap song in my adolescent hopes of being the next LL Cool J. Noticing I was able to write raps, my mother decided that she would attempt to manage me and two of my friends. I was excited, at first, but the thrill didn't last long. I felt as if she began pushing me too hard and that took all the fun out of being the next rap star, so I threw in the towel. That didn't deter me from continuously jotting down verses in my notebooks and pretending however.

Advice to a Parent Who is Planning tp Build Self Confidence in Her Child
For long, man has searched for the most perfect environment by which he must immerse children into. The main aim of which is to raise ideal children that are whole heartedly devoted to the purity of their being and in the service of Him who Created all things. The sad truth though is that once men touch something, that thing would be flawed. It is our nature to be perfect though but it is inescapable for us humans to integrate grains of impurity in everything we do.
