Almost Show Time
If you have read my “about” page, you know that I began this blog by asking myself the question, “Why am I so happy now?” Since then, I’ve been sharing all kinds of things about happiness—what it feels like, stories that illustrate it, some advice to point you in its direction, the views of life that being in a state of happiness have brought me. And it’s been really heart-warming to hear from many of you that you find inspiration and uplift here.
But for quite some time now, I’ve wanted to do more. I want to share with you the “how to” of happiness, to provide you with solid, practical things you can do to discover more happiness in your life. So over the course of the last several months — when I’m not working or making photos or writing this blog (or taking care of the laundry or shoveling snow or attending to all the myriad tasks that keeping body and soul together require us to do) — I’ve been studying positive psychology and philosophies of the good life, and building a new blog.
Tonight, with great pleasure, and not a little trepidation, I’m happy to announce that its launch is near. The pleasure comes from being able, at last, to provide you with concrete actions you can do to take your sense of well-being to new heights, to experience more of life’s beauty, wonder and joy in your own life. (And just in case you’re wondering, High on Happiness won’t go away. The new blog is just a its baby sister.) There’s pleasure in a goal achieved. And more than that, there’s joy in sharing happiness and in serving.
The trepidation comes from stage fright, of wondering whether I can meet the standards I’ve set for myself, wondering whether I’ll get all the last-minute things done, since always there is more to do, and wondering if I’ll ever get a chance to sleep again.
But part of living well entails trusting enough to make the leap when life brings you to a chasm. And part of it is being accountable to others. So I’m leaping, and trusting, and inviting you to share in the pre-launch fun.
To get in on the very beginning, just go to Positive-Living-Now and sign up for the updates. I’m putting the finishing touches on a survey you can take to help me tailor-make the site for you. And I have a thank-you present I’ll send you, too, that needs just a tad more attention. So get your name on my list and watch your email. The orchestra is warming up in the pit, the house lights are beginning to dim, and before the month is out, the curtain will rise.
I’d love to know that you’re in the front row when it does.
