Happy - The Movie, The Movement

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Happy - The Movie, The Movement. last night at the Kansas Underground Salt Museum.  The movie was awesome and highly recommended!

Just some thoughts on the experience:

I was amazed to see a quite large group of people at the screening.  Many of the people that attended also purchased the pre-release DVD.  I was so excited that so many people in our area were excited about happiness. 

After mingling with the group for some time, I made my wait to the waiting area to wait for the next elevator up.  I spent some time people watching and was rather disheartened to find that a large number of people in the waiting area were frowning or even almost scowling, after having just had a novel experience of watching a movie in a salt mine on HAPPINESS.  How could these people have just watched a movie about happiness, and how people have overcome great adversities and remained happy throughout horrid circumstances, and these people have wondrous opportunities and wealth - comparatively speaking- and still be standing there frowning?

This has just reaffirmed my resolve to do all within my power to bring more happiness to our community...and you, my dear reader, are part of that plan.  You are here, I assume, because you have a similar conviction.  So, my dear friends, please get out there and perform those random acts of kindness and pay it forward!

An Awesome Place to Find A Way to Spread Your Kindness

We are so blessed to live in an age where whatever it is that you need, you can find it online!  It is so awesome to see people using this to bring happiness, kindness and joy to others in a positive, proactive way.


Today I was introduced to this website: www.volunteerkansas.org.  This site matches volunteers (of time, services, of materials) to those that can use them. 

I urge you to check out this site and bookmark it so that on those days that you are searching for a way to spread kindness, you have a place to go for an idea.
