Thanks to all who entered our Twitter contest celebrating happiness and style (and their powerful overlap)!
Our question was,
“What do you wear, do, or think every day that gives you happiness?”
These were the answers we got:
- I wear a ring my father gave me at 13 to remind myself how much you can mean to someone even when you feel alone.
- I talk to my 7-year-old niece who even in daily pain manages to be the happiest brightest magicalest thing ever.
- Happiness=mindful, deliberate, daily gratitude and thanks to God for multitude of blessings (family, health, soul, purpose).
- My morning ritual. Waking up next to the boy and meditating while he showers, then email!
- Summery dresses, time in African nature, and pondering gratitude daily.
- Sexy lingerie, l&b dancing, and meditating on absolutely zip for a diurnal shot of bliss.
- Having faith that the universe is conspiring in my favour always brings a smile to my face.
- I feel happy when I wear my Elegant Discovery necklace with a purple amythyst (my favorite color) and lotus flower pendant.
- Wearing pearl earrings everyday in memory of my great-grandmother Pearl makes me happy!
- I start each day with 5-10 minutes of quiet meditation and deep breathing, then set my intention for the day
- Happiness? I snuggle my Whippet Parker, rub Ken’s amazing bald head, sip a triple latte, laugh with my girlfriends & ponder my good fortune.
- Playing old radio shows while I work (e.g., The Whistler!)
- I remind myself that everyday above ground is a good day, no matter WHAT comes down! Shoes make me happy!

I loved reading the responses. And what a lovely almost-Valentine’s Day surprise and excellent deal. It is *very* tempting to take you up on the discuss/redefine of my Style Statement. I’m going to mull that over this weekend. It does seem like such a perfect Valentine’s gift to ourselves, doesn’t it?! Thank you for that offer!
