Did you know that weirdness is hereditary? Yeah, you get it from your kids. Did you catch that? Because the best things in life aren't taught, they're caught. Last week we talked about some of the not so serious things my mom taught me and it came to my attention that I might have been a little hard on her. So this week I decided to talk about the …

Things that I learned from my wonderful mother. She taught me some great life lessons, but I didn't share any of those in this episode, however. Here are 25 funny things all moms tend to say.

Instead of the F word try the Nevertheless word and see what happens. There are nearly five thousand adjectives in the English language and it feels like the F-bomb is trying to take them all hostage.

Do you want to believe in yourself more? Would you like to be more confident and think more positively? It's not complicated to do. We all have a bouncer in our brain—it's been proven scientifically.

Are you desperately searching for answers? The problem is, we usually don't find them until we stop striving and searching. Fixating on the problem only enlarges the problem and freezes us from moving forward—it freezes us from living life. Like I heard my son's band, Guava Tree, sing the other night, "relax and get your power back". That was so go…

Life is sweet but it can also be sour. It really depends on what we decide to scatter around us. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said “There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.” Scattering Joy is like spreading Happy. The more Happy we spread, the more joy we scatter and the sweeter life…

My toothbrush has been talking to me lately. Should I be concerned? Aristotle said "Well begun is half done" but AriStevo says "Well begun is half done, but not even close to completely done".

Whether it's a New Years Theme we choose to go with (which we recommend at Happy Life Studios) or New Years Resolutions, if we do them right, they will change our life.

So many talk about New Year's resolutions. It would appear that somehow that became the norm. However if you look at the statistics, you would see that New Year's resolutions don't work for most. We think there is a better way. Resolutions are a real pain, but New Year's themes are a real gain. We will talk about more differences between Yearly the…

Christmas is a time to believe. Belief and imagination is what makes it so magical and wonderful. It's also a time for children, which is fitting because children tend to believe a lot more than adults do—probably because imagination is highly underrated by many. It's OK for children to imagine and believe, but at some point those same children are…

To aim for the goal of having the perfect holidays or the best Christmas ever, is to set one up for a Noel nightmare.

Sometimes the reason we struggle with living Happy is as simple as who or what we put on our dance cards.

When you ask someone how they are doing and they respond with, "I can't complain," I don't know if I believe them. I mean there is always something to complain about right?
