How Happy Are You Right Now?

“Perhaps if one really knew when one was happy one would know the things that were necessary for one’s life.”

Marion Blackett-Milner (or: Milner) (pseudonym: Joanna Field) (British Author and Psychoanalyst; February 1st, 1900 ~ May 29th, 1998)

“How happy are you right now? Do you even know?”

“Thankfully, I do know how happy I am presently. Words cannot describe the joy and happiness I experience on a daily basis. I live with the love of my life. We are aligned and connected in extraordinary ways that I have come to believe that we were made for one another. I have waited a lifetime to find him and now that I have, I’m not letting go! He supports me to live authentically with power, full self-expression and freedom. It is MAGIC!” (Heather Houston 1-7-22)

“I believe it possible to transform yourself through intentional practice at being, gratitude and paying attention to what makes you happy. I have been doing that the last 4 years in earnest and I am reaping the fruits of my commitment. I owe a large part of my transformation to my husband who has afforded me space to be me in the moment. That simple gesture has been so loving and renewing for my soul.” (Heather Houston 1-7-26)

“What is missing from many of our days is a true sense that we are enjoying the lives we are living.”

“We must learn to savor small, authentic moments that bring us contentment.”
