I will be hosting three Action for Happiness Get-Togethers at the Essex Library in the new year!

The Get-Togethers are based on the Action for Happiness calendars that can be found here: http://www.actionforhappiness.org/calendars and the book 10 Keys to Happiness by Vanessa King http://www.actionforhappiness.org/ten-keys-to-happier-living-book visit the Essex County Library website to register for a Get-Together! https://www.essexcountylibrary.ca/client/en_US/home/?

Action for Happiness Calendars

Are you enjoying the Action for Happiness calendars?  If you are, there is a good chance I will be doing a monthly “Get Together” at the Essex Library related to the monthly calendars and the book The 10 Keys to Happiness by Vanessa King (you can purchase this book online).  The Get Togethers will only be an hour long and will focus on Tuning In, Connecting and Taking Action, all based on the Action for Happiness calendar topic of the month.  If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, help me out by letting me know which time slot would be your first choice (email me back to let me know):

#1 – a Thursday evening 6:45pm – 7:45pm (with time to hang out until 8pm, closing time for the library)

#2 – a Saturday morning 10am-11am
