Hi Gretchen! I love your blog and cannot wait to read your book! I just added your blog link to my site - I'm also writing about self-improvement, but not so much happiness :)

Gretchen,
Great quote.
It is often said that we can increase our happiness simply by having a better attitude. This may be true, but it isn't so easy to do when our thoughts are consumed with regrets and guilt about things we did and happened to us in the past.
We can't change our past, but we can change our perceptions of it - we can change our own realities.
Success and happiness don't happen overnight. Change is incremental, but we'll contunue to expand so long as we learn from our mistakes, put the past behind us, and continually work to learn and grow.

Oscar, truly, was the man. Have to love when we're doing, in order to be successful.

"Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix
anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher
place. Start right where you are." -- Julia Cameron
