what makes you happiest?
A smiley toddler, an energetic husband, and a clean apartment. Also sunshine, green grass, and the beach.

do you have a ‘happy place’?
Funny you ask because in some of my recent meditations I'm asked to visualize my 'happy place' or my place of comfort. Oddly enough my most comforting visualization is laying in our king-sized bed with a big cozy white comforter all wrapped up together as a co-sleeping family. Oh and it's morning so the sun is shining through the window on us. That visual comforts me every time I use it.

do you have a favourite happy song?
Hmm...I really don't listen to music (my ipod has all hypnosis and meditation tracks, haha) but I like songs that bring happy memories to mind like "My Girl" by the Temptations or "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith.

what gets you past a bad day?
Oh I have this down to a science now. First I need to shut off any devices that access internet (it overwhelms me). Then a bath. Next some lavender oil burning, some candles lit, some meditation, some movement like yoga, and a some reading. Of course the munchkin would have to have successfully gone to bed in order for any of this to take place.

 what makes you happiest?
 Being around my husband and family. The love of a family is one of life's greatest blessings.
"The family is a creation of the Almighty. It represents the most sacred of all relationships. It represents the most serious of all undertakings. It is the fundamental organization of society."
-Gordon B. Hinckley
do you have a ‘happy place’?
My happy place is our home. I consider our home to be a safe haven from the world in which we live today.
do you have a favourite happy song?
This song came right to my mind. Every time I hear this song it gets me pumped up.
Mandisa-Stronger
The meaning of this song is that when we hold unto God's hands, we can walk through the most difficult trials and challenges in our lives and God is able to bring us out stronger.
what gets you past a bad day?
Prayer and reading my scriptures. These two things are essential and most important in my every day routine. Its the only thing that gets me through each day and I love the peace and happiness that comes from it.
