#HappinessHappens #HomeGoodsSweeps

We’re so excited that the national home décor retailer HomeGoods will be celebrating Happiness Happens Day with us today in stores across the country. Find a store near you. If you’re in New York City and Dallas there’ll be a few more surprises.

Even more exciting is that HomeGoods will be giving away $10,000 in gift cards over the course of the day to lucky participants who share their happiest moments on Twitter or Instagram.

To enter the Happiness Happens HomeGoods sweepstakes –

Share how you made a moment of happiness happen in someone’s life – no matter how big or small – either by posting a photo on Instagram or Twitter using #HappinessHappens and #HomeGoodsSweeps.

Winners are chosen randomly and will be awarded $100 gift cards throughout the day on 8/8 from 9AM to 5PM EST.

Visit www.homegoods.com/hhsweeps for official rules.

As mentioned in yesterday’s post  your Happiness Happens Day challenge is to take 8 selfies or groupies of the people, places and things that make you happy. Then post them with hashtag #HappinessHappens. I’ll also be searching the hashtag during the day and some people will get a surprise gift from me.

Thanks for making #HappinessHappens and I can’t wait to see your happy posts today. Who knows, maybe we’ll cross paths if you’re at HomeGoods in the DFW area … I plan to visit several of them today.
