Thank you for your kind notes about my couple of weeks off for a recharge. Lots of changes are in the air and I’ll share more soon.
For the first time in 20 years, I gave serious consideration to canceling Happiness Happens Month.
It’s not that happiness isn’t happening–it is. However, there’s also a lot of sad, uncertain, and even life-changing news for many as a result of this global pandemic. People are stressed and unhappiness is at an all-time high.
However, happiness is still happening. And in times like these, we need to make an extra effort to notice our happy moments even if they look a little different than our normal happiness.
So, we have to celebrate Happiness Happens Month.
We’ll be doing Operation #SmileStarter–a pandemic, social distancing, mask-wearing #SmileStarter Challenge–to help you and others smile a bit more.
SOHP Insiders will be getting the calendar soon, so you don’t need to sign up for anything else. I’m making the final smile tweaks and hope to send it next week.
As a heads up start thinking about your perfect #SmileStarter Mask. What would be on it?
We have a new SOHP Subscriber Resource page with lots of the goodies for you to download.
While I know some of you are doing well–thanks for sharing your stories with me–I also know many people are feeling some challenging feelings.
Therefore, I decided to postpone the launch of the Raise Your Vibe Challenge–it will be coming soon, but right now, for the next few days or weeks I feel we needed something a little more soulfully focused.
I’m hosting an 8 pm CDT (most evenings) Restore, Pray & Love FB Live.
If you’re not on FB, no worries, just sign up here and we’ll send you the daily videos.

Pamela,
I am so glad that you did not cancel Happiness Happens Month. I believe we need it now more than ever. You have a special calling with this work you are doing and I appreciate it more than I can say. Your words have lifted me up from the doldrums many times. Keep up this wonderful ministry please.
Peace be with you.
