When I heard Wayne Dyer say "Don't die with your song still inside you," I decided to share my gift, this book, with the world right away. My original plan was to write an autobiography, but the Universe took me in a slightly different direction sharing what I've learned throughout my life about creating happiness by making wise choices.

Just as I was starting to write my book I discovered that a new field of psychology, positive psychology, had begun. This field focuses on studying the strengths and virtues that enable people and communities to thrive. The researchers are uncovering amazing findings, some of which are the same things our grandmas told us.
