Hello and greetings and welcome to another edition of the Live Happy Now podcast.

I'm your host, J.R. Houston, alongside Deborah High. She'll be joining us here in just a bit as we get ready to take a look at another new issue of Live Happy magazine.

Very proud to have them as a partner, the new issue going to be hitting newsstands and your digital edition in the Apple, iTunes store, and the Google Play Store.

And also got to thank our partner, LifeReimagined, their website, lifereimagined.org slash happy.

They've got all kinds of things for you to try out.

And they say, as you awaken to the power of happiness, so do your dreams.

So what's next?

Well, find out more by going to lifereimagined.org slash happy.

New issue time, always an exciting time around the office as Deborah Heights joins us here.

And this issue, we say it every time, but this one

could be the best one yet. All kinds of good stuff coming at us this summer talking about

flourishing and, uh, celebrities making big appearances here with us. But first, before we get

to that, another exciting time around the office, International Day of Happiness.

How cool is that? That was a good time this year. It's always a great time. This year, you know, the weather held for us in many places, and a few places people were hosting walls and just got drenched. But they had an awesome time, particularly in Florida, where our founder, Jeff Olson was. They absolutely got hammered with a thunderstorm in the middle of it. They didn't care.

You can't not have fun. It's internationally of happiness. But, you know, it's always a great time. You know, it gives people out, the opportunity to go out and share happiness and why they're happy. And for those of you listeners who don't know or who missed it, we did a thing called March to Happiness, where we texted to your phone an idea for a happy act for every day, whether it's, you know,

buy a coworker coffee or, you know, say thank you to your mother, whatever it was.

We had a series of 30 of those.

And then we also put up these large orange walls in very public places around the country and actually around the world where we just ask people to share happiness.

Tell us how they're going to make the world a happier place.

And it's engaging.

People are a little bit taken aback.

They think you're trying to sell them something.
