Happy – the Movie

My family and I recently watched HAPPY – the Movie, directed by Roko Belic, director of the Academy Award® nominated “Genghis Blues”.  And the executive director is ‘Tom Shadyac’, of the movie ‘I AM’.

HAPPY is a movie that sets to find out ‘what is happiness’ ? Does money make you HAPPY? Kids and family? Your work? Do you live in a world that values and promotes happiness and well-being? Are we in the midst of a happiness revolution?

Journeying around the world from the bayous of Louisiana to the deserts of Namibia, from the beaches of Brazil to the villages of Okinawa, HAPPY explores the secrets behind our most valued emotion.

One of my favourite quotes in the movie is toward the end, it goes something like this:

‘I consider my life to be a loan from God;
by the time I leave this world I intend to have paid back that loan with interest’.

Here is a trailer to find out more about this movie.  Also, You can download the movie from iTunes, and find out more about this incredible film here.

It begins today ✨ Our 7-Day Equinox Transformation is here—and I am so excited for what is about to awaken within you. Over the next seven days, we’ll journey through the intelligence of your Heart, Earth, Light, Water and the Cosmos… gently attuning your LightBody to the life that is calling you forward. A life where your intuition feels clearer. Synchronicities arrive at just the right moment. And you feel calmer, more abundant and deeply connected to what makes you feel gloriously alive. No striving. No forcing. Just seven beautiful days of remembering the wisdom already living within you. If you’ve been feeling the pull, this is your moment. We begin today 🤍 Comment EQUINOX and I’ll send you the details.

This week, the winds are changing… 🍃✨ Can you feel it too? The Equinox is a sacred threshold. A beautiful moment of balance between darkness and Light. A pause between all that has been and everything waiting to become. Like the breeze moving through my Spring coriander flowers, life is gently stirring something within you. Clearing. Rebalancing. Creating space. You don’t need to force what comes next. Simply soften. Breathe. Listen to your Heart. Let the season carry away what you are no longer meant to hold. And welcome the new energy already finding its way towards you. This is your invitation to return to your centre. To honour how far you have come. And to open yourself to the life that is ready to bloom through you. What are you ready to welcome through this Equinox gateway? 🍃

The Sagittarius Moon always lifts our eyes toward the horizon 🏹✨ So tell me, what idea keeps coming back to you? The trip. The course. The project. The conversation. The version of your life that makes something inside you light up. You don’t have to know exactly how it will happen. You don’t even have to make it happen today. Just stop dismissing the spark. Give it a page in your journal. Ten minutes of research. One message. One little yes. Sometimes a dream simply wants to know that you’re listening. Save this for the possibility that keeps tapping you on the shoulder 💛

Your next chapter might begin with a tiny spark of joy. ✨ That idea you keep returning to. The thing you would love to try. The possibility that makes your Heart whisper.... Oh yes, please 💗 Pay attention to that. Sometimes we wait for the whole picture before giving ourselves permission to begin. Yet our Soul may already be speaking through curiosity, delight, and the simple things that make us feel alive. I love the thought that you can follow that feeling without knowing where it will lead. Write the first few lines. Send the message. Give yourself ten minutes to explore. Then notice what happens within you. Does your breath soften? Do you feel more present, more YOU? Self-trust grows when you listen within and give that wisdom room to move. And transformation can begin with something as simple as making space for joy. What little spark would you love to follow today? 🫶

Scorpio Moon days have a way of drawing us beneath the surface and gently returning us to what is real 🌒 But truth doesn’t always arrive with thunder. Sometimes, it arrives as relief. As a deep exhale. As the soft return of your own energy when you finally stop talking yourself out of what your Heart already knows. Perhaps your truth is beautifully simple today: I love this. I’m ready. I need more space. This matters to me. I want to try. You don’t need to explain it. Just become still enough to hear it. Your truth carries its own light. It dissolves the fog, calls your power home and gently returns you to the sacred rhythm of your Soul. There is something deeply magnetic about being honest with your own Heart. Your energy stops scattering. Your path becomes clearer. And your whole being begins moving in one luminous direction. What truth would feel freeing to admit to yourself today?
