I’m ready for August in one way … I’m happy to say that I’m a Happiness Happens Month Ambassador! More specifically, I’m a Secret Society of Happy People Happiness Happens Month Ambassador! You can be one, too! 🙂

Secret Society of Happy People Creed

Secret Society of Happy People Creed

The Secret Society of Happy People was started by Pamela Gail Johnson in 1998.

The goals were to:

  • Recognize your happy moments with the same enthusiasm as you recognize your unhappy moments.
  • Encourage others to talk about their happy moments too.
  • Don’t unnecessarily rain on other people’s parades.

31 Types of Happiness Happicon - Blessed

Here’s my Happicon for the month because I feel truly blessed with my family and my life.

  • Recognize your happy moments with the same enthusiasm as you recognize your unhappy moments.
  • Encourage others to talk about their happy moments too.
  • Don’t unnecessarily rain on other people’s parades.

Happiness Happens Day and Happiness Happens Month

The Secret Society of Happy People started Happiness Happens Month on August 8, 1999, to “get more people talking about happiness.” The following year, Happiness Happens Day was expanded to Happiness Happens Month throughout August.

It’s easy to become a Happiness Happens Month Ambassador(and I’d love it if you’d join me as a Happiness Happens Month Ambassador)! Among other resources, you’ll get messages and graphics you can share through your social media networks. You could make Happiness Happens Month a fun family project in August … find ways to spread the happiness!
