We asked some of the happiest folks we know to tell us their secret.
Ephraim Adams: Creator
I believe creating whatever is on my mind makes me happy. Being able to bring certain scenarios and visions to life. Sharing it with family and friends & just seeing other people enjoy my work. Having that freedom to just make whatever I like and not worry about other peoples opinion. Read more>>
Alona Williams: Writer/Performer/Liberation Conspirator
One of the most basic things in life that make me happy is synchronicities. I really enjoy witnessing the “flow” of life whether if its through nature or watching other people. Poetry makes me happy, and I think that’s what I’m describing with this “flow” thing. But written poetry makes me happy.I love when the Universe shows me that I am right. Any representation of ease and relaxation makes me happy. I also love dancing and good food. I’m big on engaging the senses which can be a downfall when you are naturally sensitive sometimes, but I love when I am able to quiet my mind enough to be present. On the contrary, I also really love thoughtfulness. That makes me kind of giddy. Read more>>

I’m happiest when I’m being innovative and free in my craft. I enjoy expressing my creativity by brainstorming new looks and learning new skills and techniques. Even though I am inspired by many designers, my goal is to create something new and fresh. So when I work with clients that give me creative freedom, I can really showcase my potential. Read more>>

What makes me happy is knowing that I have the ability to be a blessing to others.

My most memorable happy moments are the moments when I’ve been a part of making someone else’s day. Read more>>

Brittany J. Kirby: Self Taught Artist, Painter & Aspiring Illustrator
I would say nature makes me the happiest being from Tennessee I’ve always been surrounded by it. When I was a kid I was an avid rock collector and still am I just upgraded to crystals lol. Nature always feels familiar & is a great way to uplift my mood when I’m feeling down. It’s something about the warmth of the sun on my skin and looking up to see the clear blue sky just makes me feel worry free. Read more>>
Trévion (Tré) Harris: Dancer/ Musical & Creative Artist
What makes me truly happy is living in my total truth. I LOVE the fact that I am unapologetically living my best and authentic life. once I realized I needed to live in my truth it opened a whole new world and outlook that I still live by today. you can’t go through life pretending to be something that you’re not to please society because you’ll never truly be happy. I am a firm believer that once you open the doors to true self-worth a self-recognition the possibilities to true happiness are endless!. Read more>>
