Compiling this work has been an intrinsic life process! It is filled with a love for learning, decades of teaching, and living in the moment with a framework for the future while reflecting on the gems of our past. Being human has changed rapidly in this digital age—unfortunately compromising and unbalancing the foundations of what life should be! There is a huge difference between a house and a home. Creating a home environment is a sensory-rich holistic experience that impacts on the well-being of all the family—a life purpose to share and make a positive contribution to help plant the seeds of contentment and peace in homes. Parents have the responsibility to be the best they can be. As Plato advised, “Know thyself.” It is the greatest journey, but to create and grow thyself in this demanding digital age is a duty, not an option! It is a journey that starts within, built on self-awareness, gratitude, and contentment. This book has eight fun and inspiring steps that include space to journal and record your personal journey. Choose happiness. It is free!

Happy Within by Jannelle C. Hanni Happy Within: Happy Starts on the Inside combines faith and real-life experiences and focuses on finding happiness within yourself. Through her own process of trial and error, author Jannelle C. Hanni demonstrates that the quality of our relationships with others is directly related to how we feel about ourselves and we only need to be concerned with the way we are because we cannot change other people—or many situations we find ourselves in. There is so much to be joyful about if we choose to focus on the positives rather than the negatives; when we love ourselves unconditionally, we are more lovable, and it works like a chain reaction in the world as we engage with others. Being happy starts on the inside!
