Choose Happiness - Paperback

Cole, Rachel: - Rachel Cole is an award-winning singer/songwriter, recording artist and performer. Additional professional endeavors have included teacher, events planner, workshop leader, librarian, and for a short time in high school, retail sales associate. Along with spearheading the Choose Happiness project, Rachel owns and runs a gift business and is the founder of a non-profit organization that provides wedding dresses and formalwear to women and girls in need. Rachel also wears the titles of mom (her #1 favorite job), wife, sister, daughter, aunt, niece, and friend, all of which she takes very seriously and honorifically. The Choose Happiness project came about when Rachel became an empty nester and her daily mom duties were majorly reduced. She was looking for a new way to fulfill her lifelong goal of making a positive difference in the world around her, and through a series of events (including a chance encounter at the post office) the idea of providing weekly videos and blogs to promote the concept that happiness is a choice was born. The content is based on experiences from her own life, combined with interviews from people from around the world who make happiness a priority in their lives. Rachel believes very strongly that we can all make the choice to see the good over the bad, to choose hope over despair, and to seek peace in spite of pain. Life is short and it's up to us to choose happiness purposefully and intentionally, and to do so as often as we can. www.choose-happiness.net.
