Gross National Happiness

The first place that I would like to travel to is the country of Bhutan.  Bhutan is a country that is located in the Eastern Himalayas, and I believe that it would be the perfect place for me to start my journey bringing me more peace and inspiration in their beautiful country.  The true purpose of the trip however, would be for me to study their Gross National Happiness (GNH), a term which was coined by a former King of Bhutan.  The GNH looks at the well being and happiness of the citizens of the country and, in general, came about when the King decided to build an economy that was not just based on economic growth, but would grow in unison with spiritual development.  Bhutan is the only country in the world to measure its wellbeing by Gross National Happiness vs Gross National Product, and the country has ten ministries that are working together toward this goal.

Bhutan does so many things right that it may take several blogs to tell you what I think that I know about them, and then again after, or during my journey to tell you what I know for sure.

Making a Difference – One Person Can!

 

 

TOMS Shoes was created by Blake Mycoskie.  One man who wanted to make a difference!  He created a company with the sole purpose of putting shoes on the feet of children in need, and he succeeded!

TOMS stands for shoes for tomorrow.  On my quest, my goal is to learn and bring to you information so that all of us will have a better tomorrow.  I am not sure how I am going to do this yet… but I just keep taking one step forward, knowing that some how it is all going to come together.  In the spirit of Blake and TOMS, I will need to figure out a way to give back with more than just my word, but for now that is a start.    In fact, we all can make a difference starting today with just a kind word, a helping hand, or maybe with the purchase of a pair of shoes from TOMS! 

Thanks for inspiring us Blake!  Cheers to you!  http://www.tomsshoes.com/

Goldilocks Changing Your Life Plan

Blogger, Writer, Traveler, Inspiring hope, and living in Peace and Love with family and friends. That is the life that I see for myself!  That is the life that I am creating!  So I am declaring that one year from now I will be gathering my last minute essentials and heading off on a journey of discovery.  I will be traveling to all of the happiest places in the world and seeing, discovering, and reporting on what I have found and learned.  I need a year to close the book on my former life. To tie up loose ends, make my plans, and to make sure that the people that I care about most are settled, secure, and are happily off on to their life journey.  I also feel compelled to write a book about what brought me to this point, and I hope to have that book completed before the year is up!
That all being said… I have no idea how I am going to pull this off!  I just know that I am going to do it!   I also feel that making this happen, from where I am right now in my life, and from what I learn and report on my travels… will bring hope and happiness to many!
Just a thought!
