The Secret To Happiness

Love TED talks and how much you can learn in a short amount of time…if you just listen!

Please listen to “The happy secret to better work – Shawn Achor (2011) ” and remember, the principles don’t just apply to work..but apply to getting your happy back in your Empty Nest!  Empty Nest survival is just a  positive action away!
