Happiness is the New Flat Abs

As a magazine editor who writes cover lines to appeal to the most number of readers, I am here to tell you that happiness has replaced "flat abs" as the number one goal, the holy grail everyone is seeking. To me, this makes perfect sense, since you can have a flat stomach, at your goal weight, have a great hair day, and any attribute you care about, but if you're not happy, it's all for nothing. I have worked hard on my happiness, and I want to share what I’ve learned.

With the help and expert guidance of Catherine Birndorf, MD, a women’s mental health expert, this blog will reveal what women are striving for, happiness, calm, gratitude or simply an absence of unhappiness. I will share (but hopefully not over-share) events in my life to help others find more joy and appreciate the "perfect moments" when they arrive. Join in, comment, and we will circle into each room and discuss issues most critical to you. Here, I begin, and toss it over to Catherine (Dr. Birndorf to you!) and see if her strategies resonate and help you solve your problems. Tell us what worked for you and what didn’t. And yes it is work, just like being your fittest or healthiest self. Of course the only person in charge of making your feel bad or good, unhappy or happy, is you, but we are here to help!

Be in touch. I am!

I just started to tweet. After resisting it for a long time I love it. Short and sweet. And I even have followers. This is going to be fun. So if you don't have time to check out this blog, follow me on Twitter. I will try to keep it fun, not boring. I am now blogging here, on Self.com and on Yahoo health. Those topics will be more universal and hopefully help you live a healthier lifestyle. On Twitter, it's going to be "of the moment" and I hope you find it informative and even a little entertaining. Enjoy!
