WEEK 1
I’m a planner. And, by planner, I mean I have spreadsheets to organize my spreadsheets. It’s my forte. Don’t judge me.
A week ago, I started the iHappy Project. And now, seven days later, iNotHappy because I don’t have a new iPhone (yet), but I do have a plan.
Color me eternal optimist.
The first thing on my agenda was to make my list. So, I sat down and wrote a list of things that make me happy.
My iHappy List
My Commandments
Every day, I try to do as many things on “the list” as possible, using my commandments as my guide. Each time I do something on the list, it invokes a sense of joy, making me an all around happier person. But, you already knew that.
This week, my assignment is to map out my goals and next week, I’ll blog about it. Then, I’ll put it all together. My plan is to break down the elements of my list and my commandments for you so that you can follow along and (hopefully) play along at home or start a project of your very own. (And I will do my utmost to make it entertaining...pinky swear).
Are you starting a iHappy project? Have you finished an iHappy project of your own? I’d love to hear from you! Leave me a comment or a link to your blog.

- Belting out tunes in the car, in the shower…everywhere
- Dancing –but only around my house
- Day dreaming –and writing down what I day dream about
- Creating something: music, art or writing

- Making someone else giggle until they snort
- Going on an adventure…without my GPS
- Trying new food
- Talking trash on Words with Friends
- Taking random photos
- Editing and adding groovy quotes to random photos I take
- Rain --of the torrential downpour variety
My Commandments
- Be Shauna.
- Keep it simple, stupid.
- Say yes more.
- Say no more.
- Live the list.
- Tell someone “I love you,” every day. Mean it.
- Succeed, even in the tiniest of ways.
- Make someone else happy.
