Community Challenge: Create Every Day Acts of Happiness

At our last #OMHG chat we talked about how we apply our ethics to our lives and businesses. The one thing that came out loud and clear is that we all believe in spreading love and sweetness to help create a kinder world. After our chat I read this beautiful post by Colleen Attara on The Petit Cadeau blog about spreading hope notes, then just yesterday Gabrielle of The Green Gables told me about the first International Happiness Day tomorrow. My brain had a little sparkle explosion and I just had to make these happiness cards to share with you all. Every day ethics don’t have to be dry or intellectual-they can be fun too!

Then my brain had another little happy dance-why don’t we ALL design happy cards and share them on our blogs this month to celebrate our ethics theme and make every day a happy day. I love the idea of having a pocket full of cards designed by our community to leave in unexpected places to brighten up someone’s day! Here are 3 ways to play along with us:

COMMUNITY CHALLENGE

1. Download a blank .ai template by clicking below below to make your own happy cards then share the link to your post + printable in the comments. I will round them all up throughout the month and spread the word as they are added so this post is a resource of happy

2. Show us pictures of happy cards in action by sharing where you leave them on Instagram & Twitter with the hashtag #omhg

3. Join us this Thursday from 1-2pm EST for an #omhg chat about creating acts of happiness & to brainstorm ideas for spreading the sparkle + future community challenges!

We might not always feel happy but I think we can choose to act happy and pass it along-this is the very best kind of ethics there is. Thank you Colleen, Alison, and Gabrielle for the reminder! The girls and I will be heading into the snow to spread these cards around town tomorrow to celebrate #happyday and I hope you will join us!
