Simple. Right? Just do it. Whatever makes you happy. But then, maybe it’s not as easy as it sounds. Sometimes the thing that makes you happy is something you have to struggle for, fight for, work hard towards. Maybe what makes you happy is attached to something that feels outside your control. Perhaps what you think will make you happy isn’t really the thing at all, but in the pursuit of one thing you’ll find another, better thing. Take me for example. I love my work as a TV Correspondent. Talking about fashion and style in front of rolling cameras makes me happy. But I don’t get to do it all that often. Alas, such is the nature of the beast. So, I created this blog so that I could work when not working. And as it turns out, it makes me very happy. The moral of my brief tale? Keep striving toward your goal, but be open to the joyful things you find along the way. You just might decide to stay a while, or to change course altogether. And what a happy accident that would be.

With love,

Amanda
