#regram @happylittlebiz What are you happy about this Friday? What have you accomplished through the week that you can give yourself a high five 🖐 for completing? This week Susan has hosted a friend who’s company had all employees work from home. She has been educating her communities on the use of video conferencing technology to help contain the Coronavirus and provisioned her home for a long 🏡 home stay. She opted out of a weekend away with girlfriends. Today, we can all do good simply by choosing to lay low and stay home. #dogoodgeelgood #celebratewins #friyay #fridaybrag #happinesshabits https://www.instagram.com/p/B9sX6c-gAdz/?igshid=4yksxwm6q5r

#regram @daveramsey What an awesome “Friday Brag” 😳 for @canagrace ! Celebrating “wins” is a great happiness practice and this couples accomplishment of being debt free is certainly worth bragging about. To quote the post “so stoked to be able to save and be able to give more generously now”. The topic of wanting to give more, if only one had more to give has come up a lot over the many conversations Susan’s had with individuals about giving back. Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University is one way to gain mastery over one’s cashflow. #thanksdave #celebratewins #fridaybrag #happinesspractice #debtfree #financialpeaceuniversity https://www.instagram.com/p/B9IVGBeH68F/?igshid=14vni5ftgttxt

For Friday, we make a practice of celebrating our wins over the previous week. What small or big things have you accomplished. For some it can be simply making it through the week showing up for life. For Susan, her week was simply that. She spent a time volunteering to lead bible study, recorded video, serve espresso drinks for her local craft faire, provisioned supplies for the local volunteer coffee house she leads and thanked the volunteers with a small thank you gift of little succulents for all their help. Celebrating wins is a way to cultivate happiness. What small wins have you had this week? #volunteer #thankyougifts #smallwins #celebratewins #fridaybrag #happinesshabits (at Bonny Doon, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B45Zt69g0Eo/?igshid=1cpscivxue880

Today, it has been a year since the Camp Fire 🔥 leveled the town of Paradise where Susan was born. Over 22 of Susan’s family members lost all they owned in the fire. Some things are irreplaceable, like the quilts their Grandmother made each of them. This week Susan was able to complete with the help of friends the second of quilts for her family as a small compensation for their loss. Her cousin posted a full account of her experiences the day of the fire with the hope that the what happened won’t be forgotten. Quilts have long been signed as means for women who were often left out of history to be remembered. This vintage devotional entitled “Forget-me-nots from the Bible” was Susan’s Grandmother’s given to her by Vera fof the Paradise Church ⛪️ of the Brethren that burned down. Tomorrow, Susan making her Grandmother’s special cinnamon roll recipe using Fern’s Bread as a base to share at the Bonny Doon Holiday Craft Faire in memory of her family in Paradise. #fridaybrag #resilience #cinnamonrolls #campfire #devotional #vintagelivingmoderntimes #quiltsofinstagram #paradisestrong (at Paradise, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4nGvvXADLN/?igshid=1wzrejhwphhq0

For Friday Brag, we celebrate the General Magic documentary making the Top 10 on iTunes. Celebrating wins both big and small is a habit that cultivates happiness. Susan isn’t personally in the movie 🎥 but many of the people she directly worked with, while she was there are in the movie. Susan lead the Magic Banking team building the first mobile home banking application for Visa Interactive. Ironically, Susan happens to be visiting the island 🌴 of Kona this week. The last time Susan visited the island, she was had been working for General Magic. Working for General Magic was a transformative time in her career where she was able to combine her user interface design skills, management and engineering experience. It is with this experience that Susan continues to envision how technology can be used as an instrument for good. #itunes #fridaybrag #celebratewins #celebrateyourwins #generalmagic #generalmagicmovie #mobilebankingapp #mobilebanking #dogoodfeelgood (at Kailua-Kona, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NBVFDggxb/?igshid=1uerx6y2x0tud
