The Museum of Happiness

My husband was playing Geoguessr in Copenhagen (virtually)  two years ago and over his shoulder I spotted a small sign saying ‘The Museum of Happiness’. And so the idea of a book was born.

I began to wonder how such a building could exist when there was so much unhappiness in the world. What kind of optimistic person could run it? Can anyone feel happy these days? Can I?

So I came up with a group of people and placed some heroes of positivity amongst them: a child, a disabled woman and an (almost) angel. As I wrote I was reminded that there is always a choice: no matter what circumstances batter you, there is a way to be happy within them.

This is a lifelong lesson I am still learning. I cry with frustration most days, but my writing keeps lifting me up to hope. I wrote this book with much prayer and, imperfect as it is, I’m offering it to my readers with humility and a request that it is handled with grace.

I wrote believing that happiness is a possible state of being, no matter how painful our situation.

Can you agree?
