March 19-20'24: SPRING Equinox & World Happiness Day

 A new spring has arrived and it paints everything in a fresh coat of extraordinary colors...I truly hope your soul will bask in the glory of nature's abundance!
Warm greetings to all for a beautiful season! 
On March 20, 2024, the entire world is also observing the International Day of Happiness.
According to UN, “we can create a happier and kinder world together by adopting simple, daily practices. This year’s theme is: ‘Happier together’.
“...Steps to Global Happiness. And by working to promote and advance:
- Happiness as a fundamental human right and goal for all
- Happiness as a universal aspiration in the lives of all
- Happiness as a way of living, being, and serving communities and society
- Happiness as a north star for individuals, communities, governments, and society
- Happiness path toward achieving the sustainable development goals
- Happiness as a “new paradigm’ for human development
- Worldwide celebration of the international day of happiness that is democratic, diverse, organic, and inclusive.” (Source: happinessday.org)

Alice’s Book Club – WINTER session of 2024

“READING:
Some people call it a hobby;
I call it a passion!”

As the current winter is slowly coming to an end, on Friday (March 15’24) I was glad to organize my first book club of the year (the winter session of 2024), this time selecting together the book we will discuss as a group, as well as a brief brainstorming regarding other educational subjects, which we might like to touch on during our future gatherings.
Lovely meeting, lovely ladies, lovely vibes….awesome books were proposed and fantastic topics were added to our agenda….stay close to us to learn more about our reading “adventures”, as well as our themes of interest…indeed, there is a lot to be grateful for!
As usual, my most sincere appreciation for those kind & dear friends who honored my invitation!
Until we meet again, my best regards to all for a beautiful spring to come!
