We began as a group inspired by Gretchen Rubin's book, website and blog, THE HAPPINESS PROJECT.

However, the Happiness Project Book seems to be a second step, many of us need to define what we would like to work on Martha Beck’s book “FINDING YOUR OWN NORTH STAR - claiming the life you were meant to live”, addresses this. We have regrouped and tweaked our plan a bit and will be adding in Beck’s book. We have finished that book and are now moving onto "The Way of the Happy Woman - Living the Best Year of Your Life" by Sara Avant Stover.

From Sara's website - "Your true nature is joy, not stress. But the pace of your life can make it hard for you to remember that. What does it take to be truly happy in today’s world? How can you tap into your own inner teacher–your intuition–no matter what you’re facing in life? This essential handbook for the modern woman holds your hand and shows you how, step-by-step. The culmination of the past 10 years of my life and work, The Way of the Happy Woman is part memoir, part yoga and meditation guide, part cookbook, part journal, and part sage girlfriend"

 
The group is for people who want to create or design a life that meets their needs, dreams and wants. Becoming an active participant in their life rather than passive.  It might just mean adding or subtracting something small or a radical overhaul, it will be different for each person based on their situation and desires. 

Being ready to create a project is not mandatory, but being interested is probably helpful. Some will have already started and others are just starting to think about it. As a group we will share ideas, encourage each other, and hold each other accountable for our resolutions. Basically, it is a cross between a book club and goals support group.
