Welcome to #TLAP, everyone! I'm excited to be hosting tonight. Let's have some fun talking about happiness tonight! Please introduce yourself and share something you're feeling grateful for! #TeachHappy

Hi! I'm Dave joining from Vancouver, WA. I'm super grateful to get to work with such amazing authors like Kim Strobel!! Forever grateful that brilliant people trust us with their projects!! #tlap

Q1: What makes you feel happy outside of school? #TLAP #TeachHappy

A1: Rescuing dogs, traveling and speaking, and spending time with my husband, our son, and our dogs make me the happiest.

Q2: What's the most stressful part of your job? #TLAP #TeachHappy

A2: When I worked in schools, the most stressful thing for me was trying to reach and teach the "challenging kids." I wanted so badly to help them and had no idea how to reach them through their trauma. Now, it's the time spent behind my desk. My projects feel like homework.🤣

What would you rate your current happiness level? #TLAP #TeachHappy

Having Dave Burgess endorse my book meant the world to me! #TeachHappy #tlap

A3: Current happiness level is a 10. My average before adopting and beginning to live out the happiness habits was about a 6.

A3: Current happiness level is an 8.5 ish if I was thinking of my overall happiness. My average before adopting and beginning to live out the happiness habits was about a 6. #TeachHappy #tlap

Q4: Do you believe you control your happiness? Why or why not? #TLAP #TeachHappy

A4: Yes, I do believe you can control your own happiness because the research proves it!
