International Day of Happiness is based on a fundamental goal of working towards creative and positive ways to look after ourselves and each other as a world-wide, connected community! Your happiness is part of something bigger, the entire world is a better place when we connect with and care about the people around us.
Think about what REALLY makes you happy (your authentic happiness), and make sure to incorporate it into your routine each day. One of the best things about your authentic happiness is that it can be anything (cuddling with a pet, hiking, snowmobiling, being creative, volunteering, cooking, hunting, playing video games, walking with a friend, playing a sport, singing, making TikTok videos, laughing, exercising, treating yourself to some chocolate, writing down things you are grateful for, meditating, setting goals for the future, gardening, mastering a new skill, etc., etc., etc.).

After Juniper loses her sister Camilla in a car crash, her index becomes her lifeline, but when a card goes missing the index launches Juni into a mysterious scavenger hunt she never would have imagined.
