Can Money Buy You Happiness?
Well, doesn't that depend on what's causing you to be unhappy, in the first place? If you've just lost a loved one, no amount of money will make you happy, only time and your own attitude will eventually
lessen the pain and hopefully bring some joy back into your
life. However, if a stack of unpaid bills is facing you each day, wouldn't enough money to pay them, not make you happy?
If you are someone you love, needs expensive medical care and you can't afford it, would money not be the happy answer? So, before we adopt some of these truisms about money, we should see how they apply to the reality of the situation.
Money is not a "magic bullet", but then in life, what is?
But the effectiveness of money, like most of the things we use and have come to rely on in our world, it is all relative. Being without money doesn't automatically make someone unhappy, but neither does having money guarantee happiness.
Rich people are happy because they don't have to be worried and unhappy about not being able to pay bills, make purchases they want, travel, entertain and so on. But if they became ill and money could not help, they would be just as unhappy and miserable as the poor person who cannot afford the treatment in the first place. Money cannot buy anyone more time, but it can give you more freedom to choose how you use your time. A very happy by-product, choice! "Freedom of choice", if there was ever a magical phrase, that one is it!
That is the happiness that money buys! Lack of money or too little money, limits the choices we can
make in and about our lives. Yvonne invites you to come share her skin care "secrets", for natural, effective skin care, that's easy to buy, use and return (though you wont want to!).

What is Happiness and How to Achieve It?
True happiness is such a rare commodity that the whole of the world is continuously seeking it and failing to find it. All the people, who we consider to be the best in their fields, are seeking it too and failing to acquire it. The most brilliant of the scientists, the most gifted of artists, the most talented of poets and authors, the wealthiest businessmen, the most powerful rulers, the greatest achievers in any field - all of them have been striving for it all their lives and failed to have it. Why is happiness such an elusive thing? Is it that it cannot simply be achieved? Or is it that it is not where all of us have been looking for it?

Ode to Chocolate
Chocolate delays reality. When I am eating chocolate, everything is on hold: anxiety, panic, frustrations, and insecurity. Chocolate offers a profound richness, a sweetness of life, a euphoric sensation of luxury. I love chocolate in many forms, from M&M's, to imported Lindt balls, to dark fudge frosting in a pop-top can, to Hershey's dark chocolate bite-sized morsels.
