Every day since November 9, 2011, I have posted a social media status describing what Happiness means to me. They range from the silly (Day 216: Happiness is.. popping bubble wrap) to the simple (Day 999: Happiness is.. sitting on a dock at the lake) to the sincere (Day 1560: Happiness is.. the kind of love that gives you more confidence, reassurance, and kindness than you could have ever imagined).Since then, The Smile Project has grown into a certified nonprofit organization and social good movement. SPARK is our flagship program. These youth-led kindness clubs aim to make a difference in their community with simple acts of service. (SPARK stands for "Strengthening Positivity and Reinforcing Kindness)." I have also been fortunate enough to speak and give presentations on behalf of The Smile Project and would love to share the Story of the Smile with your school or organization.
