It is said that when the student is ready, the teacher appears. We are all students, and life always has another lesson to teach us.

I am so proud to have Robert Holden in our Hay House family. He’s so adorable, too. This picture is one of my favorites. It was taken at one of the I Can Do It! Conferences when I was having fun touching up Robert’s makeup before going onstage!

When Robert wrote his wonderful book, Be Happy, he asked if I would write the foreword. I said, “Sure.” I expected to fly through the book and write something quickly. Little did I know that I would become so immersed in the Happiness Course that it took me several days to read the book and do the exercises.

It was an eye-opening experience as I was encouraged to go deeply into myself to discover and begin to release the unnoticed pockets of resistance I had to being happy (truly happy).

I thought I was a happy person and I was. Now after completing the course, I am happier on a deeper, quieter level. I also notice that I am happiest when I am being grateful. Thank you, Robert. This student was definitely ready for you, my latest teacher.
