It’s All About Happiness!

Happiness Club Free Monthly Meeting, held the first Thursday of the month
Note: we are meeting in person and via Zoom but, unfortunately dinner is not available.
Please join me in welcoming Shelia Gavish on:
Life rarely follows a straight path. In fact, many of our most meaningful chapters begin with an unexpected change. Inspired by the insights in Life Is in the Transitions by Bruce Feiler, this engaging presentation explores how the turning points in our lives—whether chosen or unexpected—can open the door to growth, renewal, and new possibilities.
Bruce Feiler reminds us that it is often not the change itself that breaks us, but our resistance to it. In this uplifting talk, we’ll look at how embracing life’s transitions can lead to transformation. We’ll discuss practical ways to navigate major life shifts, including moving or downsizing, and how to recognize and reduce Relocation Stress Syndrome (RSS)—a common but often overlooked challenge during later-life moves.
We’ll also explore the many positive aspects of life in a senior community: connection, freedom from home maintenance, opportunities for friendship, and the chance to focus on what truly matters.
If you or a loved one are facing a change—or simply thinking about the future—this presentation offers reassurance, insight, and a hopeful perspective on the next chapter.
Because sometimes the twists and turns in life lead us exactly where we’re meant to go.

The time has come to spread happiness in Hartford CT! I recently graduated with certification in Positive Psychology from the Wholebeing Institute taught by Tal Ben Shahar. I am excited to share and continue to grow as a lifelong learner giving my life meaning and purpose. My studies include a Masters of Arts in Experiential Health and Healing from the Graduate Institute in 2008. Dr. Bernie Siegel was my mentor who put me on a path to learn, grow and share. Bernie taught me how to take life and all it is complexities and make it simple. Through Bernie, I met founder of the Happiness Club Lionel Ketchian at a workshop.
It was at this point where I was introduced to The Happiness Clubs. I never looked back. Lionel was put on this earth to plant seeds of happiness around the world. I am humbled to have Lionel in my life and be part of something larger than life.
