I am excited to announce that I am seeking true stories from contributors of any age and all walks of life for my forthcoming book, an anthology entitled Happiness Loves Company -- a book about our connections with others in everyday life.  My vision is that these stories will be uplifting, easy to read, and short and sweet -- a story to fit almost any situation someone could be in.

Did you know that happiness loves company -- happy people attract like-minded people?  And, new research shows that happiness is contagious.  It spreads and grows when shared with others creating a powerful ripple effect.  Our own happiness becomes a gift to everyone we meet.  When happy people gather, the level of happiness increases.  Happiness simply cannot be contained.

How did you tune in to happiness? How was your happiness like a magnet, drawing even more happiness to you. What comes to mind when you hear "happiness loves company"?  If you have a personal story, or perhaps a story about someone close to you, that you believe would inspire others, I would love the opportunity to chat with you. Please give me call at 619.823.4260 or e-mail me at gale@happinesslovescompany.com at your earliest convenience. 

Stories may be e-mailed to gale@happinesslovescompany.com or mailed to Gale Ashleigh, Happiness Loves Company Inc., 1106 Second Street, #291, Encinitas, CA 92024.  Please include your first and last names, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address if you have one, and a brief sentence giving me permission to use your story in my book.  Deadline for submission is March 15, 2012.

If your story is used in my book, you will receive a complimentary signed copy of the book when it is published along with a Happiness Loves Company tote bag.

In joy and gratitude,

Gale Ashleigh
