Ok, I’m enjoying hunting back through this year’s Happyzine archives. Here are four more fantastic articles from 2010. These ones either attracted heaps of comments, or were quite simply favorites of mine …

Happiness is a Choice – By Rose Diamond
“What I discovered was that happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command. It does not depend on outside events but rather on how we interpret them. Happiness, in fact is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us come to being happy.” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in his book, “Flow””
An Eco-fashion Pioneer – By Jo Blundell
“If you’re still not convinced that fashion can be stylish and sustainable, let me tell you about New Zealand’s pioneer in the area of sustainable fashion design… Starfish.
This Wellington based label has always been one of my most coveted. I bought my first Starfish dress seven years ago and it’s still a wardrobe favourite to this very day! Enduring style is a sentiment expressed in their design philosophy “When designing our ranges we consider the lifespan of the clothes beyond what is fashionable at the time so that they will become lasting favourites in your wardrobe” says Starfish founder and head designer, Laurie Foon.”
You know it really does feel good to do justice to all the good work that these writers did this year. I love the subjects, and the angles. Awesome work.
