Bubbles and Being Happy!

Bubbles, little tiny rainbows, floating in the sky. They transform nearly everyone who sees them. Children love them, so do grown-ups. I know because I carry and share bubbles everywhere I go. The surliest senior smiles when a bubble alights on their shoulder. I've seen positive reactions to bubbles in Antigua, Guatemala,(photo), subways of NYC, on streets in Paris, in villages in Belize and, in traffic on I-76 in Philadelphia.

I want to share my Better Living Through Bubble Blowing Philosophy with YOU. I want YOU to Live Your Dreams!

TRANSFORMATION: The process began more than a decade ago with the Bubbles. And by choosing to live in the moment, one day at a time. And then, when I really let go, my life changed completely in 2005 when I decided to live in JOY and create my DREAM LIFE. The book would be titled: "How in 30 Days I Got Divorced, Vacayed By Myself, Met a Man Nearly Half My Age, Got My Groove Back, Left My Fulltime Job to be a Professional Storyteller, Sold My House in Less Than 1 Hour, Founded Literacy Outreach Belize and Volunteered in a Developing Country (and YOU can too)!" More about this in future posts. (In the meantime, you can visit www.storytellerkp.com to learn more about the project!)

A bit about me: I am a Professional Storyteller, energetic, exuberant, positive-minded, a Free Hugger, a Bubble Blower, a dance-until-dawner, couch surfer, literacy outreach volunteer, now New Yorker, lover of life! Pippi Longstocking/Energizer Bunny. For me the glass is not only half-full, it is overflowing!

So, how did Better Living Through Bubble Blowing begin?

I've carried bubbles with me for over a decade, my philosophy is, you never know when there might be a bubble emergency. For example, being stuck in traffic. This can be a high stress event, but not when you have bubbles on hand. It diffuses the tension. Simple really, because when you blow bubbles, you are deep breathing, you are getting enough oxygen. It slows you down, it helps you calm down. And so I began blowing bubbles when stuck in traffic on my commute to Philadelphia where I did cancer research for the University of Pennsylvania.

I leaerned that when blowing bubbles while stuck in traffic, it helped OTHERS calm down, too. People in cars around me rolled down their windows asking if I would please blow bubbles into their cars... and I did! AND WE SMILED! And we were no longer stressed about being stuck in traffic. We changed the energy to positive. All through the simple act of Blowing Bubbles.

And so, after that experience I decided to carry bubbles with me at all times. They make people happy. They make me happy. I carry bubbles with me when I travel too, they serve to breakdown barriers. Everyone understands the language of Bubbles!

They also help us to CONNECT; they are a fantastic Conversation Starter...

Speaking of Connecting and Conversations; I want to share stories about Blowing Bubbles All Over the World. I want to hear YOUR stories and comments and see your photos and videos about Bubble Blowing, or Free Hugs (which I do as often as possible), living in the MOMENT and appreciating the small things, having gratitude and living JOYFULLY. Let's CONNECT with each other.

Hope to hear from you soon! More positive bubble stories, photos and videos on the way...

Happy Tales and Bubbles,
Kristin, aka, Bubble Hug Fairy
