North Hollywood is about to get Sprinkled with Happiness!

Happiness Sprinkling Project is coming to North Hollywood, CA

North Hollywood, California November 13, 2014– On Thursday, 5-7pm), at Intersection of Burbank and Lankershim Blvds, a group of smiling people wearing bright yellow shirts will be Sprinkling Happiness.

Created by Laura Lavigne, founder of the Anacortes Center for Happiness, The
Happiness Sprinkling Project is “crazy simple and crazy powerful.”

A group of people get together, wearing bright yellow shirts. They gather at a
busy spot in the town where they live. They hold up signs. Happiness signs.
Signs that say things like, It’s Going to be All Right and Breathe and You are
Loved. They do this for an hour and as they do, magic happens. People being
‘sprinkled’ on their way home from work are surprised, puzzled – and moved.
They smile, they wave, they honk. Many join in and start Sprinkling themselves.
The messages are surprising because “they ask nothing of the viewer” but
instead send an expected burst of light, helping people tap into their own hope,
strength and joy.

Krystal Rains participated with friend in a Long Beach Happiness Sprinkling in March 2014. She started planning for a San Fernando Valley event in the Fall. It is a birthday gift to herself and she is looking forward to sharing the event with friends and those she has never met. The photo is from the Long Beach Happiness Sprinkling.

The Sprinklings started in May 2012 and have been spreading like well...
happiness, and have been received with a mix of surprise, delight and
occasionally tears of emotion.

“This is the most amazing project I have ever been a part of.”
“The event was the happiest, most heart-centered day of my life thus far”
“24 hours later and I’m still smiling! Slept like that. My face may be stuck.”
“Happiness Sprinkling is more than an event…its a lifestyle.”
“I don’t know when I have had more fun…”

In the past few months, Happiness Ambassadors have popped up in Washington
DC, in Chicago, California, Oregon, Seattle, Canada, Los Angeles, Florida,
Indiana, and Canada. Together they are gradually building a “Happiness
Sprinkling Tribe” whose vision is to expand into inner cities and eventually all
over the world, and have recently received requests from India, Italy, Germany
and the Caribbean.

This growing movement is building a web of Happiness Ambassadors and
Happiness Sprinklers and changing the world one gathering at a time. One of
the powerful aspects of this event is that the sets of Signs get shipped from one
Ambassador to the next, thus forming a global “Happiness chain letter,”
adopting a very simple Pay It Forward concept.

The Happiness Sprinkling Project has been featured on the GoodNews Network,
DailyGood.org, NBC, CBS News, The Huffington Post, Ellen DeGeneres’ blog, as
well as the TEDx platform.

Anyone is invited join in and participate in this powerful and FUN event!
