About Sallyann Keizer

Hello! I’m Sally, Head of Happyness, as the team calls me. Silly title, I know, but it makes everyone giggle including me, so we’ve stuck with it. I’m the founder of the Happynesshub and I am passionate about our work. I’ve spent years reading about happiness and emotional wellbeing, putting the research into practice, and trying to navigate the ups and downs of life’s rollercoaster ride. My dream is to share the work and the love, for each of of us to fulfil our individual potential, and to ultimately make the world a happier place.

This week’s newsletter contains a few musings on gift-giving. And my quote of the past 7 days from a friend: ‘One step at a time, one heart at a time.’ Flic has a little anecdote about a recent gift exchange with a friend. The other day, I met a friend for a walk [...]

This week we have a contribution from the lovely Issy, who so kindly has reflected on her experiences doing the Duke of Edinburgh’s ‘D of E’ scheme, which has enriched the lives of countless young people since Prince Philip set it up in 1956. I had a strange complex when I was younger [...]

The work I do on the Bow-Wowza side of things and children’s TV production has taught me just how important relationships are, not just for children, but for everyone.

Weekly Words 6th March

In 2019, I wrote a blog on ‘Time Is…’, reflecting on, well, what time is; in my case, often scarce! I read back on the words I wrote, musing over my long to-do list and the feeling of constantly playing catch up, and realise, with neither great amusement nor great dismay, that the [...]
