Hey there, I'm Annanie
The heart and soul of The Happiness Brigade!
Let me take you on a journey through our life, filled with adventure, love, and the pursuit of happiness. It all started with a dream, a vision to spread joy and positivity. I've always been fascinated by what makes people happy, and with a passion for well-being, I knew I could make a difference. But I wasn't alone in this journey; I had Matt by my side, my partner in every sense of the word. He's not just my spouse but our IT wizard, the one who keeps our digital nomad lifestyle running smoothly. Our family is the core of our happiness.
We have five incredible children and seven beautiful grandchildren, with another on the way. Each one of them brings joy, laughter, and a unique perspective to our lives. They've been with us through every chapter of our story, from the apiary in Canada to the open seas.
For over a decade, we owned an apiary in Canada. The bees taught us about the beauty of nature, the importance of hard work, and the sweetness of life. But one day, we decided to take a leap of faith. We sold our house, all our possessions, and bought a sailboat in Vancouver, BC. The Pacific Northwest became our playground, where we embraced the freedom of the sea, the beauty of the landscapes, and the thrill of the unknown.
Sailing was more than just an adventure; it was a lesson in living in the moment. We learned to appreciate the simple joys, like the sun setting over the ocean or the sound of the waves against the hull. But after a couple of years, we felt the call for a new chapter.
That's when we became digital nomads. We sold our sailboat and embarked on a journey around the world, staying in each country for three months at a time. This lifestyle allowed us to immerse ourselves in diverse cultures, bask in the sun on beautiful beaches, and let our creativity flourish from these incredible experiences. Each new place we visit adds to our understanding of happiness, teaching us that it's not just about where you are but how you live.
The Happiness Brigade is our way of sharing this journey with you. It's a community where we can all grow together in happiness. Whether you're looking for inspiration, a sense of community, or just a place to feel uplifted, you've found your home with us. Let's make happiness a choice, a lifestyle, and a shared journey.
So, come along with us, share your stories, and let's explore the world together. After all, happiness is not a destination; it's the journey we take together.
