People were forever asking me how I got to be so darned happy. So I started speaking
to school groups and blogging about choosing to view life more optimistically.
Smile. Be happy!

What a wild and crazy month it has been since A Smiley Book of Colors came out! I’ve put up a show, taken down a show, put up another. I’ve done book signings, spoken at schools (Left: A Smiley made by Smiley 2nd graders after I spoke to their class.) and traveled to N.Y.C.and L.A.. It’s been […]
You want to be happy? Act happy. You want a life filled with silly? Act silly. You want days filled with music, good food and good friends? Then crank up the music, get busy in the kitchen and text an invitation to your buds! The same is true for if you want a life full […]
Remember the Dr. Pepper song: I’m a pepper, he’s a pepper, she’s a pepper, we’re a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too? That song can easily be changed to reflect this week’s topic of creativity: I’m creative, he’s creative, she’s creative, we’re creative, wouldn’t you like to be creative too? We are […]

How do you ignite it? By doing! Everyone can ignite creativity. You can choose to be a creative person; it’s not an attribute […]
The Smiley Brothers, Ray and Zin. Smile and the world smiles back! Is it possible to be wide-eyed, naïve and full of wonder for your whole life. Can someone who’s been on the planet for several decades still travel through her days unjaded. I’m not sure. But, I do know that I hope the answer […]

“This book, by Ruth Kaiser, is so cute and ingenious. It’s about how it’s your decision what your attitude is like, but it’s written so simply that kids could definitely understand it.” http://jenpeterson.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/the-smiley-book-of-colors/
?How better for the preschooler or early elementary child to learn colors than with a whole bunch of smiles for assistance. Just take any person, site, or object that has two spaced circles and a stretched loop beneath, and the viewer automatically sees it as a smile.” http://citybookreview.com/2012/03/the-smiley-book-of-colors/
