The other night I went to check out a reading by Beliefnet’s amazingly talented blogger Victoria Moran. She read from her new book, Living a Charmed Life, a really lovely, uplifting, practical guide to being happier. Here’s a video clip of the event, with Victoria talking about nurturing your “inner epicure”–the part of you who needs simple, small luxuries. And how if we ignore her, you’ll eventually “go out and charge something.” It’s not about buying a dozen roses for yourself (though that’s always nice), but not forgetting that a bunch of $5 daisies can also do the life-beautifying trick.
