Our Journey to Creating ‘Happy Talks, Thoughts Plus More’
The idea for Happy Talks, Thoughts Plus More was born during one of the most challenging yet transformative periods of our lives. I was pregnant and gave birth during the height of the pandemic, when the world felt uncertain and connections seemed more precious than ever.
Finding Connection in Isolation
Like many new parents during this time, socialization was severely limited due to health protocols. The usual support systems – family visits, mom groups, casual encounters at the park – were suddenly restricted or completely unavailable. Fortunately, we had what we now call “social salvation” through online communities and digital connections.
As a new mom navigating uncharted waters, I found myself joining different parenting groups and immersing myself in countless articles about motherhood, childcare, and everything in between. The internet became my lifeline to the outside world and my guide through the beautiful chaos of new parenthood.
The Inspiration Behind Our Mission
During those late-night feeding sessions and quiet moments of reflection, I encountered countless stories that moved me deeply. Some inspired me with tales of resilience and joy, while others left me feeling overwhelmed with their focus on struggles and challenges. I witnessed firsthand how both negative and positive content could shape my mood and perspective as a vulnerable new parent.
It was during this emotional roller coaster that I realized something profound: I wanted to contribute to the conversation, but with a deliberate focus on spreading positivity. The idea began to take shape – what if we could create our own platform that intentionally chose to highlight the good while acknowledging life’s complexities?
From Idea to Reality
The website started as an extension of our own journey and experiences. Our goal was simple yet powerful: to spread positivity in a world that often feels overwhelmed by negativity. We’ve all heard the saying that fire burns fast, but we’ve observed that negative news and stories seem to spread even faster than positive ones. We wanted to be part of changing that narrative.
This project became a beautiful collaboration between my husband and me, each bringing our unique strengths to the table. He handles the visual creativity, using AI tools like Lens Go AI to create engaging graphics that capture the essence of our message. His technical expertise shines through in the website building and all the behind-the-scenes functionality that makes our platform work seamlessly.
Meanwhile, I focus on what I’m most passionate about – creating content that resonates with parents, families, and anyone seeking a more positive perspective on life’s journey. Every article, every story, and every piece of content is crafted with the intention of uplifting our readers and providing them with the kind of support I wished I had more of during those early parenting days.
Our Continuing Mission
Happy Talks, Thoughts Plus More represents more than just a website – it’s our commitment to fostering a community where positivity isn’t just encouraged, it’s celebrated. We believe that by sharing uplifting stories, practical advice, and genuine encouragement, we can make a small but meaningful difference in someone’s day.
Our journey from pandemic parents to content creators has taught us that sometimes the most beautiful things emerge from the most challenging circumstances. We’re grateful to share this space with our readers and look forward to continuing to spread happiness, one story at a time.
