seeking bliss

I am curious about this book. Apparently Asheville is listed in it as a happy place. The Asheville Citizen-Times quotes the author as saying, “Asheville has earned a singular reputation as the kind of city that Americans move to seek their bliss."
My favorite quote in the article, though, is from a local Ashevillian, who says, “I think Asheville is the happiest place because we have a high concentration of creative people.” He continues, “Being creative and knowing you are not alone in the world, that is enough for hope.”

I love that! Being creative is certainly a large part of our lives here.
But I'm sure you can be happy in your creative home, too!

    This was on 20/20 Friday night, the program was about the happiest places in the world and the most unhappy. The report said that Asheville is the happiest place to live in the US!

    I just have to say THANK YOU for the photography course on 2peas. I have taken community classes, read through books, bought DVDs and was almost at a loss because it just wasn't "clicking" with me and my crazy mind.
    I found your course this morning and it is just what I've been looking for.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

About Us
      Hi! I'm Joanna, author of this journal. My husband Mark and I are photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. Most recently we collaborated on a 12 week beginner photography course, the contents of which you can find
    • here.
      • The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost wordless children's book about frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love it because it tells a story in pictures. Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent (though not always willing) photography subjects. So here you'll find not only the story of our lives, but of those we've photographed as well. We'd love to tell your story, too!
