Today's question: What three things in life does a person need to be happy?
听
TOM DYAS: I believe there's no recipe for a happy life, but there are a few things that certainly make a difference! (1) An affordable place to call home for you, your children and your grandchildren. (2) A real and perceived sense of safety from crime in your community and your home. (3) A loving and supporting network of family and friends. I'm lucky to have an incredibly supportive network and it means the world to me.
听
COLIN BASRAN: Happiness is a unique individual path but I believe the journey begins with a safe place to call home, meaningful opportunity to grow and provide for themselves, while living in a community that provides the freedom, safety, and compassion to be who you really want to be. It will also continue to be my vision to create a community where you can feel included regardless of your race, religion, sexual orientation, or social status.
