This is the card I drew from the Art of Life Inspiration Deck today. And it reminded me of the joy Frida, our Ferrari brings to so many lives.

There’s a quiet kind of magic in uplifting others. It’s not always loud. It doesn’t always demand attention. But its ripple effect? That’s where the true power lies.
This card—worn, loved, and well-traveled—carries a simple but profound message:
“Give Happiness and Joy to Others. Uplifting others boosts your happiness too.”
And honestly? That’s been the very spirit behind Frida the Ferrari.
She’s not just a car. Frida is a mood, a memory, a spark of joy on wheels. I’ve watched people’s eyes light up just hearing her purr. Strangers become friends. Grown men beam like little boys. Children wave as if they’ve seen Lightning McQueen come to life. And every time someone falls a little in love with her, it’s like witnessing a small miracle—joy bouncing from one heart to another, echoing long after the engine’s turned off.
There’s something about Frida that reminds people of dreams they once had. Of posters on bedroom walls. Of the thrill of the open road, the wind, the freedom. And in giving that feeling—again and again—I’ve come to realize: joy given is never joy lost. It circles back, fuller and brighter.
So maybe happiness isn’t something we chase. Maybe it’s something we give away—in smiles, in revs, in spontaneous joy rides with people we’ve just met. Maybe the real luxury isn’t horsepower—it’s heart.
Next time you see Frida, know this: she’s more than just metal and mechanics. She’s a love story in motion.
And she’s here to remind us all—when you give joy, you get it back in ways you never imagined.
Enjoy this video, where I share more about the inspiration behind creating this magical deck and how it can help you feel happier and stay in your bliss every day.

Every time someone falls in love with her, you can feel the happiness spark. It’s in the wide eyes, the goofy grins, the memories she stirs up. She reminds people of freedom, of dreams, of just being alive.
And the best part?
Giving that joy away fills me up too.
Because when you uplift others—even with a rev of the engine or a shared smile—you end up lifting yourself.
Let Frida be your reminder: happiness multiplies when shared.

i hope you enjoy this video, inspired by an oracle card I pulled from THE MIND/BODY MAKEOVER CARDS by MONA LISA SCHULZ, M.D., PH.D.
As she shares in the accompanying guidebook Healthy Joy (Card #5)
Pseudo-Happiness:
“If I’m happy and successful and I talk about it, I’m being boastful, blowing my own horn.”
True Happiness:
“I express joy and gratitude in my life with the proper combination of passion and humility.”
One would think that expressing joy should never be a problem. Yet to be successful at work, relationships, or in society in general, it’s important to, when appropriate, curb our enthusiasm. Learning how to be happy and not gloat is a complicated skill.
In the past, women were supposed to be more humble and modest about their accomplishments, whereas men were allowed to openly celebrate their successes.
Now, in the 21st century, women are breaking through the “glass ceiling” in careers, and learning how to promote their achievements.
If we don’t acknowledge to ourselves how far we’ve come, our body can’t fully experience the happiness and the “thrill of victory.”
