Julianna - The Fun Goddess

My mission is to help make it easy for people to be happy. To have fun and make new friends.

What is the Secret of Happiness?

"Happiness seems to emerge as a byproduct of fulfilling activities. Identify and practice those activities and you just might find - if you ever slow down to think about it - that you're happy." Robert Epstein, Ph.D - editor Psychology Today

Julianna and Friends was created for discerning singles to have an easy way to have fun and meet interesting new people while enjoying a variety of activities.

How do we make new friends as we get older?
People who are intellectually stimulating and thoughtful.

Frequent life shifts - such as moving home, changing jobs or career direction, getting divorced - make it difficult for us to keep existing friends and make new ones. Suddently we don't have as much in common with a friend as we once did.

Whether you're new to Sydney, fresh out of a relationship, or fresh out of single friends because your best friend just met Mr or Ms Right - Julianna and Friends can help you have more fun and make new friends because we are a social events club and not a dating agency.

Our emphasis is on having fun - not dating with a tick-the-box shopping list mentality.

It is better to focus on enjoying life as a single person rather than desperately searching. Seek friendship first and be honest about what you want.

If you want someone happy, confident and who loves life - become that person and you'll become a magnet for people who are happy, confident and love life.

The process of making friends later in life is a more 'natural' process and less about 'peer pressure'. You are free to create a new circle of friends who are more attuned to who you are and what you need.

Don't wait for a knock at your door. You have to be pro-active and take some risks - and you need to persist and be patient. It takes time to develop new friendships and you have to be patient with the process and not expect too much too fast.

It helps if you are a joiner, someone who likes to get involved in things. It helps if you are generally confident, socially gregarious, trusting and open.

If we stop being open to new friendships - we miss out on and lose the knack of connecting with others, an important skill to keep up if our life takes a sudden turn and we find ourselves in the midst of a friendship drought.

Rather than believing it's too tiring a task to make new friends, consider that it might be energising. New friendships infuse your life with new ideas and energy. Limiting yourself to the same people all the time can make you stagnate.

The idea that you are too busy to meet new people is misguided. Friendships are constantly shifting.

Making friendships should be a lifelong habit. No matter where you are or how old you are, you can start again. Our Members are professionals, executives and business people, aged mainly between 35 and 59.

Since 1994 over 1,700 Members have enjoyed oceans of fun at over 1,400 professionally organised events. We have celebrated dozens of weddings and engagements. Consummated thousands of romances and formed valuable friendships and business alliances.

Our quality instead of quantity approach ensures you and your time are respected.
