Where Can You Find More Joy?

1/28/2019

​Holy cow!  Life can feel so hard, overwhelming, and heavy at times!  Everywhere we look there’s something to worry about, something going wrong, something to be bothered by.  Heavy!  Exhausting…  and I’m tired of being so tired by all that’s heavy and what I label to be “wrong.” 

So, I find myself wondering where can I find more joy and fun in my everyday life.   How can I bring in lightheartedness and playfulness, even when there are sad and challenging things happening in my own circle and in the world at large?  How might I create more beauty and softness around me?

Honestly, I need to take some time to consciously reconnect with what brings me joy, what I find fun. I’ve gotten a little out of touch with the carefree little girl I once was – this part of me that is still here but has been pushed aside for too long.  Can you feel your little one alive within you, just waiting to be remembered? 

It feels like it’s time for a shake-up and time to at all aspects of my life.  The old habitual “things” and ways aren’t doing it right now.  It’s time to look at my daily practices. It’s time to look at how I spend my time and who I spend time with.  It’s time to notice how I am showing up and asking what I’m bringing to the party.  For sure, what I put out is what I will attract.  Misery loves company.  But I don’t want more misery.  I want joy!  I want fun!  I want to laugh and play!    

How are you doing with your joy?  
How about you?  How are you wanting to feel?  What do you want to attract into your world?  Is it time for a change?  Maybe you, too, have gotten in a rut and feel ready to mix things up a bit.

What is it that brings you joy, delight, laughter, lightheartedness, and fun?  Take a moment and find a quiet place to sit with this question and see what bubbles up for you. 

How can you plan for a little of this each day?  It’s great to have vacations, retreats, date nights, and these types of peak experiences, but let’s make it simpler…  In this season of darkness, how can you bring some light and beauty into your home?  In this time of worry, what gives you reason to hope?  Can you tap into that?  In a time of sadness, fear, or despair, where can you find a little joy? 

What might be possible if you had a little more delight and a little more hope?  

Please share with us the ways that you find and create joy, fun, playfulness in your life in the comments below so that we can get some new ideas that we might try when our own are getting a little stale!

Who are the Connectors in Your Life?

​In Daring Greatly, Brene Brown says, "Connection is why we are here; it gives purpose and meaning to our lives."  I know this to be true.  

Recently I’ve been reflecting on the amazing and wonderful people I have in my life… friends, business colleagues, healers, coaches, teachers, counselors, healers, and clients.  Which caused me to think back even further.  Who brought us together?  At one moment there was something magical and mystical that happened and I became connected to these people! 

Thankfully, we do not live in this world in isolation!  Without these powerful connectors who somehow brought these people to me, who knows where I’d be?  I am so very grateful for those moments of serendipity and synchronicities where bonds were formed and friendships made that might not otherwise ever come to be. 

Like this magnificent Banyan tree, together we grow strong and remain deeply rooted and connected to one another.  I intend to reach out and thank those people (the ones I can remember) who somehow brought me together with the people who matter so much in my world today. 

I invite you to do the same!  Who introduced you to your best friend or spouse?  Who brought you your first client?  Who told you about the most amazing massage therapist?  Who shared the name of a person who could support you and your child?  Take just a minute and give them a call, shoot them a text, or write them a note to let them know what a difference this has made in your life. 

Gratitude!  It’s a simple and under-utilized super power!

I am grateful for you and that somehow you found your way into this community.  

If you are a mom who has been impacted by your son or daughter's addiction or other mental health condition who is longing for some connection with other moms who've been there too, please join us for a special renewal retreat this coming weekend!  Starting the Year with Serenity begins on Friday and there are 2 spots left!

    About me...

    I am a writer, coach, and teacher, and I love capturing life's many moments through writing, whether that be journalling, blogging, poetry, or essay.  I have always found the written word as a natural way for me to express what lies within.  

    This is the space where we get real.  I will write about my life experiences and things that I find my clients encounter in their daily lives.   

    What's real for you? What would you like me to write about?  Feel free to share with me topics you would like to see discussed and please join in the dialogue through the comment section. Your engagement makes the blog a much richer place to hang out!

    Thank you for joining me on this journey!!
