Paying Attention to Signs!

Thursday Dec 18, 2025

Thursday Dec 18, 2025

Today I share some stories of 'synchronicities' or signs. We don't have to figure out the 'why' -- sometimes that's really well above our pay grade. But it's fun to pay more attention to these 'universe' whispers because they tell us that reality is not really as black-and-white as it seems. 
 
Thanks so much for listening! I love helping people change (and improve!) their perception of their lives -- aka find more JOY.

Oh the Haters!

Tuesday Dec 16, 2025

Tuesday Dec 16, 2025

Today I share another one of Cara Bradley's Sparks 'Oh the Haters.' The question is -- are we afraid of the real haters (of whom I believe there are very few) or the idea that their may be some haters out there -- folks who might hit a nerve and say the thing we are most afraid of? This episode may not solve the 'fear' problem but we can at least address the elephant in the room!

Future Tripping at the Table.

Thursday Dec 11, 2025

Thursday Dec 11, 2025

Today I share a really great JOY SCHOOL question (and some responses) that was submitted prior to Thanksgiving but is very relevant for this period of holiday gatherings. Because sometimes we all future trip and catastrophize about getting together with folks we haven't seen in a while.

Same, Same, Same!

Tuesday Dec 09, 2025

Making New Friends!

Thursday Dec 04, 2025

Thursday Dec 04, 2025

It's tough making new friends as you get older -- sometimes I think there should be a dating app but just to make new friends. I've made some new friends lately and I'm thrilled. Let's talk about friendship and the process of really getting to know new people.

Days of Crafts!

Thursday Nov 27, 2025

Thursday Nov 27, 2025

Some recent school projects have provided the needed stimulus for me to remember my crafty days of yore. It's so interesting when you haven't really done something for like 30 years and then, all of sudden, you are back to it. Somehow, our fingers remember what to do!

Yes, as the title of today's episode implies, today is about books. What I'm reading, what I'm putting off (I do love procrastinating), and why I'm a huge fan of reading in general. We are moving into winter, friends, so it may time time to pile up blankets, make tea, and get a big stack of books ready!
