What brought you JOY - Week 1

"Serve the world with your joy"

What brought you JOY: Week one

What brought you joy is my weekly inspiration to infuse my ONE LITTLE WORD in 2017. Like gratitude, I believe joy is a practice that is often neglected. Habitually overlooking joy during an active day is a common mistake I intend to repair as I begin the New Year with intentions and aspirations of something new, but until I take the next right step I will never recognize that which I am in search of.

Joy can be discovered when we pursue an authentic path with others, these kindred moments build the relationships that foster the growth we seek. This week joy was represented by friendship, a connection which grows as we gather together weaving the bond of our relationships amid both connected and varying viewpoints.

With one morning rewarded by the euphoria of running and another off to discover a place of worship, we shared our truths while building a path of faith which united us in the healthy ways that friendships do.

These tiny steps of change lead to great promise for the New Year and saying yes to fresh ideas creates a new routine which energizes the joy in life.

With coffee in hand and a story to share my awareness of joy is strengthened and will flourish in possibility.
