The Joy of Independence
Happy Independence Day Joy Chasers! This little guy has given me my greatest independence. My dad (more than my mom) raised me to not need a man for anything. But rather the freedom to choose a partner that was right for me and to be able to walk away from a relationship that wasn't. But as I got older and had not found my Mr. Joy Chaser the realization that not having gotten married (yet) could rob me of one of my greatest dreams, Motherhood. Dating became stressful instead of … READ MORE
Joyful? A Day in the Life of a Single Mother By Choice.
Becoming a mom on my own, a choice mom, a single mother by choice is the biggest, starriest, hardest, and most wonderful decision I've ever made. It wasn't a fast decision either. I became aware of this path to parenthood because of blogging. Somehow while reading blogs I came across the Single Mother By Choice blog and website and shared it with my mom. We talked about it and thought it was cool for those women. At that time we both assumed I'd be married sooner than later. Mom … READ MORE

After he passed away the day was very painful. … READ MORE
A $1,700 Purchase Made Me Feel Joyfully Empowered Even As States Take Women’s Reproductive Options Away.
On Sunday I made a big unexpected purchase. It was about $1,700 and totally worth it because it is giving me reproductive options. Lately, as a women living in the United States I have felt anxious as pro-life laws in several states are being passed. I am not pro-live and certainly not pro-abortion. I don’t even know that that is a thing. But I am pro-options. This is supposed to be the “land of the free” so our laws should be moving to give us more freedoms and options as to how to live … READ MORE
Chasing Joy Vision Board Party
The Chasing Joy Vision Board Party was this past Sunday. It was a great success. Twenty-three women gathered together to focus on their goals and overcoming obstacles to get the joyful life they deserve. I could not have asked for a better group. They were kind, open, and generous of spirit. I loved the conversations that were taking place. I loved that our age range covered early 20s, 30s, 40s, and possible 50s (black don’t crack so it’s hard to know for sure). It’s never too soon or too … READ MORE
