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.

Chasing Joy at Mama’s Day Off
A few years ago, while going over the Pillars of Joy at a Chasing Joy event I noticed several women in the room looking at me skeptically. I had just going over the importance of having some me time as part of your self-care routine. I noticed them laughing and speaking in hushed tones to each other about how impossible that was because of their children. At the time I was not a mom so I couldn't give first-hand advice on how to manage that challenge. However, I did speak to the importance of … READ MORE
Small Consistent Gesture of Love 💖
Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Today a lot of you will be making or on the receiving end of grand gestures. That is wonderful! Enjoy them and bask in feeling special. However, I want you to remember that it is not the grand gestures that spark the most joy. It is the small consistent gesture of love that means the most. Yesterday I was putting out the trash. I turned around to go back in the house and I had a memory of my mom standing in the doorway waiting for me. I live on a street where … READ MORE
