Chasing Joy

Chasing Joy Missing Church

|

I have not been to church in two weeks.  Now if you look back at my lifetime church attendance you will say what's the big deal.  You have gone months, years, and possibly even decades without going to church.  However, if you look back over the last 4 months you will see that I have been Chasing Joy in Church every single Sunday. Now I have not skipped church for no good reason.  I have skipped because of the weather.  I go with my mom (this is new for both of us) and … READ MORE

Getting Back to Making It Happen On Monday

|

This  year I have tried to be more laid back, my zen more, at ease.  Sometimes I am those things and some times I am not.  The positives of being more laid back, zen and at ease is feeling less stressed, not trying to control everything, and  having more faith that things will be alright.  The negative is that I have gotten kind of lax with setting my goals each week.

1000 Reasons To Be Joyful, #1000Gratitudes

|

Last week I wrote a blog post answering the question that I get asked most by people when they first learn about Chasing Joy.  In that post I talked about how hard it would be to list 1000 things to be grateful for but in doing so it would shift our focus to all of the good things about our life and therefore increase our Joy.  It was just a thought that I shared while writing the post.  Now, as the saying goes,  it's time to put my money where my mouth is, or commit to this … READ MORE
