The “J-Spot”…JOY abounds

JOY Project + The Journey - No BackTalk

Happy Friday!

Just dropped by to share this quick but powerful thought with you:

“Don’t deny yourself the joy of your dreams. Don’t doubt yourself or your ability to do what you are doing to reach your goals…Keep on deciding for yourself who you are, what you desire to express and experience.” ~ Iyanla Vanzant

I hope you find some time in your day to embrace JOY. To hug it to you as you move through the weekend. To wear it wherever you go today. Just step into it and wear it like it was custom made for you…because it was.

It’s the ultimate ensemble.

Live from your soul!
Jayy

Check It Out - “Beautiful Epiphanies”

Evolution + JOY Project + Wordstew - No BackTalk

Check it out.

“Monday Morning”.

Over at the “Love Better Camp”….an article by yours truly entitled Beautiful Epiphanies: Love’s Reparations in Action.

The Love Better Camp is run by my friend & fellow author/poet Linda Dominique Grosvenor. It is just one “brainchild” of many that was born in earnest effort to take her non-fiction work, “The Plural Thing: Spiritually Preparing for Your Soul Mate” to a deeper level.

Now you KNOW I believe in support - especially where my friends are concerned. Even deeper than that, I’m all about supporting anything that makes us better - individually AND collectively.

And you KNOW I’m a believer when it comes to love….that real, authentic, sticky, real-life LOVE. The kind that seeps down into your soul, that keeps you energized when life throws you a curve, the kind that challenges you to be the very best person you can be and to share that with the world, the kind that affirms your worth as a person and inspires you to dig even deeper. Yeah….you KNOW I support all that.

That’s what “The Plural Thing” is all about - how to get out of your own way, to heal yourself, to do the inner work that needs to be done so that you can give and receive the love you deserve.

To love better.

And who doesn’t want to experience THAT?

Stop by. Read the article. Leave your “footprints” in the comment box. Peruse the site. Check out the book. Stop by “The Plural Thing” social network on NING.

Be well. Be loved. BE love.

“DELICIOUS AMBIGUITY”

JOY Project + The Journey - No BackTalk

“Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.”
– Gilda Radner

DELICIOUS AMBIGUITY.

I can taste it, this “delicious ambiguity”, and I have to tell you, if you haven’t mustered up enough courage to taste it - to TRULY taste it - you don’t know what you’re missing.

Not to worry. Took me a minute to work up to what was cooking, what was simmering in that pot.

See, I thought I had to know not only what ingredients were in the pot, but where they came from, the order in which they were added to the pot, how many times it was stirred before serving, all the details about the pot it was cooked in - size, material, weight, Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval….all of that.

I *thought* I needed to know all of that.

In actuality, all I needed to know was that I was more than willing to step outside my comfort zone, to stretch out the boundaries of my fear and taste what had been placed before me.

And just like any other meal that you’re offered or that you ordered, if I pray over it - sincerely and in earnestly - I’m good to go.

So today, I’m having a big ol’ bowl of “Life Stew”. Let it nourish me - mind, body and soul.

And I’m going to enjoy each and every drop.

Every deliciously ambiguous morsel.

Live DELICIOUSLY!
