Joy Unleashed
Joy is a verb My mission is simple: Encourage you to find JoY in every aspect of your daily life. There is no limit to the wisdom we can share with each other.
I am also passionate about creating conversations about spirituality, gratitude, health and wellness, fitness, and nutrition. Everyone has something to teach and everyone has something to learn.
✨JOMO — Celebrate the joy of missing out; 35 things to abandon this season: becomingunbusy.com/jomo-happy-holiday
Thirty-four years ago today, 14 women lost their lives at school. They were sought out, singled out and killed in a place of learning. Because they were women. This violent act was fueled by beliefs that persist today.
Let us never forget.

Forgiveness is not a matter of exonerating people who have hurt you. They may not deserve exoneration. Forgiveness means cleansing your soul of the bitterness of ‘what might have been,’ ‘what should have been,’ and ‘what didn’t have to happen.’ Someone has defined forgiveness as ‘giving up all hope of having had a better past.’ What’s past is past and there is little to be gained by dwelling on it. There are perhaps no sadder people then the men and women who have a grievance against the world because of something that happened years ago and have let that memory sour their view of life ever since.”
Rabbi Harold S Kushner
Leonard Cohen said his teacher once told him that the older you get the lonelier you become, and the deeper the love you need. This is because, as we go through life, we tend to over-identify with being the hero of our stories.
This hero isn’t exactly having fun: he’s getting kicked around, humiliated, and disgraced. But if we can let go of identifying with him, we can find our rightful place in the universe, and a love more satisfying than any we’ve ever known.
People constantly throw around the term 'Hero’s Journey' without having any idea what it really means. Everyone from CEOs to wellness-influencers thinks the Hero’s Journey means facing your fears, slaying a dragon, and gaining 25k followers on Instagram. But that’s not the real hero’s journey.
In the real hero’s journey, the dragon slays YOU. Much to your surprise, you couldn’t make that marriage work. Much to your surprise, you turned forty with no kids, no house, and no prospects. Much to your surprise, the world didn’t want the gifts you proudly offered it.
If you are foolish, this is where you will abort the journey and start another, and another, abusing your heart over and over for the brief illusion of winning.
But if you are wise, you will let yourself be shattered, and return to the village, humbled, but with a newfound sense that you don’t have to identify with the part of you that needs to win, needs to be recognized, needs to know. This is where your transcendent life begins.
So embrace humility in everything. Life isn’t out to get you, nor are your struggles your fault.
Every defeat is just an angel, tugging at your sleeve, telling you that you don’t have to keep banging your head against the wall.
Leave that striver there, trapped in his lonely ambitions. Just walk away, and life in its vastness will embrace you.

Mindfulness works to give us some space from our thoughts so. that we can choose whether we will take them to heart or let them go– at least until we can gather some more information. - Sharon Salzberg
And, there
In the mists of my memory
I see you.
And, there
In the mists of my memory
You shall always be.
