What brings you joy? The kind of joy that rises up like a spring from inside your true self… The kind of joy that goes deep-down-in-your-bones… The kind of joy that defies circumstances… Talk to me about that kind of joy. I’d love to hear about the places and spaces it has shown up for you.

This week I’ll be reflecting on images that bring a deeper knowing of joy in my own life, coupled with quotes that help me lean into joy. As I was looking through pictures I’ve taken over the years, I realized so many of the images that evoke a sense of joy in me are of children – my own and others. For example, if the following short clip doesn’t scream “joy”, I don’t know what does!
I’m realizing that, at least for me, a crucial part of this gateway to joy involves a return to a childlike state…
Living in the present
Immersing myself in the natural world and the elements
Playing and allowing myself the time and space to be creative
What is your gateway to joy?
