But the truth is, joy has been here all along, waiting to be discovered within ourselves. So go ahead, take a deep breath, and let joy find you ✨ #findingjoy #innerpeace #selfdiscovery
Going full hippie today. Made laundry soap. I actually used the baby unscented Dr Bronners in the end. Grate the bar of soap, use a full box of washing soda and borax, mix well, store in a dry, airtight container. No dye, chemicals, perfumes, or plastics... Hers to clean clothes! #happygirl #thriveatlife #unbreakable #findingjoy #abundantlife #wholeheartedliving #Glow #homemade

What was your most recent vacation? Mine was our trip to Banff.

In this episode, we’ll discuss how you can: • Calm the chaos — to slow down and consider what’s making your life feel so overwhelming. • How to recognize the more over less culture you live in. • Learn from the women who’ve gone before you — see through the temptations of the culture to be and do everything. •Be ready to do hard work in order to discover the beauty family. • Take a hard look at God’s plan and purpose for giving us life — and measure it against what social media or even your friends say gives life or happiness.

Day 18 of #messymay hosted by @getmessyartjournal - the prompt is 'serendipity'. I created this page in quite an intuitive, unplanned way, working with materials I had to hand such as scrap paper and leftover paint in a palette. I added layers and marks using various techniques including finger painting and flicking paint with a toothbrush, I think this adds to the spontaneous feel. #getmessyartjournal #getmessymay #messymay2024 #dailypages #artjournaling #mixedmedia #wellbeing #creativity #artformentalhealth #arttherapy #journalingformentalhealth #dailycreativity #embracingimperfection #recoveringperfectionist #findingjoy #creativechallenge #artchallenge #rest #playtime #nature #journaling #memorykeeping #creativejournaling #alpdailypages #awesomeladiesproject #gratitude #journalwithpurpose
Today’s brioche knit workshop was a lot of thinking, a lot of laughing, some unknitting, and a great sense of achievement. Brioche isn’t easy. It’s a process. And forces you to be completely in the moment.

What a beautiful Saturday.... The theme was clearly pink. A beautiful sunrise, new nails, coffee with a friend and a watercolour workshop. 🩷 #findingjoy
The last pair of cobalt earrings are on the way to their new home, so I made another pair, this time in a translucent cobalt bead. I wanted to have all three colors for a Memorial Day photo. 😉🇺🇸 I think that these would be especially pretty on someone with light-colored hair, short hair, or an updo. 💙
We’ve all been there! Dry sales, lack of motivation, and sad feelings. Cheer up friend! Things will get better but until then, here are some tips to help relieve stress and keep you motivated! Remember slow and steady wins the race! #digitalmarketing #digitalmarketingstrategy #joy #findingjoy
Walked a 5k today among the wild flowers- wanted to run but leg day wiped me out! Rather than risk injury, I took it slow. I love to stop and notice the small things- it brings me so much joy!

... this too shall pass After a tough few months I needed a reminder to myself that everything is ephemeral, transient....the good, the bad and everything between. The phrase is said to be of Persian origin, apparently first being found in the work of Sufi poets. Big thanks to the always awesome @pokedbypigeons @botanica.tattoo for massive patience and perseverance placing this stencil 3 million times until we were both happy with it 🤣 Tattoo days are always some of the best days 😀 Happy Saturday folks ❤️ #thistooshallpass #tattoo #tattooday #lettering #typography #patience #selfcare #smalltattoo #findingjoy #botanicatattoo #tomhanks #sufipoetry #poetry #handpoke #handpoketattoo
In honor of May being mental health awareness month, I have been posting about worry and General Anxiety Disorder. These are a few Bible verses to meditate on when you are feeling anxious. There are many ways to meditate on Scripture. Here are some ideas to get you started: 1. Read the verse and then pray to God about your anxiety. Feel free to share all of the small and big details. 2. Write the verse in a journal/diary and write a letter to God about your anxiety and what this verse means to you. 3. Look at yourself in the mirror and read these verses aloud to yourself. You might want to repeat one verse multiple times as you focus on believing in the truth of what the verse is saying to you. 4. Write a verse on a post-it and stick it somewhere that is visible. Whenever you get a chance, continue to read it and take a moment to say a quick or long prayer. 5. Memorize the verse and recite it in your mind or out loud every opportunity you get, especially when you're feeling anxious. Which method have you tried that works well for you? Which method would you try out?
We all need to find something that brings us peace and joy amongst all our sorrow…. Gardening is my happy place. I used to say it was cheaper than therapy…. Now, I’m not so sure!! I love saving the plants off the clearance rack at Lowe’s… I give them a home and new life in Alec’s garden! I guess some people save animals… I save the plants!! Enjoy your Saturday friends… hopefully you can find a few things today that brings you joy! ❤️Amy #gonebutneverforgotten #childloss #childlosssurvivor #grief #griefjourney #findingjoy #warriormom #joyandsorrowcancoexist

"In the quiet moments outside the lecture hall, let weekends be your symphony of peace and happiness." Weekends are a time to step away from the busyness of daily routines and embrace the serenity that comes with slowing down. It's a chance to recharge, find joy in simple pleasures, and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. Whether you're spending time in nature, enjoying a hobby, or simply relaxing at home, make these moments count. Embrace the peace and let happiness fill your heart, creating a harmonious balance that will carry you through the week ahead. Remember, taking time for yourself is essential for maintaining your well-being and sustaining your passion for teaching and inspiring others.

As one school year is ending, we are also excited about the new school year! This morning we had a wonderful call with all our new teachers introducing them to future colleagues and getting to know each other. I am so grateful that God calls amazing people to serve in the two Mercy Ships Academies…. Two Ships, two Schools. One Mission! Can’t wait to see what God continues to do! #schoolonship #mercyshipsacademy #findingjoy
Here’s to savoring the quiet luxuries of life. 🥂
Day 7 of Finding Joy - more theatre!! 🎭 When we first married, Bill and I signed up for this Off Broadway club for like $50 a year. It was so CHEAP. I can’t remember the name of it. But you could go to any Off Broadway show that had unsold tickets. You just had to log in that day and see what was available. Whenever we were free, we grabbed two tickets. Ended up seeing the most incredible shows. I loved that era. Did it for YEARS. Then I had a theatre kid and we continued on … Not a bad hobby to have. We usually made it her birthday or holiday present. But then she went to college and I sort of stopped going to Broadway?! Why?! I love it! When @winesdaymusical invited me in to see their show, I jumped at the chance because the concept was SO unique. You get a drink (wine or a mocktail) with every act. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 Es-queeze me? Why isn’t every single thing I do like this? I want a little snack served in between takes at the movies. I want French fries with new dipping sauces at the doctor’s office. This concept has to take! The show focuses on a group of friends and how their lives lean on wine in a serious way. Book club? Yoga? Right after work? Friendly gathering? Good times? Bad? It’s almost like the wine is one of the friends! I don’t want to spoil the show bc I hate people that do that but there is one character who falls in love with every boy she meets and he is always “perfect”. We kept nudging my daughter bc … yeah. I think you will be able to relate to at least one of the cast in a real way. Now playing Wednesdays at 7:30PM, Thursdays at 5PM and Sundays at 1PM! 📍The Theater Center 210 West 50th Street @ Broadway Are you a theatre fan? I really am going to make sure I get back and get back often. #winesday #winesday🍷 #broadway #offbroadway #musical #theater #theaterlife #broadwaymusicals #broadwayshow #broadwayshows #nyc #nycgo #nyclife #nyctheatre #nyctheater #nyctheaterscene #timessquare #findingjoy #findingjoyeveryday
Today's the day. So I'm still on the journey for National Boards having not yet achieved it last year. 🏆 This year I gave it another go focusing on just one component. I thought this would be easier than all three like last year. 🤞 And yet.... 😱 This year was one of the greatest challenges I've faced on all fronts. Starting the year off teaching a whole new grade with a broken right wrist. Battling my own insecurities while dealing with both personal and work related conflicts. 😫 Add to this the uptick in duties and responsibilities due to a lack of staffing and you have the perfect storm for doubt, discouragement, and dimay. ⛈️ I paused. 🙏 God spoke. I listened. 👂 I went back at it planning, preparing and putting forth effort. 💪 I have until midnight today to finish typing and uploading all of my evidence. All in all about 8 hrs of work. Prayers warriors...I need your prayers. 🙏 #faithoverfear #findingjoy #teacherlife #prayerispowerful #LordGiveUsStrength
Lord, On this Shabbat, I ask for Your refreshment and renewal. May my heart be filled with joy and my spirit be revitalized.

My Messy May journal, with its ribbon tie, beckons me to come and dive into its delightful mess.

Title: Radiating Inner Beauty Messy May Prompt 6 Delve into equilibrium with the use of radiant lines. Messy May's Prompt 6, entitled Rays, sparked my creativity and kept me pondering for quite some time. I ultimately decided to use the image of the back of a woman's head, her head adorned with rays emanating outwards. The vibrant red hue of her hair perfectly complemented the concept of rays, conjuring images of the sun with its warm red and yellow tones. On the left side of the artwork, a powerful stance is struck by a woman, symbolizing the subconscious and urging the viewer to embrace their full potential with a positive and uplifting energy. To further enhance the message, I incorporated a meaningful quote from the artist working on this prompt, allowing it to elegantly encircle the figure of the woman on the left. I am still working on this one. I will ultimately add words to each of the Rays, maybe...maybe not...we will see. ☀️ Let us embrace the values of truth, beauty, freedom, love, and the written word as we read and write on! 📖✒️ @Shh_IamReading @thewritingwhisperer #getmessyartjournal #getmessyart #getmessyhabit #messypages #artjournals #artjournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #junkjournals #junkjournaljunkies #creativejournal #journalpages #artforbreakfast #createeveryday #mixedmediajournal #creativepractice #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #artistsoninstagram #messymay2024 #gmseasonofgestalt #journalkeeping #writingexercise #innerself #reflection #create #mindful #betterme #findingjoy #findinghappiness

The old adage goes: "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life!" There's a lot of truth to that. When you're passionate about your work or activities, it doesn't feel like a chore or a burden. Instead, it brings you joy, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose. I've found my joy in boxing and being a coach, fitness, walking dogs, volunteering and time with friends and family. Have a great long weekend, rest, recharge and enjoy the family time. Stay fit focused and on target. Never get on the truck. #boxing #nevergetonthetruck #beinspired #beyourself #findingjoy

Finding the comfort and the joy in the discomfort and the ‘oy!’ 💕 Surgery is not fun. No matter how you slice it 😉 you’re putting your body and mind through a lot. There’s the anticipation, putting parts of your life on hold, going through with the actual thing, and then recovery. Even something small can take a lot out of you physically and energetically, and no two ops are the same. Yesterday I had a laparoscopy to look into what’s causing my horrifically awful periods. I’ve been waiting a year and a half for the surgery alone, and multiple years since I first went to see someone about it. And guess what? I’m now two incisions + a lot of bloating in, and not a hell of a lot wiser on the answers to my questions. It’s not, as the doctor thought it might be, endometriosis. As good news as that is, a part of me hoped it would be as at least I’d have a solid reason and path forward. Instead, there are a couple other things that came up (of the fibroids and polyps in uncomfortable sizes and places variety), and a few options (re: more surgery) to consider to help alleviate my pain. The word hysterectomy came up. But that’s for another time and another post. Not the outcome I was hoping for and that’s both frustrating and also okay. I did get some answers so it was worth it, even if I have more questions now than before. Starting with my first mastectomy, I decided that every time I have surgery, I would do something to make it more enjoyable and help me look forward to it a bit more. Enter: a new pair of pajamas every time! It’s convalescence in comfort and style, daahhlings 😍 Speaking of convalescence, swipe to see my partner in it! Also rocking pink 🐶💞 (he’s okay, just had his snip this week ✂️🍆) Seeing as Stitch is my favourite Disney character, the second I saw these uber bright and fun pjs, I knew they were to be my convalescence consolation! And you know what? I have actually been looking forward to the surgery *just* so I could pop this on after 😁 Life is wild. But it doesn’t always have to be so serious. We can always find ways to bring more comfort and joy, even when it feels anything but. My pajama drawer overfloweth 🌺
Ever feel like you just can’t catch a break? That’s been life for us lately. Between the kids and myself, it feels like we’ve been passing around illness after illness. Just when we thought we might see a break in the clouds... the Highland midges decided to join the party today! 🙈 But, here’s the thing—life throws curveballs, and sometimes they come fast and furious. It’s during these times, when everything seems to pile up, that self-compassion becomes more essential than ever. That’s why I’ve put together a Self-Compassion Workshop at the end of the month. It’s designed to help us navigate these challenging times without losing ourselves in the process. We’ll explore practical strategies to be kind to ourselves, manage stress, and find moments of joy—even when life feels overwhelming. If you’re feeling the weight of continuous challenges, or if you simply need a reminder that you’re not alone in this, I’d love for you to join us. Let’s learn together how to turn compassion inward and bolster our resilience. Check out the link in bio to sign up and learn more. Let’s embrace self-compassion as our superpower! How do you cope when everything seems to be happening at once? Share your thoughts and let's support each other. 💪❤️ #SelfCompassionWorkshop #Resilience #ParentingInChaos #HighlandMidges #NC500 #Highlands #ScotlandTravel #FamilyHealth #MentalWellness #SelfCare #StressRelief #MindfulParenting #ChallengingTimes #CompassionateLiving #EmotionalWellbeing #HealthJourney #ParentSupport #SelfLove #CommunitySupport #FindingJoy #StayStrong

The real secret to a fabulous life is to live imperfectly with great delight. The true key to a fulfilling life is to embrace imperfection and find joy in it. This quote truly resonated with me and encapsulates what I strive for. My guiding word for this year has been "Intention," and I have been focused on making time for my passion for art. I have great passion for making art, but always feel lacking in my skill. I am currently working on a Ringed Journal Project with prompts and Messy May so I've been busy creating This intentional effort has been paying off, but it also feels like for every step forward in one area, I slip back in another. I suppose the real challenge with my intention is finding the harmonious balance. Let us embrace the values of truth, beauty, freedom, love, and the written word as we read and write on! 📖✒️ @Shh_IamReading @thewritingwhisperer #getmessyartjournal #getmessyart #getmessyhabit #messypages #artjournals #artjournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #junkjournals #junkjournaljunkies #creativejournal #journalpages #artforbreakfast #createeveryday #mixedmediajournal #creativepractice #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #artistsoninstagram #messymay2024 #gmseasonofgestalt #journalkeeping #writingexercise #innerself #reflection #create #mindful #betterme #findingjoy #findinghappiness

Mental Health Awareness Month I did not write ✍️ this…I believe this… Mindset, mindset, mindset. If I'm not careful, I'll tell myself the wrong things. "I'm late, I'm worried, I'm not good enough, I'm...you name it." Do you? "I'm broke. I'm without opportunities. I'm alone. I'm a failure. I'm messing up." Listen. I need you to listen because I care about you. All of those statements after "I'm" become your goal, your focus, your target. Maybe not intentionally, but it's a descriptor. So I have a challenge for you. Start to pay attention. What are you telling yourself? Can you change it? "I'm working towards abundance. I have opportunities. I can make friends. I am trying. I am enough." The challenge is catching yourself when you cut yourself down. But you CAN DO THIS. One thought, one change in belief - it can change things. But more than that, sweet sister, it WILL bring hope. And hope? It's the spark of change and the ignitor of joy. Be optimistic. ~Rachel #findingjoy When I was beating myself up years ago it was hard to be optimistic. I did not want to be optimistic anymore. I decided. It hurt too much. I was too tired. I had been optimistic and it just was not working. I was trying to do everything everyone wanted me to do. I could not keep juggling all the plates for everyone. I felt weak and I dropped them. I was broken. Then I realized… I am not broken. I learned that the struggles in my life weren’t there to make me weak. They actually unearthed my inner strength. And in the places that might have broken me l discovered bravery, courage and my heart ♥️ Sometimes it takes the challenges to show just how amazing We already are. ~rachel marie martin Whatever you (decide to) do, make sure you do it for you. May you use this month for awareness of your own mental health. I am. Appreciate everything. ~Fran xoxo 😘 💋 Can you relate?
Is it really ridiculous to say that this is my happy place? For some people the thought of standing up front and centre and talking to a group of (sometimes complete) strangers is terrifying. For me, it means that I get to get closer to my vision for Quiet the Hive. I want every woman I work with to skid towards the end of their days thinking “Holy Cow! What a ride” rather than “I wish I’d been brave enough to…”. If it helps one woman move a teeny bit closer to this, trusting herself more, being braver and finding the joy, then that’s job done. Yesterday was such a powerful session, full of revelations, inspirations and vulnerabilities. The overriding message has been not just how much people enjoyed it, but how much they needed it; and they didn’t even realise it until afterwards. Take a moment to do something small and nurturing for yourself today. Do not feel guilty about it. Do not put it to the bottom of the to-do list. You matter. You are allowed to find moments of joy. Dammit! You’re allowed to craft your whole life around joy!

For today, if you see something beautiful in someone, speak it. Maybe even tomorrow too and the day after that. • Why are we quick to point out flaws, find fault, judge quickly, point the finger? Let’s look for the good stuff instead, the beautiful stuff - I’m not talking about a pretty dress or a new pair of shoes - I’m talking about a genuine heart, a kind soul, an encouraging spirit, a sweet smile, a welcoming nature. Do you admire something in someone? Tell them! If you see something beautiful in someone, speak it. Also, these @traderjoes flowers and fresh greenery from my yard are bringing me so much joy today. Happy Friday friends - make today a beautiful one #findingjoy #speakit
The joy of correct movement. Am I having a midlife crisis? I want to do a roly-poly 😂 I’ve been watching my son learn to do front flips on the trampoline, so much joy in his face with the movement. 💫 I have been doing a lot of work on my body and my core recently as I pulled several muscles in my pelvis gardening a while back to the point I couldn’t sit down as it had to constantly move to keep the pain at bay. I found a brilliant chiropractor and have discovered I hold all my strength in my glutes and legs and then lock in my rib cage so I can’t breath properly. I have been unpicking this and understanding so much about the way my body has held me through my life. I’ve been seeing my Pilates teacher for 1-2-1 sessions and doing slow gentle movements that I’m now building on to create good use of core and breath. The joy I felt when I suddenly was able to relax my glutes and not grip in certain moves, changing muscle memory. And I thought as I walked towards the bed yesterday 💭 “I want to do a roly-poly” and I did!….and there was so much joy in an unusual movement but there was also a crunch followed by a sore neck when will I learn. Midlife crisis? Are we meant to be able to do roly-polys when we are 47? It's much better today after some gentle stretching and lots of magnesium. Maybe it was meant to happen like some self chiropractic session?
I am taking a pause on IG …. As a mother of a beautiful daughter I am blessed to be able to take time out of my everyday life to travel and be with Jess on the beautiful island of Bali. My heart is so full of love, not only for my daughter but my sons, my family, my friends, my life and for the beauty of nature. I want to be more present in my everyday over the next few weeks than ever.. to practice yoga and explore and adventure. To find joy in small things… to learn about myself. To try and leave behind the parts of me I need to shed. To take joy in the everyday, to live with a grateful heart and to return home full of joy and positivity with energy like never before. So please forgive me if I don’t check my page and I send huge gratitude to those accounts who love and mention me - I will catch up when I return…..and in the meantime there will be odds and ends of what I get up to in my stories. Have a beautiful May 💕 #takingabreak #pilatesteacher #beingpresent #enjoylife #bali #motherdaughterlove #motherdaughtertime #gratitude #gratefulheart #findingjoy #fitover50 #moveeveryday #movementismymedicine #lovelife #lovenature
जैसे ही हमारी आँखें पहली बार मिलीं, समय रुक गया-एक लुभावनी विराम जो नई शुरुआत और अंतहीन संभावनाओं के बारे में फुसफूसा रहा था। यह ऐसा था जैसे दुनिया सिर्फ हमारे लिए शांत हो गई, जिससे हमें वास्तव में जादुई चीज़ की शुरुआत का आनंद लेने का मौका मिला।💛🧡 यह केवल दो लोगों की मुलाकात नहीं थी, बल्कि दो आत्माओं के संरेखण का अर्थ था💛🧡 एक साथ यात्रा शुरू करना, प्यार की गहराई और साझा सपनों की ऊंचाइयों की खोज करना। उस पहली नज़र के बाद से हर सेकंड एक सुंदर, प्रकट होने में एक कदम गहरा रहा है।💛🧡 Jai Radhe Krishna.. Have a blessed day! All is well..💛🧡🙏🏻🦚 #FirstGlance #NewBeginnings #LoveAtFirstSight #EternalRomance #TogetherForever #MagicalMoments #radhakrishna #radha #Love #NewBeginnings #Growing Together #HereWeGoAgain #RealTalk #LoveAndLearn #krishna #findingJoy #SelfLove #OpenHeartReady #BrokenPromisesHealed #Compassion #Acceptance #Healing #InnerPeace #Gratitude #lovestory #instagram #ai

Title: Serenity in Blue: Expressing Emotions through Art Messy May Prompt 5 Marks Marks and mark making can be just the start we need and a great way to get our feelings out. Using marks and mark making has become a cathartic way for me to release and express my emotions. Lately, I've felt a bit scattered, so I've been striving to find a more tranquil state of mind. This has led me to immerse myself in the calming color of blue, which has become the dominant hue in my recent art pieces. The imagery of butterflies has always captivated me, representing freedom, grace, and renewal. Alongside this, one of my cherished pieces of classical music is Yo Yo Ma's interpretation of Beethoven's Cello Sonatas. It's remarkable how all of these elements have converged onto the canvas. A Tranquil Symphony in Blue emerged from my marks. This piece in particular has become one of my favorites to date. Let us embrace the values of truth, beauty, freedom, love, and the written word as we read and write on! 📖✒️ @Shh_IamReading @thewritingwhisperer #getmessyartjournal #getmessyart #getmessyhabit #messypages #artjournals #artjournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #junkjournals #junkjournaljunkies #creativejournal #journalpages #artforbreakfast #createeveryday #mixedmediajournal #creativepractice #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #artistsoninstagram #messymay2024 #gmseasonofgestalt #journalkeeping #writingexercise #innerself #reflection #create #mindful #betterme #findingjoy #findinghappiness
