“I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.”
–Oriah Mountain Dreamer
I love this statement from the book The Invitation.  JOY, is the highest vibration of our soul and what we  long for in our Divine Purpose and Life Plan.  I believe it is OURS to have now and forever.  We can find JOY in the most ordinary moments of our life when we stop and recognize them. It is dancing in the living-room to music you love.  It is singing at the top of your lungs to a song that speaks to your soul.  It is jogging, walking, skiing, surfing and feeling the wind tousle your hair and the way it makes you feel when you are done – exhilarated.  It is sitting at the table with your loved ones contented. Joy is seeing a baby wrap its little fingers around yours and smiling up at you. Joy is when we are with a group of friends and we feel we belong. More than that, we feel we can be truly ourselves, transparent, showing all sides of us.
Think back to a moment of JOY in your life. Didn’t you just Love it!?  LOVE and JOY go hand in hand, so what do you Love?  I used to tell my children, “Do what you LOVE and LOVE what you do!”  It is the only way to live. When you Love what you do, you do it well! Never apologize for being GREAT at what you do. It is God’s Greatness within you that does the work and  always says YES.  There is a place and a purpose uniquely carved out of time and space  for you.  It calls you.  For it is GOD CALLING YOU to be JOYFILLED in this earthly life.  It beckons you- so invoke it, call it forth and let go of what no longer serves you.
Be Happy, Be Merry, Be Joyful!
