"I'll be happy when..."

Dear friends,

Have you ever said, I'll be happy when...

I get that promotion.

I take off on vacation.

I move into a new place.

We tend to look forward to the next thing that will bring us happiness. It's easy to get excited about something in the future. And the beginning stages bring a lot of natural excitement. Think of your first days in a role, the first day of vacation, the first time turning the keys to a new place. Pure bliss.

Newness often brings us happiness.

The joy of "newness" is on my mind because we've launched a NEW website, we have a NEW talk called The Joy Game, and we published a NEW speaker reel that brings the power of my keynotes to life. All of these projects have brought a tremendous amount of joy to my life.?But they didn't come easily.

My hope for you is that you also find joy--or at least presence--in the process. And perhaps move from "I'll be happy when..." to find joy in the ups and downs as well. Because the hard parts along our journey define our lives as much as the fun, joyful kickoff.?

I loved collaborating with VideoNarrative to bring my new vision to life. The process gave me the opportunity to reflect on how?I continue to evolve as an individual and as a keynote speaker.

What has Amy been up to?

A recent highlight for me was a talk I gave with my husband, Dr. Kwabena "Bobo" Blankson, at a joint Parent Association meeting of St. Marks School of Texas and Hockaday. We shared powerful stats on teen screen use and how parents can navigate the tricky issues that inevitably arise by using strategies like motivational interviewing and, of course, role modeling.

This week, I'm looking forward to joining the?Government Treasurer's Organization of Texas. Money managers need optimism in this world too!
