Jenny’s Message:?Wow - I love this card. I tell my clients often that joy is even more important than the “work” of self-development” that can often leave us feeling judgmental of ourselves as we work through past stories, traumas and limited thoughts. Joy is a shout out to the Universe, “YES - I love it here - there are beautiful things on this planet - THANK YOU”. Joy connects us with our soul. Joy IS an act of gratitude.

I’ve personally had a bit of a bumpy week. I know, it happens. No matter how much “work” you put in - there are triggers, and more layers to peel off. Grief seems to work it’s way in through each layer as my mom was such a critical part in my processing of just about everything in my life. As the holidays approach, I find myself longing for her presence and that manifests in different ways. And then I think of her, and she was one of the most joyful people I have ever met. She LOVED to cook huge delicious meals for people, she LOVED to have dance parties in our living room, she loved to sing while cooking, she loved being in the country and soaking up nature, her laugh WAS like a hug from the Universe, she loved love and joy. So this weekend I will be meditating on a lot of the above affirmations and asking myself how I can best embody joy and making sure I have some FUN! It begins with date night with my love - which always fills my heart.?

I usually give an exercise of my own but the suggested practices included within this oracle book nailed it in my opinion. If I had anything to add, I would just say to ask yourself HOW you can bring in more joy daily. And also how you might include someone else or bring joy to someone else’s life in this coming week.?

The New Moon is next Wednesday so this is such a perfect time to be setting intentions for Joy and showing the Universe, “YES - I am embracing Joy and am calling in more please! Thank you!” ?I am sending much love and big hugs! Thank you for being on this journey with me.?
