Congratulations to us for keeping this conversation alive – about Joy-Based Living, and about developing mindsets where joy can thrive! One would think – I used to think – that a conversation about JOY would be lighthearted and easygoing… but surprisingly… it often takes quite a bit of courage!
Why? Because we have to let ourselves fully feel and accept our “negative” experiences and feelings before we can accept new ones. And most people are easily overwhelmed by the sensations of their own authentic feelings. But we are learning. Together. We are learning to take our foot off of the hose and to stop resisting the great love that simply wants to flow through us… we are learning to simply let it flow.
Today, we are 100 strong and I want to thank each and every one of you for your contribution to this JBL blog, to this public yet sacred space. You’ve taught me through your likes and follows and comments that the more authentic I am, the more you want to read. So I’ll keep tuning in to my very best voice and sharing from that place.
Thank you for being with me in this amazing journey.
Much love,
Happy D!
Ps Here are some of my favorite images from the last few months that I thought you’d enjoy too! Happy 100!!

I am SO proud of & elated by the JBL community’s growth… AND so delighted to say: “CONGRATULATIONS, DEBBIE!!”
You & all your heartfelt efforts remind me of an inspiring quote from Buddha:
“If you light a lamp for someone else, it will also brighten your path.” 🙂
May the entire JBL Community continue shining more & more Light into our world!
Amen!!! Thank you, Will, for being one of those lamps and lights!!
