Joy List Monday

I've been working at combatting January's slow start. It may seem counter-intuitive or ironic, but what has really helped has been slowing down and stilling my mind. Writing in my journal. When I'm overwhelmed by my large to-do list and by overflowing inspiration and ideas it really helps to be still. To light a candle and drink some tea and tackle just one thing. Writing in my journal is an immense help. I've been on a roll with it and it feels good.

Writing Joy Lists feels good, too. It's my intention to write them daily. I'm sort of failing at that. Which, means, I think, that it's time to share one here.




  • waking up (& getting up) early
  • a warmer walk w/warm breezes and sunshine
  • Earl Grey tea
  • journaling
  • a house full of flowers
  • yesterday's cocktails and Sunday dinner w/my parents
  • feeling inspired, full of ideas and with a long list of projects, BUT also having a still mind

What's bringing YOU Joy today?
