  • The Pursuit Of Happiness
    By: Judy Ringer | - Joy. Happiness. I woke up one recent morning pondering these ideas, wondering if I could just decide to find more of it in all the activities before me as I climbed out of bed. I decided I could and would. I'd approach each task like it was the first time I was doing it, I would stay present with each email (this takes focus!), each phone call (easier) and each person-to-person connection (fun).

    My fascination with joy started slowly about two years ago when I began singing -- li ...

  • Savor The Moment!
    By: Holly Cox | - During my trip to Europe a couple of years ago, I was amazed at the relaxed atmosphere that was present everywhere I went. Stores closed at lunch so the shopkeepers could go home and eat with their families. People strolled through the streets enjoying the sights. Conversation, laughter, and camaraderie prevailed. The contrast to life in the United States was painfully apparent.

    In America, we seem to be perpetually racing from one thing to another - chasing happiness, fulfillment, ...

  • Sukkot: A Reminder For People Of All Faiths To Practice Joy And Gratitude
    By: Nina Amir | - On the Hebrew calendar date of the 15th of Tishri, just five days after the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur (Day of Repentance) ends, the lesser-known holiday of Sukkot begins. Unlike the solemn and serious holiday that preceded it, Sukkot is a joyous holiday. In fact, this week-long holiday is known as Z'man Simchateinu, the Season of Our Rejoicing or the Season Of Our Joy. And the holiday's joy represents a drastic departure from the solemnity of Yom Kippur.

    Yet, anyone, no matter ...

  • How Joy Division Became New Order
    By: Robert Wilson | - I was recently asked to produce a list of my top 30 singles of all time. This proved to be a very difficult task but number one on my list was no problem at all and I immediately installed Joy Division's haunting and powerful single "Love Will Tear Us Apart" at the top of my list. The single only reached number 13 in the UK charts and as far as I can see never reached the Billboard Top 100, but it has been covered by many other artists since and is often quoted as being one of the most influenti ...

  • Assess The First Six Months Of 2009 And Soar Forward In The Second Half
    By: Joanna Lindenbaum | - As we reach the end of June, we are coming upon the half-year mark. This is a wonderful time to take stock of how far you've come with your goals for 2009 and plan how to leverage your time and align your actions to follow through on all your goals with joy and confidence by the end of the year.

    Does this sound familiar to you?: Very often, by the time June rolls around, not only have you gotten stuck around our yearly goals, but sometimes you even forget what they were!

  • How To Dismiss The Fun Police
    By: Linda Greven | - More About Fun Police!

    I got to thinking a bit more about Fun Police -- and something interesting happened.

    When I open that door, it's like opening the flood gates of a dam. Seriously!

    There are so many thoughts about fun, and about Fun Police in my mind, I have to rein it all in.

    I recently wrote about the fun police called "Not Fast Enough". The response to that article has been overwhelming. I guess lots of people struggle with t ...

  • Creating Moments Of Joy Every Day
    By: Nina Cherry | - It would be wonderful to be able to take a three week vacation and just lay on the beach and read, but how many of us can do that?

    As the economy slides into recession, many people seem to get more stressed and more anxious. More than ever, it is important to make time to rejuvenate each day.

    There are wonderful, small ways we can re-energize in our daily lives. . . I call these Moments of Joy. Moments of Joy are the delightful things that bring us short bursts of ...

  • Balancing Work With Play
    By: Linda Greven | - This is a topic I've written on before, but it bears repeating -- there seems to be two different kinds of people in this world -- those for whom 'fun' is the primary preoccupation, and those for whom work always comes before play.

    I was raised in the latter group. And later in life, when I became a single mom, the list of things that counted as being on the 'work' list was never-ending. In fact, work always came before play.

    So that's how I raised my girls -- unf ...

  • How To Find Your Support
    By: Linda Greven | - For the most part, the women in my life have been hugely supportive -- I have friends I can talk to about things that are going on in my family, other friends are there when I need to get out and kick up my heels, and still others that I turn to when I need work-related or other kinds of backing.

    I don't know if men have that kind of support; in fact, I think that men turn to their wives for emotional support -- whether it's job-related, something to do with the kids, or other fam ...

  • The Joy Of Peeps (and Of Life)
    By: Denise Ryan | - For some unknown reason I have always been fascinated by the Peep (the cute yellow marshmallow chick put in Easter baskets galore). I can't explain it. But I am not alone; there are dozens and dozens of blogs and websites dedicated to the Peep.

    I was waxing poetic about my new Motivation by Chocolate seminar and that Peeps were now made in chocolate when my friend Karen mentioned that JustBorn, the company that makes Peeps, was one of her clients and she had toured the factory. ...

  • Love, Where To Find It?
    By: Maria Schasteen | - What is love? Where can you find it?

    They say, it's love that makes the world go round. What mighty love must it be that holds the universe in balance? A love that lets the sun rise upon the good and the bad equally. Love that envelops the newborn, leads mankind through the ages from failure to success. Love that embraces the old and dying, leading them home into the land of love whence we came and where we have to return.

    Love is a vibration that permeates the whol ...

  • Instantaneous Transformation: 4 Tips For Becoming More Selective In Your Life
    By: Melani Ward | - It has been my experience that one of the keys to happiness in my business and in all areas of my life, is to be selective about what I allow into it. This does not mean I demand perfection - I only get to do that when I am perfect and I'm not holding my breath on that one.

    However, life feels pretty short to me as evidenced by the fact that my daughter, who was born yesterday, is actually days away from being two and a half years old! So, I choose to fill what time I have with g ...

  • What Can We Substitute For Love?
    By: Susan David | - Think that's a strange concept? Think you're exempt? Have you ever heard of "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also?" Your treasure is what you concentrate most of your daily thoughts on. Are you engrossed in repeated, driving thoughts of any of the following: making money, being successful and popular, food, pornography, drugs or alcohol, gambling, over-spending, having things? You are not alone. Most all of us struggle with one or more of the above on a regular basis. Mill ...

  • God Brings Joy In The Morning
    By: Antonio Mitchell | - At times people seems to forget how much God is willing to put up with our faults and short comings. One of his promises would suggest that his anger endures only for a moment.

    We must remember these things because often times when we offend God, he becomes angry with us, but not so easily provoked towards judgment.

    This is why we must study God's word, so we continue to grow in our faith, knowing that he is for us and not against us. As our knowledge grows, we wil ...

  • The Story Of "joy To The World"
    By: Duane Shinn | - From his earliest memory, Isaac Watts, author of Joy to the World and numerous other hymns, recalled being competitive. Albeit a bit on the cocky side, Watts' confidence in his own talent gave the world some of its best-loved and timeless hymns.

    Watts' own mother recognized his outstanding gift when he was just a young child. To encourage him and her other eight children, Mrs. Watts devised a family writing contest. The child who composed the best poem would receive a prize o ...

    By: Carmellita Brown | - Abundance is a journey of joy and purpose. So, why would anyone have a fear of abundance? Here, we will identify four groups of people who fear abundance.

    First, some people believe that abundance and wealth would only lead to corruption and destruction of the human spirit. As we explore this error in judgment, we will provide some clarification on this misconception.

  • Eight Techniques For Happiness, Joy And Mental Ease
    By: Joe Farcht | - Attitude is a habit of thought. Every second your five senses are bombarded with millions of bits of data.

    Since it's impossible to process that much data, your brain has created well worn neural pathways, or patterns of interpretation, to process repetitive data sets. Those patterns filter the incoming data and make it possible to form an understanding of the world from historical repetitive patterns. Our thoughts conform to these historical patterns created through repeated ...

  • You Deserve To Work And Live With Passion!
    By: Joe Farcht | - Passion is an intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction.

    It can be fear-based, as in anger. Or love-based as with intensely positive feelings. The greatest joy and happiness you will ever experience occurs when you are passionate about your work and the life you are living.

    A person working in their area of passion is completely absorbed by it. Time flies by quickly and there is great satisfaction in the work itself and one's accomplishments.

  • Diversify Your Joy To Lose Weight
    By: Brooke Castillo | - As a weight loss coach, one of the first questions I ask most clients is how much of their total joy in life comes from food and food-related activities. When the percentage is high, I understand why they are having a hard time losing weight. I have worked with hundreds of clients who get too much of their happiness from food.

    By: Patty Harder | - Where are you on the blah scale? If number one is bedridden and number 10 is on top of the world, do you operate at a constant five? Characterized as not bad, but not good either, five is the number that many of us spend years of our lives living.

    The problem with five (or three or four) is that you can stay there for a long, long time and not even realize that it's a bad thing. At five, you go through the motions of each day, wondering why life isn't very joyful and why you're ...

With tongue in cheek, he spent about fifteen minutes offering some very witty examples. For instance, he pointed out that we call goods transported on the sea CARgo, but those same goods transported on land are called a SHIPment.

    He then asked the rhetoric question "why do we park in DRIVEways"? He had the audience in stitches as he ran through a list of oxymoronic terms and misplaced w ...

We were talking about defining what I offer people. In the context of this newsletter the tagline, "Health, power, and joy for smart women", is strong, I think, until one gets to the word joy.
