Day 1,125 – Finding Joy in the Journey – Wednesday – 12/2/2020
Signs and Quotes
I have many signs and quotes on my wall. I seem to acquire them in the right timing to remind me a valuable lesson when I need it. This is one I was given several years ago as I was making some major transitions in my life and is still one of my favorites.
I feel blessed as there are a lot of really great things happening for me right now personally and professionally. I do believe everything I’ve been through has gotten me to this moment of truly embracing me for who I am and giving my gifts back to the world. I am excited about the next year and all that is to come.
One of my new daily practices is a five-minute meditation focusing on what I want my life to look like one year from today. It’s a powerful tool and I am very excited about the opportunities as we close out 2020 and venture into 2021.

About “Finding Joy”
And I’m off…. the 16-day adventure begins. The timing of this trip is interesting so I’m naming it “Finding Joy in the Journey.” I’ll be doing one dedicated post each day (at the end of the day or next morning). Since I typically post more than once a day, you’ll find it as a black and white photo. I’ll share the joy of the journey (on the trip or through this season), where I’m finding it and what I’m learning. I hope to inspire myself along the way. And if I can inspire others too, that would be a gift. So let the journey begin…
It was November 2017 and I was ready to head off on a sixteen-day trip. Nine days before leaving, my mom unexpectedly passed away from a heart attack. It shook me to my core. I had always been told the 40’s are the best years of your life. And in a matter of three years, since turning the age of 40, I had gone through a divorce and lost both parents.
I contemplated canceling the trip though I knew my mom would not be happy with that decision. She would want me to continue living my life. My parents did not raise me to sit back and watch life; instead to fully participate in every moment. So I promised my parents to find joy in the journey everyday on my sixteen-day trip and share my experience with others.
Little did I know what “Finding the Joy in the Journey” would turn into when I acted on the prompting to share my experience on a daily basis. It helped me see life differently and my wish is that it will inspire others find joy in their journey.
