Joy is an indicator of how far you've wondered off your path (i.e. when joy is missing in your life).

Whew. This lands for sure. No more conditions before joy is allowed to be felt. No more waiting.

Powerful talk! I agree with 1000% Now, I make time for following things that bring me joy and that light me up. ChatGPT says “Joy is your system’s yes. Chronic depletion is your system’s no.” 👏

I'm feeling immensely grateful that I discovered you, after looking through your offerings here. Your focus really resonates with me. Mary 🧎‍♀️🦋🙏✨️
