oh joy; I forgot about ya there for a minute

We made some big decisions this week, and then shocker!! We actually acted on them quickly. We have a plan for this summer, a bit of a "no plan" plan but I wouldn't have it any other way. We will be heading out on May 30th and leaving LA on a big ole roadtrip. Destination? Minnesota in the summertime! Mission? To find our new hometown!

On today's episode I talk about how joy can be enough to move you forward, if you actually have the gumption to acknowledge it. I was sitting trying to figure out why this plan feels so good vs. some of the other alternatives that we had discussed and I realized it was only because it felt so joyful. I forget about joy. I kind of make of fun of it sometimes or belittle it or mistake it for something else.

I've learned this year that of course there is no "wrong way" but lately I've felt that the path paved with the joy that is unique to you (this is important because your joy isn't mine) is the path that leads to your highest and best. Joy has a self-sustaining energy - it's weird. It's spacious. It allows so much of the unexpected to arrive and it makes the ego really uncomfortable so that's always a plus!

Annnnd, it's arrival can be enough to set us on a course towards something surprising and wonderful. Even if that surprise is just that we set down the laundry and went for a hike instead. It still counts my friends.
