In my ongoing series of affirmations to use, here are 3 for having more JOY in your life.
I especially like number 3. ๐
When I saw this quote the other day, I KNEW that it was a keeper! I absolutely love it!
What I really like about it is that you could exchange the word ‘fear’ for other words and it still works.
For example: “Your happiness is 100% dependent on you for its survival.” ๐
“Your JOY is 100% dependent on you for its survival.”
And sure other people can bring us JOY and happiness but if we cannot receive or see it, WE stop ourselves from experiencing it.
As for the fear one, just reading this quote and pondering on it brings me freedom. I do not have to let fear live in my mind rent free! I can got off its source of energy.
One of the best ways to shift from fear is to focus on love and gratitude. This instantly helps one to start shifting from vibrating at the level of fear and to start to move up the emotional and energetic ladder.
I have written about working with your thoughts to help with this as well. Here are a few links to past blogs posts that might help you if you are struggling with any of this:
I hope that you have found this helpful and that you strive to live fearlessly and in

And here is a little bonus video I made for you on the topic of FEAR.
Tips on Fear & Anxiety
A young boy and his little sister who is holding a cat, in 1937. They both have huge smiles on their faces.
My friend Suanne shared this picture last year on Facebook. It is a picture of her father and his little sister in 1937. I just love it and think the world needs to both see and enJOY it.
And please if you have any warm and fuzzy, heart lifting, bringing pictures of times gone by or even right now, please share them with me if you like and we can spread some ๐ฅ๐๐ด with others.
I shared a quote on Facebook today, along with some additional thoughts of my own.
“Every situation in life is temporary. So, when life is good, make sure you enJOY and receive it fully. And when life is not so good, remember that it will not last forever and better days are on the way.” Anonymous
And if you want to take it to the next level, try to EnJOY it even when it is not so called “Good” … we can never get lost time back so let’s squeeze as much JOY out of EVERY moment that we can even when it is challenging. When it seems hard to do, look for things to be grateful for, think of who you Love and who Loves you, Smile at Beautiful memories, send Inspiration and Hope to others, listen to Happy music, take pictures of the sky, notice how blue the sky is, Love up your pet, drink a glass of water all while appreciating that you have clean water to drink, …… the list is endless. Use your internal power and focus wisely.ย
Can you add to this list? Why not get out a pen and paper or grab your phone and use your Note feature to jot down some more things. I promise you if you do, you will feel so good and that sounds pretty darn good right about now, doesn’t it? ๐
Just be YOU! It really can’t get any simpler than this. We are supposed to be who we ARE!
I don’t even consider things as flaws, but hey if you want to call them that, who am I to stop you. ๐
Be Free. Be YOU!
Love to all!
Maggie

I truly believe that JOY is our birthright. I believe that we are on earth to experience JOY and to enJOY being JOYous beings.
One of the easiest ways to access JOY is through beauty and appreciating beauty. It can be as simple as your favorite cup or as big as travelling to an exotic place to see the ocean’s view for the first time.
Beauty is all around us and we can see it when we look. (ใฃโโกโ)ใฃ

My friend Teresa texted me this picture today. It’s from about 15 years ago when her kids were little.
I must admit I do not remember this moment so thank goodness for pictures once again, but I just LOVE this picture. It radiates pure JOY and it just lifts my heart and spirit to even look at it.
I say often that JOY is our birthright. JOY is Sweet. JOY is Juicy. And JOY is great for the soul!
I hope you welcome and embrace more moments of JOY into your life.

A mistake is just another way of doing things.
Me: Maggie Holbik ๐
I like to think there are no mistakes. Everything that we experience is just that … an experience. We experience something and then we choose and decide if we wish to experience it again.
I like to think of these ‘experiences’ as gifts to show me what I no longer want in my life or what I want to add more of into my life. Pretty simple right? โฅ And it is. โฅ
The least amount of time we spend living with regret or remorse, the more time we have to fast track in the things we want and that bring us more โฅ JOY โฅ
I know it is not always easy, especially when we are in fear or emotional pain, but I think by even declaring or understanding this concept, it helps. At least it does for me and I hope it does for you too.
So that’s all for today. Have an amazing day now or if you are reading this in the future. And if you are reading this in the future future and I am no longer in and of this world know that my spirit has your back ๐
๐ฅโฏ๐ด is our birthright yet many of us have trouble tapping into JOY. JOY is one of the highest frequencies available to us and is well worth pursuing. Download my free ebook on “Finding JOY” so that you can start adding more JOY into your days, life and into the world. The world needs more JOY and one by one we can make a difference. I hope you EnJOY this short but powerful book that I have prepared just for YOU! ๐

This is a picture I made with my Christmas tree in the background. I love looking at the Christmas tree and thinking about all of the Love that has surrounded it over the years. Of course, each ornament has significance and makes the tree even more special because of them.
I sometimes just sit and think about many people’s Christmas trees and how they display a lifetime of stages and memories. As I gaze at my own tree, which is right beside me now, I see ornaments given to me by my mother who passed in 1993. I see a few “Baby’s First Christmas”. I see handmade ornaments by my daughter. I see ornaments made each year for Sivanna, my daughter, by her Grandmother by Heart, Joyce. I see many ornaments with special memories….. too many to list.
But what I see most of all, is LOVE. The warmth and glow of the tree and the fire reminds me of that inner and outer glow of Love. We gather in Love, we celebrate in Love and we Rejoice in Love.

Every year I host Christmas Eve at my house and this year was spectacular! Everyone had fun and there were smiles and Love all around. I know why though. I know the secret to why it was so wonderful and why it gets better every year…. it’s because we are appreciating it and each other more and more every year and it just makes it more enriched each and every year.
One of my most favorite things to see is the tradition being instilled in my daughter. As we prepare for the occasion she automatically knows to get out the serving platter for the turkey, our special cutting board given to us by Baba, aka Big Audrey (because there is a little Audrey), the fine china and to tidy the bathroom and whatever else we need to do. At these times I smile with my heart and it swells in the knowing that she will one day be fondly sharing memories of times past and of how much Love and JOY were in them. And the she too will be hosting the next generation with Love in her heart too!
Here I am in my kitchen with ‘the cutting’ board and my Santa apron given to me also by Baba one yearl
When I am long gone from this world, I would want anyone reading this who knows and loves me and has been a part of these glorious occasions to know how much I Love putting these on and preparing the food with Love for all of you to enJOY. My eyes are leaking as I type this and I am grateful that I can write things like this to express my feelings of JOY and APPRECIATION. I am also grateful for all of you in my life who Love me and show me all the time. I love you all!
Merry Christmas and may you always celebrate with JOY in your heart!
