This morning I got up and went to the bathroom and took a moment to look out the window to the backyard. The sun was shining through the trees and I just took a minute to stop and be in gratitude for that exact moment.
I then intuitively felt the desire to fill my heart with sunshine before I started my day. And I actually felt it!
I thought “Wow, I will start my day like this more often”. I will connect with the sun and bring it into my heart and then start my day.

The question is why not happiness? ๐
For example when we desire things for other people like our children, we are really wanting them to just be happy……like wanting them to graduate from a good school, or to land a great job, underneath it all, what we really, really want is for them to be happy.
We want this for ourselves too. When we can show our children that we are happy, we teach them that happiness is natural. Many people today feel that happiness is some far away and unreachable place, and that is unfortunate.
โThere is no way to happiness.ย Happinessย is theย way.โ
Thich Nhat Hanh
. laugh at yourself
. laugh at life
. watch funny movies
. have a conversation with an upbeat friend who likes to joke and laugh
. make happiness a goal
. seek happiness (what you seek seeks you)
. show kindness toward others.. this always infuses happiness within us
. spend time with young children
. do art
. go skinny dipping
. walk in nature
. gaze at the stars
The list is endless. Do whatever helps to make you happy and happier. Do the things that bring you JOY!
I wish you nothing but happiness…. til next time.

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.
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
โฅ ENJOY โฅ and be โฅ INJOY โฅ

Life is a series of moments. It truly is the moments that will matter at the end of our lives. The moments when we loved others and were loved by others, the moments that bring smiles to our faces, the moments when our mouths are delighting in โฅ JOY โฅ from eating a delicious meal, the moments watching your child sleep, the moments when you read or see something that makes your heart lift… all of those moments matter.
Remember to make the moments matter and count the moments that matter.
