Why Choose Joy?
On June 24, 2003, my 43rd birthday, I woke up the exhausted and in pain, like I had felt for years. I resigned myself to being overweight, unhappy and unhealthy. I felt isolated, ashamed, overwhelmed and defeated. I felt like a victim of my circumstances, with no way to turn my life around. I had given up hope.
But that day was different. Why? That was the day someone saw for me what I couldn’t see anymore for myself…hope. Hope that more was possible. That was just the beginning of a dramatic life transformation! My desire is to be the catalyst you need to make lasting, positive change. I hope I can inspire you to create your JoyFull Life. I hope to give you the encouragement, guidance and resources to not only build your JoyFull Life, but also to share that Joy with others – The JoyFull Life Project!
That day changed my life because I made a choice. I chose an attitude and life full of Joy. How about you? How about those you care about?
So ask yourself this, “If I knew I couldn’t fail, what would I want my life to look like?”
How would you be feeling? What would you be doing? Who’s lives would be impacted by your decision to be on purpose creating a JoyFull Life? Would you want to be the one helping others find Joy?
The Six Elements of a JoyFull Life

Mind
A healthy mind and attitude are integral to creating a JoyFull Life. Your outlook affects your job, your social life, your relationships, experiences, and even your physical health.

How many of your choices are limited by finances? Release yourself from that burden and stress. Healthy finances gives you more choices about your quality of life.
Relationships
We are all social beings who need a sense of partnership and community. Every aspect of our life is enhanced when we can share it with someone who cares.

Activities that bring you joy, no matter what they are. Maybe it’s scratching something off the Bucket List or something as simple as a stroll through your neighborhood.
