I’m always struggling with how much of my personal life I should share on this blog. Sometimes it’s very personal. (As “personal lives” tend to be!) I put this blog together specifically to illustrate how I apply the Joy Immersion Project to my own life and its challenges, and the conclusion I’ve come […]

We’re doing the Spring thing as often as we can lately, working to get our yard fixed up and comfy. I’ve planted some flower seeds, and am enjoying showing the process (and the miracle!) to my little boy. It sure was neat watching him today as he counted the fragile seedlings he helped plant. […]

I’ve been asked by several people how I’ve been doing since my last post on the subject of my mood, and I’m happy to say that there has been a marked improvement. I’m not at the “top of my game” so to speak, but I’m feeling definite improvements.
Probably the single-most important contributor […]

Isn’t it amazing how every so often people are brought into our lives at just the right time? A few weeks ago, I introduced you to a real-life friend of mine who blogs, (Crunchy) and she has since left a few comments on this blog that have led me to think about stuff I […]

As may be evident in my Daily Reports (to the right), I have been facing a bit of a personal challenge these past three weeks or so. I don’t know what is causing my blue days and mood swings, but three weeks is the longest I’ve had to deal with them in some time. […]

In Assignment #8, I included a prayer that I personally found to be very useful in my search for a higher power. There is another prayer that I have come across in the past year that has also proven to be extremely powerful. I first read it in Janice Walton-Hadlock’s writings, but it […]

I am very excited to announce that, thanks to my very good friend, Karoline Crawshaw* - translator extraordinaire - the Joy Immersion Project, its explanation, and the first assignment are now available on this site in German! This took an enormous amount of work on the part of a woman who doesn’t have much […]

I recently received the following story in an email. I did some research and could not find who originally authored the little parable (if you know, please tell me so I can give proper credit) but I just love the message. (It also fits in nicely with the current assignment!)
The only survivor of […]

I’ve just released Assignment #8! Swing on over and take a look.
For my fifteen minutes a day, I’m currently (and slowly) reading a book called “The Second Coming of Christ” by Paramahansa Yogananda. I am not of the Christian persuasion, per se, but I was led to this book (actually it’s two enormous […]
