A Little about us…

Joytending is the art of tending to our lives to bring about Joy. Joy can be spontaneous without thought or effort or joy can be hard to find in life and isn’t always a simple thing to achieve, however joy can be cultivated and tended like a plant in our garden and out of that practice we begin finding Joy everywhere. Sometimes this requires a positive focus and at other times it requires us to attend to other emotions in our lives.

Our mission is to provide a positive and joyous place in which to grow and learn. This does not mean we will never cry together, or share the things that make life hard because suffering is a part of life. What it is meant to be is a place to offer wisdom and support to each other but to always find our way back to joy.

In order to be effective in our lives we need to take care of ourselves first so we are grounded From that strong and stable standpoint we are better able to help our family, friends, our community and our world. I hope for this to be a place to come for Joy, Meaning and Connection.

In our friendship, may we gain wisdom and community through the spiritual, emotional, and physical elements of living. We will discuss topics on cultivating joy by giving to others, giving to ourselves, intentional living, physical and emotional well-being, connection, and even some nutrition and social awareness.

We define spiritual as any practice that brings you peace, wholeness and brings you back in connection with yourself and the world around you. It may be communing with nature, science, a higher self or higher power that brings you this sense of peace and connection. We welcome all people and beliefs and will do our best to provide inspiring messages that will fill us at our core or at the very least give us food for thought. If a message goes against your chosen belief system I ask that you respect its message for others and just keep scrolling to other meaningful posts that do speak to you.  I do welcome positive questioning. It is through questioning we learn to see life from other perspectives.

We welcome you to join us on our Journey to a well tended, Joy-filled Life!
