Day 35

Today is Day 35 of my 75 days of summer.  The purpose of this blog is to track my efforts to experience more of what is uniquely my joy in my life.  I want to cultivate my joy, grow it and live it.  When I do that I thrive.  When I’m passive about my own…

Day 21

Tuesday was Day 21 of my 75 days of summer.  The purpose of this blog is to document my efforts to experience more joy this summer.  I want to claim what makes me happy. I’ve struggled in my life with workaholism.  This is a way to numb conflicting or unsettling emotions.  There are myriad other…

Day 20

Monday was the 20th day of my 75 days of summer project.  My purpose is to be mindful about my joy.  I want to pay attention to what brings me joy and what blocks my joy.  I want to claim my joy. I managed to recalibrate — pull myself together and reset my course! —…

Day 19

Sunday was Day 19 of my 75 days of summer.  The purpose of this blog is to document my efforts to experience more joy this summer. To notice and to do what lights me up, rather than being passive about the role of joy in my life.  All on a budget of course. For most…

Day 18

Saturday was Day 18 of my 75 days of summer.  I’m writing this blog to document my efforts to follow my bliss this summer, to follow my joy.

Day 16

Thursday was Day 16 of my 75 days of summer.  I’m focusing my efforts on experiencing more joy in my life.    I think this is the same as focusing on being more “me”.  And I’m noticing as I write this blog and becoming more mindful about experiencing joy, that I’m becoming…. happier.  A little…

Day 15

Wednesday was Day 15 of my 75 days of summer.  I’m writing this blog to document my efforts to experience more joy.  All of us deserve to follow our unique bliss; all of us were meant to have abundant joy. Looking back now, I barely remember Wednesday.  And I think I know why.  I think…

Day 14

Tuesday was Day 14 of my 75 days of summer.   I’m writing this blog to document my efforts to actively experience more joy in my life.  I don’t want to stand on the sidelines of my life.  I want my heart to sing its song. The great thing is that writing this blog is causing…

Day 13

Monday was Day 13 of my 75 days of summer.  I’m writing this blog to document and to help me keep my focus on experiencing more joy this summer. I want to live my life more, to merely go through the paces, less. Monday was…. a day.   But I did get back to yoga (hot…

Day 12

Sunday was Day 12 of my 75 days of summer.  The purpose of this blog is to capture my efforts to really live my life this summer, to experience joy, rather than being passive about it. That being said, I must admit that Sunday was not a joyful day.  After two late nights I was…

Day 11

Day 11 of my “75 Days of Summer” was Saturday.  The purpose of this blog is to document my focus on actively living — rather than passively existing — and experiencing joy, over 75 days of summer.  All while pinching my pennies, of course. Saturday saw me at a Cowboy Junkies concert which was… free. …
