A little bit of Joyful Support directly in your inbox!
This week, we are looking at the little things in life that can bring us joy to push us to the end of the year. Whether thats the twinkling lights on a tree, advice that makes us smile, or Dawn Soap spray that makes life a little easier – take the wins you can.
Let’s Jump In!
Joy Happenings
I (Lacey) am sitting here writing this in a dark room to be able to watch the lights on my Christmas tree twinkle. It brings me joy (I talk about it a bit on this week’s No Shame In The Home Game), and its some of the most simple joy I’ve had for a while.
This past week has been rough for me. I shared a bit about it on social media this week because frankly, I hit a pretty solid low. Only to follow up that low with a cold/cough/who knows what, that has made me pretty incapacitated.
All of the bad happened and is still happening (as I cough and need to take a break from typing), but there is still this twinkling moment of joy. We talk about how Joy is the fuel to get you to the next day in our Joyful Support Course and man, the joy of these twinkling lights is the stop at the gas station I needed.
What’s the best advice someone has given you that still makes you smile?
My Grandma (Lacey) always made the best pies. She always insisted that buying the Pillsbury Pie Crusts (their brand – the generics aren’t up to snuff) were just as good as making yours at home so to not worry about the time or effort into making it from scratch. This always made me smile because there is some serious sass behind it and something I appreciate even more now looking to make my own life easier.
Sara’s grandmother once said after hand washing the dishes ‘And now we let God do the drying’ and it still makes me smile. It wasn’t about the religious connection, but that there are areas of life to put in the effort and other areas we can sit back and let the easy unfold.
As always – share yours on social media tagging Joyful Support Movement, in the Joyful Support Village, or just by responding to this email!
I’ll be honest, I have no idea what is happening in this photo but it was so bizarre and I couldn’t not put it in here.
This past week on No Shame in the Home Game, we continued Amy’s journey with ADHD and meal planning. Discover practical strategies for creating a more functional kitchen space, from simple environment tweaks to innovative visual aids that make meal prep less overwhelming. Amy shares her victories in maintaining a cleaner kitchen and reveals her clever magnet system for tracking available food items. Plus, we’ve included a link to the Dawn Spray mentioned in the episode for those looking to upgrade their dish-washing game!
Don’t forget, our 7-Day Easy Challenge is kicking off January 2nd! Sign up now to commit to making 2025 your easiest year yet. We are adding to the resources available and have a list of 100 actions you can take to make life easier!
Remember to take those small moments of joy where you can find them. They are the fuel that keeps us going.
