There's More JOY To Be Found

So, I’m doing something crazy.

I’m posting videos
Of me
On Instagram.

For me that’s jump-out-of-a-plane crazy.


Okay, have to pause here and say

Dang, and I thought it was weird to put myself out there. To see my face and that’s interesting, is it not?

I live with my face each day and yet putting it out there, it’s super uncomfortable for this once hider. Maybe you can relate.

But back to my grid-filled-face… if you’re interested, do come press over on Instagram or simply keep reading and press play on Video 1 below.


Back to the idea of videos on IG being a bit cray-cray…

Not due to fear
Or even being judged so much.
Not any more, anyway…

But simply putting myself
And who I am out there.

Being vulnerable.
Exposed.

It’s like that dream so many of us have…
Walking naked onto the high school stage of your life
A nightmare you just can’t wake up from.
Can you relate?

Remind me to share that little ditty with you one day.
Not a high school moment for me
But exposed, for real, none the less…

Sharing for me was more of a who am I to do that, say that, be that?

Instead of asking the better question of Who Am I Not To?!

For it I don’t, someone else will…

And will they be as JOYful, impactful, in it to serve, as I am…

Who knows. Who cares.

All I know now is that
Who Am I Not To?!
is a much better Q
to ask myself
when I don’t want to lean
into the uncomfortable.

Try it and see how it feels…

Because my answer to that Q is a Hail-Mary Duh.
It’s an end-all to the excuses
And a b-all in with living this life full out.

Full Stop.

And I’ve retired the old stories of struggle I once tight-fisted.

And damn it feels good.

It’s like I recently said to a coaching client of mine, when he (finally) saw just how stuck he was in his old patterns, those he’d previously identified but fallen back into repeating.

“Are you tired yet of your old-ass-ways or not?”

When you can answer that with a Hell, yeah!
something shifts within
and a new you is left to bloom.

So, right now, I’m blooming.

And I’m sharing an easy way to access all the current videos, if you so desire to press play and discover more about JOY… and well, me.

I promise you’ll laugh, giggle and perhaps even snort while also taking away a nugget of wisdom or two.

Press Play On Day 1 of This Journey Into JOY now…
Then come join me on Instagram today to get immediate access to all.


I’m looking to up my IG number to 500 this month.

Might not sound like much in this day and age, and in the grand scheme of things it’s not… However, considering I was just at ZERO, ZILCH, ZIP… it’s celebration worthy.

And it’s my now-goal which you can help me achieve.

Join me on this amazing JOYful Journey!

Share, like and help me spread more JOY… you you dare.
