Empower yourself! Yeah, I know, easier said than done, right? But it is easy enough to do if done one bit at a time.  Acknowledging we have the ability to make the choices we feel are best for ourselves is probably one of the first steps.  This particularly applies to how we might choose to react to something that has happened to us, or that we might create for ourselves. It doesn't matter if that reaction is positive or negative, as much as how we deal with those.  We can choose to dwell on the negative, rant about the issue and/or stay stuck in that frustration, anger and irritation. However, we also have the freedom to decide to move out of that negative and find something positive in that event. There might also be a lesson to learn from it, and even perhaps to share those lessons with another.  I do believe we can learn from those experiences exactly what works for us in bringing, and keeping, joy in our lives.  I am not saying you will be 'happy, happy, joy, joy' every day, all the time, but it is an encouraging idea to think we can tip the scale in that direction, if we only choose to.  We can make lemonade out of the lemons life hands to us, but we have to choose to add the sweet so we don't have just bitter lemon water. 

I would love to hear your sparks of joy, especially when you have turned around that negative to a positive! Email me at phxgodess@gmail.com, or leave a voice message (link below), and I'll share it on the next podcast.

I look forward to lots of Sparks of Joy!

Namaste,
