Are you all ready for some focused joy? I am!!!! It has been a week to say the least. I feel like we could all use an infusion of joy. So here is our joy challenge for the month – and it is an easy one
SURPRISE A FRIEND!!!!!
Okay, now I am always careful with surprises. We have to make sure it would be a good surprise to the recipient. For example, I got you a puppy, here are tickets to a sporting event, I booked us a spot at the campground…..would all be very, very bad surprises for me. So we have to make sure it is not something we like, but that the recipient would be excited about.
I got the sweetest surprise last week in the mail. You already know that surprise mail is one of my love languages well here’s what I got

My sweet friend Phyllene got me a bracelet with my Word of the Year on it!!!!!
It is a Gentle bracelet

It was totally unexpected, sweet, thoughtful and such a fun surprise to receive. She really made my day and I am loving wearing it.
So think through your friends. Who would really be shocked to get a fun surprise from you? Who would it mean the world to? Who have you been meaning to call but not gotten around to it?
Then do something that will make them happy. Be creative. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Pick your person and then give some real thought to what they would love and surprise them.
I have a feeling you will feel as much joy giving as they will receiving. It is a twofer Joy challenge!
Wishing you a joyful weekend. See you back on Wednesday!









So sweet.🥰🥰
