That was the insight I had too after my life changing illness - at a time when it felt everything was going wrong in my life, I knew, without knowing how, that there was nothing wrong and there is joy, no matter what.
Seemed like craziness at the time but over the last 7 years, it has become integrated.
I've been saving reading this post for some reason but read it tonight. About 4 years ago I learned the phrase "it happened exactly how it was supposed to happen...because that's the way it happened" and it took me awhile to accept this. But it's true. This was a great reminder.
Funny, that same sort of thing is happening to me. Wisdom I've heard and sort of understood for years is suddenly becoming so clear, so fluid, so accessible.
Hi Amy,
That was the insight I had too after my life changing illness - at a time when it felt everything was going wrong in my life, I knew, without knowing how, that there was nothing wrong and there is joy, no matter what.

I CHOOSE JOY
A thousand times a day
I squander joy
A thousand times a day
I argue
Giving what you say
What they do
Power
To veil the radiance
I am made of
A thousand times a day
I choose again
Remembering the ocean of bliss
In which I swim
No longer willing to pay
The ransom
The lie that I am not
Already free
I choose joy
A thousand times a day.
Much love to you Amy 🌹
Oh, Susan. What a beautiful poem - like an outpouring of flow joy!
I, too, choose and lose joy a thousand times a day. What a journey of love/not love we are on. What a life we get to live!
Do you know the song Holy Now by Peter Mayer? Sums it all up for me. 🌹

I've missed you!
I hope the deer are doing all right.
Thank you for this light today. xo
Thank you, Beverly. 🙏❤️
This was such a lovely read Amy. My take away line is "How do I know it’s meant to happen? she asks. Because it’s happening."
Blessings and warmth back to you x
Thank you, Tracey. How lovely to meet you. :)
Beautiful....have found my peace in similar ways. The writing about the deer and your messages to them touched me deeply. xo
Thank you, friend sister companion on this walk we are taking. ❤️
It's a gorgeous walk w us x
Amy, this is so *you* - perhaps joy and authenticity both arise from Love . . .
Love and blessings received, and mine back to you.
Hello dear you.
Xxoo❤️❤️
Absolutely gorgeous. I am in the same place, and felt this deeply. Thank you Amy. Much love.
I am feeling your latest posts deeply as well. We are miles apart and also together. Love you. ❤️
