Navigating Joy Together

By: Lauren Mark Addison and Hunter Raymond
  • Summary

  • We are a family like every other family. We have high points, low points, and struggles. The goal is to start and end our day joyfully. We will be sharing our successes, trials, and tribulations, questions or situations that come up in our family or in each of our lives. We will also share how we support each other in dealing with life struggles. Our intent is to create a take-away of how we problem solve a bad situation into a joyful one.

  • Joy Through Art with Intention with Jennifer Colombo
    Dec 19 2024

    Send us a text

    Jennifer Faye Colombo is a watercolor artist living in Connecticut. Her intention is to give the viewer an opportunity to tune into calm, peace and joy through her various collections. Jen is super grateful to live near the water, her happy place that influences many of her paintings. In addition to painting, Jen creates journals and card decks to support others on their journey. A Pocket Full of Joy is one of her card decks created as reminders to find joy daily including the little moments.

    Her Card Deck was written by accident after writing different affirmations and reminders for herself. If she needed the reminders to tap in and tune into joy daily, then others need that too. She always thought that JOY was the bigger thing in life, like our JOYFUL occasions but there are little things throughout the day that can bring us JOY and if we take a pause and start to notice them. Some examples: noticing the dew drops on the blade of grass or a delightful conversation can add up to big JOY moments!

    You could just spend a few seconds to tap into JOY.

    She loves sharing her paintings with others. Sharing her art with others is how she serves others in bringing JOY into their lives.

    She creates general art and personal art for people. Her work has intentions behind it. Jen always asks her clients to set an intention with her of why they want her to work with them. Setting the intentions makes a deeper, more impactful feeling for those who view the art.

    One general piece of art she shares with others are her ¨Joyful Bubble¨ paintings. She receives lots of comments on how happy they make people. It brings back memories of playing with bubbles and a reminder to tune into those bubbles of joy.

    She is the conduit to pass that joyful energy onto the page. Her clients and her are co-creating together even though she is the one doing the artwork.

    She also creates creative exploration with others. She gets them to tap into their own creative flow. It can be artwork, or setting intentions. People find it relaxing, fun, playful and JOYFUL! Creating SHOULD be fun!

    Jen always creates for herself to help her move through emotions. It is for her own pure JOY and entertainment.

    How else does Jen tap into JOY when she is not in that flow?

    • She pulls from her own card deck
    • Painting
    • Going down to the beach
    • Put on music
    • Dance partners

    Her last piece of advice:
    ¨Everyday be conscious of cultivating JOY in your life.¨
    Ask the question:

    What brings me JOY and can I do that today?

    Such a powerful conversation with Jen!

    Dec 5 2024

    In this episode, I interview Jason Wolbers. Jason is a successful business owner, husband, dad, positive influencer, and author of the book The Power of a Positive Mindset! His purpose is to help people to develop and maintain a more positive mindset and all around outlook in life!

    Jason shares how he grasped onto this positive lifestyle after being anxiety ridden for many years when he was younger. He also shares his inspiration for his book and how he supports others in living a more positive, joyful, life.

    A lot of what Jason talks about are things I believe in and have even practiced myself. But it is always great to hear it again as it reminds us of things we might not being doing currently or have let slip away.

  • Dinner Dialogues: The Arch Nemesis; Cleaning the House and More
    Nov 21 2024

    I love our family dinners! This is the time for us to connect about our day, what is happening personally and to hold family meetings. Our favorite place to hold these meetings is at the dinner table.

    This week we discuss our puppy, Pearl, who is getting into items that are left out, specifically food. We also discuss with the kids their future in their orchestra for the remainder of the school year, and finally how to make some changes in cleaning up things that do not get cleaned up regularly by ALL of us!

    Why are we discussing all of this? So Mom does NOT have to keep nagging everyone about it. Yep, I do because clean up does not get done and violin practice is NOT happening consistently! We all know that nagging is a huge JOY CRUSHER! Who wants to be nagged? And who wants to nag?

    You will hear how we navigate these topics with the kids and as a family, keeping the emotion low and the fun up all the while coming to some conclusions!

    As always, we would love to hear what you took away from this episdoe, so reach out to me. (See below for ways to do that)

    Finally, send this episode to ONE person you know would like this episode. We would be incredibly grateful!!
