#FindingJOY
Blue, But Dancing

It is hard to find joy in the world these days. This piece embodies the idea of finding joy or lightness when things feel dark and unbearable.

I missed this am as I was at @coffeeoutside.bsky.social so I went after work. It’s packed! Who knew that Friday night at the gym was so popular.

This week has been the first week I’ve genuinely felt joy and peace in such a calm, genuine way. The early part of this year shattered me into a 1000 pieces (the crash was the end of a long road most folk didn’t see), but the healing has been the most incredible journey. #FindingJoy #FeelsGood 🙏🏽🥹❤️

Letting my emotions guide me. Yesterday, it was righteous anger. Today it is pure joy in spite of it all.

Only a weekend left of #FindingJoy and then we switch to #HumanContrasts in our quest to define and record the Life, Love, Joy & Pain of human existence.

(Or maybe we're just taking #photos.)
