big birthday wish to @Rachel Bents today, hope you have an amazing birthday

Alright, JOY Project 💛 We start tomorrow. No more talking about it. No more thinking about it. 👉 One joyful text a day. That’s the practice. Here’s exactly how this works: Each day: 1. Send one message 2. Let someone know they matter 3. Come back here and drop: Sent ✅ on your own post. That’s it. This is not about being perfect. This is not about writing something profound. This is about: 👉 showing up 👉 reaching out 👉 creating connection on purpose Because most people are not lacking information… They’re lacking being seen. We’re building toward 1,000,000 people doing this daily. But it starts with us. Tomorrow. If you haven’t already: 👉 Go start a post “I’m in 💛” and let us all know Then think about this: 💬 Who are you texting tomorrow? Have one person in mind. Tomorrow, we begin. Let’s go 💛📱

How are we showing up this week?

Tell me I’m not alone… I don’t watch basketball all year. Like… not even a little. And then March Madness hits and suddenly I’m ALL IN. Brackets. Buzzer beaters. Full emotional investment in teams I learned about 6 minutes ago. I just turned on a game and KY hit a 3 at the buzzer to send it to OT and I was pacing my living room like I’ve been a lifelong fan 😆 There’s something about these moments… The unpredictability. The energy. The collective excitement. It’s joy. Instant, shared, electric joy. 👇 Be honest: Are you a year-round fan… or a March-only superfan like me? 🏀✨

It doesn’t always look like belly laughs, dance parties, or big wins. Sometimes… it’s quiet. A deep breath that actually lands. A warm cup of coffee you notice. A text that makes you feel a little less alone. And sometimes - this part matters - joy exists in the same space as grief. You can miss someone deeply… and still laugh at a memory. You can be walking through something heavy… and still feel a moment of lightness. That doesn’t mean you’re ignoring the hard stuff. It means you’re human. Joy doesn’t cancel grief. It sits beside it. Soft. Steady. Available. So today, don’t go chasing big, loud joy. Just notice what’s already here. 👇 Joy prompt: What’s one small, quiet moment of joy you experienced recently? Share it below. Let’s remind each other that joy doesn’t have to be big to be real. ✨
