I am back…

And I know… I’m overdue with JOY Sessions (I was so busy with family and new friends last week – I was living the theme of these next 5 joy sessions – joy in being – SOCIAL)… I’m super keen to catch up and ensure all the JOY ACTIVSTS and JOY SUPPORTERS out there, have their regular sessions of love and laughter to enjoy…

So this week… expect 2 entries a day…

here’s no 1 – just click  JOY SESSION Day 21 – Brought to you by Nikki Jackman & The UP

with my love and gratitude

I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know –                                                                                                                                            but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.                                                        I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.                          Virginia Satir (American Phychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)
