What have you been doing lately to cultivate joy? And I don't mean just a bit of fun - I mean unfiltered, childlike, you-don't-care-who's-watching type of joy. Have you created that for yourself lately? I had the extreme privilege (thank you, Adam!) of attending night #1 of Beyonce's NY/NJ Cowboy Carter Tour at MetLife Stadium and I kid you not, I have not screamed/sang at the top of my lungs, danced, jumped and SMILED that big without having a care in the world who was witnessing in such a long time. I don't think anyone in that stadium cared about anything other than being fully present in the JOY that was witnessing such a superstar and her unbelievable team of dancers, musicians and crew put on a show of a lifetime. And the safe space it felt to just live and live joyfully in the moment through great music and great moves. Now of course, we can't just go to a concert like that every day (if only!) to create that sense of joy, but we certainly can work harder on cultivating that unfiltered joy on a more regular basis. I recently read someone preferred to say "make it a great day" rather than "have a great day" because we have the power to make it a great day, to cultivate that sense of joy, being fully present and fully alive. So, my wish for all of us this June is to make it joyful, make yourself feel alive, make yourself present and in turn, may that help you find a sense of peace. Sending big love to you all, always. In honor of Juneteenth, this month, 20% of our proceeds will be contributed to the Southern Poverty Law Center. "APATHY IS NOT AN OPTION." They fight racial justice issues such as strengthening democracy and voting rights, dismantling white supremacy, ending unjust imprisonment, and eliminating poverty and economic inequality. They started the movement in the South hoping to inspire change nationwide. Throughout history, the South has been a place of resilience, strength and transformation. Their mission begins there. When they empower communities, they lay the groundwork for a national movement that uplifts all people and drives meaningful progress for future generations. They have had landmark cases by offering legal advocacy that protects vulnerable communities and promotes equality across the nation. They have inspired by hope by pursuing every person's opportunity to live with dignity, free from discrimination and oppression. They track hate by monitoring over 1,500 active extremist groups and dismantling their influence while also promoting safety and justice nationwide. Join them as they create a future where justice, equality and opportunity are available to all. To learn more about their incredible work, visit their website: https://www.splcenter.org/
