In life, do not just be ordinary, but be extraordinary believing that all things are possible to those who believe. Dare to be different, be confident in who God made you to be because if you\'re busy being someone else, who\'s busy being you? Follow your own passion and destiny and it will lead to victory!

Thank you Wally Amos for being the most caring, nurturing, loving individual to share your insights to others to live a positive life.

Joy is knowing in my heart that there are people like Wally Amos who give of themselves freely to bring light and love to people\'s lives. To be able to thank individuals each and every time you\'re given a blessing is a gift in itself. So I thank Wally Amos for being there and emailing me during the time that I needed someone to hear my voice and sending me messages to get through my difficult times. It has been awhile since I had emailed him but I had not forgotten his generosity of time and comforting words. May God bless him and his work and for all the goodness he brings to this world.

We now know that happiness is generated by peace / peace of mind / stillness of heart. It is called \'happeace\'. This is JOY for us all.

JOY; My children have grown up to be able to spend a few week in the absence of their mother. Hey, new grown-ups! Congratulations! Welcome to the hard but wonderful times!

May you too find joy and inspiration through music and dance. MM

Joy is a sprit only from God. In the Bible Joy comes in the morning and that lasts all day and then some. Leon J. Wright

Waking up every morning to find my husband, who has serious health issues, smiling next to me. He is my greatest joy.

Dancing and singing at the top of my lungs to the inspirational soundtrack, The Preacher's Wife, I bought for myself.

It was once said that, "An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.". I believe that joy only comes when you put aside everything just to be gracious, good, and thoughtful people, giving people your love without asking for anything in return, and giving love to those who give only hate. If you give them love, most importantly, it will give them more to give to others.

My joy comes to me each time my husband walks in the door. He has been my strength and only constant for the past 20 years.

My joy is in REALLY remembering what a great life I have.
