I used to believe joy had to be earned—after the dishes, after the job, after someone said I was enough. But I’m over 60 now, and I’ve stopped waiting for permission.
Thank you! I love that you're here—and yes, joy has no gender, no expiration date, and definitely no strings attached. Here’s to claiming more of it, unapologetically.
Sometimes I feel like you and I lived parallel lives. I, too, had daily chores. But I don't remember ever hoping for any type of praise because there was endless chores and endless criticism. I eventually, like you, had to learn over time to praise myself, to value myself and to come to the realization that the most precious praise would come from within, from my own heart.
Greetings from a joyful 68 year old Irish woman-girl living in London. I love following you - you’re wonderful! Will have to rebudget to upgrade to paid but it will happen!
Ohhh my heart! Greetings right back to you, you radiant Irish woman-girl! ☘️✨ You just made my morning. Thank you for being here and for bringing your joy with you. No rush at all on upgrading—your presence is already a gift. I’m so glad we’ve found each other in this wild little corner of the internet.
Nice one Monica 👏 I’m not a woman, but I am over 60 and I like your idea of giving oneself permission to seek out joy with no strings attached.
