How has it already been 3 months of 2020?! And how has this world become so crazy?! LOL

No matter where you are in the world, you’re probably experiencing some fear and worry. Things are a whirlwind and it can be easy to feel overwhelmed.

If this sounds like you, please take some time for yourself to create JOY. You have so many powers, and creating joy is one of the most incredible! Why? Because when we’re low and depressed we feel hopeless. That’s not good. Hopelessness leads to desperation, drastic measures, and can affect our choices and even our relationships. But YOU can be the hero of your own story and save yourself from fear! All it takes is some dedication and conscientious choices to do some good for YOU!

Here are some simple ideas to take a break from the stress, create some joy and feel hope…
