AH!! We went beyond 60 patrons!!!! This has never happened before, the heck! Thank you so much. ;_; I am moved, grateful and inspired ❤️ Thank you for all your feedback and ideas on what this space could be going forward. I have so many ideas now, and can't wait until I can truly jump in. I would love to record some book-reading or night time stories for you. Maybe record a vlog? And perhaps send you little love-letter-like friend-posts! (If that makes any sense haha!) We'll figure it all out in time.

Right now I'm prepping to leave my home for two weeks. I'm super anxious about being away from Kovu and Junimo for that long (dw they'll be in the safe hands of my flatmate - who they love), but I am reminding myself that this will open up my life and it's an incredible opportunity that I can stay with my brother and get help from him. It'll be really tough and intense, but when I can come back (and ace those exams) - I can rest! It will be worth it. It is a big step in the direction of unlocking my horse dream.

I have been out of my cocoon for a little while, but now it's time to test these wings.

Time to do be in discomfort and stay outside my comfort zone for quite a while. See how well these bad boys will fly (my metaphorical wings that is), and what I need to work more on. Thankfully I've gathered a lot of tools that I believe will help me navigate and stabilise the oh so unsteady - and well, do this. 🌼

Eeek! 

Do you have anything outside of your comfort zone that you'd like to do? Anything you wish you'd do or try or explore if it didn't feel quite as scary or unexplored? And is there any baby steps you can take towards this, tools you could gather or help you could ask for? Any way you could simply expand your comfort zone to touch the edges to what is scary? Or would you prefer to just dive right in, head first?

Talk soon! OH and, I had to include a photo of Kovu and I snuggling ❤️ Man I am going to break from how much I will miss him while I'm gone. When he forgives me I hope we will cuddle for days.

Love you! 

Hugs, Joy

My parents always tell me: try your best because you can't do more than that. As long as you've tried to the best of your abilities you never fail, you only learn. Right now I'm stepping out of my comfort zone by going to guitar lessons to try and eventually be good enough to play a full song. I've just been to my first lesson and right now that goal seems like it's far away but certainly not unachievable. By taking it day by day, keeping my mental and physical needs in mind and not letting the difficulty of the path beyond my goal get me down I am now looking optimistically at what at first might have seemed impossible.

Applying to a job the other day was scary but I did it! (still haven’t heard back just yet but I don’t care if I get it either way, I already gained some confidence just with the application!) I also really need to start my driving lessons soon too. I have been putting it off for a long time but it is necessary for me for multiple reasons and all it takes is that first step. You have really inspired me, knowing that you are taking this step too, and I will be signing up for lessons soon :)) I wish you the absolute best of luck, Joy. You are such an incredible, talented, and DESERVING human being and I am so inspired and proud of you and your outlook on life. You genuinely provide such powerful words of wisdom whether you know it or not. I aim to be more like you. (Also you and Kovu look so unbelievably adorable and cozy I let out an audible “awww omg”. ily both :D)
