New-Her Middle Name Is Joy

“Her Middle Name Is Joy”

Some babies are cheerful from the start. They are happy to be alive and wave at every stranger they see. Others are afraid of being abandoned, hungry, or cold. Joy was one of these until she discovered the magic of her own thoughts. While she didn’t have the power to make her parents happy, she did possess an amazing ability. She started playing a game. Like an explorer seeking new lands, Joy hunted happiness. It could be a butterfly, a sunrise, puppy breath, or a friend next door.

Every day she placed her focus on at least one object or thought that triggered feelings of happiness. Soon, the universe conspired to support her hunt for happiness. She saw it everywhere she looked!

Joy realized unhappy things happened, such as her father losing his job or a boyfriend moving out of town. She decided that no condition or event would rob her of happiness. She wouldn’t let that happen!

Her parents gave her two names at birth. By her 20s, Joy gave herself a third and placed it in the middle of a name she was proud to carry.

I see Janeann Drawing

She might not see herself as I do. I see her in all her shiny youth, full of wonder and intention. I see her soft, tender heart. I see her sharp mind and active thoughts.

Most of all, I see the light emanating from Janeann; the light that no thought can diminish, no disappointment can dim, and no fear can erase.

I see the light that IS Janeann and pray that she sees it too.

The Wild Heart Drawings

In the mirror, she sees her grandmother staring back at her; grey hair, wrinkled skin and all. Young men open doors as she approaches. Drivers wave and wait for her to cross the street. Yet, in her heart, the woman lives wild and free, ready for whatever adventure life brings. Her ageless heart is like an instrument vibrating to the tune of her Divine Self.

In the mirror, she sees her grandmother. In her heart, she sees God’s beloved, a spark of the divine free of all earthly limitations.

Never be fooled by appearances. The old woman beside you might possess a wild heart ready to light the sky on fire.
