Awakening to Joy

A heartfelt reflection on how joy often arises not from grand milestones or curated experiences, but from the quiet, often overlooked moments of everyday life. Challenging the cultural narrative that equates happiness with achievement or materialism and instead invites us to rediscover joy in the gentle rhythms of daily living—sunlight through a window, laughter with a friend, the softness of solitude. Joy isn’t something to chase, but something to notice, nurture, and celebrate in the here and now.
