A much needed reminder as we so often get caught up in our day to day lives. Thank you, Nedra ❤️ I’m looking forward to my family’s beach trip next month. My son doesn’t know yet, so I can’t wait to see his reaction.

This is such a beautiful reminder that anticipation itself is a kind of joy. It turns small, everyday moments into something special—a new episode, a quiet walk, even a freshly cleared countertop.

I love the idea of keeping a “looking forward to” list. It shifts my focus from what’s weighing me down to what’s lifting me up, even if it’s something as simple as my favorite coffee or the next chapter of a book. And the best part? If there’s nothing on the list, I can create something to look forward to. Because life feels so much lighter when there’s a spark waiting for me, no matter how small.

I always look forward to your "What Caught My Eye" section. I started watching Sex Lives of College Girls bc of your rec and loved it and knowing that you like Dexter too means I am adding Paradise to my watch list! Your life/therapy advice is always spot on and I enjoy following you on Instagram.

Looking forward to my welcome home party, my bed - I had surgery out of state and post op fir months, my page layout in real Simple Magazine april edition is coming, the end of my 6 month personal distraction project ,my BFF, my travel dates, and peace . Joy and happiness are 2 different thing's but joy isn't based on circumstances it's a mindset. I'm looking forward to the future that all my problems will be solved and no such thing as stress.

Thank you for reminding me to plan for enjoyment. The practicalities of life fill my mind and calendar, so much so, that I sonetimes neglect to sprinkle in the fun stuff. Best to you!

The fun stuff helps us get through the things we “have to do.”
