Candace, I can't express my gratitude enough for this profound gift. It was like a lifeline, a gasp of air in the whirlwind of a chaotic day. Your insight that joy isn't just a reward but a vital resource struck a deep chord within me. We often overlook that our bodies are not merely vessels, but sacred spaces where GOD meets us, where worship breathes. Psalm 16:11 declares, “In Your presence is fullness of joy…” and your powerful words infused that truth into every aspect of life—movement, breath, and stillness. I am deeply moved by your call to actively pursue joy, rather than passively waiting for it to come. It's a blessing to realize we can start anew, with tenderness and without the burden of performance. Simply return and find our grounding. Thank you for crafting a sanctuary that honors both the soul and the nervous system. May an unstoppable wave of joy continue to surge for you and everyone who listens.

That truth about our bodies being sacred spaces where God meets us is so profound, and I am so grateful it struck that chord for you too. Your words about starting anew with tenderness rather than performance... yes, that is exactly it. Thank you for seeing and receiving this work so deeply. Sending you so much love and continued joy 💛
