“Joy is a vitamin for the soul.
You should have a little every day.”
We take vitamins for our bodies
every day
to make sure that our health stays balanced.
Our mental health is just as important!
Looking at “Joy” as a vitamin
is a really good way
of understanding how essential
our minds are to our overall well-being.
There are 13 vitamins
that our bodies need to be healthy.
How many ‘qualities’ or ‘emotions’,
like joy,
are good for our minds?
We do not necessarily take all 13 vitamins
in tablet form every day,
but we take what is strongest
for our physical health.
Our mental health is just as paramount!
A ‘dose’ of joy every day
makes us feel
happy, confident and “good” for the day.
Joy is not just an emotion
but it is a positive way
of living with a purpose in our lives.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Silken Chains
Silhouettes of the female form were given flesh and bone. Silken skin glistened under the spotlight. Dry ice rose around our Icons as they danced atop their podiums in the Square. Heralded for their beauty, their movements were slight, powerful, and sensual.

I see how joy could guide us to better health. Describing joy as a "vitamin for the soul" is a powerful analogy. It suggests that joy is just as essential to our well-being as any physical supplement. This was uplifting and fantastic work once again. 🤗🌼
