We Always Have a Choice

Joyful Healing with Shar Joy

There are moments when choosing feels simple, and moments when it feels impossibly hard. There are times we’re certain we have no choice at all. But we do.

Being Peace

Joyful Healing with Shar Joy

Even now, with so much chaos and change happening in the world, you can still choose peace, for peace is within you, not outside of you.

Think back to a moment when you felt peaceful.  How did it feel?  Did it feel natural and part of who you really are?   This is who you are, dear ones, the true essence of you.
