Finding Joy with Toy

“Finding Joy with Toy” started as a play on my name…

but it turned into something deeper.

Because joy isn’t always natural for everyone.

Some of us had to learn how to be strong before we ever learned how to be soft.
How to handle things before we learned how to enjoy things.

So now?
Joy can feel unfamiliar… even uncomfortable.

That’s why I’m intentional about it.

Not big, perfect moments.
Just small, real ones.

Because sometimes finding your way back to yourself
starts with letting yourself feel good again.

I used to think I needed to “get everything together” first…

then I’d relax.
Then I’d enjoy life.
Then I’d feel better.

But it doesn’t really work like that.

Sometimes you have to let yourself feel a little joy
in the middle of everything.

Not when it’s all fixed.
Not when it’s all calm.

Right now.

“Finding Joy with Toy” is my reminder of that.

You don’t have to wait until life feels perfect
to feel something good.
