We have all heard about changing your thoughts to change your life. But only recently did I discover just how much the words we use really ARE frequencies of energy that carry vibrations influencing moods and outcomes. I learned first-hand how swapping a few little words could make a world of difference in our experiences and maybe even change a hurried and hassled holiday season into a more heavenly one!

Once upon a time, I was reluctant to become involved with Facebook. I originally joined so that I could see pictures of my grandkids. Here I am a few years later, and not only do I have a personal page, but a JoyfulLifeTools group page as well. What began as simply a way to connect with family has blossomed into a way to communicate with people from all over the world. That dawned on me for the first time when JoyfulLifeTools was young. I’d posted my Monday Motivation as usual. I received a response that said something like, “The Monday Motivation is great, even on Tuesday.” I was a bit confused because it wasn’t Tuesday yet…at least not for me. I soon realized, however, that it was Tuesday in Australia, and that’s where the comment came from. It was at that moment that I truly began to appreciate the ease at which we can now communicate with people around the world. Read more »
Oh no! Where did the time go? How could it possibly be November already? Wasn’t it just April, or wait, the Fourth of July? How could it possibly be November? That means (shuddering), the holidays are right around the corner! Read more »

When we’re driving and the light turns yellow, we make a judgment about whether to stop or go through. Our decision is based upon our past experiences as well as our belief system. Because of our past experiences in driving, we see a yellow light, calculate how far we are from the intersection, how fast we are going and then decide what is safe. Also affecting our decision is our belief system. For some individuals, yellow lights mean speed up because I don’t want to be delayed in my travels. For others, yellow lights mean that we should slow down and stop and that the tiny delay is worth it in order to stay safe. It’s a judgment call. Read more »
There are two steps to working with colors to improve our daily lives. The first step, understanding the individual properties of colors, was addressed in our last article. The second step is learning and applying certain techniques enabling us to project and absorb colors. So, how do we do this? In working with colors, we can do so physically, using color swatches or crystals and gemstones, or we can do so mentally, using visualization and breathing. Read more »
The old adage of “healer heal thyself” has never been more appropriate than when picturing yourself “in” a specific color, albeit surrounded by the walls within your home or office or the wardrobe that clothes your body. Remember the 1980s when the rage was to learn about your colors, whether you were spring, summer, fall (autumn) or winter, based upon the spectrum of colors that enhanced your skin tone? Read more »
Frequency by Penney Peirce is one of those books that sometimes takes you out on a limb. You find yourself asking, “Really?” Despite this, I found myself coming back over and over again to continue reading. It actually was several months before I completed this book. I would put it [...] Read more »
Flow like water. That’s what my Qi Gong/Tai Chi teacher repeats to her students. The words have begun to echo in my head repeatedly even outside of class. When I began this practice a very short time ago, I realized that while the slow, swaying movements looked easy, it took great effort to perform the flowing exercises correctly. It took discipline, strength and concentration to flow like water. Read more »
As I write this, I am sitting not far from one of Sedona, Arizona’s most powerful vortexes, and one whose energy is recognized as strengthening the feminine-masculine, or yin-yang balance. Understanding ourselves is something we all strive to achieve. Why we do what we do, respond as we respond, act [...] Read more »
