Meet Joy

Well hello there! My name is Joy.

I live in Denver, Colorado. I believe my extreme nostalgia for the past, coupled with my obsessive need to document everything in life (I have a library of journals that date back to the 80’s), has led me to the blog world. I love running, Crossfit, yoga, food, fashion, music, and reading blogs. I have trouble sitting still. I’m a licensed professional counselor and work primarily with at-risk youth and families. I’m a spin instructor. I’ve won 3 Emmy Awards. I once danced in the Super Bowl halftime show. I’m 35 years old. I have a twin brother. I grew up in Mesa, Arizona. I watch chick flicks. I dance in front of the mirror to JT and Beyonce. I believe life is meant to be fun, happy, and joyful! Who knows where this journey will take us? I hope you’ll stick around and find out.

    What a fun thing, a Joy blog!! Wish there was another name for “blog” tho! It’s sounds like something a cat throws up – sorry!! Enjoyed reading about your thoughts/ideas/plans.
    LOL – no, not laugh out loud, “lots of love”, MOM

    Thanks for reading and liking little ol’ me, Joy! How nice to ‘meet’ you on this vast interwebs! We have much in common: crazy cats, Crossfit, dancing when our SOs aren’t around. I keep meeting eerily similar people thanks to blogging. What a world! Hope you end up ‘like’-ing more recipes 🙂

    Thanks for stumbling across my blog – I freakin’ love yours! The Denver Retro Run needs to come to London, it looked like too much fun. Thankfully Book of Mormon is already on it’s way here:)
