Let’s welcome the weekend with a giveaway. What kind of plans do the next two days hold for you? Maybe you have a totally empty schedule? Sounds like a great reason to start reading that book, project, or go on a day trip with your favorite person? Maybe you have dinner meals to prepare for the upcoming week? Maybe you’re lucky and have a party to attend, or not so lucky and have a paper to write? ;) Or maybe your favorite napping spot is calling your name? Something I’ve learned since moving to Los Angeles is we have the ability to have a great day or a hard day, it’s all about our perspective and whether we choose to seek out joy.

Lisa does a really beautiful job at recognizing life’s joy and she shares that with us on her blog. I just love that about her, along with her transparency when joy can be hard to recognize. It inspires me.

Whatever you have planned this weekend — work or play or rest — my hope is this giveaway blesses you. The giveaway bundle includes an Orange Roses wristlet from my Gussy shop plus a gorgeous Fine Feather necklace from Lisa Leonard’s shop.

To enter: leave a comment sharing something joyful you’ve recently learned or experienced. For an additional entry use one of the social media icons below to share this giveaway with your communities. This giveaway is open to US residents only and will end on Monday, January 13th. Good luck and seek joy :)

  2. I’m joyful because I have 4 days off of work in a row. I am using them by driving up to see my family, and we are having a great long weekend!

  6. I have finally started to release from years of pain and struggling. I have found joy in the trust I have put in God. I have found joy in the hope I feel for my future, that whatever it holds I will always have my saviors love. Even if no one on this earth believes in me, he will.

  7. something joyful i’ve been learning the hard way is to keep h.o.p.i.n.g. in the Lord with everything i’ve got, even when life hurts and i can’t see any good coming out of painful situations. because no matter what is happening, God is still good.

  8. My youngest is so joyful. He is full of love + laughter and has such a pure and tender heart. It is a blessing to be his mom.

  11. First, thank you so much for the giveaway! I love your items as well as Lisa Leonard’s, so its the perfect giveaway for me! I was recently diagnosed with cancer and I have found joy in the love, support, and prayers of my family, friends, and coworkers.

  12. Joy is having people help you with your broken down car when you don’t have the money to take it to a shop. Very unexpected.

  14. I just spent the last 15 minutes baking cookies with Jett and dancing around the kitchen, singing into a spatula like an idiot because it was making him giggle. If that isn’t a moment of joy I don’t know what is :)

  18. I’m reading Unglued, by Lysa TerKeurst and I have found joy in learning that I’m not just a person made of feelings and that I have control over them. It’s a new years resolution to work on my anger and this book has definitely brought me a lot of joy with practical guidance and scripture!

  20. My joyful experience has been watching the best husband ever become a most wonderful father to our baby girl!

  23. Something I’m learning? It’s hard growing up!! My parents are getting older and we are getting their affairs in order–something that is not so fun. Necessary, but not fun. Can’t we all stay young forever. ;)

  24. I joyful because I just found out I have three more days off before going back to work after maternity leave! Woot woot!

  26. Something joyful is that on the 1st of the year i moved into my first apartment with my boyfriend and on the 9th we celebrated our 12th year of being together. We are 25 now and started dating in the 8th grade!

    Thanks for a chance to win!

  28. I spent today with my 18-month-old nephew. Listening to his ever expanding vocabulary, putting his new shoes on his outstretched feet and pushing his trains around and around while he “Choo-Choo”s, is my joy for the week!

  30. I’m learning more everyday that it isn’t all about me. I mean I knew that and I know that, but my four children and husband and everyone else that lives this life with me are showing me that not having everything I think I should when I want it can be a very good thing. Sometimes I’m way too selfish and I could be much happier if I make it (whatever it is) about someone else. :)

  32. I am joyful for a friend who has been trying to have a baby and is now 17 weeks prego :)

  33. Something joyful that I’ve “learned” is that everyday we get another chance. Another chance to be who we are or learn more about who we are. So awesome!!

  37. I’ve recently learned the joy of waiting on God. While I wished for years that my dreams would happen “now,” God has revealed in the past two weeks why He asked me to wait..and it is beautiful :)

  41. I got to go away with my husband and children for the weekend. I love getting away from the phone and time commitments, and just being able to concentrate on them! It is JOYFUL :)

  52. Helping an older lady push her cart through the snow packed parking lot to her car.

  56. Something joyful that I’ve experienced lately is getting a sweet compliment from a coworker. I had been working on a huge project and recently completed it and my coworker gave me a super sweet, super thoughtful compliment about how good of a job I had done. It meant a lot to me.

  57. I always find joy in my son. He’s brilliant at four years old, and I hope he continues to experience the world quizzically. His questions make me laugh so hard sometimes and I love it, especially when he produces a cute little “oh yeah, okay!”

    I also really like his logic. So hilarious, but great <3
