    About this ebook

    My spirit guides continually remind all of us this life we’ve chosen in these particular physical bodies at this particular time on the planet is supposed to be a joyful and joy-filled experience. And yet for many, if not most, it is not. Often, it’s anything but joyful.

    This book will hopefully serve to remind the reader of the goddess or god within. And from there, to inspire him or her to create the joyful, abundant life that is the birthright of us all.

    Here are the topics we cover in The Book of Joy:
    Joy
    Joy and Your Physical Body
    Fun
    This Single Solitary Moment
    All Is As It Should Be
    Who’s There?
    Spirit Speaks
    To Live In A Sacred Manner
    Feeling Good and Getting Connected
    You Live In A World of Absolute Abundance
    Trusting Yourself
    Listen
    Gateways
    The River of Life
    Unshakeable Happiness
    Success
    The Power of Joy

      Acknowledgments

      I dedicate this to my spirit guides for their constant inspiration, love, and support over many years and many lifetimes.

      I want to acknowledge my good friend and fellow publisher, Judee Pouncey, for her love, support, and her gracious offer to lend her editing expertise to the final production of this book.

      And I want to acknowledge all of you, our readers, for your loyal support and love throughout the years. Without you, neither this book nor the work Spirit and I do would be possible.

      You are all truly the wind beneath our wings. We’re deeply grateful to you for always being there for us.

      Introduction

      Spirit and I began our work together in this lifetime in 1992. As with all things on Mother Earth, our work has evolved and grown over the years. That evolution and growth has traveled in tandem with my own personal and spiritual growth. As I’ve become more comfortable and adept at bringing forth information from Spirit, they and I have developed an intimate relationship not unlike that of lovers or soulmates.

      The past several years, a clear focus and theme have emerged for Spirit and me in the information we’ve been producing and publishing: joy.

      And now, joy is a nearly constant element of all we do. Hence the idea for this e-book. I’ve taken our articles from the past several years, and culled out the ones whose particular emphasis has been joy.

      Spirit continually reminds all of us this life we’ve chosen in these particular physical bodies at this particular time on the planet is supposed to be a joyful and joy-filled experience. And yet for many, if not most, it is not. Often, it’s anything but joyful.

      This book will hopefully serve to remind the reader of the goddess or god within. And from there, to inspire him or her to create the joyful, abundant life that is the birthright of us all.

      With love and joy,

      Joy

      Spirit

      What brings you joy? What are those experiences – those people, those activities, those thoughts – that bring you joy, filling your present moments with bliss and a deeply-felt sense of oneness?

      We would ask you to sit down with the silence and ponder these questions. If it will help you, write down whatever comes to mind – anything and everything. It is important, especially at this point in
