For me, joy can be found in the everyday and especially with the people I love.

I experience joy when I get to connect with my daughters, have dinner with my husband or take our dog for a walk. I find joy when I meet with students and staff, visiting classrooms and walking through the halls in HWDSB schools.


Joy is the ability to embrace the daily moments in life that support my well-being. When we focus on finding joy in life, we move from surviving to thriving!


What brings you joy?

Sorry, I reposted this on the main page..Thank you for the invitation to share, I find joy in reading!  Sharing stories with my children at bedtime, lets us experience another place and its characters together.  I love how they ask for more when I finish, like they don't want to leave.  Also joy in the reading I do as I learn to engage with our own school community...one passage written by the late Richard Wagamese was particularly inspiring for me:

"You can't test your courage timidly.  You have to run through the fire, arms waving, legs pumping and heart beating wildly with the effort of reclaiming something vital, lost, laid aside or just plain forgotten.  When you do that, you discover that we shine most brightly in community, the whole bedraggled, worn, frayed and tattered lot of us, bound together forever by a shared courage, a family forged in the heat of earnest struggle."
