The Joy of Kindness

Our theme for 2026 is Choose Joy!

Choosing joy means living with intention. It’s the practice of noticing what makes you feel alive, nurturing your well-being, and responding to life with greater presence, kindness, and self-trust.

Choosing joy isn’t about avoiding life’s challenges. It’s about staying connected to yourself as you move through them—and discovering that joy can coexist with real life, exactly as it is.

THE LOCATION FOR THE MEETUP HAS CHANGED TO ORCHARD VALLEY COFFEE BECAUSE IT MIGHT RAIN.

Our Topic for March is: The Joy of Kindness
“Happiness doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give. Spread kindness, and joy will follow.” ~ Anonymous

Kindness is all about those little moments that show we care. It might look like:

• Lending a hand or sharing your time
• Really listening, not just hearing
• Being there when someone could use a boost

Even the tiniest act matters—it can brighten someone else’s day and spark joy in your own heart.

We'll talk about these questions:

1. Share about times when acts of kindness brought you joy.
2. Share examples of how self-kindness can help you create more joy each day.
3. What simple act of kindness could you do over the next 7 days to bring joy to someone else—and to yourself?

“Remember, even the smallest gesture can brighten someone’s day—and yours!”

Joyfully,
