	BRINGING JOY to OTHERS That’s Joy’s real essence. And true value. When we selflessly give it to others. It tends to come back multiplied. Deliberate and random acts of kindness. Thoughtful surprises, meaningful gifts. Small gestures. Sharing happy events. Enjoying a special moment. Being there fully for someone. Volunteering and selfless service. Little things. Helping hand. Active listening. Shoulder to cry on. Attitude of gratitude. Enthusiasm and optimism. Inspiration and genuine happiness. Smiles. Hugs. Tantric sex. First & last kisses. Human touch. Comforting words. Presence. Shared silence.  The list and opportunities are endless – let’s share and BE JOY IN ACTION! ☺	106	323	Re: Vote for thankfulness! Jul 4, 7:22 AM by SixthSense
	JOY for the FUN of IT Smile. Laugh. Have Fun. Share Jokes. Make someone belly laugh. Don’t worry, be happy. Have a happy-go-lucky attitude and love it. Make someone’s day.

	JOY as a JOURNEY & PURPOSE Sounds too serious? Or too incredible? It is neither. Even HH the Dalai Lama has declared: “I believe happiness and joy are the purpose of life.” So why search any further? Let’s explore Joy’s meaning, value and influence in our daily lives and quest for Oneness.	66	234	Re: 6 Words Life Story of You/WE ~ Jul 1, 10:16 AM by Laurie
	JOY for JOY ITSELF How do we Take Joy? What brings Joy to our bodies, minds, hearts & spirits? What makes us smile, laugh, feel carefree and happy? What sensual, mental, emotional and spiritual experiences bring us most joy? Let’s share our joys! (Let’s dare to confess even our guilty pleasures, peaks of ecstasy, moments of enlightenment & more ☺)	47	158	Re: The Best Makeup :) Jun 12, 10:42 AM by Joy Bringer
	JOY’s POWER to HEAL, INSPIRE & TRANSFORM Joy can change not only our moods and lift our spirits, but help us heal on all levels. Continuously experiencing pure joy and happiness and bringing joy to others can literally transform the way we are, think, feel and act. Let’s share some stories of inspiration and healing – ours and those of others we know, love & respect.	59	109	Re: GLOBAL JOY MOVEMENT - HEALING WITH LAUGHTER Jun 22, 6:37 PM by Meenakshi
	Zaadzsters that Inspire I am sure that you find plenty of joy & inspiration in the digital hallways of zaadz as you read amazing profiles, find wisdom in authentic blogs & pods & laugh & cry at quotes, art, music & expressions that touch you. How about introducing to each other zaadzsters that move & inspire us in anyway - be it with their art, aspirations, spirit, integrity, humor or else.	21	48	On Happiness Moments, Design & Habits from TED Dec 9, 2007, 5:56 PM by Joy Bringer
	JOY of The Week/Month The place to share ANYTHING that brought you joy, inspired you or made you feel grateful this Week/Month. I suggest sharing 3 things, but you can choose only one or many more if you want to. Here's how it works: 1.    ENJOY an email with the  “Joy of the Week/Month” ideas, inspiration & gratitude 2.    CREATE YOUR blog entry “Joy of the Week/Month” & tag it with “joy of the week/month” 3.    SHARE your blog entry with us here (best with permalink) You can share a Zaadzster's profile, zquote, poem, zbook, movie, song, zevent, story, anything!	61	203	Re: Joy of Rumi 800+ years Jan 4, 1:00 AM by riet

I welcome you to something different – a wonderful Joy experience! Even if it is “formally identified as a pod”, I invite you to be part of something unique, creative, fun and transformational – the “Joy SOULutions Interactive Experience”. Let’s co-create an “Oasis of Joy” here at Zaadz and spread the seeds of Joy far beyond. Since as Richard Wagner exclaimed: “Joy is not in things; it is in us.” let’s start by taking Joy, being Joy and sharing it widely, wildly (or quietly) and abundantly.

Even if we all agree that we want more joy and happiness in our lives, we often tend to take it for granted or forget to bring joy to those we love and care about. How about we change that starting with ourselves? How about we rediscover Joy for Joy itself? How about we start fully enjoying each moment, each word, each sound, each touch, each thought, each tear, each smile? How about we bring more joy, kindness and happiness to those around us who need it most? How about we redefine what joy and happiness mean by taking and bringing more of it in each area of our lives? How about we surprise others and ourselves with some random and deliberate acts of kindness that will bring joy and create change unimaginable before?

I know we can do it. I envision the Joy in you as you experience it and share it with others. I invite you not only for a Joy ride, but also for a beautiful and amazing dance of Joy with your body, mind, heart and soul. Let us BE the Joy in action we always are within!

This pod is intended as a totally open experience, where we interact freely and exchanges range from quotes and jokes, to inspirational stories and visionary art, to spiritual insights and deeper ‘fluffy stuff’ and so much more!

What I suggest for you to experience and take more joy is that you can savor or contribute any of the following:

A Joy A Week -  A Joy SOULution – A Joy in Action – Give a zGift! ☺

Joy quote / poem / haiku / lyrics / good joke
Joy story / article / personal experience / inspiration
Joy image / picture / art piece / animation / video
Joy music / song / melody / sound fusion / remix
Joy in action – random & deliberate acts of kindness

So let us SHARE the Joy and you will ENJOY you did!
