Joyful
Joyful: A Truthful Guide to Finding Peace and Living a Fulfilling Life | Toks Adebiyi
9 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
Successful or not. Rich or poor. People use plenty of terms to determine and define happiness-but is it really joy they're seeking? Author Toks Adebiyi shares examples from his time in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom in the inspirational memoir Joyful. Like many others, Toks got caught up in the push for wealth and popularity and dreamed of becoming the next Richard Branson or Robert Kiyosaki. But when events in his life brought him back down to earth, he began to redefine what joy meant to him. Here, Toks shares what he found, laying out a path for others to follow in advice-filled chapters such as "Loving Yourself" and "Mind Your Environment." All throughout, he includes action points to aid others in their own pursuit of joy. Joyful is specifically targeted at young readers and families. This lighthearted, easy-to-read guide will help you find what matters most in your life-and what you really need to find inner peace.

🎃 Pics of my grand-niece as Grogu for Halloween
👻 A former student shared this delightful & hilarious video of his friend‘s Halloween costumes: https://fb.watch/vvQq2BtBNz/?mibextid=gYSGZt&fs=e&s=TIeQ9V
💜 This perfect drawing/story by Kai Skye of Flying Edna Studios reminded me to look for small joys: https://flyingedna.com/products/little-things-prints

BarbaraJean 📚Reading the tagged book—I have too many long-term/nonfiction/“required” books going right now, so it was a pleasure to read this beautiful Kate DiCamillo story in one sitting
😂 This is so dumb, but I laughed so hard at this video I couldn‘t breathe:

Thanks for the tags @Sace and @Eggs !

💛 Seeing Jace dressed up as Alvin for Halloween. I‘ve been a huge Chipmunks fan since I was a kid!
💛 Spending time with family at 2 fall festivals this week.
💛 Such a dumb thing, but finding this chickpea salad at BJ‘s. I used to eat these all the time and they stopped selling them at Publix 😪
💛Cuddles with my old man cat, Chipper 🐈‍⬛ 🐾

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS great minds and all of that 😆🤓 Chipmunk Adventure was and still is my favorite animated movie! I used to rent it from the video store every weekend 👵🏻 3w
JenlovesJT47 @DogMomIrene the Chipmunks are timeless! I love the show and movies from the 80s. The newer movies are cute and there‘s a newer show on Nickelodeon. Can‘t go wrong with the Chipmunks! 3w
TorieStorieS I have the soundtrack because it came with my dvd purchase— I love to drive my husband nuts randomly playing a song from it! 🤣 The Christmas album is also a seasonal favorite (of mine)! 3w

1. Family time. These 2 bring me so much joy! 💜🧡
2. 🏈. The Broncos won.
3. Sherlock gave Mycroft cuddles before we left so it would smell like Sherlock for me. My kids bought me two more weighted animals- a deer and a polar bear. I now have Holmes 🦕, Watson 🐨, Mycroft 🦌and Moriarty 🐻‍❄️. My daughter has Enola 🐘.
4. Pumpkin cupcakes from my favorite bakery. 🧁

I took $20 to the store today, because I only needed a few things and would spend more if I took it. Checking out, I was over and had to go back the soda that I desperately wanted. As I was getting into my car, a kid, about 16, stopped me and asked me “what does your joy look like today“. I was stunned, but he just smiled and handed me my soda. He then said “I hope I get to be part of it“ and walked away. He was definitely part of my joy today!

megnews Awesome! 3y
Roary47 Awww that is the sweetest! 3y
