Last week was my birthday. As you probably gathered from my last post I LOVE to celebrate my birthday! So much so that I don’t just to a birth-day. I do a minimum of a birth-week or a birth-month and ideally the fun will continue on for the whole summer!
Why? Well, fun is one of the easiest paths to joy. It is slightly tricky to put my finger on a precise definition of joy (although I took a crack at in my forthcoming book – Participation is Mandatory). But fun is different. Fun is the way you get to joy. Doing fun things gets you to that joyful place.
Fun is the vehicle that gets us to the north star of joy. 
In fact, I use these two words, fun and joy, together so often that I invented my own word: Foy!
Fun + Joy = Foy!
Even during this hard time, this first birthday without my dad, I still have a choice to choose be connected to my friends and what’s fun for me.
As a result, my birthday itself was fantastic! I loved being surrounded by good friends, having amazing conversations, getting to be the center of a attention (yes, its true that’s what I love), having room for spontaneity, and maintaining a deep connection to my core self. All bringing me so much foy!
As we continue through Leo season, take time this summer to experience some foy for yourself!
Okay over to you:
What are some things that bring you foy? What are you doing to ensure you experience fun this summer? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below.
