Happy June!
This month we are excited to have our Giant Gratitude Glasses available online, and our much-loved Magic Joy Wands are now stocked in America - making postage to any US zip code affordable.
We hope you enjoy "30 Days Grateful", our featured video produced by local girl Hailey Bartholomew. Hailey has inspired us to start our own 30 days of Gratitude album on our facebook page. To watch Hailey's video please scroll down to "Joy filled videos" at the bottom left-hand side of this email.
TA DA!! to those of you who are journeying through the JOY U Online learning program. We love reading your feedback! Here is what Jessica had to say about how Pillar one: Gratitude was of value to her;

She says “People facing death don’t think about what degrees they have earned, what positions they have held or how much wealth they have accumulated. At the end what really matters... is who you loved and who loved you."
