Joy IS the Journey

Joy is NOT the destination. If we are to have a life of fulfillment and happiness, we need to realize that joy must be found in the journey. Discovering Joy for the Journey is a collection of essays and meditations providing insights and inspiration for anyone wishing to discover the joy that is possible with a deeper connection to the Divine. Originally published individually through newsletters, these essays have inspired many with their wisdom, humor, and down-to-earth way of expressing deep spiritual experiences.

"Julie has found not only "Joy in the Journey" but the source of the joy and a genuine desire to share what she has found with the world. This book is her inspiring invitation to each of us to get reconnected more fully with that joy ourselves."
~ Kirk Weisler, Author, Speaker, Father, Friend

"There is something quite powerful about Julie's writing! My theory is that she simply writes the words that are whispered to her by angels."
~ James Lloyd, author of "Torch Tips for a Luminous Life"

What we call the Infinite Source of love is not important. The specific words we use to bring us into an awareness of the closeness of the ultimate creative power that is both that which is within and that which is larger than ourselves are not significant. Whatever name we choose to give that Divine Light to bring us into closer union with the Loving Parent, we need simply to call. Our Creator loves us with a love that surpasses anything we can ever know or experience in this human existence and simply wants us to realize that we are one with that Source of love. We are one with The Beloved and desired beyond our understanding. So CALL… Speak to your Beloved. Talk with your Father, Mother, Great Spirit. Do not worry about the name you are led to use – God will answer no matter what words you choose. And the Sacred Mystery always answers with a love that will fill and encompass you as no other love you have ever experienced before.
