Joy Rebel Army Gathering Strength!


I'm counting down to my blog's anniversary. Three years on April 29th! I'm so excited and will have a fun and tasty post for you!

Maybe it's immature to feel so happy about this. But with the economy being where it is and swine flu making its unwelcome appearance, I'm accepting joy where I can find it.

And speaking of joy, did you know that I'm a JOY REBEL? What's a JOY REBEL you ask? Well this joyful venture was started by blogger and photographer, Brandi Reynolds.

I love Brandi's spirit and philosophy of life. She can tell you better what her mission of joy is about. So let me share her words. She issued a Press Release. And in these times where it's so easy to feel down and out, we all need to find ways to lift ourselves up. We all know what hope can do. Imagine adding joy?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


JOY REBEL ARMY GATHERING STRENGTH

Dallas, TX-April 25, 2009

They come from all walks of life and across the world. Joy rebels. There may be one in your own neighborhood.

What is a joy rebel?? A joy rebel is a member of an elite army started by Brandi Reynolds in early 2009. Brandi was tired of the ‘must fix list’ tirade found in most of the self help section and decided she wanted to have some fun, reclaim joy and live a fully authentic life.

And then she invited some friends and they invited some friends and now an army of strong, crafty, fun loving, authentic men and women all over the internet and blog sphere have taken up her cause and marched into the streets and across their web pages with…heart shaped sticky notes. And sidewalk chalk. Oh and warrior names that reveal their innate talents like ‘bubble blower extraordinaire’.

They do things like leave notes in books for others to find. Write joy in sidewalk chalk. Hug trees. And generally wreck havoc on the doom and gloom population glued to the network news.

Anyone committed to the sublime art of being their authentic self is welcome to join this rebel army. Potential warriors can join at http://brandireynolds.blogspot.com. There they will be welcomed into a community of amazing humans, receive weekly missions and get a badge to add to their blog or web page. They should probably not be averse to glitter glue.

Let’s make this a joy nation. Join today!!!

I think I like that idea. I did some "random acts of kindness" for a while - putting coins in expired parking meters, sending out an anonymous letter with a dollar inside, stuff like that - and it sounds similar.

Congrats lady! Cheers to many more posts!

Love this concept! Anything for eradicting Doom and Gloom. Doom and Gloom folks attract more doom and gloom.
