GIVE AND RECEIVE
MORE VALUE
Firstly, we encourage you to read (or reread) our previous posts, GIVING AND GRATITUDE and GRATITUDE IS ALWAYS IN SEASON.
The season of GIVING always prompts us to think about giving, gratitude, and growth for what those ideals mean to us here at LEISURE & JOIE, and how we can share those insights with you.
Our highest priority is to continuously add value to our community of patrons’ by way of our high-quality, practical, and thoughtful goods. Our offerings work in tandem and promote the implementation and continuation of self-care practices, wellness, and slow, intentional living.
Our curations additionally (and purposefully) add beauty, via aesthetic design, and value through practical application.
Bring value, joy, and beauty to your life or share with someone else. Whether you give of your time, grace, patience, or tangible things, notice the joy you receive/experience in exhange.
You never lose when you give and are of service to others.

“ONLY THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING FOR OTHERS CAN BRING US THE TRANQUILITY AND HAPPINESS WE ALL SEEK.”
MORE LOVE
We’d like to acknowledge our belief that we all have more in common than not.
As beings of humanity - there are no divisions. Divisions are illusions. They are not real. We all bleed the same at the end of the day.
In light of recent days, it may seem that some don’t believe that - we do.
“GOOD PEOPLE DO NOT NEED LAWS TO TELL THEM TO ACT RESPONSIBLY, WHILE BAD PEOPLE WILL FIND A WAY AROUND THE LAWS.”
Our hope is that our community aligns in those beliefs, as well.
In theory, and in practice, it should be easy to show more love to our neighbors, friends, co-workers, family, etc. and not only during the holiday season.
MORE EMPATHY
Lead with kindness in your interactions with others. It is a little easier to do that knowing that everyone is going through something, at any given time. Allow space for growth and grace for the nuanced experiences we are living through with compassion.
“SEEING WITH THE EYES OF ANOTHER, LISTENING WITH THE EARS OF ANOTHER, AND FEELING WITH THE HEART OF ANOTHER.”
Incorporate your values into your life no matter what is going on around you.
Keep showing up for yourself and your community. Seek to build and grow your community.
Your actions will always bring you closer to those who align.
As you come together this next week with your family/chosen family, keep in mind, that giving in itself is a selfless act, yet it will always give so much back to you, as well.
