Greetings and welcome to the ‘Celebrate A Sister‘ series. If you were here in person I would offer you a seat by the soursop tree in the garden, pour you some coconut water or hibiscus tea and we could sit and reason about life or breeze and watch the plants. Until then, here are some guest posts and recorded reasonings with inspiring sistrens (and a few gentlemen) sharing from:

• Barbados
• London
• Trinidad & Tobago
• Senegal
• Zimbabwe
• St. Lucia
• The U.S
• Canada

‘Celebrate A Sister‘ is meant to be an space where like minded women can introduce their creativity, services, products, communities and movements while sharing encouragement, challenges overcome and insight gained. It could be a recipe, home organising style, creative project, gardening steps, natural product or wellbeing journey that’s uplifting, resourceful and harmonizes naturally with the essence of Its Joy Within.

There’s something to be said about living purposefully yet quietly, and there’s also something special about connecting and celebrating other women along their walk – not to puff each other up or out of loneliness but because life has many ups and downs and encouragement is a part of the walk for the called.

Joy within tings:

• Encouragement over envy

• Serenity over stress

• Joy and not despair

• Community over isolation
