Why We Paused For A Bit: Celebrating Life in the Midst of Such Loss

from All About The Joy · host Carmen Lezeth Suarez

Have you ever danced through tears? Recently, I was reminded of life’s uncanny ability to blend both sorrow and joy in the same moment. We lost Patty Ann, an unexpected blow that threw us all into an emotional whirl. Yet this storm of feelings was punctuated by rays of joy as I flew back east, joining my family in a celebration of her life. United in our grief, we found solace in moments of laughter, singing, and dancing to Patty Ann's favorite tunes from Motown and Donna Summer, her favorites - all providing a backdrop for our collective memory of how lovely life can be. I’d also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you, my faithful listeners and viewers. In life, we all sail through rough tides, but it's in these times that we need to remember to keep our focus on the joy that life brings. Let's celebrate the beauty of belonging to a family, a community, a supportive network of friends. I invite you to join me as I share personal reflections on the ways in which even in the toughest times, we can find beauty and joy. Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share.  You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLezeth You can also support AATJ by shopping at our STORE - Or by and buying us a coffee. We'd appreciate that greatly.  Also, if you want to find us anywhere on social media, please check out the link in bio page.
