Vicki Atkinson and Wynne Leon are talking with writer, poet, artist, and blogger, Dave Williams.
Joy is…having Dave Williams come on the podcast to tell us what inspired his recent project to collect and publish what sparks joy in the blogging community.
He tells us how he was inspired by the spirit of his Aunt Diane. Celebrating her infectious personality after she passed away last summer was one of the motivations behind this project.
Another was the idea to strengthen the delight muscle. A suggestion in the book Daily Delight by Ross Gay prompted Dave to want to cultivate the same upward spiral.
And Dave was also inspired by Teri Polen’s Bad Moon Rising blogging project that brings the WordPress community together.
In the end, Dave found and shared so much joy in this community project. He’s compiled a Joy Is _____ table of contents that we know will inspire you.
We’re confident you’ll love the scenic and beautiful places we explore as we talk about what joy is and how to celebrate that as a community!
We know you’ll love it!
