Thank you for including me and The Joy You Make on this holiday gift list! cw33.com/news/2024-gift…

Joy can exist even in the face of great sadness. Holidays can be difficult because they often remind us of loved ones who are no longer with us. I am so happy this mom has found a way to turn this unimaginable loss into something that brings her joy. people.com/moms-halloween…

So incredibly funny and talented. From "Young Frankenstein" to "Tootsie" to Phoebe's mom on "Friends." Not to mention a fierce advocate for people living with MS. Thanks for the many laughs, Teri Garr. cnn.com/2024/10/29/ent…

The joy of writing by hand. There's something beautiful about seeing someone's handwriting. It feels like a window into their personality. Plus... the time it takes to write a handwritten letter means the world to the recipient. #thejoyyoumake #newbook #mentalhealth #selfhelp
