What if you had the brush to paint your world into color?

I used to walk past that wall every day... thinking I’d never get through.
What if you never realized the wall wasn’t real?

Hey Beautiful Lighthouse,

What if the only thing standing between you and a lush, magical life…
was an old brick wall?

And what if the paintbrush to transform it...
into a garden of joy, freedom, and purpose...
was already in your hand?

This isn’t just a metaphor.
It’s a movement.
​(This used to be me... in a navy blue skirt suit.)

For the last 9 years, I’ve been painting a new world...
One magical brushstroke at a time.
One courageous step at a time.
One joyful breath at a time.
​
And now…
I’m inviting you to step through the keyhole.

PS. I just received a beautiful testimonial this week and am super stoked about it, especially because I really respect the person who wrote it.

Chris Sullivan and his wife Julia have been leaders in the field of healing and transformation for decades.

While they give a tremendous amount of time, energy and support to Native Americans all along the west coast, they also work with corporate leaders.

My admiration for Chris is tremendous, so these words really landed in my heart.

I hope this touches you, too, and helps you see possibilities for painting a more beautiful world for yourself and those you care about most.

(italics and bold are mine, the words are exactly as he wrote them)

To Whom It May Concern,
​
I am writing to offer my appreciation and whole hearted recommendation of the powerful body of work, Joy-Based Living, developed by Debbie Happy Cohen.
​
I can confidently say that the Joy-Based Living program provides transformation and wholeness to those who choose to reach for their highest purpose. Debbie’s teachings are rooted in emotional resilience, relational authenticity, and deep self-honor. Debbie’s approach to life through her teachings offers greater self-awareness, intentionality, joy and happiness because it comes from the inside out.
​
I am grateful that Joy-Based Living teaches people how to develop true internal safety, cultivate personal sovereignty, and create healthy boundaries while staying deeply connected with others.​
​
​The Joy-Based Living 12 Practices should be standard reading and communally practiced with family and friends during this time of separation and isolation in our world. The Joy-Based Living 12 Practices feather smoothly and come along side into any recovery program one might be involved with. As someone who has lived and worked in mental health and recovery communities over the last 40 years, I can tell you without doubt, the sun shines brighter when the 12 Practices are embodied by us and shared with others.
