Experiencing Joy Through Gratitude

— JOY! It's your choice. Every day! Does life leave you feeling hopeless and joyless? Are your intentions out of alignment with your actions? What choices do you make in life to Discover Your Joy? Do you know you can live in joy every day of your life—but—it is a choice! Joy is our natural default emotion. We came into this world as a joyful being and we are here on Planet Earth to bask in that joy and to expand our joy outward into the Universe.

Valeria Teles interviews Louise Pistole — the author of " Discover Your Joy: Daily Splashes of Inspiration for Living an Abundant Life of Happiness, Blessings, and Inner Peace"

Louise is a JOY-fanatic! She brings her Southern charm and joyful inspiration as she encourages others to discover their own joy no matter where they are on their journey.

As Louise navigated her own difficult valleys in life, she emerged with a strong message of joy to share with other women. Her inspiration comes alive with real-life stories of hope, love, and faith. JOY really is her superpower!

After a career of over 30 years in the financial industry, Louise made a decision to leave the business world and pursue her passion of writing. Her book, Discover Your Joy, was published in 2021. She shares her personal stories of love, laughter, holidays, kids and grandkids, along with all the good and not-so-good that life has to offer.

With her writing, coaching, and speaking, Louise offers encouragement and inspiration to women worldwide. Using both practical wisdom and Biblical truths, she guides others to seek what they are missing in life and to become the best version of themselves.

Louise spends many hours in her flower gardens. Here she finds the tranquil peace and serenity to fill her soul. Among all the plants and paths, there are numerous seating areas to give her places to ponder and write. It's no surprise that she uses flower images throughout her writing and on her website.

After 45 years apart, she recently reconnected with her high-school sweetheart. They married on the beach and found their joy in a vacation home at the coast. Their love story was printed in the April 2019 issue of Sasee Magazine.

Her life has come full-circle and she is grateful every day!
