Michele McKeag Larsen, Founder & Chief Joy Officer
Michele chooses joy at every opportunity–even in the absence of chocolate. At the age of 33 (actually, more like 41) she discovered what she really wanted to do when she grew up: spread joy, optimism and inspiration to millions. In February of 2010 she made it official by founding The Joy Team.
Michele’s background includes being a State Director of Communications for March of Dimes, Publisher and Editor of NW Women’s Journal and NW Women’s Directory, a knitting catalog manager, visual program manager, marketing and graphics supervisor, lizard catcher, sun worshiper and, most notably, wife and mother.

Hi Michelle,
I just love, love, love what you have created!
My dear friend Liza Tapp turned me towards you and your work recently as I shared with her a community project I’m taking on.
My project is: The Floral Connection – Celebrating Seniors Through The Gift Of Flowers. A group of 25-50 volunteers and seniors will gather in December for a guided workshop in making 100 flower arrangements that will then be given to seniors as an act of joy and inspiration!
I’m currently in the process of gathering volunteers, with floral donation requests to follow. If you have any volunteers that may be interested in participating in this community event, would you please send them my way?
Also, any thoughts or advice on this process are greatly welcomed as this is my first project.
Warmly,
Nadya Burchette
