Rose City Mortgage

The Joy Team grew this week!

Welcome new member Rose City Mortgage!  Rose City Mortgage gives $100 to the charity of your choice when you close a loan with them.  And Carol McKeag selected The Joy Team as her charity of choice! 

Thank you Rose City Mortgage and Carol McKeag for helping us spread joy, optimism and inspiration to millions!

Look here to find out who else is a member of The Joy Team.

Carol McKeag and her billboard

Carol McKeag of Coaching for Life & Spirit believes YOU make a difference in this world.  She believes it so much she sponsored a billboard from The Joy Team to tell you.

Carol is a life coach, Living Your Vision coach and spiritual mentor. In addition to helping you see your own brilliance and find your center, she can unite you in marriage to the one you love.

Here’s Carol’s approach to life:

I am 100% committed to living my life joyfully, vibrantly, creatively and fully each and every day, contributing to the peace and spiritual growth of the planet.

You can see this billboard in Portland on N Interstate Ave, 50 feet north of Webster.  She also sponsored two other billboards in Portland: one on SE 82nd Ave, 100 ft north of Ogden St and another on SE Foster Rd, 150 feet west of 51st Ave.

Thank you, Carol, for spreading joy, optimism and inspiration!

Roy & Skai McKeag enjoying their billboard

Roy and Skai McKeag from Santa Fe, New Mexico, were out in Portland, Oregon, today enjoying the billboard they sponsored through The Joy Team.

Their message: Enjoy the moment.

It appears they are doing just that.

Thank you, Roy and Skai McKeag for spreading joy!

Poster in the Volunteer Center window at Hough

Hough Elementary in Vancouver, Washington, has a poster from The Joy Team up in the window of their Volunteer Center, which faces the main lobby of the school.

A true community school, Hough is in the heart of downtown Vancouver and is one of the few schools to have its own foundation. The Hough Foundataion supports the children of Hough with a Family Services professional, music & food programs, clothing and more. 58% of Hough students are eligible for free or subsidized lunch.

Barbara Hammon, the Volunteer Coordinator, hung the You Make a Difference poster in the window after volunteer Kristin Shattuck brought it in and plans to give them out to school volunteers at the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon next week.

Thank you Kristin, Barbara and Hough Elementary for making a difference and spreading some joy!

Spread Joy on YouTube

Mel Minarik from Reno, Nevada, posted the link to this great video on YouTube on The Joy Team’s Facebook page last week.

It shares a great message about turning off the noise and choosing joy instead. The song is pretty catchy; watch the video and pretty soon you’ll be finding yourself singing, “Spread joy, spread it around–all around the town.”

Thanks, Mel, for passing this along!

Know of other videos, songs, movies, books, websites, and/or organizations  spreading joy? Let us know!

Christine Wallace Tau is the newest member of The Joy Team!

Thank you, Christine, for helping us spread joy!

Cedar House Media

Just got business cards for The Joy Team delivered today, compliments of Cedar House Media.  And they are Fab-u-lous!

I got the 15 pt silk laminate.  Oh-so-lovely. And the prices for full-color cards can’t be beat.  Seriously.  If you need some, give Cory a call and tell him I sent you.

Thank you, Cedar House!
