Concepts We Build On - J.I.V.E (Joy, Integrity, Vibrancy, Encouragement)

Hey awesome reader, thanks for coming back. Today we would like to introduce the pillars we built our foundations on. If you have read are introductions post then you will know we love acronyms around here, and our blogs' pillars are based on this. So to do this, we are now going to look at each word and what it means in the context we use it. Then we will look at a few other little things that tie up what we build our blog on. The Pillar of Joy Our first word is Joy, we did say that this could be an acronym of its own we will get to that in a moment. Joy to us is about chasing fulfillment not happiness. We need it to be our strength when things are not going so well, it is not just a feeling it is a lifestyle.

Self-love for Bloggers

Dear Awesome readers, I strongly believe that we are all three-part beings.  We are spirits, with souls living in flesh cases called bodies. Your spirit and soul live forever, but your body does not.   This belief guides what I am about to say below, but you don't have to believe this in order to get the point of what I am going to share with you, I've just included my own belief for background purposes. This is a concept I like to call simple temple living.  This is based on the idea that we are  OK, with that said let's jump into today's post. Let's start by defining what I believe about each element of our three parts. I could be wrong, but this is how I understand things. The Soul - Designed for connection with others, we are relational beings. I t is also the centre of our emotions and if we hurt inside it's usually the soul that feels the pain. The Spirit - The essence of you, your passions, creativity and desire for something more comes from this part o...
