The Story of Joy's Journey...

I began my illustrious career like so many others, by simply falling into it. In 1978 my extremely talented and highly-touted photographer dad passed away and my life changed forever. As a former model driven to preserve the family name, plus stretch my creative genes, I took up the study of photography and reopened his studio. After developing my signature “moody black and white soulful portraits that seem to capture a person’s true essence” I was discovered by a renowned magazine publisher, and soon after a four page expo of my work appeared in a premier keeper issue, that birthed a very exciting national renowned career with a celebrity clientele that lasted for 14 years.

My mission has always been to inspire men and women, professionals and their companies to fearlessly achieve their highest potential. My mission serves as a North Star to guide my life and my work – inspiring others and informing everything I do. So it was a natural for my interests to move into Television and a show I hosted called Catch The JOY, based on finding positive solutions to negative problems for women over 4o.

This experience ignited my passion for sharing these pearls of wisdom through speaking to all sorts of companies and organizations, and then writing about it. Fortunately others wanted to read what I had to say and How an Ordinary Woman Can Have an Extraordinary Life: The Formula for The Art of Living Well, is now an international Best Seller, produced in 14 languages in 22 countries!

As the popularity of my Inspirational Keynote speeches and Empowering Mentor Coaching practice continued to grow, I answered the demand to record and facilitate what I believe to be “totally transformational” MIND OVER MATTER CHALLENGE Audio Series, which is now utilized by individuals and groups all over the world. Soon after I answered another demand, a book for men called,
How an Ordinary Guy can become an Extraordinary Guy ~from a woman’s point of view~ clearly the answers many men are seeking.

By applying the principles of The Formula to my own seemly impossible dream: IT’S JUST A GAME... IT’S ALL IN HOW YOU PLAY IT: A TRAVELHOLICS SEARCH FOR LIFE’S SIMPLE SECRETS & THE DESSERT DU JOUR, traveling to the most amazing cities in the world, only staying and dining in the best five star hotels, and creating one of the best high-end marketing keeper books ever!

As I am living my dream of inspiring and encouraging others to live the life they were meant to live—putting the Extraordinary in the ordinary—with all my varied acclaimed successes I still feel my greatest achievement is the loving relationships I have with my family, friends and community. Through my private foundation, the Pay It Forward Angels Network, I am now able to give FREE books to women in need, and as of 2011, the champion for The Circle of Community Partnership.org, an on-going creative collaboration between all the non-profits and citizen leaders in Sarasota Florida to share time, talent and resources…even when money is scarce.
As a passionate explorer, I now split my time between Florida and amazing places—depending on the mood, weather, or wherever the next adventure has taken me. For anyone who wants to learn more about my speaking, coaching or charitable work, what’s involved with having your own marketing message customizing on one of my popular books, or bringing me in to enhance the communication skills individually or in your company... I would be delighted to meet with you for a gratis creative session. Just give me a call, email or send me a dove with your message attached~ I will be delighted to hear from you.
