Feral Holiday Cards, Coats, and Bulldogs

December 12, 2025
This week Sara is flying solo on Joy Moments because Lacey is dealing with a flare-up. Which is actually a perfect reminder that joy moments aren't about ignoring what's hard. There's plenty we're not enjoying or wish weren't happening. Joy moments is about highlighting those little moments throughout the day that we can focus on to lift us up.

Sara asked friends to share their joy moments this week. Listen to hear about:

  • Holiday cards that have become years of collected art
  • An 1800s farmhouse that finally feels warm
  • Feral holiday postcards made while watching Frozen 2
  • A kindness rebellion that got 4,000 likes on Threads
  • The warmest green thrift store coat
  • Dancers in windows like living snow globes
  • A 13-year-old bulldog getting a calendar launch party
  • Unclaimed funds waiting to be discovered
  • A hawk on a lamppost and the stranger who graciously indulged Sara's bird enthusiasm

Plus, there are some surprise guests you'll hear throughout the episode.

All these tiny drops in the bucket. That's the joy ripple.
