A night I felt shy 🫣 if you can believe it. On A night I felt shy 🫣 if you can believe it.

One night, Kendall + I were out on a date 📅

We started at Red Emma’s ☕ to get to know each other better while we made postcards to send to strangers 💌(see this week’s 11K Mission!).

They started an event🎙️ in the main space + they shushed us.🤫

So we went to 🚗 Peabody Brewery.

There was lots going on! 🧶 Crafting 📚Fundraiser for books 🎸Band 🐸 People in costume. It was cute.

We talked + created more. 🗨️Before it was time to go, she asked me if I had those bookmarks 🔖 I mentioned earlier. I did + she started quickly putting 11K stickers 🏷️ on them (they said “You’re Doing Amazing!”)

BTW: I admire her skills to do things while walking. 🚶‍♀️I think that might be something that comes w/ being a parent. I can barely walk without walking into a door frame.😂

She was on a mission to do OUR missions.

But as soon as we walked into the main brewery, I felt shy. 😳 It’s not something that happens often, but it did. Kendall is a rare breed of people, like me (usually), who is good at interacting with strangers. 🗣️ (We prefer it in fact.)

I didn’t say how I was feeling because I knew we could do it. + worst case I could leave things in spots 👀 for people to find later. 🎁 I just didn’t really feel like approaching people for whatever reason.🤷‍♀️

Kendall was a cartoon blur 💨 handing out bookmarks, + I was scrambling to keep up.⚡ Adding more stickers, pulling out more mystery goody bags from my 🌈 rainbow Merry Poppins bag 👛

Once she had infiltrated the craft table, we found really similar souls. 👭

2 of them found us + told us how much it meant to them. How much they needed it. 🫶 They were so kind + lovely. I gave them more goodies + my business card. 🃏 Told them about 11K

Kendall is also great at taking pictures for others + she captured this picture of us together 📸 I love it.

Everyone gets shy. 🆗 You can do missions however feels good in the moment + it doesn’t hurt to have people with you. There’s power in numbers. 👥

Come to the next 🎈Operation Merriment event to try it! 🗓️ Nov 22nd

Can't come❓️What's a little joy you'll make instead?

I’m hoping to get the support 🤝 of everyone i I’m hoping to get the support 🤝 of everyone in Positive Pulse to help keep me running the free space with 250+ resources 📚🏫 for mental health, happiness habits, and alternative self-help. 🌈

(which costs over 💲$600/month to run before getting new members or the 👩‍🎨 time I put in).

If everyone in the group were to upgrade and pay 89¢ 🪙 I could cover all the fees! Unfortunately, we’ve only had 13 people upgrade so far. 😞

If you can afford less than a dollar 👛 to help a thousand people 🌍 maintain their access to this community and joyful self-help library, please consider going to the link below! (Also in bio) 🫶

And YOU get the resources, too!! 🤩

#crowdfunder #needsupport #fundraiser #mentalhealthsupport #actsofkindness
Imagine 1,000 people x 89¢. 🤔⚡️ That cove Imagine 1,000 people x 89¢. 🤔⚡️

That covers EVERY expense 🤑 to keep Positive Pulse thriving ... resources, events, pep talks, everything.

THAT’S community power. 💪

Keep the wonder and support us by 🗓️ November 21st to 🔐 lock in your rate for life (and you’ll still get a 7-day🆓 trial!) ➕  your Joy Scout badge & 🎁 30 page workbook! 📒

Together, we keep the joy alive. 🫶
I’m here to work in ways that feel alive. 😻 I’m here to work in ways that feel alive. 😻

Some days that means building something tangible, ✍️ other days it means speaking an idea out loud 🎤 and watching it land in someone else’s mind.

I pay attention to the details that tell the bigger story. 🏰
The way a conversation shifts the air in a room. 💬
The spark when someone realizes they’re capable of more than they thought. 💫

My path moves like water. ⛲ It changes shape. It finds new ways forward.

And in that movement, it keeps creating spaces where connection, creativity, and possibility can grow.
PP is a great place for 🔹 caregivers, 🔸 proc PP is a great place for 🔹 caregivers, 🔸 procrastinators, 🔹 creatives, 🔸 worn out wonders, 🔹 weirdos, 🔸 sensitive souls, 🔹 and even people who are skeptical about why self-help matters or can help.
I love every chance I get to go to Have A Nice Day I love every chance I get to go to Have A Nice Day! ☕

I’ve been going for over a decade, and this time was a great way for me to 🖍️ make 35 new acts of merriment! @haveaniceday2015 

Stay tuned for 🎙️ Jess on the podcast!

❣️ This week’s 11K Community Feature is a li ❣️ This week’s 11K Community Feature is a little different!

Part of my mission with 11K is that I want us all to start documenting, sharing, and spreading good news. 📰🌞

📸 You’ll notice the first part of that is documentation. 

This isn’t just because I wanna see photos. It’s because EVERYONE does. 😉

It’s because we are constantly inundated with negative news, ☹️ and they have imagery to back it up. 🗞️

Visuals are MUCH easier to capture our attention. 📽️ They distract us.

So part of WHY I want to include documentation is to help 

🟡 A) counteract the negativity 
🟣 ****B) give us an equal chance to counteract that negativity WITH visuals 
🟢 C) help us train ourselves TO document things not just FOR points A + B, but for reconditioning ourselves to believe that documenting “small” acts of good news IS worth it! 👍

That all being said, since I started the 11K Project, I have received a TON of submissions that didn’t include media. 🗳️ But I want to make sure that they are getting recognized as well! ✅

Because as MUCH as what I said DOES matter and IS true, these things ARE still happening (AND SO MUCH MORE THAT YOU AREN’T SUBMITTING!!) so every once in a while I’m going to share some non-media submissions. 🤩

Here’s a shout out to some those people. 🙌

And don’t forget to ask yourself, 🤔 what was a way that YOU created joy, fun, or kindness recently? Your answer to that is A SUBMISSION! 📥

Submit it, and next time DOCUMENT IT and THEN submit it!!
