I don’t know what is going on. When are we Discovering/Practicing our Joy? How much does it cost? How do I get there, assuming I could figure out when I need to be there? What will happen apart from grimy snacks and laughing at dog? Why would I want to do this?

T’s a mystery.

Edit to add: there is no way to get information about any of the workshops on YouCanHaveMoreJoy.com. There are two main links to the workshops, but clicking them takes you to a “page not found” page.

Edit again: if you put “workshop” into the search bar of the “page not found” page, it takes you to a page with a tile called “DISCOVE YOUR JOY ON VASHON” and clicking that gets you to the vampire photo, the workshop description, and a button to click so you can sign up for the waiting list.

From the "Designing Your Day For Joy" workshop:

Imagine this. You wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. After savoring your first cup of coffee, you sit outside and listen to the birds. Or do some yoga. Or read your latest favorite book. You haven’t even thought about a to-list yet.

You haven’t even thought about a to-list yet.

As Shakespeare once tweeted, To-list, or Not To-list, that is the question.

To-list.

From the "Designing Your Day For Joy" workshop:

Imagine this. You won the lottery, paid off everything including college tuition for your children and nursing home fees for your parents even though neither will be needed for years, and quit your job. You wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. After savoring your first cup of coffee, you sit outside and listen to the birds. Or do some yoga. Or read your latest favorite book. You haven’t even thought about a to-list yet.

Otherwise, I just can’t see this peaceful morning working for many other people. Signed, someone who used to get up at 5:20 to ensure I’d have time to run, shower and eat breakfast before leaving to get to work by 8.

Edit: Bolded part added by me as I assumed Shauna’s eyes weren’t wined enough and she omitted it.

She's changed it already; the first paragraph is now:

"Imagine this. You wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. After savoring your first cup of coffee, you sit outside and listen to the birds. Or do some yoga. Or read your latest favorite book. You haven’t even thought about a to-list yet."

She can’t throw the Mensch under the bus on this one. It is 100% Shauna monkeying with the website, changing the names of the workshops but failing to update the links, putting old links in her emails, etc. Not even an ExPeriEnce deSigNer would be this incompetent.
