Day 3: Joy Jar Jubilee + Saturday Sunshine Spark Hunt
Gather smiles, spot the light, and sprinkle joy - one sunbeam at a time.

Read time: 3 minutes
🌞Hey’all - Good morning! Let’s slow-sip Saturday with ease, warmth, and a wink of wonder.
It’s Saturday and the world is sprinkled with little sparks of joy just waiting to be noticed.
Today, we invite you to begin with our Saturday Sunshine Spark Hunt! Step outside (or glance around your space) and find three tiny bursts of brightness maybe a blooming flower, a golden ray of sunlight, or a quirky mug with a cheerful design.
📸 Snap a photo of one, and if it makes you smile, share it with the hashtag #SaturdaySunshineSpark. Don’t forget to tag someone special to pass on the glow and keep the good vibes flowing.
Let today be your reminder: wonder is everywhere, you just have to look.
Ritual of the Week
Joy Jar Jubilee: Saturday
Welcome to your moment of magic, your Joy Jar continues to grow into a treasure chest of light and tiny victories!
✨ Mid-morning pause (1 min):
• Gently close your eyes. Inhale deeply… exhale slowly, twice.
• Let one thing that made you smile this morning float to the surface.
📝 Joy note (1 min):
• Grab a small slip of paper and write down that moment:
- “I laughed when…”
- or “I felt proud that I…”
💛 Jar deposit (30 sec):
• Fold your note like a little gift and place it into your Joy Jar, your growing vault of everyday happiness.
🔮 Affirmation whisper (15 sec):
• Rest your hand over the jar and softly affirm:
“My heart is full of light.”
📅 Sneak peek plan:
• Just a few days to go! On Sunday, we’ll open the jar and revisit all your joyful sparks from the week, one note at a time.
Keep collecting, your joy is blooming beautifully.
