🌞Hey’all - Good morning! Let’s wave at Wednesday with clarity, connection, and a smile in our stride.

You've made it, welcome to the joyful summit of our Joy Jar Jubilee Week! Before we peek inside your jar of memories, let’s kick off today with a little magic: the Emoji Gratitude Relay.

How it works?
Pick one emoji that best captures your favorite joyful moment from this week maybe 🎉 for a small win, 🌼 for a peaceful pause, or 🍀 for unexpected luck. Now, send it to a friend along with a short note: “This made me think of you!”

Then invite them to pass the emoji energy forward.
It’s a lightning-quick ripple of positivity - no words needed, just feelings shared across hearts.

Ready? Let the gratitude relay begin!
