Finally had my conversation with the therapist who is planning to adopt that my friend thought I might enjoy speaking to. My friend was right. A very interesting two-hour long conversation actually.
I didn’t realize I had so much to say about my adoption experience to a complete stranger no less, but then [...]

God is so faithful!

Posted on February 20, 2008. Filed under: Local news |

By Joy A. Kennelly
I’m just so happy that things are getting shaken up in my little hometown and the news came to cover the once-a-year review of the bars who are messing up our community! Thank you God for this small victory.
Now on to the next battle because I have a feeling it’s only just [...]

Sure helps to get out of town when you need to clear your head. My favorite place to run away to is Ojai. If you’ve never gone, you’re really missing out.
It’s about 2 hours outside of L.A. on the way to Santa Barbara and has some great spas, restaurants, art galleries and [...]

Reading some great books right now…

By Joy A. Kennelly

The first was suggested reading in a Bible Study I [...]

By Joy A. Kennelly
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with this holiday. Oftentimes planning singles events and parties for all my friends to attend. Sometimes heartbroken. Sometimes happy. Sometimes content.
This year I decided to celebrate and send all my family little love gifts. I found the cutest toys for some of my nieces and son at [...]

Children are absolutely precious

Posted on February 7, 2008. Filed under: Adoption emotions |

By Joy A. Kennelly
Every time I need love from a child I go to visit my friend Kirsten because even though I do nothing more than play with her kids and really listen to what they have to tell me, they just love me! I don’t give them gifts that often, but I give them [...]

Project Touch and the value of a caring family

By Joy A. Kennelly
