Complicated relationships create complicated situations I’ve found. You?
By Joy A. Kennelly
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!
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 [...]
Ojai – my favorite escape…
By Joy A. Kennelly
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.

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
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
Yesterday I had the privilege of visiting our local Rotary Club’s luncheon. Growing up in the South Bay, I never was involved in any service organizations because I was very involved with my local church (which probably kept me out of trouble!)
As a result, all these community service organizations are completely [...]
