Be In Your Joy

Welcome to the first edition of #CaraokeWithCarrie. Song: Halo by Beyoncé + Carrie on backup vocals. This is me directly after the gym, sweaty hair, no makeup, no filter, off key, belting that shit out. Happy. As. Fuck.
🎤
Why am I sharing? I want to share more of what brings me joy, and belting it out in the car definitely hovers at the top of that list. I’m sharing because it’s what I do. I’m sharing to show all of us it’s okay to be vulnerably ourselves. As per usual, kindly keep scrolling if this doesn’t float your boat, cuz it’s going to keep coming.
🎼
This one is in honor of my brother, Ben, who we lost to suicide 11/11/14. Tomorrow is Ben’s birthday (post to come). I know this song is about lovers, but I cannot help but think about Ben now whenever I hear it. Without fail, right around this part, I get emotional. It doesn’t matter how happy I am or how far from thought Ben is, when this part hits, he is on my heart.
😇
Wherever you are whatever you are doing, ask yourself if what you’re doing is bringing you closer to joy. If not, adjust. Life is about joy. I may be emotional here, but I feel in flow when I’m singing in the car. I’m in my happy place.

Be in your happy place more.
❤️
