For Discussion
"We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep." – William James
Joy and Connection often go hand in hand—sometimes, the most fleeting encounters leave a lasting impact. Think of a moment when a spontaneous interaction, a kind word, or an unexpected connection filled you with joy. What made it stand out? Did it shift your perspective, remind you of something important, or simply bring a sense of warmth and possibility? These small yet powerful moments ripple through our lives in ways we don’t always realize. Share a time when connection sparked joy, and explore why it still.
