Simple Joys Every Day with Justine Willis Toms

Program Description

For more than thirty years Justine Willis Toms has been the heartbeat of New Dimensions and the wealth of wisdom and inspiration it broadcasts around the world each week. Now Ms. Willis Toms takes the other side of the mic to share her own insights about living consciously, fearlessly, joyfully. Hear inside stories about her conversations with beloved New Dimensions guests, the women’s circles with whom she’s shared laughter, love, and tears across generations, and even a quiet moment meditating with birds in her own backyard. Shining through it all are her fresh appreciation for life, and her rare ability to find inspiration in the simple pleasures life has to offer. “What a wonderful opportunity we have to live in this incarnation in a physical form on this exquisite planet,” she exclaims. “Maybe the whole point of being here is to be in joy, and to be in ecstasy. To do that means to be present in the moment. I know we pay the mortgage, we raise kids, we take them to soccer – we do what we have to do. But we can do it with a kind of presence. We can find ourselves.” (Hosted by Cheryl Esposito)
