Welcome to VITA GIOIOSA, a “JOYFUL LIFE” where success is found in the heart of each joyful moment you experience with friends, family, coworkers, community, and in peaceful solitude. Living joyfully is the true meaning of self-care. To clarify, a joyful life is not a spa day or string of vacations. Rather it is an intention that you offer to every minute of every day. Your intention is–VITA GIOIOSA–to be JOYFULLY ALIVE.
How I Stopped Living During the Course of My Life
The phrase “Vita Gioiosa” is a common reference in Italian culture. The phrase means a “joyful life.” In the Italian culture and in most others I’d guess, to live joyfully is to be ALIVE. Growing up as an Italian American, I heard this phrase and learned how to live joyfully from my family and extended family. I was innocently joyfully alive. But in the midst of becoming a college graduate, earning a professional degree, and landing the big house and a corner office at work, I stopped being truly alive. I loved my family and was dedicated to my job but I forgot joy. For example, perhaps you have had financial success. You may have been the subject of promotion or admiration. Additionally, there may be an array of certificates or awards in your office. Maybe you are a socialite on everyone’s invitation list. But in every one of those moments of gathering, success, promotion, and recognition, were you truly happy–joyful?
Service Requires Self-Care
The goal of this site, VITA GIOIOSA, and persons who follow this site is a shared intention to be alive–joyfully alive. This is a community of individuals who have lived life and most likely experienced loss, failure, injustice, or even trauma. It is through these experiences of pain or grief that wisdom emerges. Through grief or loss, we realize life is short and valuable. Moreover, in retrospect we acknowledge that our life is a gift and most likely one that has not been fully enjoyed. If you are like me you have spent a lifetime taking care of others and like me it fills your heart and so you will continue to serve. In the process of grieving, hurting, and serving, if you are like me, we forget to take care of ourselves. Our time has come.
