YOUR WORDS

“Thank you for your positivity and; for the immeasurable joy you bring to people like me, Ms B. Your existence really gives me hope. Thank YOU:)” – Chloé via Twitter @greendiarist

“When I look at your pictures, I feel like there is another world out there, a beautiful world, that is perfect for that brief moment between when your shutter snaps open and closes. They make me happy. Keep up the good work!” – EpiHackr (blogger)

“Wow. Your energy and love for life is inspiring. Reading this most definitely positively affected my day :). All the philosophical and existential themes that excite me all come back to a focus on the moment. The fleeting fraction of time that separates our continuous reality from our memory. And your blog is pursuing one of the best moments. The feeling when you are so happy that the only thing to do with the energy is jump. Jump for joy; jump for life. Jump to remember the beauty of the world. Continue what you’re doing, because you are making an impact in the world!” – tonotmissthebliss

“I came across your Jump for Joy project a few months ago and I found it really great and inspiring! I appreciate creative projects like this and I also believe in and support the shift to a positive thinking and a happy life.” – Arminda Arsoi (psychologist from Romania)

“You always choose such beautiful quotes here! The way you spread the joy is so distinct, so transparent, so real. Just thank you for being out there and sharing what you share in the way you do and do so well. You truly are a living example – and I love it.” – “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” ― Howard Thurman. It is impossible to not feel it when real. Just … Thank You.” Solaz

“This is just amazing. Looking at your photographs has instantly put a smile on my face, here alone at home. They successfully capture joy and inspire. I most certainly will follow your adventures (with admiration and perhaps a tinge of jealousy, haha) and share with my circles. Well done.” – Marika

“thank you for sharing your project with the world! I think that is exactly what the world and the human hearts are jumping inside to really act out. To jump for the joy itself already imbedded, inherent in us, in whatever way comes perfect – it’s there, closer than our own legs, we cannot really do anything about that, can’t we 🙂 But to really see it, feel it, live it, share it, be it – that is something we can do about!!! We are that, and why not be that joy, that vivid, flourishing light, now, in this very moment?! It’s really beautiful what you do, thank you. It just makes me glad to know that the project exists, breathes and breathes. Enjoy whatever you do, however you do! – Sofia Norman via email (Sweden)
