Hi there! I’m Shannon🌹💚🕊️, and welcome to my little corner of the web🌸🌍🌈. In the mid-90’s, my first website was live through Simplenet.com with a bit of self-taught HTML coding and MS Frontpage, during a friendlier age on the internet—when early adopters connected webpages through links, circles, and rings, and formed online communities around common interests—and before social media became all the rage.
Later on in January 2021, I transitioned to self-taught WordPress when launching ShannonofJoy.com and JoyAlchemy.com, continuing in flow after self-publishing The Gospel of Joy on the Christmas Star of 2020.
All writings here are 100% “organic,” and filled with real-life-graced wisdom and spirituality from me (Shannon) unless otherwise attributed. Behind the scenes, there’s no freelance or contracted writers, no editors, no investors, and no secret or hidden sponsors, affiliations, or agreements. (And yes, as of the moment you’re reading these words*, it’s still just me and WordPress for website design—with my Beloved Dave’s graphic design on some key publications and all of Light on Light‘s offerings on ISSUU.com).
Here, you’ll find a living space—a Stream of 🌸🌍🌈 Living Joy—where stories, reflections, and simple practices come together for living a life of peace and joy—right here, right now, on Earth.
It’s a place to breathe, to think, to smile, and to remember that joy isn’t something you chase — it’s something you let happen.
Nothing here is hidden behind paywalls, memberships, or complex rituals.
Joy was never meant to be complicated.
Joy is meant to be lived.

*PS, Welcome to the river of life.
Right here is the moment where life is created, and all things are made new.
Right now the past is history (you can let it go, for it is completed),
and the future does not exist (you can let that go, for it has not happened yet).
Everything is possible here.
From this moment onward…live in joy.💫
