Storybox Playlist: Stories to Inspire Joy
Joy. It doesn’t need a big production to make itself known. In fact, it’s usually small moments intertwined within everyday life that make it shine the brightest. The sparkle atop newly fallen snow, an unexpected hug from your child, the first bite of a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, or any of the other millions of things that ignite a small spark of happiness in your belly and immerse you fully in the present moment. The trick is to pay attention. When you take the time to focus on the world around you no matter where you are, you’re bound to find joy popping up in fresh ways.
Stories to Inspire Joy is all about reveling in the joys of everyday life. Listen in as a cast of Sparkle characters experience joy in different ways — working together with friends and family, doing things they love, and having new adventures.
