Here’s more about JT:
Makeup and fashion have always been a passion of mine. I remember growing up I always cared about my skin care and started playing in makeup as young as five. I would take my mom’s makeup and spend hours doing different looks, figuring out what makeup was and how it changed my face. After moving to Houston to go to TSU, and not passing my classes, I was at a cross road. My mom wasn’t going to pay my bills or pay for me to “play” in college and suggested that I go to school to be an esthetician (skin care/waxing/makeup specialist). I attend Paul Mitchell. In 7 months I learned so much about being a young professional. Post gradation I moved back to Houston. 3 months in my friend suggested I checked out LAMIK in Sharpstown Mall. LAMIK was wonderful there was makeup, waxing, lashes, skin care and a great vibe. I had to be a part of LAMIK. After interviewing with the store manager I was ready to learn. LAMIK changed everything about me and has opened so many doors for me. Now I am able to do what I love and give back. #LOVEANDMAKEUPINKINDNESS.

Here’s a bit more about Heather’s story.
Speaking out has always been difficult for me. I prefer to listen. These are two reasons I love my work as a social worker. I meet extraordinary individuals who share stories of struggles and hardships that are hard to imagine. Although our external situations are sometimes vastly different, the same raw emotions lying beneath them are often very much the same. In this way, I am given the gift of learning how others have overcome obstacles. In order to advocate for my clients, I have to speak out. I draw on the courage my clients showed by opening up to me when I fear losing my voice. I believe there is almost nothing greater than realizing we each have a voice, a story, and tremendous worth. It is my dream that each of us can find our voice and know our strength.

Here’s more about Theresa’s story.
I am most passionate about inner strength, peace and happiness. Six years ago, I was a victim of a heinous crime and my life was turned upside down. Everything I knew was obliterated. I embraced hope and strength by the hand, removed myself and my children from a violent environment and started my journey as a single mother of two boys. Due to physical injuries, I was unable to continue with my legal career. I began my new life with a physical, emotional and professional cleanse. I have risen above many obstacles and face each day with a newly found courage! I currently enjoy spending time with my family and making healthy lifestyle choices. I am talented with designing hair and makeup and offer my services to family and friends. I have also developed a passion for creating custom cakes. I design cakes for weddings, birthdays or any special occasion. I see there are unlimited possibilities with what I can do with my talents and the only limitations are the ones I put on myself. Along this journey I have discovered I AM a strong, creative, and resilient woman. I AM inspiring. I AM eager to let my life unfold with creativity, love and laughter!

Here’s more about Minling’s story.
I started {the JOY depot} after I left my corporate job. It was my way of searching for more meaning in my life. Along the way, I discovered that other people wanted to do the same - to break free from their jobs and start creating their lives. Last year, I decided I wanted to also create a movement to bring JOY & Love into people’s lives, thus World JOY Day was born. It’s a day where people can celebrate by filling the day with things that bring them JOY and things that bring other people JOY and is happening March 20th, 2013. Each one of us has the power to choose JOY! I invite everyone to make their declaration and to choose JOY!

Here’s more about Alix.
A few years ago, I was diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition which has compromised my eyesight. Over time, reading a book, driving, and even something as simple as seeing the face of a friend became a challenge and I began losing hope. I was disheartened and didn’t know where to turn, but realized I had to do something. I then found yoga. When I am on my mat, I feel strength where there is weakness; courage, gratitude and compassion where I feel there is no hope; and warmth and love where I feel I am alone on my journey. My mat is where I go in search of peace. It is my sacred space. And it is where I go to feel normal. While I am on my mat, I am like everyone else in the room.
Around the time I started practicing yoga, I began taking photographs as a way to nurture my eyes and keep them active. I spend hours at a time looking through the lens of my camera. Each time I am behind the camera is an opportunity to discover new beauty. And though I have this obstacle, yoga has helped me to look past it.
I sometimes wonder why I am losing my eyesight. After all, I enthusiastically want to see life and beauty in all things. Perhaps someone else is on a similar journey. My hope is that they will find strength in me and become inspired to continue on their journey and do amazing things.
In the beginning of my yoga practice I was searching for wellness but what I found was so much more. I found strength, courage, love, compassion, inspiration and hope.
