Joy Through Art with Intention with Jennifer Colombo
12/19/24 • 36 min
Jennifer Faye Colombo is a watercolor artist living in Connecticut. Her intention is to give the viewer an opportunity to tune into calm, peace and joy through her various collections. Jen is super grateful to live near the water, her happy place that influences many of her paintings. In addition to painting, Jen creates journals and card decks to support others on their journey. A Pocket Full of Joy is one of her card decks created as reminders to find joy daily including the little moments.
Her Card Deck was written by accident after writing different affirmations and reminders for herself. If she needed the reminders to tap in and tune into joy daily, then others need that too. She always thought that JOY was the bigger thing in life, like our JOYFUL occasions but there are little things throughout the day that can bring us JOY and if we take a pause and start to notice them. Some examples: noticing the dew drops on the blade of grass or a delightful conversation can add up to big JOY moments!
You could just spend a few seconds to tap into JOY.
She loves sharing her paintings with others. Sharing her art with others is how she serves others in bringing JOY into their lives.
She creates general art and personal art for people. Her work has intentions behind it. Jen always asks her clients to set an intention with her of why they want her to work with them. Setting the intentions makes a deeper, more impactful feeling for those who view the art.
One general piece of art she shares with others are her ̈Joyful Bubble ̈ paintings. She receives lots of comments on how happy they make people. It brings back memories of playing with bubbles and a reminder to tune into those bubbles of joy.
She is the conduit to pass that joyful energy onto the page. Her clients and her are co-creating together even though she is the one doing the artwork.
She also creates creative exploration with others. She gets them to tap into their own creative flow. It can be artwork, or setting intentions. People find it relaxing, fun, playful and JOYFUL! Creating SHOULD be fun!
Jen always creates for herself to help her move through emotions. It is for her own pure JOY and entertainment.
How else does Jen tap into JOY when she is not in that flow?
- She pulls from her own card deck
- Painting
- Going down to the beach
- Put on music
- Dance partners
Her last piece of advice:
̈Everyday be conscious of cultivating JOY in your life. ̈
Ask the question:
What brings me JOY and can I do that today?
Such a powerful conversation with Jen!

Dinner Dialogues: Notification Distractions and Screen Time Amount
This episode was recorded right before the holidays. I found an interesting article in the AARP magazine that talked about memory and steps on how to improve your memory. Even though AARP is for "old" people there were some great pieces of information about the distractions that notifications play in our lives. Every time our phones beep, we pick up the phone immediately and it derails our brain from the task we were focused on. It actually takes some time for use to refocus.
I have learned that coming to the table with data and research is much better than dictating something without any back ups. So instead of saying..."Your phone is not allowed to be with you during homework." I have learned that bringing in the research as to why phones should not be close when doing homework. That is why I shared this article. This brings in a conversation of multitasking and the impossibility of it even though we think we can do it. Do you think you can muli-task?
We then move to our screen time check. It is pretty funny to hear where we are all at what our goals are. If we do not check our screen time numbers than we do not know how much time we spend on our screens and it is actually very eye-opening. It is MUCH MORE than you expect!!
I challenge you to look at your screen time each week.
Our dinner dialogues are fun and make me laugh often.
Please share this episode with ONE person you know who will LOVE it and gain value. Our goal is to show others that all families can NAVIGATE JOY TOGETHER.
