Hello {{contact.first_name}},
We welcome ambassador Burcu Onaranel - Erten as our guest contributor this week.
"My journey with The Chair of Joy has been truly remarkable. It all started in 2021 when I unexpectedly met Sheryl Lynn, and little did I know that this encounter would coincide with the arrival of the love of my life, leading to a beautiful story of love intertwined with the Chair of Joy.
I firmly believe that the universe brings people together when they need each other, and my collaboration with Sheryl seemed predestined. The Chair of Joy Experience has profoundly impacted my life, complementing The Coffee o'clock Experience I had been practicing for years. This combination has become a powerful way to navigate life's challenges.
One particularly challenging period was in December 2022 when I found myself at the hospital caring for my terminally ill mother-in-law while also trying to nurture my relationship with my fiancé. The doctor's grim prognosis left us both feeling helpless and overwhelmed. Thanks to my knowledge of The Chair of Joy, I managed to find moments of peace amid the turmoil. Though I occasionally felt anger, my daily connection with Sheryl reminded me that these emotions would pass. I focused on what needed to be done, supporting my fiancé's decision to return to work and entrusting me to care for his mother alongside his sister.
My days were consumed by hospital visits, household chores, and the practice of the Chair of Joy, particularly in the mornings. Despite societal norms dictating distance from in-laws, I followed my heart and took on this role. I'm grateful I did because it allowed me to be there when my mother-in-law needed it most. She spent a month in the hospital and then 10 days at home before passing away on January 19. While it may seem like a sad story, there was joy to be found even in this difficult journey. Her release from suffering was a form of joy, and I hope she now rests in peace.
Now, as I look ahead, I eagerly anticipate a significant milestone in my life—my wedding with my husband (we legally married in April 2023). Our wedding day, set for September 21, is a celebration of our love. Although my mother-in-law won't be there in person, I believe she'll be present in spirit. This upcoming wedding ceremony fulfills a dream we've had for years, and I can't wait to experience the joy of that special day with the love of my life.
I am immensely thankful for Sheryl, who has been an integral part of this journey, and I look forward to creating more joy-filled memories with all of you, fellow leaders committed to living joyfully.
Until next time, stay with Joy!"
