OOH LA LA is a state of mind!
I started this newsletter as a space to celebrate the ordinary delights and feel-good aliveness of our days.
I got here because I’ve been thinking more about what kind of world I want to help create, and what I can contribute to this vision.
One thing I know for sure is that intentionally practicing pleasure is something I want more of in my life and dare I say, something I think is revolutionary too.
The more in tune we are with our passions and pleasures, the more nourished and powered up we are to be creative and compassionate.
“For once we begin to feel deeply all the aspects of our lives, we begin to demand from ourselves and from our life-pursuits that they feel in accordance with that joy which we know ourselves to be capable of.”
― Audre Lorde
And more than ever, I know we need more powerful, light-filled, and juiced-up shiny hearts, full of creativity and love to create the world of our dreams.
That’s what this space is all about.
OOH LA LA is an internet playground all about the pleasures and passions of our days!
It’s about feeling deeply all the aspects of our lives and naming the ordinary wonders and joys of being human.
It’s a space where we can collectively pay tribute to the things we are into- from the perfect cream on your coffee to the bliss of a new notebook, from spotting a flower growing in the sidewalk to having a good cry, or reading a resonate poem, or snuggling your dog, or learning a magic trick, or dancing under a disco ball- all matters of silly, mundane, exciting, simple, wild, wonderful, weird, beautiful things are welcome!
And while pleasure is a serious business, but it’s also meant to be a place we can play.
Each week, I’ll share with you some of my delights and I’ll also invite YOU to share your OOH LA LA lists of things too.
Not into saying OOH LA LA? That’s ok!
Maybe try on one of these synonymous phrases when you go about your day:
★ Hot Diggity Dog!
★ Rock My Socks Off!
★ Holey Moley!
★ Gimme Dat!
★ Da Bomb Dot Com!
★ Pop Off!
Anything that makes you feel this way is an OOH LA LA something to celebrate!
Thanks for being here!!
XOXO,
Lindsey Jo
