We're deeply grateful
to all of our sponsors for their support
and for partnering
with us to uplift and enrich
the lives of our listeners and viewers.
true story is to inspire you to manifest
the life you desire.
Because we really can't manifest
a set of tone of our day by the way,
we think what we say of ourselves
in the morning.
And Joyce, I read your book.
It was an easy read.
I love the wisdom that you shared.
Some of my chapters are only a page
and a half.
I know because it makes you feel like
you accomplished something
and it's easy to read. The print is good.
I didn't have to wear my readers,
you know, with this, believe it or not.
And but I'm thinking right here.
I love the idea of it, I read it.
What was the impetus
for you to write this book?
Live abundantly now. So.
Oh, thank you for sharing. Sure, sure.
Everybody needs to go out
and buy this book.
I just, I, you know, I saw that picture
and I knew it had to be
on the top of the book. Yeah.
So I wrote the book
because I keep journals.
I mean, for I don't know how many years,
and I would write down things
and write down, like what I wanted in life
and la la la la.
I've had vision boards, all of that.
And one day years ago,
somebody said to me, you know,
everything I manifest, I realized
that I made really light of it.
I almost made jokes about it to my
girlfriends, and we laughed about it.
And then it showed up
and that made me think,
oh, I think that's happened to me to.
So I began writing down.
And these short stories
are a lot of my stories,
some other people's stories about how
they attracted that in their life.
And you'll be amazed at how it happens
because it's so easy.
All I can tell you is it's so easy
that once you get it,
you can't unsee it, right?
And that it comes with what you know.
I love what you say. That spirit of ease.
Yeah.
The anointment of ease. Yes. Right. So
I think
of Caterina story in this book.
So, Katerina, I love this story
because she, she was divorced and
kind of looking to date, but not really.
And she said to her friends and herself,
you know what?
I want to find someone
that has no baggage.
About it.
But good luck, right?
Good luck.
Right.
Well, she said, was
I want the
I want everyone to be dead in your family.
No, she said, I don't want any in-laws.
Right. Maybe she went through that before.
Right. Right.
She said I don't want any in-laws.
I don't want any kids with problems.
I don't want anything like that.
And I don't want to travel.
So I want them to live really close to me.
And they would laugh about this.
It would be like, oh, yeah,
we know what she wants, right?
She wants like someone blah, blah blah.
So she,
maybe like a year
or two later,
she buys a small little house
and she goes out into a backyard
and over the fence,
she meets her neighbor, and he's this
good looking guy.
No parents.
They're gone.
Never had children.
Things are looking good.
And I'll just say that
as we're sitting here right now.
It's been years
and they are still together.
Oh, I love it.
They still live next door to each other
because they decided
that they both light
having their own space.
Yeah. And they live together.
Sometimes he goes home,
but they have a beautiful life.
And I know him. And he's an artist.
He is picture perfect for her.
And she is for him. Yeah.
It was like, what? So.
And they thought she was crazy.
And look what happened.
Yes, but in the book
you will see a picture.
She had someone made a magnet for her that
she put on a refrigerator saying that.
What chapter is this choice?
I'm going to be able to show that picture
live next.
So yeah, we're
we're all casual doing this to folks.
You know, it's like we're all hanging out
together here at the.
Yeah. Katarina.
But there's a picture of the magnet
that she had on a refrigerator.
Right?
Yeah, we got a few pictures in here.
You'll even see Michael Bolton in this.
Yes, the great Michael Bolton,
Connecticut's own.
That's a story about how we met
and how we ended up
actually having a business together.
So I can't find her.
She's while she's looking
and she's always.
She's worked with Carly Simon,
John Mellencamp, Mariah Carey,
you know, some small name people
that Joyce has been associated with.
It is, let me see.
Her dream was simple.
Meet someone, fall in love
and live next door.
Right.
That's what happened.
Yeah. Wow. I think it was. It was.
And and have your own separate
places to go if you need to.
I think that's ideal. Right.
Because especially if,
you know, if someone's sick
and maybe you don't have the room
in your house
for the person
to go to a wing of your house.
Right, right.
It would just be like,
I'm just going to sleep home tonight
because I don't want you to catch.
Well, it's like the former.
I mean, this is not related to the book,
but the former head coach of the Dallas
Cowboys, Jimmy Johnson,
when he would coach during the year,
he didn't want to be interrupted.
So he bought his own house that he had
during the season, and his family
lived down the street and and, you know,
just basically a block or two away.
But they never saw him anyway.
But they had the means to do that, right?
He was a Hollywood couple,
and I don't remember their names,
but they had adjoining houses
that came with a tunnel under it.
Oh, really? Yeah.
So there's an idea,
but it was really nice
because she,
when she got all dolled up at night
with her lingerie,
she would just call him and he would just
like, honey.
Always on a honeymoon.
Yeah.
It kept it interesting.
It kept the adrenaline going.
Wow, honey,
I'm on the other side of the Donald.
Yeah. Wow.
Okay,
okay, let's get back to the book here.
Okay.
I began to think of the things
that happened
in my own life, and it was as simple as.
And I'll tell you the walnut brownie story
that's in there.
So I had this hankering for Joyce. Now.
Now you got me thinking about the walnut
brownies.
I mean, she is a baker, too.
I just I love to bake.
I know you do.
I'm a good baker,
but I just, I, I like to experiment, so I.
I woke up and know it was the night before
I was shopping with my son.
He picked up a box of German
deli chocolate walnut round
coming over, who has a nut allergy.
And I said, no, no, no.
I'll just make a I'll make a simple one.
But it stayed in my mind.
I wanted that chocolate.
I want that brownie right now,
but I know I.
Yeah.
Every time
I bring home brownies to my wife,
she'll say, I love Joyce, I hate her.
I love Joyce,
I hate her as she takes another big bite.
Right?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, man.
So what happened
was I woke up that morning and
I made her the brownies,
and I thought it was done in the middle.
You know, I'm looking at it
for those of you who make brownies,
you know, they can't be too dry
because it kind of burns around the edges.
So I took it out with one hand
to pull it out
to see, you know, test it in the middle.
And the whole pants
was slid out of my hands and it was like
liquid lava that went all over
my oven, on the floor, on my shoes.
It went everywhere.
And I went, oh, yeah.
And then I started laughing.
I just everyone was sleeping in house,
but I started to laugh
and I sat on the floor and I thought,
I am just destined
not even to have a problem today.
And I mean, you didn't.
You didn't see any swear words
when that happened.
Wow. Remember that story?
Yeah, because it dripped down
like the side of my oven
in between the cabinets.
So I had to get tough.
So you had a lot of work to do
to clean it up.
But I kept saying, you know,
I'm not going to let this get me down.
Maybe I'm just not meant to.
You know me today, but it meant that
for some reason, it made me laugh.
So an hour later, I opened my front door.
There's my pal there
who never did this before.
Like, ever, ever.
Not allergy.
And she's got a white box in her hand.
And I said, what's that?
And she said, oh, I was in this.
I was in this bakery.
And they just came out with a tray
of brownies with walnuts.
And I remember that you love them.
So I got you a box.
Oh, wow.
Brownies I ever had
even better than the ones you made.
Really? I think it's
because someone else made right.
Like a fourth usually don't.
Right.
And I thought to myself, at that moment,
I think if I had cursed it,
and I think if I had been in a bad mood
for some reason,
she would have gotten that vibe like,
I'm going to get this for her, because
normally she wouldn't ever bring anything,
especially with nuts in it.
Yeah. So there it was, this gift.
And again, that made me think.
Manifest.
Manifest. Manifest. Wow.
I'll tell you something else. Why?
I think I have a chapter
in the book of about.
Sometimes my vision boards work, right?
And people will say, oh, I, I've done that
and I want to do that anymore.
And what happens
is they cut out pictures of money
or a car or house, and they look at that.
And then after months and months
and months go by, nothing showing up.
The board becomes a reminder
of what they don't have.
So I tell people,
number one,
you're the walking vision board.
You're
the one with your thoughts every day.
But if you feel like
you want to have a vision board,
don't put on like what you don't have.
Put on pictures that make you feel good.
So when you wake up in the morning,
if you love horses,
put a picture of a horse there
or sunrise, sunset
something when you wake up
that makes you feel good. Yes.
Oh, I didn't win the lottery yet.
I have the car I want. Yeah.
You know,
that's going to change everything.
And that's what I hope you know,
that this book get that message to you,
especially when you
read some other people's,
you know, their story enjoys what we say.
Two words mean things to like
you also allude to you.
You and I talked about that all the time.
Like when people say, well, I can't.
Well no, switch it around and say,
how can I or I have to go to work.
No, you get to go to work.
It's an honor and privilege
that a little bit of a pivot in
your language can change everything,
your whole mindset.
And you address a lot of that with your
with your with your book, too,
by how we look at life and how we can
manifest things by what we say
and by what we think,
instead of saying that something is,
oh, if somebody says to you,
how are things going?
And maybe you're really going
through something, and instead of telling
the whole story,
you can just say, you know what?
It's a little challenging right now.
If you change it from it's so hard right,
to it's a little challenging right now,
but I'm going to get through this.
See, the keyword was the but to there you
said it's a little challenging right now.
People could relate to that.
But I'm going to get through it. Yeah.
You know or you know nevertheless
I use that
as a transition many times
things are really, really kind of tough.
You know, I'm, you know, a little bit
tough at work right now, little stress.
But nevertheless, you know,
I'm really optimistic about things.
And you just watch how things can change
things to have a way
of changing around in your life.
It's like it's like the word disease.
Disease means lack of ease.
You know, and I think that's why a lot of
people get sick because of lack of ease.
With all of a sudden
when you get those ease thoughts
a little bit more of a, you know,
a positive mindset about yourself,
I think a lot of times,
you know, that can help. Yes.
And so many ways
you think your imagination being able to,
you know, dream about things
while while you're awake.
And I'll give you another example of that,
which is also in the book.
I was going to a job that I did not like.
Something happened at work
where the husband and wife weren't
getting along,
and I was doing public relations for them,
and it got to the point
where I found myself
crying, actually, like in the car.
So what I did, what I innately did,
don't even know why I did it,
but turned off the radio
and I started to drive
and I would pretend I had a radio show
and it was my show and I would say, hi,
this is Joyce Logan,
and today we're going to talk about
and I went into this,
you know, imaginative things that kids do,
but I loved doing that.
So I did that.
And this is going to seem really bizarre.
And you were going to say that I can't be.
But three weeks later, I was co-hosting
when someone couldn't show up in radio.
They asked me to cover for them.
I had never done that ever, ever, ever.
So I went to lunch
one day with someone
and they had their own radio show.
But I met with them because they were
they advertised on their show.
Certainly the reason
why I met them for of my client,
the one that I was having a
difficult time with.
Yes. And
we had lunch and we talked
about it and he said, well,
I'll send you information on it.
Great, great.
And I got back to my office
and the phone rang,
and it was the receptionist
saying that this person was on the phone.
And my heart started to race.
And I had this crazy thought
that he was going
to ask me to cover for him on the show.
I don't know,
you mean it could happen?
Wow. Picked up the phone and he said, I.
I have an audition.
I had a great talk with you. Yeah.
And I know that you'll be able to do this
because you listen to the show.
What you didn't know is
I didn't really ever listen to. No.
Right, right. My mother did. Right?
I knew of the show.
I knew pieces of the show, and I did.
It was the next day.
I had to. The next day.
The next day it was a five hour show
on Saturday, a four hour show on Sunday.
Only breaking for news. So talk show.
You didn't have any music to play.
Like what the what I do.
Wow, that's a lot of time to fill
what I had to talk about, or places
about businesses that he frequented,
but you didn't know.
And most of the restaurants
to talk about.
I'm vegetarian.
They were all steakhouses, places that
I would be frequenting, quite frankly.
Yes, yes, being the carnivore I am.
But when I woke,
I didn't even sleep that night.
I mean, you can imagine.
Yeah, I had like maybe two hours of sleep.
And I remember my husband saying to me,
how do you get yourself into these things?
When I said
yes, because I feel compelled to say yes.
But I said, please don't listen,
because if I know
you're listening,
I don't want anyone critiquing me.
I'm not even going to say my name.
And I and I did it the whole time.
You didn't say your name.
I think I said Joyce, I think I said Joyce
in the very beginning,
and I'm covering the show and,
and my heart
was beating out of my chest
when the red light went on.
You know, I remember
I remember the feeling when I first
did radio, like,
am I going to have the breath to speak?
Am I going to let this gun down?
I've got five hours to talk.
Five hours?
That's insane. It was. Yeah.
So the red light went on, and,
you know,
the producer went like this, right?
And I just started speaking
and I said, well, obviously,
you know, I'm not him.
And, you know,
and I'm doing obviously I'm not,
you know, you know,
we're going to have a good time today.
And I'm reading through, you know,
what is this stuff like that.
And I began to feel like I was Cinderella
who found the other shoe in my life.
It was a spirit of ease that came from me,
that I realized that I always love
speaking to people.
I am a storyteller,
and even though I was horrible
for that show
because I wasn't making sales for them
talking about it,
but people were calling in and telling
the people, answering phones like, oh,
tell her
to keep talking about those stories
because we like to hear it.
I was like, okay,
but you know, you're in your
you were in your right place
making money for them. Right?
I'll tell you, the biggest compliment
I got is by Sunday,
I had to get up and do it again.
And I was really like,
oh, you got to do it again
for hours on Sunday.
I'll see you one less hour.
But I basically crawled up.
I'm going to go to bed. Right.
And I saw that my son was calling me
and of course family I always pick up for.
So I, I picked up the phone, you know.
Hi, Tim.
And I said, I'm really, really tired.
You know, I had to work this morning.
That's all I said.
And he said, you know,
he said I was sitting
in having a cup of coffee
in a parking lot.
I think it was McDonald's.
And he always listened to the show,
which I didn't know.
And he said, it's so funny
because the woman that was on there,
I found her so comforting.
And then I realized
that she reminded me of you.
But then I thought
she was very professional.
And you're not.
Oh, geez, you got a compliment.
And that is like a backtrack.
But he never thought of me mean
on the radio, so it wasn't in his head.
Yeah, yeah, me.
That's all I needed to hear.
That made me feel like
I didn't let people down, right.
And I didn't care because I loved it,
I loved it,
and then after that, I was offered a show
for a couple of years. Wow.
That I did have a friend of mine
called the Two Wise Ladies.
But what I'm trying to say
is that came off my imagination.
Like I was doing a soothing
like save on my mind
because I so disliked where I was going
that I created this imaginary world
while I was driving
to in front of this place and think,
how little kids do that all the time.
Little kids do that all the time.
They play them right.
A lot of times they manifest
because they're out there playing,
you know, make believe.
And you were doing that make believe,
but you were manifesting something. Yes.
It was almost like the laws of
the universe are saying, Joyce,
that's for you.
Yes. Right. Yes.
And that's that's what I started
writing this book about all those times,
even though they may sound
like insignificant things to you,
it doesn't always have to be the lottery
that you win.
It could be someone shows up,
someone gives you a phone call,
a relationship that happened with your
with your husband,
Wayne, you kind of manifested that I did.
And that's also written about in the book.
Yeah.
That's a that's a very, very special story
because I loved him before
this was even possible to
be with him,
but I never I was I was in his presence
and he was married at the time
and that's all I knew we were in.
I was doing my internship at the Brantford
Counseling Center in our town,
because I just always
wanted to be a therapist.
And however, on my way to be a therapist,
I made a pit stop in radio.
And that's how you.
Yeah, because it helped me pay bills.
And I needed a therapist at the time,
like most people in radio.
Thank you. Joyce.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, those those are interesting times.
But it was during that time I was
I was this intern,
you know,
and running a group with no code run.
It wasn't running it.
It was I was in a turn
and it was a group about people
in transition, whether it was with jobs
or whatever in life.
It was a really interesting group.
And she said to me one day,
wait till you meet
someone who's joining our group,
Wayne Logan and Wayne Logan is fabulous.
And he could actually write a book
about this, you know.
But, you know, he's joining the group.
I so great.
So, you know, I really was looking forward
to meeting him.
And that morning I broke my foot.
Oh, geez.
I reached up in the closet
and something very heavy
fell on my foot
and I wanted him more room.
So I had a cast on my foot, had crutches,
but I.
Something told me I had to go
because I really wanted to meet Wayne,
not only because he was a new addition
to the group.
And we're sitting in the group setting
and he's
talking and all that, and I'm just saying,
what a marvelous man he is.
His wife is the luckiest person on earth.
That thought, you know, was in my mind.
And but there's one thing
about when we were in the group,
you know,
if you've been to an emergency room
or anything like that,
you get a hospital bracelet. Yes.
And they're impossible to know.
So I was I had the hospital bracelet on.
I was trying to maneuver it
off, you know, kind of no could see it.
And the group leader says,
Joyce, you're looking very pensive
about the conversation.
Do you want to add to this? Oh, boy.
You're
just trying to get the bracelet out.
Oh, yeah. My fingernails.
My son fingernail
got caught under a little clasp, right?
And I couldn't dislodge my hand, so I.
Oh, no.
When I, when I held it up
and I said, I'm so sorry, but I'm caught.
Wayne came over, the only one who got up,
and he knelt in front of me,
and he took my nail,
and he just eased it out.
And I thought, oh, this guy is so great.
His wife is like a lucky.
That's like circulating in your brain.
Look. Yeah.
He's shivery.
And the thing is, you know,
like the knight in shining armor.
He been. Yeah, a gentleman in every way.
Gentleman. He helped me.
You know, even
I was going on a date with someone even,
you know, helped me with something.
And and so it was so five years
after that to make the story short,
I was his wife.
Wow. And I had the opportunity
to work with this man
at many of my DJ gigs over the years,
and he was a photographer.
He also did some, you know, photo
shoots for us, you know, at my house.
And you're right.
I mean, an absolute gentleman
in every way.
And I love Jimmy Stewart
because on an earlier show
we talked about one of my favorite movies.
Yes, he reminded me of Jimmy Stewart.
Right, right.
He was tall and thin,
but he had that demeanor about him.
Just a very kind man,
not judgmental when you around him.
You felt like he, you know,
he just liked you for who you are.
Yes. That's a real gift
to, you know, had his daughter in my life.
You know, Denise,
she's a wonderful, just wonderful person.
She's like my bonus daughter.
So why don't we hold up your book again,
Joyce?
You know.
And what is this going to be available
for everybody to
by the time you see this, this
this will be on Amazon.
And if you get Kindle it's
just like pennies to get it.
But I think it will help you.
I think it will help
you see that it's not as difficult
as it appears to manifest words.
Manifest may seem too big sometimes,
but it starts with the little things
and then it grows from there.
But it's every day
just to be grateful, just to be thankful.
And once those miracles,
those little miracles are showing,
yeah, they don't stop
because you keep seeing them.
You can't unsee them.
But give them as much credit
as you do as millions of dollars,
because you will have the mindset
and peace of that within you.
Yeah, we're all looking for that peace
and and gratitude is riches.
You think about that each and every day.
Just being grateful.
And no matter how tough our lives are
and we all have
challenges, each and every one of us
is battling something right now.
There's still something to be
grateful for.
Yeah, there's a lot more, I think,
to be grateful for than than there isn't.
Oh, it's all about where you look.
If you turn on the news, it immediately
sinks your heart to the bottom.
It does.
That's why I say watch the local news,
which is great.
Learn what the weather is.
But beyond that, we don't need to know
what the whole world is doing.
Right? You can.
We can pray.
We we really can send out good energy
and all of that.
But peace begins in your home
and you have to have that to.
Life is too short not to have it.
That's right.
There's a
there's a lot going on and there's a,
there's a lot of good out there.
So just focus on focus on what's good,
what's good in your life.
And then that's the name of our show here.
What's good with John and Joyce
and tell your friends about us please.
You know let let them know about this.

best for you and your family.
