Tell Me About Joy

Kara Kavensky’s memoir, TELL ME ABOUT JOY is inspired by a WWII Veteran named Bob who courageously shared with her his biggest regret: missing out on marrying the love of his life. He had not spoken of this woman in sixty-seven years.

What began as a routine assignment turned into the story that changed everything.

Bob sent Kara on a quest to find his long-lost love.

Her name is Joy. Spoiler alert: She found her! As a happy side effect of her mission, she also found joy in her own life — and she wants to share more joy!

You are invited to share your joy. Tell us about the person who changed your life with a simple act of kindness, unexpected love, or quiet generosity. We’ll share these stories to inspire more joy.

Bob’s regret turned into the most joyous experience for Kara, and while hers is the origin story for TellMeAboutJoy.Substack.com, she’s started a grassroots movement to pull others into the conversation.

Let’s share moments of unexpected joy in our lives. We want to hear your stories.

Tell me about joy.
