The Information Junkie is Moving On


At my core, I'm a life-long learner. And I selfishly want everyone to love to learn, too, which is why in 2005, I started The Joyce Journal. A blog was a welcome change from years of accosting my family, friends and associates with emails full of interesting articles, event listings and all kinds of opportunities.

In the past several years, I've joined Facebook and Twitter to share and discuss. I launched the blog Enjoyceinglife in 2008 as an outlet to challenge myself for more self-expressive writing. So all that was left for The Joyce Journal was to bec0me strictly a place to share mostly employment opportunities.

Well, things have changed a great deal since I launched this blog five years ago. And after careful consideration, I've decided to stop posting to The Joyce Journal. I'm a writer and I'd like to concentrate on my craft. I have to be honest: Being an engaged parent with a full time gig will not allow me to continue posting to this jobs blog, as well as freelance, explore future book opportunities, and post to my Enjoyceinglife blog.

Gotta prioritize. I hope for your understanding. I don't plan to delete The Joyce Journal anytime soon - but there won't be any more new posts. Occasionally, I will post interesting opportunities on Enjoyceinglife. So if you're not following me there, please do. I look forward to continuing to share good info as I focus my passion - writing.

Staying on the path and Enjoyceinglife, JD
