Who is Big Jo?
Hello, my name is Joan (JoAnn). Big Jo has been a nickname of mine for the past 6 years and it looks like its sticking around for a while. It was coined by my friend Larissa after watching me lift heavy at the gym. Mind you, I stand at about 5’1 and weigh about 125lbs on a good day. Not exactly what you would picture when you hear the word big. But nonetheless, I embrace the name because it has evolved into more than just the physical characteristics of the word. Being Big Jo to me means living big and loving big.
What is Living Big?
Living big is living with intent or a sense of purpose. It is acknowledging your dreams and creating goals that work towards making those dreams a reality. No matter how big or small those dreams are. It is understanding that things will not always work out the way you plan, but you keep moving because there is so much more to life. Don’t let a couple of setbacks hold you back from the life you’ve envisioned for yourself. It is being grateful for the people in your life. It is being thankful for waking up each day. It is finding a reason to smile when you’ve had bad day. It is saying, “You know what? It’s all good.”
What is Loving Big?
Love in itself is a big word. Loving big is loving people even when it is difficult. It is understanding that we are all just humans who make mistakes. Some of us learn quicker than others and some never learn at all. Regardless, love is always the answer and forgiveness will lighten the heart. Love Big.
