That was the start of her inspirational rags-to-riches story. Joy points out the lessons that she learned the hard way, and principles she still relies on today. Thoughts and ideas that drive her business, life, and family and are the foundation for her success. These concepts form a blueprint to help you live your most joyful life. Look inside yourself, grab hold of your dreams, and be brave enough to take that very first step. You'll be in good company with Inventing Joy.

Her later products include Huggable Hangers, My Little Steamer, Forever Fragrant, and luggage with her revolutionary Spinball Wheel System.
