About Joy

The name I'd like to be called is Joy

Who I am and what I do

My given name is Erla, pronounced: Ehrr-lah. (Dutch style, ...meaning that's a rolling 'r' in there). But, because I have seen the torture I put my wonderful American friends through to get them to pronounce my name correctly, I have adopted an American name that is easy to pronounce and fits my character and what I am all about. I go by the name Joy, and I love it!

I was born in Curacao, one of the Dutch paradise islands in the Caribbean. My island is part of the so called ABC-islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao), which are located just North off the coast of Venezuela (South America). All three Dutch islands (part of the Netherlands Antilles) are surrounded by crystal clear blue waters, possess many beautiful and relaxing beaches and are safely tucked away by themselves from hurricanes and other common natural disasters (no vulcano activity, no earthquakes, no hurricanes). Check out this Curacao Fun Stuff page, (my gift to you :-}!! )...As I said, a modern paradise! Curacao is hardly known, but once visited it becomes truly UNFORGETTABLE. If you want to know more, just contact me, ...or simply Take a Virtual Tour Here!! Here's another link with EXCELLENT summarized Welcome to Curacao Info

The question most people ask me is, "Why did you give up a beautiful Caribbean island to come to the US?" The answer is simple... love. I married a wonderful man who happened to be an American. My home is with him now. Thus, here I am.

I value very highly having good health. That's because I once lost it as a result of unhealthy eating habits (I wasn't aware that I was eating unhealthy). A change in my diet saved me and improved drastically the quality of my life. Today, I have health and energy to enjoy life to it's fullest!! I feel better today than I did when I was 25! I love cooking (and eating,...very much!) and I'm always creating new and delicious, health-enhancing recipes. This website is a result of the things I learned as I nourished myself back to health and learned how to support myself in staying healthy. I hope this website is a good help to you.

My top five Values are...

Living in favor with God and man, Integrity and Wisdom.
Family, Commitment, Health and Happiness.
Courageousness, Pleasure and Success.
Prosperity, Peace of Mind and Excellence.
Being an Example, Making a Difference, Caring and Sharing.
