Meredith and Pam are the mother-daughter duo behind the jars. When Meredith was struggling in high school, her mom put a glass bowl of quotes on her desk & asked her to pick one every day. The quotes she read changed her life. Together, this team found a passion for all things JOY. The company was even named after Pam's mom (and Meredith's grandmother) Joy Rotelle.

Meredith's Story

​

Back in high school, I found myself going through a tricky time. Everything might have looked perfect from the outside, but I was missing a little something on the inside.

 

And even though I always had everything in me it took to feel joyful, I needed a little reminder.  

 

My mom saw I needed a hand so she put a BIG glass bowl of quotes on my desk. She asked me to pick one from it every day. I said NOPE! But eventually, I picked a quote, just to see… And the words I read shifted my whole day around. And the next day, and the next. Over time, the daily routine of reading a quote helped me remember me, and to find my center again. The tool was simply a way to bring me back to my best self.
