Morning Cuppa Joy
Morning Cuppa Joy is a weekly reflection on being human — love, loss, curiosity, and everyday moments of grace. Written and read by Robyn DeLong, each episode invites listeners to focus on the beauty and love that surround us, and to notice the joy that bubbles up even in the midst of chaos. Each Cuppa is a gentle reminder to be grateful for the precious moments we’re given and the people we get to share them with.

What can a single red paperclip teach us about New Year’s resolutions, imagination, and the quiet power of possibility? In this episode of Cuppa Joy, I share the true story of a man who began with one paperclip and, through curiosity, kindness, and persistence, eventually traded his way to a house. It’s a story that invites us to rethink resolutions — not as grand promises or rigid goals, but as something else entirely: how meaningful change often begins humbly, grows through connection, and unfolds in ways we could never plan.
If something in today’s Cuppa stirred a thought or a memory, sparked a question, or simply made you want to reach out, I’d love to hear from you. Write to me at robyn@delongteam.com
