Robert Burney is a pioneer in the area of codependency recovery / inner child healing. His first book Codependence The Dance of Wounded Souls has been called "one of the truly transformational works of our time” - and his work described as "taking inner child healing to a new level."  His website http://joy2meu.com offers over 200 pages of free original content on codependency recovery, inner child healing, relationship dynamics, alcoholism/addiction, fear of intimacy, Twelve Step Spirituality, New Age Metaphysics, emotional abuse, setting boundaries, grief process, and much more.  The Joy2MeU website - which Robert launched in February 1999 - is designed in an ancient design program which is not mobile friendly.  This site - joy2meu2.com which is being launched in May 2018 - is a redesign of the joy2meu.com home page and site index page in mobile friendly format to link people to his free original content on sites that provide a mobile friendly format. 

The plan was to just provide these two pages on this site #2 - but it changed already and a June 2018 Update Newsletter was added, followed by other pages.

Robert is the author of the

Joyously inspirational book

republication 10/15/24 :- New Article 11/2/20   : Standing up to evil - and Accepting the Divine Plan

And if you call your self a Christian, wake up and recognize the Donald Trump is the personification of the antichrist. He represents the opposite - 180 degrees the opposite - of the message of Love that Jesus carried. If you vote for Donald Trump you will be spitting in the face of the teachings of Jesus. You are committing blasphemy by supporting this personification of evil.

 

Donald Trump is a racist - and is using racism to divide and polarize the people of this country. If you support Trump, you are a racist. You are saying that racism is acceptable - which makes you just as racist as if you were wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe.” - Standing up to evil - and Accepting the Divine Plan

Joy2MeU Journal

Information Page & Table of Contents (not mobile friendly)

Cover of Joy2MeU Journal

The Joy2MeU Journal is a publication I started in early 1999.  It turned into something very intimately personal.  Starting in 1999 and continuing through the end of 2004 I shared in this Journal a personal journal where I was processing through my fear of intimacy issues.  There are at least a couple of million words of my history and processing in this body of work.

This Journal is "a body of work in a password protected part of the site where Robert published the story of his Spiritual Path (11 part), an ongoing personal recovery journal (58 installments), Attack on America (11 Chapters) online book not available on regular Joy2MeU site, and portions of his Trilogy (14 Chapters of a Magical, Mystical, Spiritual Fable)"

Both the story of my spiritual path and the personal journal are called:

 

The Path of one Recovering Codependent

~ the dance of one wounded soul 

and it includes the story of my conscious commitment to codependency recovery on June 3rd 1986. The Story of Joy2MeU

&

The story of the Miracles in my recovery that led me to Cambria California (originally shared in October 2005 Update Newsletter)

&

In the Premier edition of the Joy2MeU Journal, I shared in the Newsletter about an experience I had on April 1st 1990. I refer to it as my April Fools Day Lesson about falling in love

 

The Trilogy is the first writing I did starting in the fall of 1988.  It is a Magical, Mystical, Spiritual Fable which includes a history of the Universe unlike any which has ever been written.  This is a book that will never be finished but writing this work helped me build and refine the foundation for my spiritual Belief system – and later spawned my book:  Codependence: The Dance of the Wounded Souls.

The Dance of the Wounded Souls Trilogy Book 1 - "In The Beginning . . ." 

A Magical, Mystical, Spiritual Fable

History of the Universe Part I The Creation dream

 

My Update Newsletters

There are 55 Update Newsletters - some of which contain quite a bit of content about my growth process over the years, in addition to announcements about what has been added to Joy2MeU and news of Joy to You & Me. None of them are on mobile friendly sites - although some things that I added to Update Newsletter (like the Miracles story above - and the one just below) - have been published as blogs on mobile friendly wordpress.com.

I included in March 2007 Update Newsletter (that I later published in the blog linked here) about healing my relationship with my own masculine energy that includes excerpts from the Trilogy and Journal.
