our posture:
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22:35-40

traumatized to healer
“I wanted to create something that reflected my relationship with God because I knew it would help other people who’ve struggled to have faith, to heal, and to move forward. This is it.”
Here it is: God Heals— how the love of God exited me from the trauma narrative— to live in His spirit of power, love and a sound mind— and how you can count on Him to heal you too. Logan Nakyanzi Pollard (Author) Hardcover – August 11, 2025.
YOUR RESTORATION STORY
with our class of God’s healing:
Your restoration from the past, or an unjust present— that all sounds good, but how?
We’ll discuss leaving the dysfunctional “superself” behind— to live in the spirit of power, love and a sound mind— by recognizing God’s work in you. And, actively inhabit your identity as a child of God, and not as a reactive, triggered or victimized person.

Take on the topic of personal growth:
tears to joy
“The original idea behind that year of miracles was processing the loss of my dad. But as I was writing it, and in the months since its publication— I realized it’s really a book about transitions and dealing with almost any kind of foundational change. If you’re going through a significant period of adjustment or loss, and are looking for new insights, that is— the miraculous in the every day— do consider enrolling in our course taking on this topic.”
GROW THROUGH A DIFFICULT SEASON
with our course on growing through a difficult season:
This course is based on our book: that year of miracles...
Whatever your “change” is (it could be a personal loss, or some other disruption) this class will: 1) help you see miracles and gain an appreciation of how . . . you will not only get through this challenge— but how you are a better person than you were before. And 2) be a mindful class experience tailored around your needs and goals.

A MEDITATION:
1 Corinthians 13
King James Version
(fyi: It is commonly understood that charity in this translation is love, which is also why this chapter from Corinthians is often cited during wedding ceremonies.)
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

the little blue angel, by Janet Potter:
from clients and book readers:
“
Logan is an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly responsive and made herself available whenever I needed, which allowed me to dive into my new career strategy without delay. Through our conversations, she helped me clarify my goals, giving me the confidence to move forward with them. I’m grateful for this professional partnership!” – from an award-winning media professional and podcast producer, reviewing our career consultations.
“Now about the author herself. Full disclosure, I’ve had the honor and privilege of working with her at a news network in Manhattan. In a business full of phonies, egos and bozos. Logan is the genuine article (see what I did there?) we worked on a special project together and had tons of fun doing it! She’s professional, smart, fun, and makes everyone around her better both as an employee and as a person…” – excerpted from a reader, friend and colleague, re: that year of miracles.
“Authentic, honest & insightful. A truly moving journey through grief that’s given me hope. This really helped.” – from a reader of that year of miracles.
“5.0 out of 5 stars. It’s beautiful.
What a moving tale! Also love how the story and illustrations together convey a level of beauty & innocence that took me back to simpler times. I enjoyed going with the little blue angel on her journey of faith. – from a reviewer of the little blue angel.
“A deeply personal testimony that pulled me in for the journey — of pain, promise & healing — that left me with the courage to believe I can get through this too. I’m so grateful for this book. Thank you.– from a reviewer of God Heals —how the love of God exited me from the trauma narrative— to live in His spirit of power, love and a sound mind— and how you can count on Him to heal you too.

the story of the founder and this co.
find create joy was founded by an Emmy-awarding winning journalist, Logan Nakyanzi Pollard, with the goal of helping people tell and appreciate their stories. We offer personal coaching and inspired content + classes around topics as various as style, career, media literacy and transcending trauma… and work with individuals and small businesses to discern & communicate their message(s) as well as publishing on culture from a Christian perspective.
Hi guys!
“
For 20+ years, I covered breaking news, politics, culture for best-in-class TV, radio and online outlets, and then I pivoted to Christian theological education, marketing, and communications.
Today, I helm find create joy, a company that now also includes: find create joy | books; The Journal (our quarterly magazine; first issue — January 2025), and of course, the original project: find create joy art gallery. I am the author of several books, including: mpola, mpola: a Christian woman’s guide to real style. (find create joy | books, pub. August 2026); God Heals —how the love of God exited me from the trauma narrative— to live in His spirit of power, love and a sound mind— and how you can count on Him to heal you too. (find create joy | books, pub. August 2025); and that year of miracles: from mourning to dancing: how the transformative power of God’s grace can make even a year of mourning— that year of miracles (find create joy | books, pub. Dec. 2024); and the publisher, editor and illustrator of the little blue angel, by Janet Potter (also, by fcj books).
I often use the royal “we” on this website because it doesn’t really feel like I did any of this alone— God has helped me do everything, and the name of the company is of course an extension of myself, but also it’s own thing.
My hope is that whoever you are, when you come across our books, classes, art, articles, coaching, etc. you feel the love of God reaching out to you, and that all these works contribute to the further edification and encouragement of the Body of Jesus Christ.
The story of our company:
Initially, find create joy (fcj) was created as an online art gallery (because I’m an artist). And before that, I was also a journalist, and worked in a lot of places:
And even “won” an Emmy, with colleagues covering 9/11.
Yet despite these accolades, and over more than two decades, I saw the voices lost inside of the media (including my own, sometimes!) and also the importance of learning how to communicate effectively in this climate, and how to find a way to be heard.
“I have been in newsrooms and movement spaces since the 1990’s and have witnessed a largely consolidated media landscape and the voices being lost inside of it.”
Who find create joy can help:
“I founded this company to guide individuals and small companies seeking to share their story(ies) and rethink how they define who they are with bespoke producer IQ & insights to streamline and professionalize project development, leadership, storytelling capacity, multimedia content, comms and marketing.”
find create joy works to help individuals and small businesses find their voice(s), and to better understand how the media works, and how to make the media itself better, because I’ve been there, inside of it.
This company also has a unique point of view:
“At find create joy, media literacy dovetails with self-awareness & style and is built on the understanding/acceptance/lived experience of God’s abiding love for us.”
Even our take on the “lightest” of topics, like style make-overs, is more substantial, and effective: because it’s real.
Big picture:
“Today, as we see a proliferation of individualized media, the ability to define your message is even more important. And that includes even and especially, how YOU see yourself.”
about our style services:
Our personal style revamp consulting comprises of (3) different services, and offers bespoke advice tailored to your lifestyle and needs, as outlined below.
“
1. OUR 1-ON-1 CONSULTING SERVICE.
find create joy helps you find your true style.

3. OUR E-COURSES.

AND SOON YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU HAVE:

- a means to get organized, and let go, and much more.
“No matter what stage you are in life, we all hit road bumps, impasses, and moments when we need to reassess, and make adjustments.”
Why?
Well, because this was me:
“40+ and in a style rut. You know who you are. I’m here for you (because I’ve been there!)”
“The through line here at find create joy is I see even the seemingly trivial as of a part, or a piece of the whole.”
Our company’s focus is integrating multimedia know-how with insights gained as an executive across a variety of educational, faith-led, and creative organizations to help you put your best forward.

bona fides:
“
My career interweaves educational, movement and leadership development expertise with multimedia journalism, art and style insights. As a producer, journalist, author, editor and essayist, I have coached many household names in both secular and religious spaces, drawing on more than 20 years of best-in-class experience in mainstream media (MSM) broadcast and independent news outlets. I count an Emmy among professional accolades (9/11 coverage for our team at ABC’s World News Tonight) as well as writings highlighted by The Huffington Post’s first ever how-to blogging guide (and where I was a featured writer for a decade).
about my style knowledge:
My relationship with style is indirect, but persistent: as a broadcast news television and radio producer, I became keenly aware of how people impact their message by their voice, tone, appearance, soft skills, attention/presence, intelligence, preparation, authenticity… As an artist, I am acutely aware of aesthetics: what is beautiful, and what is peaceful, and even how to find beauty in that which is deemed ‘ugly.’ But most importantly, as a Christian, I look beyond the surface: to the heart, and to what is true:
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
1 Samuel 16
At find create joy, the mission is to bring all of these skills to help you be your best.
