Leslee, where do you live?

Leslee, where do you live? Maybe you can find a laughter yoga club near you. Check out www.laughteryoga.org. I became a certified Laughter Yoga instructor not long ago (thanks to Christa from www.giggleon.com and www.carmelacarlyle.com, our teacher). Christa and I had SUCH a blast, and I believe it's incredibly healing. We all need laughter- why not fake it 'til you make it?

Isn't it killer? I didn't

Isn't it killer? I didn't know what to expect when I saw it. It was just so dismal and dark and depressing for the first two LONG minutes. But isn't life that way, Pinkies? Doesn't it sometimes seem like the dim moments last forever, but you never know when the laughter is right around the corner. And it's within your power to make it happen. All it takes is a conscious choice. Remember, pain is inevitable- suffering is optional. Why not choose joy?

Boy, I needed that today. I

Boy, I needed that today. I led my first laughter yoga demo at my house last week and we laughed until we almost peed our pants.

New laughter we created: Brazilian Bikini Wax Laughter. Pretend to rip off a wax strip and instead of screaming in pain, insert laughter. In a group of women, this is a no-fail giggle starter.
