Last summer I participated in the Certified Laughter Leader Training in Philadelphia. Steve Wilson from the World Laughter Tour was the trainer. The training was awesome and has lead me to reconfiguring several of my presentations to include laughter as a physical activity. Sessions like 'Healthy Lifestyle and Laughter', 'Stress Less with Laughter', 'Lower Your Blood Pressure with Healthy Food and Laughter', and 'Have a Healthy Heart with Laughter' have all been very successful. The senior community and workplace love the laughter sessions!
Some great resources include the following:
World Laughter Tour
Laughter Foundation
Humor Month (April)
These links will get you started on the road to merriment and mirth! Laughter is excellent for your health because it is know increase your heart rate (in a good way), lower your blood pressure, increase your endorphins, improve your ventilation, lower your blood sugar, lower your cholesterol, and much more. Add more laughter to your life and you will feel better! Ho, ho, ha, ha ha!

Resources For Families & Educators
I have always been an educator who craves new strategies and ideas for teaching. It is a thrill to find a new twist on teaching a time-honored concept. For this reason I have spent a considerable amount of time preparing a list of Resources for Families and Educators. The list is available online at our Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Atlantic County website. The web links have been annotated and carefully chosen for you, the community. Please take advantage of the wealth of resources at your fingertips! Let me know if you would like to see additional resources on the list. You can locate the Resources for Families and Educators here.
