Jack Carroll
This is Jack Carroll – a 14 year old comedian with cerebral
palsy. Talk about using laughter
to cope with a challenge! This kid
is 14 and he already has the wisdom to turn his disability into a gift. He says “Maybe I can bring some joy to
the world.” Great opening Harry Potter joke!

5 year old in Laughter Yoga
We had a beautiful 5 year old at the
laughter club this month! So precious and honest about it all. She would fall on the floor
laughing in the middle of the circle of adults!!!
I told her she reminded me of my
deceased dog Lily, who used to sit in the middle of the circle of adults. I started my
very first laughter club long long ago in my basement so she got to participate as well. I assured our 5 year old that this was a
compliment. Lily loved the energy we
generated!

Comedy not pills
One of my laughter students shared a story about how she
fired her therapist, who was pushing her to go on medication, and instead
became a comedian. Here’s a video
of her adorable first routine! She
says she learned to laugh at herself
- “something that has greatly served her ever since.”
Such a great story about using the healing power of
laughter!

Colbert and Stewart
Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart have touching responses to the Boston Marathon bombings. It’s no small skill to make people laugh in the face of
tragedy. As a native Bostonian I
appreciated the break from crying.
I love these guys!

Humor is Necessary
“If you’ve forgotten your sense of humor, please go get
it. You’ll need it here.”
It’s written in the intro to Hippie Peace Freaks’ Facebook
Page. But really it’s true about
all of life.

April's Laughter Club
April's version of Phinney Laughter Club! This is actually only one-third of us as everyone else was camera-shy. That's okay!

Bonding
In 30 seconds he had me laughing.
He was just being himself I imagine, using his quick wit in
response to the current situation.
It was a friend’s father I met briefly during this friend’s short stay
in the hospital. The rest of
the family would take the usual amount of time to get to know and connect
with. But in the instant of a
laugh I was able to connect with this person in no time at all.
Laughter is bonding.
Use it well to create more peace in the world by bringing people
together.
