There are four attributes to our health: the physical, the mental, the emotional and the spiritual. Both the patient and the healer know that stress is the number one medical bill in this country. Stress is not an event, it is how we choose to perceive an event. Perceiving the world around us with humor, hope, joy, and faith, not only assist the health care provider, but also the patient. Humor lifts us in our healing and helps us to maintain our well-being as we help others in their healing process.

or Things to Consider in the Business of Life
Your job, regardless of what it is, does not define you.
You bring the definition of who you are to your job...and to your family, your friends, and your community. Your job is just one of the places you go, in the course of a week, while you are working on something that is much, much, more important, and that is your becoming. If you are working on becoming a grand kind of individual, well then, your work environment will benefit, but so will your family, friends, strangers, and of course, you!

We are all selling something.
People buy the quality of the individual as well as the product.
If there are people whose products have equal qualifications, we will go with the individual who brings pleasure to the process. Laughter, a sense of lightness, and an authentic friendship, brings that pleasure to the process. Humor and the heart of enjoyment brings a product, a service, a proposal, or an idea, to Life, and then... to Sold.

Sweet Companions
Humor is often taking two unlikely concepts, ideals, beliefs, views, or notions, and putting them together to create a new or different perspective. The result is laughter. Our minds have been tickled. Creativity is no different. It is the ability to fool around with ideas. To be flexible in our thinking, to investigate new possibilities, to problem-solve. Creativity is every part of our wonderful problem-solving mechanism. In every part of our lives, at home, at work, and in-between, creativity and humor are not an option. No, it`s not an option in a world that continues to shift, grow, merge and alter continually.

Laughter and Learning
As a former high school teacher, I watch most "survival reality shows" and say, "That`s nothing, I taught teenagers!" Regardless of what grade level you teach, K thru college, humor is not a choice. It is one of our greatest communication tools. In a recent study, 284 teachers were evaluated. Those that ranked at the top in teaching ability averaged 3.95 on the humor scale. The poorest teachers ranked 2.36. Through incorporating more humor into the classroom, both teacher and student will benefit. It is not just about a subject. It`s about relationships.

How `Bout Just a Good Time
Laughter can kick off a conference like nothing else! It truly is the shortest distance between two people. Aren`t conferences designed, in large, to bring people together to share information? Why not shorten that distance with the common bond of laughter? To walk out of your event with grins and laughter, can send attendees off on their long drives or airline flights, with a bit of inspiration and a bounce in their step!
