A Wonderful Week

This week was so OMazing - wooHOO

I laughed in Circle on Tuesday. And then, SisterGoddess Barbara and I had the opportunity to present Learning with Laughter to a group of kids and their parents.

On Wednesday, we had six Goddesses in Real Life bless our Circle.

We laughed with prisoners on Thursday morning.

And Thursday night, our Circle was blessed with boys

.

The Universe is giving me the whole spectrum of HA HA chi to send 2011 on her way and usher 2012 with sweet blessings of future generations of Laughter Ambassadors.

ANd it feels so good.

Winter Solstice - the Boys and the Goddesses

Tonight as we celebrate the Winter Solstice I am blessed with four young boys. Two of them twins - woohoo. Sister Goddess Toni brought her grandsons to Laughter Yoga. We were blessed with the presence of 4 boys - 2 of which are twins.

We did an OMazing wave. and made Laughter Shakes. We shook it all about as we did the Hokey Pokey. These boys (future leaders of our society) put FUN and FRIENDSHIP in the Cirle tonight.

Tonight there was more WSM and WSMboys than Goddesses. It was OMazing.

I am seeing a pattern, GPS. I am open and willing. I accept.

Winter Solstice HA HA - Jail

Today is the Winter Solstice - shortest day of the year, darkest day of the year.

I was totally excited when we were invited to bring Laughter Yoga to the jail today. We met an OMazing coordinator called Barbara who works hard to bring all sorts of yummy modalities and educational opportunities to the men who are incarcerated in this minimum security jail.

Today we had the opportunity to laugh with approximately 60 inmates. We spoke to them of the benefits of laughter as we shook ourselves - SHAKTI SHAKE - we did waves of OMazing affirmations and laughroared like lions We shook our enerchi some more and dropped it into the Earth and stomped it out. We gibberished and made our immune systems stronger. We even danced the Hokey Pokey and shook it all about.

When I first got there, I was a little scared. This experience was totally out of my comfort zone. I was inside a building with twelve doors bolted and locked between me and the outside world. I also made assumptions about the men based on what they looked like. Some of the inmates were seriously scary looking dudes - with tear tattooes and all.

And yet, as we laughed together and created heat, I looked each and every one of them in the eyes. I laughed at myself - with them - and we had a moment together.

We talked about chaHAhanging the only thing we have control over - ourselves and our attitudes.

It was quite an OMazing experience - holding sacred space for laughter - for these men. It was nice to change the enerchi in such a space and create waves of joy and peace.

We were invited back to play.

Woohoo

GIRL Akili

Today, GIRL Akili and her mom, Sister Goddess Erika made it to our laughter circle just as were putting away our drums. In fact, they joined us as just as we put our hands together for a prayer

GIRL Akili and SG Erika have been coming to our laughter circles at TY Park for more than one year. GIRL Akili - in the past - clings to her mom's skirt when we laugh or sits on the park bench. She watches us sometimes and observes the squirrels. Sometimes she would let me hug her during greeting laughter. Sometimes she might even try it with me

Today, GIRL Akili joined our circle - she held hands with Goddess Nubia and Mama Goddess Erika on the other side. She even said her name GIRL Akili loud and proud. She put her mom and grandma in the circle. She told us her word for the week in this world is LOVE.

I had tears in my eyes as did her Mama Goddess and a few of us Sister Goddesses in the Circle.

WhaHAhat a big huge heart on this little GIRL - Goddess in Real Life - future leader of our country - woohoo. GIRL Akili - watching listening absorbing digesting SHARING - woohoo.

Thank you Mama Goddess Erika for this MOMent with your GIRL. Wooohoo.

I love the OMazing peeps I meet in this HA HA community and the OMazing MOMents and miracles I see. Woohoo

Ha Ha Cycling

SG Chelsey and WSM Jason

Today I had the of hugging and laughing with Sister Goddess Chelsey and a Wild Succulent ManBoy Jason. These two showed up in the park and were drawn in by our sHAkti sHAke - shake shake shake - and drop it into the Earth - and stomp it out and inhalamos and exhalamos.

We sent arrows of HA chi into the world and chanted OMazing affirmations and WOOHOOs. We danced the Hokey Pokey and shook it all about. We ha HA ha and hugged and we put our whole selves in. Woohoo.

These young Ones have traveled across the USA on their bicycles - from Washington to Key West - finding us here in Hollywood.

Hearing their story so INspired me - these young peeps with on their bikes and backs - packing what is necessary for survival - seven in their group - seven months on the road. Packing a tarp or surfing the net for a couch to crash on. One day at a time - one foot pedal in front of the other - a new experience every day.


We prayed together - LAUGHing out LOUD just BEcause we can- messengers of PEACE and LOVE



Together - HAPPY - HEALTHY - HOLY
