Happy Friday!

How has your week been? Mine has been really juicy online and offline!

As you may know, I’ve been having a series of conversations on Sisterhood, the Blog Radio (http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/42015) with dynamic women who attended the BlogHer 2009 conference (www.blogher.com) on July 24 and 25 in Chicago, Illinois. Our conversations have inspired me to stay on my “grustle” (grind + hustle = grustle; grustle is a term coined by one of my favorite folks — Hajj Flemings, an author and brand specialists – www.hajjflemings.com). That means I am diving deep into practicing self-care as I work on a few projects. Laughter is a key part of my self-care practice. Finding humor and being silly in my daily life have become a necessity. So today I decided to post a photo that I took at the Ragu Luncheon held on July 24 during BlogHer 2009. Every time I look at it, I crack up laughing.

So what makes you laugh?

If you are looking for ways to incorporate more laughter into your life, click here to learn about laughter yoga: http://www.laughteryoga.us/laughter-yoga.php. Try some laughter yoga exercises:

A few years ago I took some laughter yoga classes and really enjoyed them. I use laughter yoga exercises with my clients and in workshops. It really helps people relax and let go of stress.

Enjoy your day and weekend!

Peace, Creativity, and Laughter,

Ananda
