Whenever I present a ‘Laughter? Let’s Get Serious!’ talk, I also present ‘Good Hearted Living Principles’ based on a book by Steve Wilson, CSP. I talk about how you don’t need money to give a gift!

1) Give the Gift of Laughter!
2) Give the Gift of a Smile!
3) Good Hearted Living deals with giving the Gift of: Compliments, Flexibility, Gratitude, Kindness and Forgiveness.

None of the above require the exchange of paper money or the economy to be boosted in order to BOOST SOMEONE’S SPIRITS!

Instead of business cards, I give out Business BOOKMARKS! My bookmarks are bright yellow (yellow agitates the brain and inspires learning!). I included a silly, smiley face on all my bookmarks as well as ways to create a happier, more positive life through my list of suggestions on the back of the bookmark.

Whenever I am out and about, I LOVE sharing my SMILES (part of my SMILE CAMPAIGN) as well as my Bright, Yellow, Silly, Uplifting Bookmarks to brighten people’s days!

I always ask permission from a nearby parent; but when a child is crying, fussing or having a bad day – or bad time communicating their needs; I walk, run, or waddle over – put a silly smile and big eyed look on my face and ask: WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HELP GETTING YOUR SMILE BACK?

Usually, the child gets quiet (probably out of the shear fear of encountering a strange adult! HA HA HA), the parent askes if they would like the bookmark, they nod or reach out and I ask: Has this helped you find you smile again? Can you show me you smile? Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t and THAT’S OKAY!

So COMICALLY, ECONOMICALLY it doesn’t cost even a PENNY for me to make these colorful business bookmarks that – in a PINCH (if you are PINCHING PENNIES) – BOOST THE SPIRIT, MOOD, DAY of the recipient.

So, one silly, smiley, yellow business bookmark at a time – I’m doing my part to comically boost the Emotional Economy of the public.

It’s a SILLY JOB, BUT SOMEONE’S GOTTA DO IT! Who ‘da THUNK a little piece of yellow cardboard could have so much comical-economical power!

Have a silly, smiley, laughter filled, comically-economically boosted kinda day –
HEY! Why Not? It’s HEALTHY!

Don’t you just LOVE synchronicity?

I’ve gone from being in the dumps and ‘whoa is me’ thinking to, gratitude for all those routing for me, to WOW! the planets seem to be going into alignment if I’d just open my eyes and look as well as stop and listen!

This past week, I have had new friends and aquaintances contacting me in various ways, to help me spread my passion and intention to others! Besides Syn-chro-ni-ci-ty – I’ve opened to Re-cep-ti-vi-ty!

While all these GIFTS I was given by friends may not all bring in income, THEY DO allow me to share my passion.

“MY GREATEST JOY IS MAKING SOMEONE’S DAY!”

My intention is to: MOTIVATE and INSPIRE others!

As a result of one friend, I am going to get to sing a song I am PASSIONATE about; ‘Life is a Song’ – at a local Interfaith Service on Monday, May 3, 2010 in Harrisburg PA (USA). I will get to spread my passion of ‘Appreciating Life in ALL its forms of EXPRESSION; being in AWE of it ALL’ with people from various faiths, beliefs and ways of life. We will all be appreciating, sharing and listening to one another.

On Tuesday, May 25, 2010 – I am going to get to share my PASSION of LAUGHTER WELLNESS as a demonstration at a local ‘HEALTHY GROCER’ store in Camp Hill, PA (USA).

In October, I am going to get to share my discovery and PASSION of SHIFTING my PERCEPTION and AWARENESS via my talk and workshop titled: ‘SEEING WITH NEW EYES!’

As a result of my local Chamber of Commerce providing a Marketing Strategies meeting yesterday morning; I now know ways to improve my marketing and advertising practicies. I also made new contacts for future events that will CONTINUE to allow me to share my PASSION about ‘Seeing With New Eyes!’, ‘Life is a Song in the Key of Love’ talk on Diversity as well as my program ‘Laughter? Let’s Get Serious!’

I am AMAZED and in full appreciation of all the wonderul SYN-CHRO-NI-CI-TY going on around me as I am open to RE-CEP-TI-VI-TY to the WONDERFUL WHOOOOOOSH of love, support coming to me from the Universe, Spirit, God… whatever term you may ‘BE FREE’ to use.

I read my daily meditation while sitting at lunch. I had posted a note about a farrell cat of mine finally TRUSTing me enough to sit near me on the sofa. The daily meditation was about TRUST! SYN-CHRO-NI-CI-TY!

At lunch, I sat in a booth behind two high-powered, financial business men in their crisp white business shirts, strategizing, talking upward movement, and hearing one man say: ‘I KNOW I can make $250,000 more next year!’ WOW! What a statement! To have said it with such solid affirmation and knowing it to be TRUE! The next part of the meditation talked about being OPEN to RECEIVING all that is there for you to receive. To NOT see life from a PLACE OF LACK. To see life as being able to provide all you need.

SYN-CHRO-NI-CI-TY – sitting behind these gentleman, listening and learning as they talked. I had my own one-on-one educational seminar going on!

I LOVE sharing my passion of MAKING a PERSON’s day and I got to do that several times this past week!
Last Friday I attended an inspirational movie night. I am such a people helper, with my theatre background I offered to ‘entertain the crowd’ while the gentleman setting up the movie projector was waiting for folks to arrive. As a result, a woman who plays flute for local senior homes asked for my business card; to possibly team up in the future!

As a result of that I got into a wonderful discussion on the psychology of color with a gentleman at the event who was also aware of color psychology! I purposely made my business cards into YELLOW Bookmarks! Yellow agitates the brain and inspires learning so the bookmark falls in line with wanting to motivate and inspire people! I also love sharing the bookmarks because they have POSITIVE statements and bright, cheery smiling faces that I’m told, MAKE PEOPLE’S DAYS! While I was talking to this gentleman, a congregant from my church happened to show up at the event; having a SMILE on her face as a result of seeing the yellow, smiling bookmark! So, I gave HER one which put a SMILE on HER face!

I was THRILLED sharing my PASSION because I have a SMILE Campaign that talks about reflecting and sharing smiles!

When the movie was over, I was looking for a place to give my donation for the event when I overheard a mother PROUDLY talking about how TALL her son had grown in such a short time! I got to joke with them about him being taller than me at such a young age. I was THRILLED to be able to share a: ‘LAUGHTER OPENS THE MIND!’ smiley, yellow bookmark with this young man! I LOVE motivating, inspiring and MAKING THE DAYS of youth! I felt the young man could use the bookmark and be inspired as he read – sometimes it’s not easy being a teenager!

The next day, I went to a local restaurant and got to MOTIVATE and INSPIRE and MAKE THE DAYS of a young woman (cheerleader) who wasn’t afraid to LAUGH OUT LOUD amongst her friends!

Don’t be surprised! I have been known to wear my ‘tinsel deely bobber’ headband while dining out or while going grocery shopping! I had given and received

I AM HA HA Helen Szollosy of LAFOLOT – my INTENTION is to MOTIVATE and INSPIRE others; my PASSION is to MAKE PEOPLE’S DAYS!
I LIVE MY PASSION and my INTENTION!
LIVE LIFE! LAUGH OFTEN!

…and yes, it’s OK to approach me out and about and call me: HA HA HELEN – I take it as a compliment and it MAKES MY DAY!
