		<description><![CDATA[So, one silly, smiley, yellow business bookmark at a time - I'm doing my part to comically boost the Emotional Economy of the public.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever I present a &#8216;Laughter? Let&#8217;s Get Serious!&#8217; talk, I also present &#8216;Good Hearted Living Principles&#8217; based on a book by Steve Wilson, CSP.  I talk about how you don&#8217;t need money to give a gift!</p>
<p>1) Give the Gift of Laughter!<br />
2) Give the Gift of a Smile!<br />
3) Good Hearted Living deals with giving the Gift of: Compliments, Flexibility, Gratitude, Kindness and Forgiveness.</p>
<p>None of the above require the exchange of paper money or the economy to be boosted in order to BOOST SOMEONE&#8217;S SPIRITS!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Whenever I am out and about, I LOVE sharing my SMILES (part of my <a href="http://www.lafolot.com/smile-campaign/">SMILE CAMPAIGN</a>) as well as my Bright, Yellow, Silly, Uplifting Bookmarks to brighten people&#8217;s days!</p>
<p>I always ask permission from a nearby parent; but when a child is crying, fussing or having a bad day &#8211; or bad time communicating their needs; I walk, run, or waddle over &#8211; put a silly smile and big eyed look on my face and ask:  WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HELP GETTING YOUR SMILE BACK?</p>
<p>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&#8217;t and THAT&#8217;S OKAY!</p>
<p>So COMICALLY, ECONOMICALLY it doesn&#8217;t cost even a PENNY for me to make these colorful business bookmarks that &#8211; in a PINCH (if you are PINCHING PENNIES) &#8211; BOOST THE SPIRIT, MOOD, DAY of the recipient.</p>
<p>So, one silly, smiley, yellow business bookmark at a time &#8211; I&#8217;m doing my part to comically boost the Emotional Economy of the public.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a SILLY JOB, BUT SOMEONE&#8217;S GOTTA DO IT!  Who &#8216;da THUNK a little piece of yellow cardboard could have so much comical-economical power!</p>
<p>Have a silly, smiley, laughter filled, comically-economically boosted kinda day &#8211;<br />
HEY! Why Not?  It&#8217;s HEALTHY!</p>
<p>Ha Ha Helen Szollosy of LAFOLOT<br />
Live Life! Laugh Often!<br />
Spread those SMILES BY THE MILES and make the inner light SHINE of everyone you meet!<br />
