Last year, I attended one of the most uplifting and positive conferences out there. The Humor Project- masterfully designed, created, and organized annually by Dr. Joel Goodman and Margie Ingram (his equal half) allows you to immerse yourself in humor for three days. Lectures, workshops and stage performances bring 400 people together annually to laugh, to learn, and to refresh themselves by finding humor in just about everything.

I first learned about this conference 20 years ago when Joel asked cartoonist Mike Peters (Mother Goose and Grimm) and me to put on a cartoon/comic stage presentation. I have been an attendee many times since then and plan to be there again this year.
Held at a beautiful upstate New York conference center (where the Adirondack Mountains cascade into Lake George), the conference is almost a retreat. The people I have met through this program are from all over the world- with varying jobs and interests. Many are health care providers, teachers, businesspeople, and spiritual leaders- all looking for ways to use humor and creativity in their lives, relieve stress, build positive relationships, regain their balance, and renew their sense of humor. The Humor Project is a weekend, which allows and encourages you to unwind and unleash your laughter- which really is the best medicine.
This year the conference is being held on the weekend of June 1-3. I thought I would let you know in case there were folks out there who love humor, love creativity, love life, enjoy the company of like-minded people and might want to sign up! Just for fun, here is the Humor Project conference information:

We've just discovered that January's newsletter only got mailed to about half the recipients; sorry about that! We've discovered the tech glitch and we're now completing the mailings.
A note for Earthlink users: please add design@fborfw.com to your list of allowed senders, otherwise we get automatic messages from your mail account asking us to fill out a form before we can deliver your newsletter. We do our best to stay on top of these requests, but when we get 30 or 40 each month, sometimes OUR email program treats them as spam and we just don't see them. The best way to ensure that you get your newsletter is to allow us through from your end. Thanks.
