Ten years ago I heard a woman speak that changed my life forever. A random woman with whom I did not expect to cross my path, just as those good people that come into ones life tend to do. Before experiencing her, I was one of those people (we all know) who could walk around all day with a dime lodged between my “buns” and it MIGHT fall out during my nightly bubble bath. Now, that is uptight (and not comfy).
I discovered (well, only for myself) this woman - Loretta LaRoche - at a writer’s conference, only picking her breakout session because I was feeling too lazy at that moment to move next door to the speaker I had originally mapped out on my daily schedule. (And, I certainly didn’t want to disturb my dime). From the moment I walked out of her session that was focused on living your life with humor, I began seeing the world with more humorous eyes. And, my stress level went down - a lot! Literally, from dimes to pennies.
Lately, I have found myself in great need of “corrective vision.” Good things have happened in my life, but with extremely stressful consequences. So, instead of archiving Loretta’s periodic newsletter this week into the “read later’ file - I savored every word. I realized I’ve almost gone blind. And, the dime needs to go (again).
Here is a little bit of information about Loretta (http://www.lorettalaroche.com/) - her credentials are amazing:
Dubbed the “jolly-lama,” Loretta has devoted her career to helping people deal with stress and life in general with laughter. She is founder and president of The Humor Potential, Inc, a company offering programs and products for life style management. Her special brand of optimistic psychology has an incontestable positive effect on the health of all that are exposed to her. She is also a well-recognized TV personality on PBS and best selling author. She has had six one-woman television specials air on 80 PBS stations across the country. She has been nominated for local and prime time Emmy Awards, has appeared on CNN, ABC and NBC affiliates.
But, no Oprah TV? She does appear on the O website with a couple of advice briefs, but as far as I can find - she’s never been featured on the show. Needs to change! While clicking around to find out if Loretta is an “Oprah person,” I found a website that I immediately subscribed to - www.stressmanagementtv.com. It not only features Loretta’s seminars, but many other stress experts, yoga classes, kickboxing and more. You can also catch Loretta on www.youtube.com by searching her name. There are many, many funny and helpful video clips that will give you insight into her work. And good for a few laughs, too.
So, if you are having stress issues - check out Loretta. Check out Stress Management TV. Believe me, you will be O so better for it - today.
