The "World Laughter Tour" Award

Last May, the DeepFUN website was among the Fortunate Few to be recognized by the World Laughter Tour as an organization that works to:

Promote laughter and humor for their many redeeming values
Make people aware of the importance of humor and laughter at home, work, school, and in the healing processes
Show how laughter can make the world a better, more peaceful place
Provide resources for promoting laughter and humor.

This was, and remains a significant honor for Ours Truly. Though my focus is slightly different (fun does not always include laughter, and vice versa), it's definitely the right association. The World Laughter Tour follows the teachings of Laughter Yoga, a movement started by Dr. Madan Kataria, based on the discovery that even when there's nothing to laugh about, we can still make ourselves, and each other, laugh. And in so doing, heal the world.

The growing list of fellow recipients from all over the world is in itself inspiring, and an excellent resource for those of us who know the value of a good joke when we see one.
