Toastmasters International -   The Formula for Funny Try different humor tactics to win grins, giggles, and guffaws from your audience. By  Beth Black If you can inspire people to laugh, you’ve found a way to draw them in, amuse them, and engage their interest in any speech … even on a dry topic. “Realize that humor can lead to happiness, one of the best feelings on Earth to humans,” says Jessica Breitenfeld, President of the Spreeredner Toastmasters Club in Berlin, Germany, as well as a therapist. “If you can dive into humor, your speeches increase in power, relatability, and influence tenfold, because you’re harnessing the power of human connection.” As Toastmasters we give all kinds of speeches to inform, persuade, inspire, and delight. Humor is an often forgotten ingredient that can improve every single speech. A sprinkling of levity at just the right moment can reach your listener’s heart and mind. Humor needs to be applied sparingly in some cases, and always with skill, ...

 two things I love spend a lot of time on or spent I used to be an avid church goer now i stay at home as of lets say today 1.30.21 me and my relationship with God is like a boyfriend that you gave your heart to and they are below your expectations I do what God tells me to do and I keep getting hurt I am tired of that too the bruises, the pain, hoping its all for something dude said stop seeing everything as a bad thing. I don't know how else to see it. New Brunswick, running away from homeless. go crazy, have no insurance, can get no theraphy. I've already had a history of mental illness. hello. mental hospital at 17.  then look for love in men after a year of you (God)  told me not to date. guess what? a year later, fall into the same patterns. now its 7 years later and I'm scared to be with me. I'm scared to be the version of me that is broken. Scared to give most of myself away as I do. scared to be co-dependent and the book said I was. scared to love because I don...

I visited grandma's and Alex was hungry so I got him pizza from the restaurant. and then i go upstairs someone complained about my food choices. and Tio Dennis came and i said something like asking for advice and I often do. I like to ask older people about what they have learned. and he said something about one cannot do something because they are mad at their mom. and another time in life Tio Dennis said I did something wrong to mom. Mom the victim, always running to other people. Never talking to me directly. never, you know why? because she can't control me. or she tries to manipulate and control me. so when that doesn't work. she goes to others and OMG did you know, she cried in front of Tia Margot?  Tia Margot called me and said my mom gave birth to me, something, interestingly enough, I knew already. so my aunt was trying to guilt trip into something and again, I refused. I told my best friend Jane and she said she was watching Iyanla and some people cry for manipula...

I watched TV. did some dishes. opened a TD trade account. It was in a post that Wall St Trapper made. In my head there was this voice. "yeah you want to go to the park but is that going to make you any money?" The truth is I want to write. Having a car is cool but its exhausting going from place to place. honestly with Jane here it was a lot. I watched Secret Garden at night to feel some sense of normalcy. When I was home I woke up before anyone. I left the house because Jane was sleeping in the living room and I didn't want to wake her. So I didn't do my usual do dishes as first thing I do after going to the bathroom routine. And what did I do? Search for car washes, the 4th one was the one. Go to Walmart return and buy whatever was needed for that day. I went to the library and bought magazines so that she could make her vision board. I came back she said okay and got to work. I have this need to be appreciated. To be told, you did this well. Last night we watched a...

1.   Yesterday I was thinking why I stopped writing. I stopped when the presenter said, she noticed? Talking about my mom. I had to stop there. I think as a kid of 3 and a single mom that didn't say hi to me or speak. she just did her cooking responsibly and went to work and yelled at me and Lesly to clean on the weekends. You know how people wake up to the sound of the alarm or birds chirping? Not us, we woke up mom yelling at us to clean.  We were girls, which to her meant free house servants. Every Saturday was a clean-a-thon. And I was raised to think that cleaning the house made you a woman. Which meant women that have dirty houses are not women. I wonder what they are then. Rats? Anyhow, until this day I analyze my life and I realize that I spend a lot of time cleaning. Like ridiculously. In a society where all that matters is money, I spend more time cleaning than I should and I should take that time to learn a high income skill, so I have been told.  So I cle...
