Testimonials

They say laughter is the best medicine! That’s just what the doctor ordered! Permission to Laugh was an amazing event that touched me and my sisters. It’s been 25 years to almost the day that we lost our mother 11/5/98 and the event brought tears, memories and laughter. I’ve been struggling with grieving the old me as I enter this new phase in my life. It’s both exciting and terrifying. Self-doubt and even a little imposter syndrome can creep in but a complete stranger said to me you’re more than enough without knowing me or my story.
