Comedienne helps women laugh

There was a lot of laughter at the Purdue North Central Women's Association spring luncheon at PNC on Saturday. East coast comedienne Mary Ellen Rinaldi entertained the audience of nearly 100 with her musings about marriage, parenting, shopping and aging.

"I recently celebrated a 40th birthday," said Rinaldi, with a pronounced Boston accent.... "It was 10 years ago!" "What happened?" Rinaldi asked. "I woke up yesterday and I was 21," she said.

GREENWICH, Connecticut (CNN) -- I saw President Obama laugh last week on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." I saw the president giggle on "60 Minutes."

"You're sitting here. And you are laughing," Steve Kroft said in his interview with the president. "You are laughing about some of these problems.

Hi, everyone, I'm Lois Barth and I'm honored to be the expert behind the Soul Goals for this year's SELF Challenge. This month, we encourage you to create an Inspiration Board--an idea that speaks to what I know to be true: The imagination is far more effective than willpower alone. As you get started achieving your physical goals with the Challenge, it's important to also think about what is possible for you? As you dream on the page while creating an Inspiration Board, you can reconnect with your vision.
