The Delight of Donna

Donna Nelson is a Laughter Leader extraordinaire!

She is full of energy along with a fun spirit and an attitude that says...go ahead make my day...make me laugh... ha ha ha!

Donna came to the Laughter Yoga Leader training wanting something different in her life and she left laughing it up...definitely different! As a degreed professional in dietary and nutritional well being, Donna's main focus on creating a healthy life through detoxification now includes laughter. She realizes the healthy release laughter can create and uses it regularly in discussing detox options with clients and groups who want to develop a healthier life style in an easy and relaxed fashion.

She's definitely on a roll getting the message out as her other

passion is riding bicycles. She got up several hours early just to pedal from the lake front area of Chicago to the northwestern suburb boardering Chicago each day of the training and absolutely loved wearing her clown nose home to the happy waves and beeps of passing traffic.

She continues to ride her bike wearing her nose and wax lips, sometimes sporting her happy hat and overly large sunglasses. The World Peace through Laughter is always somewhere on her bike as she happily pedals for peace and laughter all over the city.

The Chicago Cycle of Laughter
Where Laughing is a Wheel Good Time

Donna wanted to create more laughter in Chicago and particularly closer to home near the lake front though wasn't sure exactly how and what she wanted to do. Combining her love of bicycling it seemed a natural fit to create a way to develop both laughter, the bicycle ride and World Peace.

Forming the first ever laughter club on bicycle, Donna joined the Park Ridge Hysterical Society for a little Laugh-Tour of Park Ridge using Bicycles. Traveling from one part of town to another, laughter exercises were incorporated at each stopping point before all stopped for a Laughing Lunch. This inspired Donna to take the club on the road in Chicago.

The Last Monday of every month is set aside for the Chicago Cycle of Laughter where the laughter exercises begin at the Totem Pole on the Lake front at Addison st and travel in different areas for more laughter along the way. One can get a breath taking view of the city, create a breath cycle through laughter and have a wheel good time doing something completely different all giving a good name to whirled peace.

Donna hosts an 11am and a 7pm Laughter Ride and for something really unique...try out this fun loving cycle and recycled laughter experiment of fun.

Turning 50 is something to Clown Around with...
Ecuador, Patch Adams and Experiences to move your heart

Donna turned 50 in December and invited fun folk to her party. She recieved many of the standard 50 year old gifts plus enough emotional and financial support to send her on a life loving mission to Ecuador on New Year's Day.

Inspired by her life changing laughing experience with Laughter Yoga, she sought out a way to grow more and know more and found a delicious adventure to introduce her next 50 years to. She went on a journey of the heart learning clowning techniques and how to get out of her own way. Patch Adams led the group in Ecuador and Donna led the group with Laughter Yoga!

She has returned to Chicago to bring the laughter to a local womans shelter that has them looking for more and has since introduced the laughter into a Chicago Public School System. She has found her inner mission and joy and who knows where it will lead her next!
