I Started to Laugh and Feel Joy Again…

Over the past 20 years my experience at the Y has only been positive, revealing, enlightening and healing. Moving here from Toronto and knowing nobody I felt the “need” to join the YMCA. I was in a dark place in my life whereby laughing was difficult for me. Slowly a collection of friendships started to evolve and this involved laughing.

The Y then became my safe haven and a place to feel again and develop friendships, some now 20 years old. I began to tap into a vibe of family and connection.

Today I have been working out in a more serious style with a YMCA personal trainer. Being happy AND training is the best combination!! The specific training has not only helped my physical fitness but my mind and clarity of thoughts. I feel clearer and stronger in who I am and what I believe to be true for me. Being strong in body, mind and soul is the key! BUT also laughing and enjoying life was what I need to learn from the YMCA. It was always in ALL WAYS be in my heart!
