About Giggle On!™

Giggle On!™ was started in 2008 as a call to action to embrace joyful mojo and laugh with wild abandon.

Giggle On! was inspired by the phrase, Get Your Giggle On, which simply means: HAVE FUN!

Laughter is your birthright – claim it!

Hi. My name is Christa. This is my personal site and it is a labor of love, my gift to the world.

I am not a stand-up comic (or Wonder Woman) but I love to encourage people to laugh. I joke around a lot, enjoy silliness, kazoos, whoopie cushions and props of all shapes and sizes. I recently became a Laughter Yoga Leader and know how to make you laugh without telling a single joke (good thing cause I never remember a punchline).

I am on a mission to cure people from the disease called CGDS, Chronic Giggle Deficiency Syndrome (which is caused by a variety of things like depression, stress, anxiety, grief or illness).

Stress less. Laugh More.

This site started as a way for me to share my personal story of depression, grief and transformation after a friend’s suicide. Since starting the site in the spring of 2008, I lost another friend to suicide – this one inspired the name “Giggle On”.

I don’t use laughter, humor & playfulness to cover up the pain of loss, depression or stress. I use it to help transcend the pain, lift my spirits, exercise my bodies & relax my minds.

Laughter (the best medicine outside a bottle) is a transformational holistic healing power uniting the mind, body and spirit, at least that’s what I believe.

In the pages of this site lies my personal story. I am not a therapist or a shrink. I’m just a chick on a personal journey of learning and laughter.

WHY Giggle On?

Laughter helps us recover from illness and strengthens our immune system;
It brings people together and breaks down barriers;
Giggling releases endorphins (natural pain killers) and serotonin (natural feel good chemicals);
A good guffaw helps us feel younger and more alive;
Ha-ha-ing increases circulation and improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout your body;
Laughing relieves stress AND…
It is contagious, has no side effects, does not need FDA approval and it is Fat-free, Tax-Free and Calorie-Free!!! What more could you want (aside from thinner thighs and a bigger bank account)?

Giggle: The Foundation for Full Blown Laughter

When we see something funny or cute, we might let out a little baby giggle.

That precious little giggle is the foundation – the first step toward full blown laughter!

The giggle is an expression of joy and a way that love manifests in your life.

Sharing goodness, love and laughter with you makes my heart smile!

My close friends and associates call me a comedian, a Giggle coach and a cheerleader (minus the pom-poms and the short skirt – thank the Lord for that) but really, I am just Christa.

Even if you have felt the loss of a loved one, experienced the pain of physical ailments or suffered from deep and long lasting depression, it is possible to learn to laugh, love and smile again.

Dream Big.
Believe.
Be Playful.
Giggle.
Love.
Laugh.

Everything is gonna be alright.

About Christa

Useless facts about me: I love purple, hate the color pink, drive a pick-up truck, love Buffalo wing sauce (but don’t really like chicken), hate online dating but love the internet (my new addiction – hi honey, I’m home) and think my dog Rosie is the coolest pooch ever.

Welcome and please, Giggle On!™
