We the people, in order to form a more connected society, NEED JOKERS! So bad! Jokers are connectors and that’s what we are starved for these days is true connection. So the next time you decide to check out and disconnect from the world at, say the grocery store, consider looking around and pointing out something in common to the humans around you. They’ll likely laugh. You will too and both of you will go away a little lighter. Angie Williams will help you see how Joker Playstyle makes life just light, connected and more playful. Jokers/connectors have something we could all use. Let’s PLAY!















As a side note, we were not able to find where Brene’ Brown was at a Garth Brooks concert talking about connecting through positive rather than negative experiences but man it’s good so if you find it let me know! wendy@letsplayforlife.com

Elizabeth Gilbert wrote Big Magic Creative Living Beyond Fear and her advise applies perfectly to what we are doing on Play for Life, living the best life we can through PLAY. Being playful often requires courage to do that thing that is inside you and longs to come to life! Do you have the courage to bring the treasures inside you to life?

We make all sorts of lists but this is one you’re going to want to make and keep handy. A playlist is rad. Basically make a list of all the play possibilities so when play is possible you’ve already thought of lots of options. The play styles or personalities is a good place to start. Mover. Artist/Creator. Collector. Competitor. Explorer. Director. Joker. Storyteller.
