So, as you might know by now, my motto is Laugh Long and Prosper. I believe that humour is one of our best coping mechanisms, especially when we are facing stress.
Along with humour, I think Charity is massive.
Charity and humour do the same thing – they make us feel good. They make others feel good. They allow us an opportunity to give back. They are both essential. As we embark on a new year, I want to talk about a charity that I have been involved in for the past 7 years. This is a local Toronto based group called City Street Outreach. You can find them at http://www.CityStreetOutreach.org
City Street Outreach (CSO) is a 100% VOLUNTEER-run, DONATION-based and ALL-INCLUSIVE registered charity providing food, clothing and assistance to the homeless, street-involved youth, seniors, new immigrants/refugees, disabled, single mothers and individual/families in need and/or living in poverty across the GTA.
If you would like to make a donation or you would like to donate food, clothing, small household items, baby diapers, pet food, etc - please check out http://www.CityStreetOutreach.org
City Street Outreach is 100 % volunteer based.

Hi there,
I'm Judy Croon. Welcome to another Episode of Laugh Long and Prosper, shelf help with a dash of humour. I believe that humour is one of our best coping mechanisms, especially when we are facing stress.
Today I am chatting with One Funny Lady Deborah Kimmett
She is a regular on CBC’s Winnipeg Comedy Festival, LOL and is an accomplished author of four books, Reality is Overrated and That Which Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Funnier, and Out Running Crazy and her new book Window-shopping for God She was nominated twice for the National Magazine Award for Humour. As well, she has been shortlisted for the Governor-General Award for her play Miracle Mother in 1984. She has written 52 episodes of TV on Steve Smith’s Go Girl. Her lead in the movie, Keep Coming Back debuted at the Palm Springs Film Festival, and Whistler Film Festival garnered a best actress nomination for ACTRA. She has appeared on Canadian gems like Frankie Drake, Tall Boyz, and Gayle Pyle.
Now these are all amazing accolades but I suspect this next credit is one of the things that Deborah is most proud of and that’s her Secret Santa Sock Fund.
Deborah's Secret Santa Sock Fund raised over $6200 that could be spent on wool and thermal socks for those less fortunate.
Along with hundreds of pairs of socks, she also handed out mylar sleeping bags, shackets,jackets, hats and mitts and more cash this year.
The beneficiaries are 519 Community Centre, Integrated Health in Kingston, Men's Shelter, Sistering, in Toronto Morningstar Mission, Napanee, Bancroft Centre, Greenwood Coalition, and Port Hope.
We also talked about Deborah's online writing courses which really fill up in January. If you would like more information about Deborah you can reach out to her at deborah@kimmett.ca or her website http://www.Kimmett.ca
