Comment: Just say yes.

Just got home from leading an improv class with a bunch of fabulous women who are all moms at my daughter's preschool. It was inspiring for many reasons, primarily of which is that we didn't know each other when we started, but by the time the evening was through, every single one of us had guffawed, giggled and laughed hysterically together several times over.

It reminded me that the key to life is much like the key to good improvisation: say yes, push your comfort zone, work with your partner, not against them. But especially the yes part.

Although we all felt self-conscious at first, before long the creative juices were flowing. And this is s necessary for happiness, I am convinced.

Say yes.
