LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!

Do you remember the section of the Reader's Digest by that name? Such is indeed the case! Without giving expression to the joy within you, you won't experience the fullness of life which is intended for all of us.

As an adult, you can become consumed by your worries and the busyness of life. In so doing, you're missing out on your innate joy. I've heard it said that children laugh hundreds of times per day. On the contrary, adults only laugh about six times per day. Wouldn't you say it's time to change that? How can you do this?

You can begin by finding humor within situations that you didn't used to find so funny. Perspective gives you an advantage that you didn't always find during those past moments. You can share a joke with a friend. You can go to a funny movie or read a funny book. With the latter choice, I can offer you a vehicle for side-splitting laughter.

I am the author of a series of hilarious books that will provide you an escape into a journey of unbridled joy. In them, you will take a trip to the fictional town of Bucksnort, Wisconsin where you'll meet a nun you are not likely to forget.


Sister Mary Olga Fortitude enjoys tipping a bottle of bourbon while she puffs away on her Marlboros. She spins funny tales about the folks on Dinkledorf Drive that you will never forget. You'll meet the Reverend Mother who was a former prostitute. You'll meet the handsome gay cowboy who is a chef at the convent.

You'll meet the ornery prude, Priscilla Bunhead, who is always digging in the dirt. Trust me, she finds plenty of that among her neighbors. You'll meet the irascible Martha Mayhem who always finds a bone to pick with her neighbors. You'll even meet a nun who is really a man. Along with them, you'll meet a host of deliciously zany characters that will keep you laughing in stitches.

Start out your journey with "The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude". Have no fear, the journey won't end there. You'll want to devour the next book, "Babes in Bucksnort", as soon as you've finished the first.

The good news is that both books are available for sale on Amazon.com. There, you will get free shipping and handling if you order both of them at the same time. They are also available in Kindle format where you will save more than three times over the cost of the paperbacks. (Kindles are $3.99)


The books are quick reads. You can easily polish off one on a lazy rainy afternoon. Curl up on your comfy sofa and get ready to laugh. I guarantee you'll be ready to delve into the next one at your next earliest opportunity.

The other good news is that I have polished off nine other books in the series. You will soon be able to look forward to reading Have A Heart. In it, you will discover the nasty little secret of the Reverend Billy-Bob Blunthead and his Born Again or Burn Forever Disciples for Jesus. You will also meet a free spirit named Cherie Amour who channels spiritual truths that rival those of Sister Mary Olga.

Yes, indeed! Get ready to laugh and find your way back to your joy. Then share that joy with your friends. Everyone needs a good laugh. Pass it on and your own joy will be multiplied.

About "The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude" Part 2 From Literal Exposure

Are you ready for a class in Advanced Holiness for people from all walks of life? Then, perhaps you’re ready to take a trip to the Have A Heart convent in Bucksnort, Wisconsin. There, you’ll meet a nun you’re not likely to forget – Sister Mary Olga Fortitude.

"The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude" is a satire with a spiritual message, but there’s a lot of hanky panky going on here. Sister Mary Olga is an irreverent nun who has some unique spiritual views that differ from those of the Pope. She’s a great believer of “to each, one’s own.” She also loves her Marlboros and her bourbon. Just don’t let the Reverend Mother in on her secret. The next class in Advanced Holiness may be canceled.


Here in Bucksnort, you’ll meet a zany cast of all-too-human characters. There’s a lot of secret-keeping going on here, but Sister Mary Olga will be sure to deliver the goods in order to provide you with good and bad examples of holiness.

The Reverend Mother is a former prostitute. The convent’s chef is a gay cowboy. Priscilla Bunhead is the town busybody who opens some other closet doors. She, along with the other folks on Dinkledorf Drive, serve up examples of what not to do.


One thing’s for sure. These characters will lighten your load and help you to not take life so seriously. Get ready for non-stop laughs

SPRING INTO BUCKSNORT

Spring is here. The sap is flowing and the temperatures are rising. Your temperature will rise when you spring into the fictional town of Bucksnort. There, you will meet some memorable characters with whom to further warm your hearts through the gift of laughter.

Start your journey with "The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude". Then continue to laugh your pants off with "Babes in Bucksnort". My zany characters are meant to purely entertain, though you will encounter nuggets of wisdom along the way.

Sister Mary Olga loves her bourbon and her Marlboros, but she also loves to teach classes in Advanced Holiness. Not all of her students embrace her teaching. The lecherous Poopsy Dinkledorf is constantly making passes at her other female students. Meanwhile, his great grandson, Fartley, causes an uproar in her Beginner's classes while he takes perverse pleasure in passing gas.

The ornery town prude, Priscilla Bunhead, wouldn't be caught alive in any of Sister Mary Olga's classes. She has her mind made up about everything. The poor dear wears her hair in the most unbecoming hairstyle. It is tied up in a tight little bun at the back of her head. It's so tight that her mind is closed shut like a steel trap.

She finds others who like to have someone else do their thinking for them when she founds an organization called BUN – Bunheads Unite Now. Together with the Reverend Billy-Bob Blunthead and his Born Again or Burn Forever Disciples for Jesus, they embark on a mission of judgment. Through the use of fear, they trap other vulnerable souls in a spider's web of delusion.

The characters are zany and the situations are outrageous. You will encounter one hilarious misadventure after another. Take a break from your cares and enjoy an escape. Visit Amazon.com where you can purchase both books in either paperback or kindle format.

 You'll be glad you did!

In Light of Gay Parenting on the Rise, New York Author Offers Inspiration on Self- Acceptance

(Syracuse, NY) CNN reported that data from the most recent U.S. Census shows that the South has the largest share of gay parents in the country. The story then went on to quote Gary Gates, a demographer with the Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, and School of Law.

“Gay and lesbian people tend to come out later in life, in those areas, which means they are more likely to have children from a previous relationship earlier in their lives.”

The CNN report asserted that according to Gate's survey, San Antonio, Texas, leads the country in gay parenting, with 34% of same-sex couples raising children. That's followed by Jacksonville, Florida at 32%.

Author, Davis Aujourd'hui, who himself is gay, and the creator of the highly- rated and hilarious "Sister Mary Olga Fortitude" - a series of 11 books centered on religious and social satire.

Many of the characters in his books are gay. His latest book, "BABES IN BUCKSNORT", Davis says, "is especially written to speak to those who do not accept themselves."

Aujourd'hui says, "Times are changing and it is easier than ever to find self-acceptance as a gay person in this country. That is certainly not the case everywhere. It’s just that we've made many strides since the early days of gay liberation. It's time to celebrate and stop complaining."

A big believer in motivating others to "stand strong in their own identity," Aujourd'hui offers three tips for individuals to celebrate their individual diversity in a judgmental world:

* The road to self-acceptance requires a lot of personal effort. This all begins with self-affirmations. Saying to yourself something like the following will be very helpful: I am a beloved child of God. I am worthy of love. I am who I am meant to be. Being gay is good.

* Sometimes this will mean having to make hard choices. If your family or friends do not accept you, you may need to distance yourself from them. Network and find safe people and safe places who affirm you. Create a new family. Make new friends. Never take on any one's judgment of you. You are inherently good and were made gay for a reason.

*Life may not be as funny as it is in my book "Babes in Bucksnort", but that doesn't mean that you can't create your own joy. That's what life is meant to be about. The task for you is to accept life on life's terms and to make the most of it. You are the only one who can do it. Go for your bliss!
