Comedy Love Healing Powers

Ovarian cancer has a new weapon, the healing powers of comedy love!

North Sydney , Australia . 07 Aug 2011.

Meet Shelly Ryan, Comedian,Blogger/Writer, Ovarian cancer supporter and now, Author of "Floor It!"Road Trips Down The Humour Highway", the latest venture by this "funny lady"!

They say "laughter, is the best medicine" and for Shelly Ryan, this is all part of her bigger plan.

Sharing her gift for laughter with the world, Shelly's upcoming publication takes its reader on the journey of a lifetime, offering the power of humour healing in just the right dosage! A book like no other, you'll need to be buckled-in tightly,for you are about to embark on a hilarious ride filled with silly twists and turns and deliberate quirks that will have even the most cynical reader, in stitches!

Shelly's a late bloomer making up for lost time. Don't let the mild-mannered, middle-aged mom persona fool you. Her mantra is "If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun" -- and this Atlanta writer and comedian never misses the fun! This statement is exactly what you'll find with her jokes, just go to any page on the internet where her fans are all in agreement. On a more personal note, as the Founder/Creator of the Feel Teal Club, my own connection with Shelly has allowed me the opportunity to share her other "love", the admiration she has for the late great, Gilda Radner, who sadly lost her battle with ovarian cancer back in 1989.

Since joining us in March 2010,we have shared the launching of our first worldwide awareness campaign and the creation of the Feel Teal Club Forum where we invite the public to participate further, interacting with other community members. It is here, that Shelly has set-up her own room, completely devoted to her many memories of Gilda, aptly titled, "Gilda Moments" with Shelly Ryan.

As we eagerly await the arrival of her new book, it is with much joy in our hearts and deep appreciation that we acknowledge all she has done for our cause....and for women, worldwide!

Michele Wendling (Shelly) Ryan was born in the kingdom of Minneapolis. After being enlightened by great literature(okay, storybook tales), she developed a vivid imagination. Being an only child this trait was useful, although her parents never determined how many imaginary siblings Shelly had. Children eventually have to decide what they want to be when they grow up. Not easy when your role models give conflicting messages. Could a happy medium exist between innocent fairy tale princess and buxom fashion model? Shelly thought this incongruity was funny! By high school Shelly realized a sense of humor was more than entertaining; it was therapeutic! This marching band nerd (who stayed home cleaning the fireplace waiting for Prince Charming to show up) spent her weekends laughing with Saturday Night Live, especially Gilda Radner.
