Ladies first.....Laughter and Tears

Just the other day I did some stage/gallery work. It was probably about 30 people, which is a rather small group. The size of the group can sometimes create nice intimacy and depending on the atmosphere I can let some things fly.

Humour is essential in my work, and that night of course I was hoping for a little humour.

As I'm beginning I was in between two spirits, chatting with them seeing who wanted to go first. I knew one was an older lady, and the other was a flaming gay guy. He had a great, I should say a fantastic sense of humour and he was playing with us all night.

When I was deciding who to go with first, he was hanging on a little, so in my mind I ask him, how about 'Ladies first'

He puts on a move, throws his left hand on his hips, swings his right hand pointy finger up in the air, and yells out laughing 'But I'm a Lady Too'!

Which was true in a way, because the way he appeared was in drag, which then became extremely evidential to the message.

He also implied, 'the pearls will wait' which I didn't share with the group because that was a very private comment only I would have understood.

At one point I hear Jim calling out 'She's a Virgin'! and then he turns on the song with Madonna "She's a Virgin, Touched for the very first time"

So I say to the lady, is this a first time you attend an event like this? She said yes...so I told her exactly what Jim was up to. The whole audience cracked up. Jim really liked the laughter and continued with 'rear end' jokes and comments after that. All in proper ways, because that is how I work.

He turned a good night, into a great night.

Thanks Jim!

Later that night, I gave a message where I thought I was tap dancing, only to learn that it wasn't tap dancing but Irish dancing. I found myself doing as John Holland did in a workshop I attended only a few days ago. He gave an example of Irish Dancing, and swung his leg around. Suddenly I do the same. The lady receiving the message confirmed it all, along with the sour milk in the fridge, and expired eggs in the door of her refrigerator.

It's amazing the detail I can sometimes see, and it's so much fun....when the fun ones appear.

Laughter and Tears go hand in hand
