Hooray! Hooray! The First of May!! Years ago one of our local country cafes was a real hot spot. At lunchtime people would be lined up out the door and around the building, waiting for a place to sit and enjoy lunch. It wasn't the food that brought them to the cafe. It was Betty Lou, the cook. In truth, she wasn't very good at cooking, (some of her food was at best edible). She had something else that brought people in hoards to the cafe. Betty Lou was in her 50s when I first met her. She had wiry salt 'n' pepper hair and stood just tall enough to work the grill. She described her body as a "squat body", and it was an amazingly accurate description. She was insanely funny, wildly nutty, and outrageously hilarious. She had her own coat rack at the cafe that was filled with things like a giant foam rubber cowboy hat, a feather boa, and other weird and wonderful costume parts. Whenever the urge struck her, she'd throw her spatula down on the grill, grab something off the rack, adorn herself with it, and pirouette through the cafe singing some little ditty in her off-tune, gravelly voice. The highlight of my day was eating lunch there. As I became a regular, Betty Lou and I became friends. One day as I was enjoying my cheeseburger, grease running down my arms and dripping off my elbows, she came out from her grill, stopped in front of me, plunked her elbows on the counter, pointed a finger at me and said, "You know what this world needs?" I was almost afraid to ask, so just shook my head "no". "A pink chiffon prom formal," she said, and spun around to mosey back to cooking something fairly edible on the grill. Little did she know that I had a chiffon prom formal. Well, it wasn't pink. It was red. But it had lots of chiffon, including a couple of long hunks hanging down from the bodice. I'd gotten it for a Halloween costume and kept it around because you just never know when you might need a red chiffon prom formal. The next day I brought it into the cafe for Betty Lou. She immediately pulled it on over her food-covered apron and began dancing around the cafe singing some off-tune melody. What brought her to mind recently was something she did every year on the first of May. On that auspicious day she would plunk on one of her costume pieces, grab her greasy spatula, and parade around the cafe, waving the spatula and singing in her off-key voice, "Hooray! Hooray! The first of May! Outdoor sex begins today!" Of course what made this little ditty even funnier was how very unsexy she was in her costume-enhanced appearance. The moral to this story is that people were drawn to the cafe because of her and her high frequential energy. She made people happy and happiness is one of the highest frequencies of energy that we humans can experience. It's right up there with the frequency of love, which is the absolute highest frequency we can experience in our world. She was living proof that raising one's energetic frequency needn't be all about meditating until your mind stops working or contorting your body into an unnatural position for hours or chanting affirmations all day. Simply being silly and having fun does the job, too, and it's easier and more simple. Go do something outrageously silly and fun. Not only will you feel better and be happier, but you'll contribute to the happiness of those around you, too. Fun
and Love, ps. I recently colored my white/grey hair lavender and have very much enjoyed seeing the smiles on people's faces as they look at my outrageously colored hair. I think Betty Lou would be proud of me
I haven't always been a life coach. I've had many jobs and types of work that include (but aren't limited to) logging, clam digging, bartending, pea testing, motel maid, owner/operator of a roofing company, carpenter, Realtor, and salesperson of building supplies to contractors. The weirdest and wackiest of all my jobs was when I was a Construction Superintendent in charge of building a mini-mart/gas station. Everything from the job site itself to the subcontractors had some oddball aspect to it, often requiring me to come up with some creative solutions. Enjoy reading a sample chapter here: Chapter 23 from Studs. If
