Last Saturday night, I did it again. I don't think I expected to, wasn't planning on it or had even thought about it, not seriously anyway. But, I did it............again.
A new friend of mine, Paul Aldrich, is a comedienne who has been doing stand-up for 30 years. Through a mutual friend, we were introduced to each other and after a 10 minute conversation on the phone, it happened! He invited me to do a few minutes of stand-up! Of course, I hesitated for a moment. Ok, not that long, and said "YES!"
Paul also wanted to turn this into a charity event for the pregnancy center, which I thought was admirable, so how could I say no? Everyone knows that I'll do just about anything for our center and the cause of life. The night was called "Paul & Friends!" I was one of his "friends!"
Once again, I had a blast! At this point in my life, I have so much on my plate. I'm the Executive Director of a Pregnancy Center, writing my 2nd book, hosting a FOXSports Radio Program, performing in a musical, accepting speaking engagements across the country and opening a 2nd Pregnancy Center. And that's just my professional life. My personal life is even crazier! I'm raising a 16 year old daughter and helping to support a 20 year old in college. My professional life combined doesn't add up to the everyday challenges of dealing with my teenager!
And now, I"ve performed stand-up for the second time. I'm not complaining whatsoever. God has been very good to me. He's blessed me beyond what I deserve.
So, how many careers can someone really have? I don't know, but I'm up for the challenge to find out! This comedy thing is therapeutic for me. I share stories about my life and family and people laugh about it. They are laughing AT me! And I don't mind!
So, who knows? Maybe another "Paul & Friends" is in my future?! A Zanie's appearance? Chelsea Lately? Or maybe JAY LENO one day?
Now, that's funny.
