... is about to change.
Over the weekend I attended a fundraising event for a dog that needs surgery. The end goal is to reach 3000.00, and Chloe's human has raised just under 2500.00 thus far. I noticed attendance at the event was a bit on the low side, so I approached Melissa and gave her a stack of business cards & an offer. If anyone booked a Reading Party in Chloe's name, 10.00 from each paid reading would go toward the cause. Melissa promptly spread the word and by the end of Sunday I had been contacted by 2 people looking to book a party. The first one was last night.
I have spent so much time in my own circle of friends and within the Pagan/Healing community that I forgot what it's like to be around Mundanes. Even at a psychic fair, people go to those with some sort of idea of what to expect. Last night I read for 7 Virgins (if you will). Talk about nervous! Poor things never knew what hit them, lol!
Each and everyone of them took something from their reading with them, which is kind of the point. And each and everyone of them were stunned, shocked, freaked. One girl's reaction was that of a deer in headlights when I asked her why I could see her cutting herself.
As the night wrapped up late and I had missed a bus, I got a ride to the bus terminal so I could catch the next bus. 3 of the girls were in the car, and I got some great feedback. They'd all always been interested in getting a reading, but they'd heard from others about bad readings and/or fakes. They were impressed with the night and fully intend to tell all their friends. All hail the power of Word of Mouth.
Chloe's human was one of the paid readings last night, and she's hosting her own party next Wednesday. The host from last night is going to attend the party on Wednesday and get another reading. Normally I'd tell a person there's no point to get readings so close together but the reading she got last night had to do with a deceased loved one, the reading she wants to get on Wednesday will be about her own life.
Here it is 4 days after the fundraiser because listened to a nudge there are now 3 dates booked and a fourth one in the planning.
