My Laughter Coach, Dan the Man, and I had an "AHA" moment.  I was sharing with him something that troubled me.  It was weighing deeply on my soul and causing me grief.  I wasn't able to let go of what I did, what I said, how things happened, etc., etc., etc.

Dan created a safe space for me to share my drama.  He gave me the gift of listening.  As I heard my story and felt the emotions, I felt vulnerable and started to cry.  Dan neither judged nor commented.  He held the space sacred for me to express myself.

As I cried, it felt like this huge weight lifted off my soul.  Once that emotion spilled out, I felt the LAUGHter bubble up and we LAUGHed and LAUGHed and LAUGHed.

It was OMazing.  Allowing myself to feel the grief and cry opened the door to LAUGHter and forgiveness and JOY.  And just like a dog (God backwards), I was able to shake it out and off.
