The
other day during a jewelry class I was giving, I told a story about
one of the places I had lived in abroad, adding a few funny
embellishments, and as the class was laughing, one of the students
said, “Oh, Janice, you have the gift of the gab. You must have
kissed the Blarney Stone”!
I
stopped and said, “Well, you caught me, because I have
kissed the Blarney Stone. Would you like to hear what it’s like?”
They nodded, because they knew another story was coming whether they
agreed or not.
The full story of visiting Blarney Castle is told in the chapter of my upcoming book, but in case you're wondering how kissing the Blarney Stone affected my gift of the gab, I can tell you that the only thing going through my mind as I was hanging upside down outside of that ledge was: "Don't blink! Don't blink! Oh, God, please don't let my contacts fall out!"
I had no idea there was a real Blarney Stone, or that if you kiss it, you then become a chatterbox!
