Spain
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 01:30PM I finally made it to Spain after a grueling 24 hours of travel. I didn't sleep really at all on the plane, as much as I tried, I just couldn't to it. I dozed, but it wasn't real sleep. I suppose apprehension and everything else stopped me. So when I got here and visited Nan in the hospital, I was on my last legs!!!
The bed next to Nan is empty, and I was so tempted to curl up and sleep!!
Well my Nan is doing well. She was really happy to see me and cried when I gave her a big squeeze. She's scared of course, but keeping a brave face on for the sake of the family. The scan results have come back, and we are waiting for her to have a biopsy today. It's not looking good, but we are all making her laugh.
Dad nearly had us over the edge of a cliff today!!! Bless him, he was chatting away to me in the back and was trying to look at me more than the road. Thankfully I shouted to him to watch out, and half the car started to go over the side, fortunately after a short while he gained control and got it back on the road!!! Guess who got to drive the rest of the way to the hospital.... Me! I'm not sure what was more traumatic, going over the edge or me driving!!! LOL!
We are in the back of beyond with no Internet service, and limited phone service. I am so glad I can keep up with things on my phone, it's amazing how much we rely on technology!!! In my Nan's day, everyone took the time to write letters!!! I used to love to recieve letters and now we all check the inbox on our emails!!!
Mom and Dad have just nipped out to go to the shop, and I am here with nan waiting for her biopsy. I've had this done before so I know she is worried about it, but she's slipped into a sleep so it's enabled me to blog which is nice. I'll let you know how she gets on.
I have some exciting news... and I totally forgot to tell you over the weekend, but Ronda LaRue and myself are holding another one day retreat in Ojai, CA again in May this year. There are limited places, so get in quick.
It's Journey of the Soul... embracing you and your loved ones and helping you on the journey to gain the life you really want.
Check it out at www.journeyofthesoulojai.com -- we are both really looking forward to it! We have a different venue to last year, and it is just gorgeous. Over 200 acres of pristine and serene beauty!
I know last year it sold out quickly so get in quick if it's something you would like to do. We have to keep the number of attendees small so as to keep the day intimate and hands on from us both. Ronda is amazing and helped me so much on my own personal journey.
Well I am thankful for technology now to help me keep you all up to date, and glad I can email my blog in, the wonders of email!!
Have a great day
Lots of love
Lisa xx

It's great to have the support of everyone on here and on FB, eh chick? They love you, la la la la la la !!! xxx
My thoughts and prayers are with you all xx
Thanks for keeping us updated on Nan. Peace to you and your family
I understand how you feel about your Nan. My gram, such a wonderful person in my life, just had some biopsy results come back saying she has lung cancer. She is 84 years old and the doctor's say it is best not to fight it. I believe this his her journey, she has been alone since my grandpa passed on 30 years ago. I feel in my heart he will welcoming her over. The doctors gave her less than 6 months, but at least it is time to spend with her now. Love all you do and who you are. Best wishes for you and you Nan. We should all be so proud to have such wonderful women in our lives. Hugs Lisa

I'm glad your Angels kept the car on the road - Whew! Get your rest, and make sure YOU do the rest of the driving! LOL
Take these moments with your Nan into your heart, and cherish them. You are so lucky to have the means to fly off and be with her. Enjoy!
Hugs, Laurel

Lisa,
As always, you are in my thoughts & prayers, as you travel this difficult road that we all must, at one time or another in our lives. Prayers for Nan and your family. Take some time for you, rest..... Hope Charlie is on the mend.
Blessings

Lisa, please know that I have included your Nan in my prayers tonight. You have once again given me the purpose in life to reconnect with my spiritual side which is very strong. I have let too much clutter tarnish my soul and I'm trying really hard to "clean it back up"!! It feels great for me to include your Nan and your family in my thoughts as I feel that opening up and spreading love is what we are on this earth to do. God Bless you Lisa!!! I hope to meet you some day!
Glad you got to spain safe .hope the best for you and your journey saw you in los angeles at the club nokia got to meet you at the meet and greet your hudband had to take a picture cuz my camera didnt work was #3 hopefully when he gets time he will email me that picture c-angeles@live.com.would love to see it(hint-hint) lots of love for the rest of your journey take care lisa.Hope to see you again sometime.
Love, light and prosperity to you, your spirit and yours. We are praying for you and your family to have the best possible outcome for your Nan. An old Spanish proverb says, "No hay mal que por bien no venga", which translates to "Nothing bad ever happens without a good reason." Maybe the biopsy scare is intended for your loved ones to watch Nan a little closer so you can have her around longer. Well Lisa my mom and I wanted to extend our eternal gratitude for your reading on Friday, March 6, in Lancaster! California. We are the mother daughter team of the gentleman that was flirting with you shamelessly and grabbing at your BOOBIES (TITTIES). As you know doctors can not heal themselves nor can a psychic truly do a non bias reading for themselves or their close relatives. My mom says she has a message for you and would very much like it if you would contact her at her e-mail nannygoat715@yahoo.com so she can pass it on to you. In the meantime we both are sending positive energy and strength. Until our paths cross again. Chaio Bella!
Hi Lisa,
Many good wishes and prayers for you and your family for health, happiness, and love for ever and ever.
Take care!
Love and hugs,
Cheryl
Lisa, tears in my eyes reading your post how Nan was so happy to see u and how she cried, am envisioning this reunion in my mind and it just makes me feel so happy and sad at the same time. Lisa. I am so glad you are there with her as she really needs you there with her. I am praying for a good outcome on her tests.
Remind me to NEVER ride with your dad when he is behind the wheel!! OMG, what a fright that had to have been!!!! My heart nearly jumped out of my chest reading how you almost went over the cliff!!!! God was watching over you, Lisa. Good grief, I can only imagine the TERROR when the car started going over the side!!!
As always, am sending LOVE to you and yours.
Hugs
