Heading to Bakersfield
Wednesday, March 4, 2009 at 10:25PM It was a little rushed today, before I knew it I had to be on the Road to get to Bakersfield. And I achieved nothing... it was one of those days. I just couldn't get motivated.
When I finally did get on the road, it was raining and I felt really flat... I knew that this was the build up for visiting family in Spain. But Nan had her scan and we are waiting for the results.
I drove up to Bakersfield singing and finally my mood lifted to the 'normal' me and I was happy again, and ready to have dinner with friends.
Sometime we need days like this and although I felt a little guilty especially when everyone came into my office and I was watch TV on my computer, like I say, I didn't want to start something I couldn't finish.
So I am now packed for the tour, spain and also Australia!!!
Anyway I am heading to bed, I have to be up at 4am for a tv interview... and who said this was a glamourous life!!! ha ha ha
Have a lovely day!

There's something in the air! I was exactly the same yesterday (and the day before, lol). Instead of finishing off Julian's month end, I was buying craft supplies online!!!! Feel better today after an early night. Ready to tackle some work today... and we shouldn't feel guilty for taking a few hours off and dossing xxx
I agree! I watched shows all day on youtube yesterday and only did what I absolutely had to. Guess what? It didn't matter one bit! You have to veg out sometime Lisa :)
Sending you big love on the journey!!!

Sending you a big hug and sweet dreams...xx
Lisa, my wife and I will be seeing one of your Sydney shows, I hope to say hello and get a picture. I'm also hoping that the spirit who is helping me through my present troubles will drop in and say hello.....Craig
Hi Lisa, so glad you are feeling better and not so glum. The rain will also dampen my mood. Motivation? Gosh, I sooooooooo need some!!! I have also been feeling very blah and basically been staying in bed for the most part for the past 2 days. Like Wobbly said, there must be something in the air. I am in serious need of energy and motivation.
I pray that Nan's scan comes out ok, big hugs and prayers for ((((((((((Nan))))))))
Lotsa Love

Prayers for your nan..I think your Grandad knows everything that is happening to her, and is standing close by., like you said....
Hope all is well when you get to Spain, and i know for sure, your trip to Oz, will allow you much needed freedom...Love Stace

My head was in the clouds!!! Here's hoping we all feel a little more grounded today and things start to feel more normal......sending you love and gratitude.....safe travels.....love to Nan and your family.......peace......deb t/illinois....where Lisa will be coming in June!!!! Yay!!!!!! Sorry....I get carried away.......putting my feet back on the ground......sending you calm and peace and healing light.......love u, Lisa......
Hi Lisa, I have to say that my mother and I love your show and we always try to watch it together. We live in Australia but unfortunately this time around you're only going to Sydney and Melbourne, I really hope you can help all the victims of the bushfires, so many of them, as well as the rest of Australia are so traumatised and I'm sure it will be good for them to talk to you. Lots of luck for your trip and tour here. Hopefully next time you will be able to come to Brisbane in Queensland, my mum and I would love to meet you.
XOXO

Hi my love, Its nice to know that you are semi-normal again. Gee, we need days like that-just slumming around. Rain and all. You can be sooooo busy that you forget to just be...sometimes. Enjoy your trio to Spain and give your nan a big hug from me. Also, do enjoy your tjme in Australia and hurry back home safe. Try and get some "Lisa time" while you are away. My love to Kev and Charlie and to Lucy and Max.
My love always to you my friend.

Bonjour!
Yeah, sometimes I feel like that too... I think it's when I'm tired, overload or when something preoccupy me. Maybe it's like a defense mode...you know like ''well, I have to much things to drive or to think...so I need urgently a break'' The power seems to put automatically at off ( ;
Why we often feel guilty to take this kind of time? Maybe because it's not considered like a productive time (action). But at the end of the day... this lazy time was good for us!! So, don't worry, be happy!! ( :
I guess it's not easy to wait after your Nan's results...
Hey, it would be great to receive a picture of you autographed. You are very photogenic. And it gives you chance to have more lazy time...when you sign pictures you don't have to think... but it's working... well...humm... ;D
Bye et Bonne journée remplit de sourires!!! (( :

Hey there Lisa,
The anticipation of loss can be so escruciating almost worse than the actual loss. The waiting and waiting seems forever when you are trying to get results from tests. I know life has been one big whirl for you these days and it is not going to get any better but your feelings are not on a schedule...LOL. So of course no time is a good time to be sad/ flat but you need to allow yourself to have 'Lisa time'. Our feelings have a way of creeping up on us at the most inopportune times but it is a message to us that we need to slow down and allow ourselves to feel. You owe it to yourself. So others will have to let you be and understand that this is your time. I am not sure why I am typing this but it is what came to me after I read your blog so I am allowing it to flow out. So I hope you don't mind my saying this to you. I am just looking out for you.
Sending you lots of hugs,
DS
my husband and I live in perth w.a. and hoping there was a way we could book a personal reading with you while you are in Australia. we are willing to travel anywhere in australia to meet up. I hope you consider this please.
good luck!
{{{hugs}}}
I sent much love <3 <3 <3 to you and your family!!!! Get some rest and have a wonderful time too!!! @~~~~~~>~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi Lisa,
Everyone is entitled to some down / off time and that includes you. Just think off all that is going on in your life at the moment.....it has to be overwhelming. I am sure you are wanting to get to Spain to be with your Nan....you having to wait can also bring you down. It is hard not being with your family at a time like this.
I wish your Nan well and I am praying for you and your family.
Once you get to Australia and you have some family time you will feel like a new woman. You are allowed to have some Lisa / family time.....you deserve it.
See you when you come to Illinois.....Whioo Hoo.
Much love and hugs,
Cindy / cynthlynn
Hi Lisa, Happy you are feeling better! This week has been a doser for me. Sounds like you have had one too.But things are looking up. I will come to see you tomorow night at the LPAC and cant wait to see you again . Big HUGS!!

Hi Lisa,
I am glad you got to Bakersfield okay; nice drive, huh? (It is better coming up to Bakersfield, than driving down to it; it's a bit of a bear!) Man, this print is small! Anyway, my plans to see all your middle CA shows was foiled! I thought it would be a kick to go to them all and say hi, but circumstance rained on my parade! I'll still hold out (vague) hope for Fresno. Anyway, if I don't see you, have a great trip to Australia, and tell Vy I am jealous! ( I am really happy for her!)
I am keeping the faith that your Nan will get better. I'll bet she has a strong will! Take care of yourself too and your guys!
Loads of Love and Hugs,
Cheryl
Good evening, I'm not one to push my opinions on others, but I'm going to make an exception in this case. I read with interest Lisa's comments that people may misinterpret her reasons for visiting Australia at this particular time. I would be very disappointed to think that it would even enter anyone's mind to think this great lady would do this. Yes the audience will consist of many people who have suffered from the bushfires, but they will be there full of hope just like the rest of the audience. Lisa will bring to Australia, a positive outlook with her usual sensitivity and empathy for everyone. Lisa, please come to Australia with your family, and enjoy this great country. I personally look forward to seeing you in Melbourne.
Blessings

Lisa, you are one amazing lady. My best friend and I watch your show every saturday night without fail, so you can imagine our excitment when we found out that you were coming to Australia and then realised that you aren't coming to Perth, we tried to see if we could fly over to see you in Melbourne/Sydney but money is a huge problem at the moment and both our husbands cant get the time off work to watch our children. So we are begging to see if you can managed to stretch it to Perth.
If not we understand, We hope you have a safe trip down under. Look forward to watching your amazing work on TV.
Take care
Lots of Hugs Shan & Claire
