Some things we can't control! Important info about PA shows!
Monday, April 13, 2009 at 11:34PM Thank you so much for all your thoughts prayers and comments, they really are appreciated. We have had some lovely emails too. Thank you.
Well on Saturday it was a tough time and I didn't know whether I should head off straight to Spain to be with my family, and then I had the added decision as it was Charlie's birthday coming up and also I had the shows. I actually woke up on Sunday morning and I heard "You should go" so there was no question about it.
I spoke to Charlie and he said that he didn't mind me being away for his birthday as we were going to have a party AND he was going to ToysRus AND Chuck E Cheese with Mike and Jonesy. So he was a happy bunny.
I had to change the PA shows and if you are not aware but Easton and York shows have changed. Easton now is on SUNDAY 19TH APRIL and York is SUNDAY 26TH APRIL and you do not need to contact the theater the time is still the same as what is on your ticket.
I am so sorry to those who were traveling and I had to laugh today as Jonesy was writing the e-blast that was going out to inform people and she was 'due to unforeseen circumstances... etc etc" I said you can't say that I am psychic... think of what those skeptics would say... I would be ripped apart... ha ha ha it was so funny, and yes I had been warned as I was told that I was going to have to cancel shows the morning that nan died but I didn't know when!!
Something are beyond our control and we have to accept that we cannot stay in control of everything, just like me changing the shows. But at least they are not in the fall which is what the alternative was.
So I am heading off to Spain tomorrow to be with my family and I am returning on saturday for the show on sunday. So it's going to be a whirlwind trip but something I need to do and I am so thankful that I have a strong man standing by me, and Kev is coming with me.
Righty ho I have to pack 2 cases tonight before tomorrow so I can get away on time.
Big hugs to you all and sending lots of love your way

Lisa - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
I must admit that I had a little chuckle re the "unforeseen circumstances"..... In retrospect it is funny.... and I really wouldn't worry about any skeptics.
Have a safe trip to Spain - hugs Rosalie
Aww Lisa...I'm glad you got a laugh about your announcement to re-schedule your shows...I know any one who knows and loves you will not mind in the least !!!
Take all the time you need...God Bless Charlie...he is the best...
I am glad Kev is by your side....take care you two...safe trip and see you soon...
Much love and hugz xx
I am sorry to hear about your nan's passing. My thoughts are with you. Good on you for going to your family I bet they are happy that you are coming!
Kids are amazing aren't they? They just accept things for what they are, I wish I could be more like that. Death is a part of life and kids seems to accept it and they find way to grief in their own way. They are so much smarter than we think
Lots of love and have a safe trip!

Hi lisa,
My name is Sandrine, I am a French woman living in Spain, Barcelona.
Last night I bump in to videos of your show by coincidence or should I say more to coincide. What a nice surprised! I love your energy; you are such a great woman! I learned so much watching you, how you work and deal with people, you are so fluid, easy and loving, it’s a real pleasure to see someone like you, thank you.
So this morning I look if you had a web and I find your message saying you are going to Spain, Whoa! What a surprised! We have to meet, I receive and feel we have meet, I don’t know why, but I receive we have to move something together but I don’t know what, But I know for sure you find out. I send you my details and all my love
Oh! I just saw now when I was going to send the mail that’s you are going in Spain for someone of your family who become a neighbors up there, so maybe it’s a rest moment for you and your family, so if this week its not the moment to meet the opportunity will show back anyway. Lot of love to you and your family.

You know Kev will give Charlie a wonderful birthday..he is such a good man you, chose a good one! !
Take care, love and hugs xx
Dear Lisa,
I know the decision wasn't easy for you, but I am glad you are at peace with it. I am also glad you have Kevin to be of support; that is a relief!! Take care of your dear, sweet self, and be well. Bless you and keep you safe and always well and have a sense of serenity. I am so very sorry for this hard time and for the loss of your dear nan, but am glad you will be with loved ones and can heal any old wounds that may need healing.
With Love, warm thoughts and caring prayers,
Cheryl
Lisa,
What can I say......I love ya girl :)
There will be no regrets this way, and you are helping your family just by being there for moral support as well. Like I told you before, either decision would have been a hard one, but the right one. I couldnt see any wrong in either dicison you made one way or the other. I was leaning toward one way for you , then another way, and then back again..... But I will say that this will definatley give you the closure that you perhaps need, even though you know she is with you. Your definately doing the right thing in the way of family, your parents etc... Your beautiful girl....
Super Big hugs to you and your entire family
Have a safe flight,
Atmos
Hello Lisa,
Don't worry Lisa... People will understand you. Do what you have to do because you will never be able to come back in time because it will be past... So you will be sure you won't have regrets in the future... It's a good decision and you're having the support of everyone who loves you... Go, go, go... Don't worry, be happy...( :
Bye!
Pascale, Qc

My condolences, Dear Heart. Safe travels, and ... this business with your brother is really interesting. Perhaps that door will open once more.
For some reason I'm hearing 'Malta' so I'm passing that on for you, dunno why.
And it wasn't unforeseen. You knew it was happening - it was the fine timing that was not apparent, as it was still playing out! LOL!
Anyway, am blathering - have a safe and calming trip. Wrapped up on the plane as you zoom across the continent and ocean... a cocoon for you as you process all of this.
Big love and hugs
Dearest Lisa:
Please accept my condolenses on the passing of your nana. As you know, our loved ones never truly leave us, they are always with us as we continue on our journey without them....comforted by the fact that we will see them again.
May the angels see you safely to and from your trip.
Love,
Lori
Hey Lisa,
The most important thing is your family. Everything else can be put on hold or postponed. I am glad you got it all worked out and feel good about it. I know that the biggest challenge was Charlie's birthday but at least you were able to celebrate. I am so glad Kev will be there for you because you will need his support as you are there for your parents. Be sure to take care of yourself and don't forget that this is a big loss for you as well.
Lots of love and hugs... safe travels!

Hey Lisa,
No doubt you have made the right decision. You can always change show dates and work committments, etc, but you only have this one opportunity to gather with your family for your Nan's funeral. It's always hard leaving your children at a time like this, but it sounds like Charlie will be just fine! He's still got more birthday celebrating to do and it sounds like he will be looked after rather well!
You must be feeling rather drained from all the flying lately (as well as emotionally), so try to get some "down-time" while in Spain, if you can.
Take care,
Deb R
Hi my love, I am so glad tht you decided to go and be with your family at a time like this. I am glad that Kev is going with you and you know Charlie,how resilient he can be. After all, look at who he has as a mum and dad!! Safe travels my dear and love to all of you. Your nan is with you always as you know. Give my love to your mom and dad and yor brother also if he is there.
Love ya always,
Mary
My dear Lisa: So glad you made this choice to be with your family. I'm sure you knew all along that it was meant for you to go to be with your family. You have raised an amazing little boy to be such a "champ" about his birthday. You are truely blessed with such a wonderful family. So sorry for the loss of your Nan but as you know, she is now happy and reunited with your grandfather. Safe travels and don't worry about the shows. People that love you will understand. You have a great "family" in the ones that love you on this site. We all want what is best for you. Take care and God bless. Love ya, Anna
Safe trip, see you on sunday!
Hi, Lisa!
Have safe travels. :D Don't worry about skeptics and what they may say or think. It's not our job to change other peoples' minds. We only need worry about ourselves and being the best people we can be. They will be the ones answering for themselves in the end....not us!
My prayers and thoughts are with you. And little Charlie-Boy! Happy Birthday to him!! I'm sure he'll have a great b'day. And now he'll have birthday celebrations for even a longer time since he gets to celebrate with you when you're back. He's blessed to have so many people who love him so much.
Take care!!
Big hugs,
keani
Have a safe trip Lisa. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Hi darling girl,
Ironic life at times when you find your ground I don't know, I'm speaking as myself (because I am me ahhaha, sorry.. tired today), but its at these times something seems to remind you that surrendering to your own vunerabilities and trusting in the spirit world is just as important. I'm definitely one for hanging everything out there, with people and how you feel, honesty for me is what keeps me feeling life for what it is but boy ... this bit is so so true. I still feel a little sad I didnt' see you when you came to Australia. But kind of happy you spent time at my favour hang out, main beach at the gold coast, in surfers. Me and my husband go down there at night and just stare at the stars, we wanted to get married there but couldn't. We got married under the stars instead. Anyway my darling darling friend I have missed your blogs.. I couldn't go to any of your showings here because they were all booked out and I was getting married when we were sent the prebooking tickets, so! I missed you. Stuff it, I will just have to go to america and see you there. Just wanted to say hi and keep up the good work, I know that the Australians would have loved you, I am orginally from Melbourne but moved to the gold coast a year and a half ago. A lot of my friends in Melbourne knew who you were, people here didn't. Alot of people in Melbourne say that me and you have similar characteristics which is funny, funny nice. I think your very cool, i'm a bit of a dag haha. So if I'm anything like you thats awesome. I love your outfits and your taste too. You always look funky and uncomprimisingly yourself. Your just gorgeous.
Take care pumpkin
