Sometimes you can't heal everyones pain
Monday, June 8, 2009 at 12:04AM I really don't know where to start tonight... I really don't. It;s been a crazy day. The journey to Peoria, was uneventful, thankfully... no getting lost or anything. So great start :)
Sometimes it's hard doing what I do, as people are always ready to knock you for what you do and how you do it. I have lived with it all my life and I am used to it but for some reason I was not on form with it... maybe too sensitive or something but it did get to me tonight... but also I knew tonight was going to special, and there was one moment tonight that made me realize why I do my work... because if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be writing my blog.
We all get 'negged' out occasionally and this was my night tonight.
The readings tonight were fun and happy and yes I gave closure, but after the show was weird... strange energy and having felt a little down I sat in my dressing room and several things happened... just like they were supposed to happen.
Normally I close down after the show, but because of a situation, I didn't... I had started the closing down process but not quite completed it... so I went out to the meet and greet line 'open'... I would say I read for about 15 people in the meet and greet line so I am sorry it moved really slow.
Finally I got towards the end and that was it... I met a mother, whose heart was breaking so much that I didn't know what to say and how to help. Yes I bought through her spirits and gave the messages that she needed but I couldn't heal her pain. Nothing could. I wanted to help her so much and I know those people who were there, must have felt like they were intruding as it was so intimate... but all I wanted to do, was heal the space that her kids once filled.
It's going to be one of those moments that will stay with me forever. And it was the moment I needed to make me realize that despite the negative comments because people are so desperate to connect and because I don't connect with them they are quick to 'knock' you... I know that I help those that need it so much. And this mother did. She helped me turn the corner and I am glad I stayed open!
We all cried so much and I needed a moment to compose myself and meet the remaining few that were left...
Thank you for all supporting what I do and believing...
Tomorrow, I believe my hubby wants to blog so that could be a fun one!
Love
Lisa xx

wow....it sounds like it really hit you....and I understand why.....but I'm glad you stayed open,there is always a reason....and you always know what to do and when to do it. You helped her more than you know :-) Take care!
Aw Lisa :(
You are so amazing..
To be able to see through that negativity and see your amazing qualities.... teach me lol
It hard to see someone in so much pain.. And not be able to do much.. It must be really really hard... I know someone, very close to me, going thru that..
Big hugs for you and hope you get some rest and remember how many lives u change n how amazingggg you are and the closure you give!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
sounds wonderful wow thank you lisa
i wish you would help me , i could really use a message from my loved ones ,, and one certain love of my life . i think what you do is amazing lisa and wish for the day that you will get to me in your journey of helping and healing
Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear that you have had such a rough time lately.. I had been thinking how hard this all must be on you and your family at times.. Although what you do heals and helps so many.. I worry that at times maybe it steals alittle to much from you, your son and your husband. It always seems when we are at the edge of breaking God reminds how strong we are.. and what are purpose is.. I feel blessed to have met you (Bakersfield, Ca), and although I did not recieve a reading at that itme.. I felt a peace when I met you.. and your picture brought me peace over the next few days after. Which was really what I needed with the week I had. I just really wanted to let you know you had touched my life.. and I'm so thankful for you and all you do & give up. It seems as though you were meant to met this mom.. I think you helped each other.
God Bless You Lisa..
Love,
LaChell Henry
You as a person and what you do Lisa, is amazing and don't ever forget that...no matter what the 'knockers' say...but I understand it gets to you sometimes...you are only human ??!!!
The important thing is to acknowledge this as you did !!!
I believe I was there with you at your shows ??? LOL...my wonderful, special friends , whom because of you I have met, took 'me' with them...some laughter through the tears...I am so blessed !!!
Love and big hugzz
You are a lovely person with great empathy and a great psychic medium.
Keep doing what you are so good at and touch peoples hearts as they will touch yours.
Big hugs and respect
Wow Lisa,
I can connect with what you are saying in todays blog.

positve person as you.
Big hugs to all
Leeanne
Lisa, draw your strength from those of us that are positive about what you do. You help us in times of need and I am sure I am not alone when I say we are more then happy to give you our strength when you need it.
Keep up your fantastic gift xxxxx
I for one am glad you are out there doing what you do! I have such love for you when I see your sincerity and grace with what you are doing! Hang in there!!
Everything happens for a reason. Don't think I could have believed it more than I ever do now ever since I became a part of the "fam"...
I absolutely and completely understand what you mean about wanting so deeply to heal someone's pain, but knowing that there really isn't much more you could do than what you have already done and that you have to just accept that.... left with feeling helpless, in a way, that you couldn't do more... that you couldn't make that pain disappear...
But you have to know that, despite all that.... bottom line is, you Have done something for them, and you Have touched their hearts just as much as they have touched yours...
And if that helped them at all, even if just in the tiniest way... then it was Something, and it was worth it.
Although... I don't know about you... but I still struggle with trying to accept feeling like I have not done "enough"....
Anyhow... just as much as you are thankful for everyone here supporting you and believing in you.... We are just as thankful to You for giving so many of us something To believe in. <3
Time for me to go beddy by... hopefully... Night night and Sleep with Angels <3
Lots of Love,
Vy
Thank you for sharing that, Lisa. Hope today is gentler on you.
Much Love,
Lana
Thanks Lisa for what you do. I hope that the good outweighs the bad.
As Dr phil says, it takes more good on ya girl to make you belive that you are doing a wonder job than one idiot saying you are not.
As in all aspects of our life we kind of blow off the good things people say and take to heart the bad.
You are a truly wonderful lady and I hope you know that.
Look forward to hearing from Kev tomorrow.
Lisa, Keep doing what you do best, giving love & hope to all.
We will always have skeptics and people who will try to knock us down. Rise above them.
Keep working with spirit, keep the love flowing.
Cant wait to see you in Canberra!
Love & Light Always,
Matthew James & Christine

Lisa,
Wow your incredible, like you say all things happen for a reason and you've obviously stayed tuned in for a reason at your last show to help those who really needed helping especailly that poor Mother, sounded very emotional.
You have such a kind heart to help people in the way you do. Too bad for the skeptics they dont know what they are missing out on.
Looking forward to reading Kev's blog!
Take Care,
Lara Haidary
Lisa, I'm sorry such a beautiful person is knocked at times. You don't deserve it. I would love to hear from my family, but I guess it isn't the right time yet. You just keep doing what you do, relieving the pain and helping bring closure to those who you meet along your journey here. How wonderful you had stayed open for that woman and others tonight.
I saw you in syracuse fully not expecting a reading, but for a couple weeks after the show I had severe trouble sleeping, I felt all these strange energies, all these people you did read felt like they were comming at me.. A couple weeks later my mom was redisgnosed a stage 4 breast cancer after 17 yrs. Suddenly my life changes and I begin to remember my grandmother I lost as a child. Her passing has psyholigicallly disturbed me since I was. So to had cancer and they took her and I never saw her again. I never did get closure. Ur show helped me deal all this and let me tell my mom how I felt, so I never feel that way when she passes. I thank you for letting me come this far. Please pray for, I'm not ready to lose her yet!
Hi Lisa,
The thing thats so interesting about you is your so not famous in the normal sense. Your not in womans mags, your not being shown in fashion programs and yet your more in the public eye than any celebrity I know. I mean facebook is one example, you meet people at your shows. You doing something because it's right is so you. You get a sense with you that you've known you before you got famous, which isn't the case. Anyway, my point is, it takes so much courage to go with how you feel sometimes and i'm glad this was a point for you where you thought sometimes its wrong but sometimes its so right. You are one person who I believe deserves confidence, you are a shining light my friend and so authentic I love you. xoxoxoxox
I am sending you the biggest Squiggy hug!!!! Some people like to knock what they can't do! Some people need inspiration to continue doing what they do. You inspire so many! If only we all could - the world would be a better place!
Hi Lisa
There's always the possibility of feelings of disappointment from live shows because people having seen the readings on TV come hoping to be read in the same way. The live readings don't have as much feedback as on TV so to an extent people watching are locked out of the reading. It would be unfair for people to expect to be able to enjoy the readings in the same way. People need to be more realistic in their expectations only a small number of people will be read and most of the show will be spent watching other people's readings.
Mediums shouldn't be depended on to give closure to the bereaved. There are professional people out there who are better able to provide help for grief and other problems. Mediums are there to provide a top up of help not to be the main service provider. An evening of mediumship is an experiment and cannot guarantee anyone receives a communication from a loved one. There are also spiritualist churches in some areas that may give people a better chance of being read by a medium if they attend regularly.

Hi Lisa,
wow! what a day you had. Hey Lisa, there will always be sceptics out there unfortunately. They are merely just ignorant. Don't ever let them get you down :) Just know that we believe in you and your special gift. It's a shame that there will always be those people that refuse to open there minds and hearts to the spiritual side of things. And realize only when they pass over to the spirit world that they were wrong. These people frustrate me sometimes. They really need to be open to receive such inlightment. Anyway, that was very nice of you to give readings at the meet and greet. I'm sure they appreciated that. And hey, don't you ever let anyone knock you back. Chin up :) You shine so brightly. Ok, take care, should be interesting to see what Kevin blogs. Hugs 4 u Marcel :)
Sweet sweet girl. You`ve helped her more than you know :) Get some peaceful rest and I send you lots of hugs and love your way.
Big smile from Wensie in Norway :)
Lisa, you have a beautiful gift that brings comfort to so many. For every critic there are a hundred people who love what you do and what you stand for. The critics and skeptics are afraid to believe - it rocks their self-imposed and restrictive world.. Your calling demands much from you but ... you deliver and bring comfort, faith and hope to so many.
Love and light.xxx
May the followers of all religions and spiritual paths work together to create peace among all people on earth. Lisa, keep doing what you are doing, you truly are a positive light.
Lisa,
Wow! It sounds like Peoria was a powerful night indeed. I am glad so many people got messages and that you tried to bring closure to those who needed it. I am sure you touched the hearts of many.
