Reno
Sunday, August 2, 2009 at 03:09AM All I can say is... I love Reno!!! Seriously I do I have had a great
time since arrive almost 15 hours ago. I am here less than 24 hours
and I love it, I want to come back.
The show tonight was awesome! I did a straight 2 hour show, no
intermission just straight through and I feel it worked well. I did
have a disaster as I forgot my computer charger but I'm meeting Kev in
Vegas tomorrow and he'll bring it with him so it's no big deal, I just
hope this blog gets through to you.
We've had a change on the team of LW, Ryan from Australia has joined
us and it's great to have him on board! I worked with him in Australia
and he is great, he's come over to the US to work on my tour here.
Mike, Ryan and Steve (chris my normal vidrographer has had surgery so
is not on the road with me till September) we all had dinner after the
show.
We had so much fun. Life is about having fun and enjoying what
opportunies come your way. Enjoy every moment, even when the kids are
moaning, as you have yo look on the bright side of life!
Ok heading off to bed ready for Vegas!!!
Hugs everyone!

Lisa I love watching your shows, you have an empathy, charisma, and love that shows with everyone you meet. Your warmth is infectious and always makes a person feel comfortable with the 'other world' of life! And to see people change their view about the 'other world' is life changing and very healing. Cant wait till you get to Adelaide South Australia... thanks Erika
Glad you enjoyed Reno, and the very large stage!!
Some of the greatest and biggest names have played that stage in the 30 plus years it's been there. I hope you got to see some of the "biggest little city in the world"
I would have been more than happy to let you use my mac charger.."tried to let you know, to no avail".
It was a nice show with a chance to finally let go of someone I had cared about for what felt like a lifetime, but really was only a brief moment of time and in my life. We all have are own lessons in life to learn about those we share our lives, our friendships with. Not all turn out to be friends like we thought they would, some not real friends after all, don't all stay in our lives. But what we take out of the experience and time we shared with them is. ( if you have it carole king and 'now and forever' says all I can't)....
I'm just grateful I had my moment in time with you, to learn and grow, and be able to.... in my small part... touch as many lives as I can with the gifts I've accepted I have and how I use them.
It was almost exactly a year to the date I did my first show style reading for over 150 people at a celebration of life party, for a woman who worked on that same very stage over 30 years ago.She was and entertainer/dancer back many years ago when they put on the old "Reno/.Vegas" style shows NV is known for.
She spent almost 15 years there, her husband still works in the av/lighting dept after nearly 30 years, going back to the old MGM days, some of his co-workers were working tonight helping with the behind the stage "stuff" that goes on at a casino showroom.
I'm glad I had the chance to finally be able let go of that person, who it turns out, was never really real, at least not in the friendship or anything else sense, in my life to begin with, but has had such a hold on how my life has become what it is and shaping into what it will become
I thank you for that and everything else I take from you. Enjoy the rest of my home state....and finally the words I know have wanted to be heard. Goodbye....I have moved on and accepted the choice that was made for me and know longer NEED that friendship or person in my life to be O.K. ..to make it on my own.....Goodybye MY this lifetime friend..I know now the truth and have accepted it.
Thank you For coming to Reno, the irony of your trip here to me you will never fully know

Hi Lisa,
Last night I was privileged to recieve a reading from you with Miriam bringing my parents. It was a tremendous message to hear. I couldn't figure out the stick or the pole, but while listening to the rest of the show, I rmembered! My dad had fashioned a little fishing pole for my son to "fish" off the edge of their bed when he was about 2. My mom was bedridden and so my son would sit with her on the bed all day while I ran errands for my business. My dad would build him toy trucks and play games with him to keep him busy there so my mom could enjoy him. When my dad died and I was cleaning out the house, the little fishing pole was the VERY Last thing I found hidden in a cabinet up high beyond easy view. I had been experiencing pressure on my shoulder for 2 days prior to leaving the home forever - and as soon as the pole (and a gun, in another place) was found the pressure stopped. I knew at the time it was my dad. That pole meant a lot to him for the fun they shared.
Your message about the family was deeply felt and has brought me some peace and as time goes by, I am sure it will allow me to move on in a positve energy. I have been truly held back due to this family dynamic. My rother was 13 when I was born and my sister was 20. I workshipped my brother and didn't know my sister but always felt compared, and coming up lacking.
My dad's brother wrote a book (hardbacks) for each of the brothers that already passed. My dad's book has not been written. the last uncle is almost 90 so I suspect it may not be done. My uncles lead independent, creative, and very interesting lives.
My dog (Kerby) was one of the most painful goodbyes I had ever experienced. I always figured that she would be with my dad if he could find her when he crossed! He never had a dog, and enjoyed Kerby's visits very much. She was very special.
Your message about the baby with them was confirmation of my dream message. The dream was vivid and unlike a "dream" of my normal experience. I felt tremendous guilt for years over the decision made at a time when I could see no alternative due to the stress. I agonized over the choice with my mom as she had me when she was 42 and had a nervous breakdown and was unable to care for me as an infant.
Anyway, can't find the tattoo or the Irish relation yet, but time may reveal the links. You know, I did what you said not to do...Sat there while you said Mirian, Miriam...and all those members of the audience tried to find a tie. I knew who you were hearing from right away, just didn't believe it could be.
Yes, I will get my glasses and vision problem fixed! Its been a month working on contacts and the glasses are only to get me by. I think people fuss with their glasses anyway but this is a pronounced problem for me right now.
Can't remember everything that you told me, but trying to keep a list with me to add to over time. Thank you for sharing your gift and helping people who are on both sides have a moment together again, and for the promise of seeing them again.

Hi Lisa,
It's good to be able to finally read your blog again - have been SO busy over last few weeks (end of financial year work - yuk!) and have not had a chance to look at your site. It's good to see you are still having a ball travelling all over the place, having fun and helping so many people.
I must tell you this, cause I'm so excited -
It was my birthday on Saturday 1st August and for my (surprise) present, my husband has booked us to go on a Ghost Tour at the Quarantine Station in Manly, Sydney. It's something I've always wanted to do, so I can't wait. He has also booked me in to see the "resident" psychic medium there who takes you around, using all the spirit detecting devices. yeehar! bring it on!
(And of course, I'm still looking fwd to your show in Sept!!! :D :D )
Cheers!
Deb R :)
Hi my love, Sorry to hear about your charger! i am thrilled that you had a great time in Reno. I have never been th!ere but I have heard that its beautiful!, tonight is the night for you to shine here in Vegas! I am so looking forward to seeing you again! Can't wait my dear. I will be so glad to meet Kev for the first time and hopefully little Charlie!
Well, my love, I do hope that you are doing well and am not in too much pain from the surgery. Just take it easy my dear, and have a great time here How long are you going to be here? I'll ask you again tonight.
Love ya my sweet one, Mary
Well you are the original Energizer Bunny so it makes sense that nothing as minor as the loss of a battery charger would slow you down! ha ha.... you go girl. Have fun in Las Vegas, and safe travels home.
Hi Lisa,
I'm still reeling from my experience last night when you brought through my brother Michael and my dad. I can't believe how RIGHT ON you were with it all!! You described Michael's physical appearance and his lovely gay personality exactly. I am so happy to hear that he and my father made peace with each other on the other side, that is so comforting for my family to hear.
After thinking things through, I can relate to more of what you said to me. When you asked if we have just bought a new home, I think you were probably picking up on my son and his wife who did just buy a brand new home and spent last week moving in to it. I can't believe I didn't think of that last night. And when you asked who had the bad knee, my husband said that he did, but thinking later, you were probably talking about my other son who had just told us days before that his knee was giving him trouble and he was going to see someone about it.
I am so glad that I made the decision to buy the tickets to see you in Reno. I had not expected to be on the big screen talking about my family, but I loved every second! I am a believer and am so happy that you are sharing your gift with us.
Thank you for giving the message from Michael that I am doing a good job..... that hit close to home, and I knew that it was my brother saying it. Thank you!
We had a great time and hope to see your show again!! You are great!!

Hello Lisa,
I was in your Reno audience last night and it was my first experience with a show such as yours. At one point, you started a reading for a "Lucy". My Grandma's name was Lucille, but you didn't think the reading was for me and, instead, you worked on a reading for two women sitting next to each other a few rows behind me. I don't know if you recall, but at one point, you described that a husband of one of the women was emphatically referring to his driver's license in her back pocket and the woman was unable to relate to that statement. Next, you started to grab at your throat and claimed that someone had a tracheotomy. You appeared to be emphatic that this was of importance from the man to his wife, but she had difficulty relating.
Meanwhile, I was sitting in the front row, with my Mom's driver's license burning a hole in my pocket. She had also had a tracheotomy when she was alive. I wanted to speak up, but it seemed like you were sure this message was from the woman's husband. I'd already been passed over, so I didn't want to be beligerent by putting my hand in the air. I wasn't sure if you could have a message coming through for a third person who sat further away from those for whom you were already doing a reading.
I've done nothing but regret my failure to raise my hand and ask if it could have possibly been my Mom coming through last night. Like (I assume) most attendees last night, I was desperate to hear from my Mom. I quickly realized that I would never know if it was her or not. I wept for hours last night. It was like I'd lost her all over again - my one chance at hearing from her and I came up empty. She was once again beyond my grasp.
I appreciate what you do for people and I don't want to devalue the importance of those readings you gave. I just hope that anyone who plans to attend one of your appearances and reads this message would raise his/her hand if there is a chance their loved one is coming through. The worst you could say is no. I get to live with the torturous "what if" and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Hi Lisa,
I was in attendance at your Reno show last night. THANK YOU! I am a firm believer since I've had visions and dreams since I was very young myself. I know that not everyone is able to get a personal reading but if we all look within, the messages are there. I moved to CA in April for a job. Away from my family and struggling with decisions. Your message about someone coming a great distance to see you and needing to go home I believe is intertwined in a message for me. I have a feeling that will be soon and know that with all connections made last night that I am at ease knowing my Grandfather and others are helping guide me to and through the right paths.
You are truly and inspiration... thank you from the bottom of my heart and please continue your great work!
Much love and God Bless!

Hi ya Lisa,
We were at the show last night with no expectations but just to see ya live. You rock! No really! We enjoyed the show immensely. You are just beautiful and so funny. Witnessing you read in person well, the honor was all ours.
Thank you for stopping by Reno... hope you enjoyed the thunder and lightening storm!
Take care,
Stacey & Leslie
Lisa,
We were in Reno last night and had a great time! We had high hopes as we have both lost people dear to us, but being a part of the audience was such a touching experience as others got messages and you could see and feel their emotion. You are so funny and gifted and what you do is amazing! Thanks for a great show...we are sure you will rock in Vegas!
FYI lisa,
You mentioned last night in Reno that my father fiddled with his nose a lot. I didn't really think he did, but after talking with my mom....... she said YES, you nailed it exactly!! She said that he always started doing that as he was thinking about something.... drove her crazy!! Just wanted to let you know that you were right again. She sends her thanks to you. You're awesome & have fun in Vegas!

First of all I have to tell you that we thoroughly enjoyed the show in Reno. It was our first time to see you in person although we have been avid fans of your tv shows since the beginning.
We were sitting just off stage in the fourth row back last evening when you came to our section asked about "georgie porgie puddin' pie....". I knew immediately that my father had come through. I did raise my hand but you didn't see it and went to the ladies in the front row. It was ok. I knew my dad was there and didn't need a reading to feel his presence.
My fathers name was George and there were 4 of us girls that lived. You asked about about another that was in spirit. The first child born to my parents was also a girl that lived only a few hours before passing. You mentioned "construction." My father had spent his life in many different professions but had spent many years working on farms running all manner of equipment from backhoes to tractors to caterpillars....and on and on. He loved to build things with his hands and passed that on to me. I have over the past year remodeled a great deal our home and often joke that it is a construction zone. You mentioned the pennies to the lady in the middle section that you ultimately went to. After my dad passed in 1986 my mother took up walking with her friends (a luxury she was not afforded for the past 15 years he was alive as he had suffered many strokes). Not a day went by that she did not find pennies along the way and always remarked she would someday be rich...a penny at a time. I still find pennies all the time and each time I do I pick them up and say "this is for you, Mom." I have no doubt now that they were actually from him. You mentioned a hair dye. When my dad had his first stroke I was 18 years old. He was in terrible condition and very difficult for the professionals to work with in the first few months. He was stubborn and would not cooperate with any of them. Everyday I would take my mom to the hospital and we would spend the day with him. My dad would do anything I asked him to. He even walked for the first time after having me sit in his wheelchair (something he would not even try for the therapists). I teased him a couple of times a week about his hair turning gray and that I was going to dye it (and his beard as well). Later, when he was able to talk again, he would tease me in like about covering my gray hair with dye.
I totally agree with what you said last night about messages touching multiple people. My dad was there with my mom and two brothers as well. I could not see them. I could not hear them. I felt their love and presence and it was enough to know that they came.
Thank you
My 19 year old son, Nate, and I attended your show in Reno last night. I was just absolutely thrilled when I found out you were going to be in Reno!! I have watched every episode of your television show (several times!) and had always thought it would be so cool to get to see you; I never expected you would be in Northern Nevada!
My mother passed away almost two years ago; I don't need closure, I just miss her and was hoping she would stop by to say hi. However, my son and I do think she did a couple of times through other readings. Especially the one about a son having a tattoo. My son got a tattoo on his 18th birthday which was six months after my mom passed. She would not have been happy and would have definetly let him know it. . . .I think she did last night!
I was hoping that my boyfriend would attend the show last night with us but I can understand why he couldn't. His daughter died last year in a tragic car accident responding to a bomb threat in an outlying community of Reno; she was a Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper. They were extremely close and I thought it was be just so fantastic if she came through. He said it would have been too painful; I can understand his point of view but I also know how healing it could have been. Maybe we will be fortunate enough to see you again when he is ready.
My son and I were so touched by all of your readings last night. You have a amazing gift that you graciously share and I thank you for that. It was a pleasure to see you "up close and personal" and will always cherish that opportunity.
Have fun in Vegas but be sure and come back to Reno soon!

Dearest Lisa, I recently lost my father very suddenly, and am finding it impossible to accept/understand. I feel lost and confused, and the world makes no sense to me. I have also found your show. Having always been very interested in the afterlife, I am fascinated and love watching you do your readings. Wanting desperately to believe, and being skeptical at the same time is something I am sure many people struggle with after losing someone they love. My mind just cannot comprehend a world without my dad in it, and I don't know how to engage fully in my life without proof that he still exists somehow, and is ok. I need to know if there is something, or nothing. I do believe that some people do have a gift like you, but that there are also those who take advantage of people's pain. I feel in my heart that you are the real thing, and don't know how else to reach out to you than by writing to you here! I'm sure everyone in the world wants a reading with you, but I figured it was worth a try. I appreciate you reading this and possibly considering me for a reading at some time. Thank you for your inspiration and hope. You are a gift. much love, Deborah
Thank you for your wonderful energy, it was a blessed experience and so much fun.
Hey Lisa! Glad you had a great show! I can just hear the fun and enthusiasm in your blog. That's awesome. Hey, come back to Cleveland soon. Or I'll just have to tie you up, gag you and drag you over here, LOL!!!!!!!!!! Love you so much. Please come back to Cleveland!!! Have a great time in Vegas! Much love, and many hugs, Natalie/freespirit
Hi Lisa: It was so great to see you again in Reno. I wish I'd have known you liked to play Blackjack, I would have stayed and have a go with you. LOL I really enjoyed seeing you and getting the Lisa hug. What an amazing memory you have!! I know you meet thousands of people throughout the world and give so many readings so I was thrilled you recognized me and remembered my name. What a great show it was!! You were so great to give so much love and support to so many that really needed it. As always, you are amazing.
I think that one of the messages you gave at the end of the night that you had previously received might have been for me. You said you thought the name was Amy or something that sounded like Annie. My Dad always called me Annie and when it's said in Italian, it sounds almost like what you were trying to say. It has a different sound in Italian. Anyway, the message seemed to mean a lot to me as you said that I had just had a birthday, which I did on July 28th. I don't remember the rest but I know you will post it. I was thrilled to think it was my Dad. Thank you Lisa. I will take the message and know that it was for me.
You are an angel and I was thrilled to have had another chance to relay to you about the Ping Eye 2 golf clubs. It will always be the most amazing moment in my life when you brought my husband through for me in Sacramento.
Hope that Vegas was great also. Take care of yourself and don't overdo it. We love you too much to have you tire yourself out too much.
Much love and God Bless,
Anna
Lisa,
I just got home from seeing your show in Las Vegas. I really enjoyed it. Wish it could have lasted longer.
Even tho no one came through for me I did gather insight on what you were saying. No more will I ignore the pennies on the floor, and here I thought all those feathers floating around were from the nasty pigeons which we have in the neighborhood.
I have watched and enjoyed your tv show over the past couple of seasons and am sorry to hear that it won't be returning.
Am looking forward to receiving your newsletter.
Mary Mock
Dear Lisa,
We are so happy that you made it to Reno. I have been telling my husband for awhile now that we needed to see you live. You have such a warmth and love that radiates from you and it comes through the television screen and it was even more apparent when we met you.
We attended your show in Reno on Saturday 8/1/09. I was so excited to meet you and we were so delighted to receive such an enthusiasm welcome. We were the second couple in line for the meet and greet. You gave us such great hugs, took photos and signed our book and card. It was just amazing to meet you and I hope to see you again.
I have to tell you that after we talked with you and received that wonderful hug (you are so full of wonderful healing energy), we both felt so much lighter. I felt as if a weight had been lifted off me. Truly amazing! The great healing art of REIKII flows through you.
We were really hoping to connect with my mom and my husband's grandmother who both passed in August 2006. They passed on the same day, although, my mother was kept on life support until the following day in order for the rest of the family to get there to say their goodbyes. After thinking about it, I feel that my mother knows that we are doing well and I'm not convinced that she is still in Spirit. I am thinking that she may have been reincarnated already. My cousin just had a beautiful baby girl on Friday. It's been raining every day in New England for the last 6 or more weeks and not a single day has there been a rainbow outside my sister's (Godmother to newborn baby) door and on Friday, low and behold, a beautiful rainbow appears right outside the door. I haven't been able to communicate with my mother since about a year after her passing which seems to tell me she has moved on to the next part of her journey. I miss her terribly and sometimes it's really difficult. But we keep going. Life is about moving forward!
The readings you gave in Reno were spot on and I know you truly helped those people. I think I can take some of what you said for each person read and apply it to my life and what I've been thinking about.
Lisa, you are truly an amazing woman who helps people each and every day. My love to you, Kev, and Charlie. Keep up the great work and hope to be blessed by a personal reading some day.
Kim in Reno
