Ask and an Angel will find you!
Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 01:33PM One of the hardest lesson that I have had to learn is to ask for help. It's not something that I am good at, I never have been and I am sure that many who read this will be able to resonate with this also. I used to see it as failure, failure that I couldn't take care of something my self when actually it was my responsibility.
However over a period of time, I realized it was also my responsibility to look after myself and know that I am not super woman, or the 'Energizer Bunny' as many people refer to me. I have my human moments like this morning when I woke up and really the best thing for me to do was to go back to bed, and so I did. I am sure, the Dogs, Charlie and Ima are very thankful I did too... the grumpy grots mood disappeared! haha
But I had an email from a friend of mine, who made out that everything was great in her life and that she was fine and handling life ok, to some people but reality hit, and I had the email telling me the truth. If I wasn't heading off to Australia I would be on a flight right now to her, but I couldn't.
She refused the help... point blank, but she knows me so well, and has been on the receiving end of me saying NO and it's not a pretty sight, especially at 3am in the morning when I am chasing after her in my undies as she is sneaking away with a computer that she made me ban from her. Trust me... I can say no for other people!!! haha
Anyway, finally she said she needed help and that was it... The Angel help is on it's way... in the way of my mother! My mother is someone you do not want to get on the wrong side of... trust me when I say that! But she is also one of the most giving people I know and would help anyone out in any given situation whether she likes you or not. And she does all of it with a smile on her face and to the best of her ability. She is simply amazing and I have often called her one of life's Earth Angels as she comes to the rescue whenever you need her, and she is coming to the rescue of my dear crazy friend who needs her.
My friend had to learn the lesson to ask for help and I too had to ask my my mom's help today to help out my friend and I didn't have any doubt what the answer would be. I knew that she would be there with bells on. But the funny thing is, that I sent the email to her saying that help was on it's way, at 11:11 which meant to me that the Angels were playing a part in all of this.
Crazy!!! I know my friend is going to think I am C.R.A.Z.Y if she reads this as she thinks I am a nutter that I speak to dead people anyway... so I laugh at her!!! haha
So we have to know that sometimes even though you don't want to ask for help or open yourself up to admit actually you can't cope and you need someone to be there for you, you are opening yourself up in a vunerable way, which is not bad, because you find strength in your weaknesses and you realize that yes you need the help, but also you are strong enough to ASK. And when you ask the most amazing thing happens an angel will always come your way, a sign will be put in your path, and you will be given help in the way that you need it. But you just have to open up and ASK.
Just a little thought for a Sunday afternoon.
Oh and another thought... never do yoga with a 10 year old boy, who wants to turn it into some jedi yoda practice, and expects you to have the power to elevate a pillow with your mind, and will not take no for an answer!!! hahaha
Much love

l always call on my angels,living and the ones up above. It took me a long time to learn how to ask for help as l thought it was a sign of weakness and l also felt guilty . l am pretty sure my angels have had moments of wanting to bang their heads against a brick wall. Living and heavenly.lol Love Racca xoxox
I know a lot of people think of you as an angel also!!! :0) Me included!
Hello Lisa, your blog relates to me today because I am always one so willing to help others and don't like to ask anyone to help me and I could use it so bad right now as my back is doing so badly but I feel like I am always putting people out when I have to ask them to do something for me because I cannot and know that normally I can so very frustrating. Sooooo, I will try (for you) to ask for more help and accept it graciously because I have many friends that will be more than willing to do that. Thanks for your inspiriation again. Also, if 1111 means angels, what does 555 all the time mean???
Love & Hugs, Judi :)
Thanks so much for that. I forget to ask for help. Well try to do just that. Best Wishes to you and yours.
Great blog Lisa...I am glad she asked for your help, I know how hard it is to do, especially when you are the one who always tries to help others and you think you should be then able to cope with your own worries etc. , so a great reminder for us all...
Our kids, what would we do without them...they make us laugh and cry !!! Lolol

Judi - according to Doreen Virtue's "Angel Numbers" book, 555 means...
"Major changes and significant transformations are here for you. You have an opportunity to beak out of the chrysalis and uncover the amazing life you truly deserve".
Hope this gives you some insight - and good luck with asking for help - you and your back deserve it :-)
Thank you Lisa....an oh so subtle & kick in the pants reminder....hee hee. Angels are everywhere in our time of need. They come in all forms, shapes & sizes....believers or not....thanks. Ive been MIA on your blog, for many reasons of my own stuff....but always feel so connected, when I read your words! You are loved....many blessings in your travels ahead. You are human. And that is in itself a comfort. lol, xoxoxoxo
Great blog Lisa......I'm pleased that your friend has asked for help.
I don't really like to ask for help but sometimes I just have to.
Dear Lisa,
All I can say, is that you must be a very special friend to have in one's life, and I am sure your friend really appreciates having you in hers. It is so great of you to contact your mom and ask her to step in to help when you are unable to be there, and also so wonderful to have the kind of mom that would step in when asked. You are very blessed to have the kind of mom that would do that for you.
It sounds like you and Charlie have such an awesome relationship. I would love to be a fly on the wall watching the two of you doing the yoga thing together, especially with the sense of humour that you have. I miss seeing your TV show where we could get a glimpse of Charlie each morning before the start of your work day. I still remember his "eeuuww" when you tried to give him the breakfast you had made for him... LOL. In fact, when I use that word, for some reason I think of Charlie saying it. I am assuming that your kitchen abilities have improved since then as I am sure, once you accepted that you needed to do some cooking, that you were perfectly capable!
Have an awesome, awesome time in Australia.
Hugs,
Jeanette
Hi Lisa,
Your comments about doing yoga with Charlie are funny. I'm sure you must get many requests for you utilize your for lack of a better word SuperNautural gifts.....
It is hard to reach out for help, i'Im sure your close friend is relieved that she did reach out or you just knew she needed and angel..
Your words carry thoughts of inpiration in many people's lives, They have angel wings too, reaching many who need them.
Have a great day,
Terry
Hi Lisa, I dont know how you do it you are so busy and yet you find the time to write, take care of your son and your friends. What do you do to relax? You are a super woman, a super mom and super friend, thanks for being there for all of us.
And I cant wait to see you in Montreal I am just so excited to go see your show that is if I can get a hold of tickets I really have to connect with someone very dear to me hope you have a nice week. Take care love you lots. Caroline from Granby, Québec xxxx
Your blogs are always so incredible: spiritual message with a feeling of everyday-ness and love. Which is what it's all about. Thanks, Lisa, for another inspiring message.
Hello Lisa:)
Again your blog is wonderfull, and it speaks right to my heart. Yes, its heard to ask for help. And woman special- me too:) I think your friend is lucky to have you:) Hope you take care of your self! With a family and shows and friend it must be hard sometimes:)
I learn everyday since I take care of others in my work, that sometimes I have to ask my friends and angels for help. But its hard. You wont to take care off it self:)
Have a good week, and good luck on your shows

Hi Lisa, Glad your grumpies are going bye bye! Your blog was interesting as usual and I am at a point where I may need to ask for help (given the lack of jobs out there) so your blog has helped me some today. I'm glad your friend is getting help, too. One other thing is the 11:11 phenomena. If you remember, that number comes up for me so many times..uncanny, isn't it? Why is that? Anyway, glad you are doing better and hope to hear from you soon. Big Hugs!!
Steve :-)
Dear Lisa, thank you for blogging again. It's true it's so important to show our weaknesses. And I think it's essential to have long conversations with close friends or people who come our way. It helps us understanding ourselves. It's also important to argue with friends sometimes. Things are never black or white..
Oh I know what it is to get up and be in a bad mood, it looks like everything annoys me...
I hope the jedi yoga course wasn't too exhausting ;-)
Have a good day Lisa !
Love,
Lise
"There must be an Angel playing with my heart" Yeah you zoomed in again with a timely message. And yes I am one of those nutters ..I understand. *smile*
Thank you Lisa!
Much Love & Hugs,
Andrea
Dear Lisa,
I usually try to get my messages across to you, and anyone else who is reading these blogs, through my poems - subtle ways to let people know they are not alone. Our loved ones are always there with us until we pass on. I believe that when we pass on, while we have a spiritual connection to someone on earth, we stay around until we move on together into the afterlife. I also believe there is a ton of evidence to support this. Your accounts of spirit presences, and the kinds of messages they want to get across to their loved ones, also supports this - they mostly seem to want people to know they are ok, or to know how they felt when they passed/or why they passed. It seems important to them to put closure, as well as for us to know these things inorder for us to move on with our lives here.
I am concerned about you thougn!!! Since your break up you seem to be placing your energies into helping others as a means to avoiding facing your own emotional needs. People can look after themselves, if they really have to - sometimes they liike the attention and dependency of others - more than they need! You have so much energy to give others (spiritual as well as physical) that they will drain you, if you're not careful.
Have a great trip to OZ! See you in Brisbane - my gorgeous children are busily making you stories - so make sure there is room in your suitcase for 20 beautifully written and creatively illustrated stories of their lives in Bulli.

I need an angel!
You are an amazing person. I have only just discovered your program and already it has given me so much peace. I will unfortunately miss your upcoming trip here to Australia but I do hope you have time to stop and "smell the eucalyptus" while you are here. It sounds like you are a very caring person who needs to take care of herself too!

Hi Lisa,
Your Mum sounds great. How good you must feel entrusting your friend with your Mum. I don't think Yoga and 10 year old boys go together somehow but sounds like you two had some fun did the dogs join your game.
Hi Lisa!
at first sorry my bad english.i'm not good but i try say what i think.
I'm from Finland and i have watch your show. Your program coming every tuesday evening. You are SOOOO good.. brilliand.. and how ordinary that thing is to you.

Even if i belive everything what it is there the other side i afraid of. but i'm get be in peace...finally. my mom is healer,i have get that gift to but.. because i afraid, i don't want to do with that.
I hope that some day i meet person like you.. ou i have sou many questons how the things goes "there". and i miss so much one woman,would be wonderful get connection to her.
All the best for you for a job and life.

Hi
Today I asked for help...twice...and it was one of the hardest things for me to do. Oh how pride can mask itself as "being responsible". It was my ego that didn't want to ask. Your message was the confirmation that asking for help was the right thing to do. Now if only I could let go..... :)
Thank you.
Amy
Lisa Ithought you were speaking to me directly as I often need help and am always the giver and never the receiver. This is totally my own fault! It is my protective armour - if I fix everyone else I'm not listening to my own angels! So that is why I am at the Gold Coast waiting for you to arrive Lisa so that you can share some of your wisdom so I can understand and tune in a little better. Can't wait. Love MEM
Hi Lisa !
I have the same kind of mum, and I wish I'll have a jedi kid on my own ;)
I'm disapointed : You can't move a pillow with your mind ? Oh no !!! Ôô !
Thank you for the member card and the crystal anyway, we'll talk about the pillow in the meet and greet in Montréal (The universe will find me the money for the plane ticket, I'm coming from France for my birthday with my spiritual guide Raymond in my pocket ! lol)
Love and light ;)
