Things happen for a reason
Sunday, August 22, 2010 at 05:37AM It's amazing when you go through life how you sometimes don't have control in how situations plan out. We often imagine them to go one way and then they turn out to be something entirely different.
Charlie has been away for a long time now and I was looking forward to having him back earlier last week but sadly due to a situation he couldn't which meant my mom and dad, bless them had to come back over from Spain to take care of him. I'm not sure I would have known what to do otherwise. It wasn't planned and it was out of my control.
Over the last few weeks I had been craving time alone and so when this happened I knew that this was going to give me the time that I needed to be alone and sort some things out that I had been meaning to do. However the universe had a plan!!!!!!! Haha as always!!!!
Situations changed and my life was filled once again with people but again it wasn't something I could control they were situations that I had to be in, not because I couldn't say no but because somehow the universe had set them up. Bizarre really such as an incredible off the cuff meeting with someone who my manager introduced me too!!
When suddenly you get into situations that you didn't expect and you see things that are in your life from a different angle. Many of us don't like change but the change happens and when we face it it's hard. What it does is highlight this that are not right in your life and how things need to change and what needs to happen for you. It was a shocking eye opener in a way, but something i had known for some time but didn't want to face and admit. Funny really and I sit here having to face it because the universe showed me!!!
Not all of these situations are positive either but in a way if you look at them, they are because they are for your higher good so you have to appreciate that it is meant to be.
So when things present themselves to you sometimes we question it but if we allow it to be then we can see it for what it really is and it may be after the event but we see why it has happened.
So live in the moment knowing that you are in the right place at the right time and everything happens for a reason!
Much love and happiness to you all

Yes, Lisa, life is what happens when you're making other plans. We may want one thing but the Universe and spirit guide us in a different direction than anticipated for valuable life lessons and experiences.
Enjoy your quiet moments my friend and know that everything has a reason.
I'm looking forward to some away time with a trip to CA first week in October and can't wait. If you would like to grab lunch, please let me know. Would love to say hi. Can't wait to feel the wonderful CA sunshine.
Ask your angels to help you in every area....they're standing by waiting!
BIG hug to you sweetie.
Love,
Lori
Hello Lisa,
Hope all your ME time helps you cope with these situations and take it all with a grin directed at your Angels and the Universe. Do you really want to know everything about the PLAN? You love surprises, don't you? :)
Beside, Charlie knows he is loved by so many people. That's what is most important! Feeling truly loved by Mommy and all the important people in his life. And fortunately, we have Skype. So, enjoy your little talks together and then get the rest you need so much after such an excruciating year! And in a very short time, you'll have your wonderful boy hugging you for so long that it will make you forget these days without him.
See you soon in Québec!
Baby Bear HUGS to Lisa!
Your blogs are so timely :) I too was hoping for some me time as hubby has been over your way for the past 3 weeks,,, Not to be, ive spent the past 3 weeks looking after my dad sitting in hospital and being run off my feet. ive spent so much time in hospitals since the gold coast, however im just going with the flow and then appreciating the queit times... again hugs and love to you...xxx
Lis , I get some of this but can you give an example? Thanks!
What if someone has come along and tampered with anothers free will by casting a spell to cause 2 people who are meant to be togerher to split up.
I have been looking on your site the last few days to see if you had blogged but yesterday I was sooo busy after work that I never got round to checking and what happens . . . . .
you put on a blog at 5.37 this morning when I was in bed asleep!!! LOL ;-p
Hope you managed at least some 'me' time x x x
Hi Lisa,
Hope all is well with you, and with Charlie and your parents! It is difficult to accept things as out of our hands, because many of us like to be in such control that it is weird when we just have to give it up! I have been pretty good at making lemonade from the lemons, but accepting what I may perceive as defeat, is difficult! I usually have an alternate plan to circumvent the defeat, but sometimes a brick wall is all I may find at the end of the day! That is when I say, "okay, I've exhausted all my options; it's out of my hands now!" I am a fighter, but I also know when to say it is over.
I think it is resiliency that helps us get by. To be able to bounce back and go on is key. I think. If we can manage to get trough hard times and come out okay at the end, we can count it as a victory. We just have to adapt and move on. I keep thinking about losing my husband (drowning) and all the strange events that happened after that, (which even to this day boggles my ind as to how I survived!) If I were very superstitious, I would say that I had a curse placed upon me! So, after my husband died, and I was diagnosed with cancer, I lost all my money, because of bad investments, spending, a crooked investment company, and an even more crooked attorney! Phew! Well, then I lost my home, moved out into a place left by relatives, and am now embarking on new, strange health issues! I am getting weary, but each new day brings on a new attitude of strength and hope!
Those challenges have made me tougher, but also even more compassionate and understanding. I know that people cannot always control what happens to them, (and even bad choices are honest ones) and we must always look at another human being as someone who has suffered and lost, and may need a helping, understanding hand just to keep them going for another day. Hopefully, that new day will bring for them, renewed hope and the strength to go on and fight for better days ahead! We have so many chances in life, that we must accept defeat and go on, and invent for ourselves a new life in a different direction! It is awful to have hard times, but when they are over, and we have come out alive; it is a gift we must cherish and nurture; so we can honor life and our role in it!
Be well, and be very happy!
Hugs and love,
Cheryl

Thank you so much for this nice blog post, Lisa.
It's funny, as I was just thinking about this specific subject, lately. Ah! Coincidence? I think not. ;)
Take care and I can't wait to see you in Montreal, this week.
Thank you so much for the blog, Lisa.....perfect timing as always! Wishing you peace. xoxo
Hi Lisa.. Glad your parents could help with Charlie. They sound special. The most amazing thing to see is someone living in the moment during really hard and tough lessons.. when they live in the moment and view it as where they are meant to be. It is inspiring and I do think we soulfully connect more to ourselves through it, I can't tell you how people like that mean so much to me. I hope you do get that time you crave and that too will be good :) often when we sacrifice we do get so much back. Bless you in your week ahead with your new connection.
Love you
Hey there Lisa,
I absolutely know things happen for a reason and I am thankful that I sincerely do know and understand this on a deeper level. Honestly, if I didn't see this, I would remain quite depressed and unhappy. However, I will say that it does not make it any easier and sometimes makes it even harder with this awareness... it is downright frustrating at times. I know many things in my own life have changed, shocked, and pulled me out the hole I had been digging for myself and I only blame myself for creating that in my life. I had to own up to it, no matter how much I didn't want to. Although I am going through these crazy freaking emotional ups and downs, at least now I feel alive and I could see the road up ahead and will plan for more difficult road blocks/ obstacles. Each hill that you climb provides you with that inner strength to climb up the next hill that will be even higher. It is not always pleasant facing your own truth or facing shit that has been dormant or buried within you, but it is an opportunity to free yourself of these little demons that we all have and no one is exempt. I don't care how spiritual one is, as long as we are in the physical world, we all carry the good and bad stuff. The key is being truthful with ourselves and facing it head on when we are ready. Otherwise, if you keep ignoring stuff, you will be thrown against the wall like a crash dummy... yes I could relate to the crash dummy. ha ha It does not even matter what it is, but procrastinating or buring our own truth is toxic to our own well being. So if opportunity arrives to learn the lesson, no matter how hard, it is better to face it. You are right, sometimes the Universe throws it at us when we least expect it... but there is a reason. ... it is a lifelong journey of lessons. What a trip!!!
Be sure to take care of yourself always with love and light!
Love and hugs,
DS
