I Believe!
Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 06:41AM After a crazy 26 hours of traveling from LA I finally made it to Norway!!! Whoohoo... and what a place! I love Bergen, but I have a feeling that I am going to love the rest of the country too, and we are talking about coming back so that is going to be amazing!
My friend Denny came with me and we were chatting about life on the way over to Norway and how people change and how friends change. I haven't seen her for 2 years and we picked up where we left off as if I only saw her last week, it was so great.
She and I have both had big changes over the last 4 years and we started to talk about how people are in your life for seasons and reasons, and I know it's something that I talk about all the time but it highlighted it again for me. Some people will be in your life for a reason, for you to grow and maybe you are teaching them a lesson in their life and it's only a short term thing but it really can have an impact on your life. And then there are those that are there for a reason.
The reason, at the time is never clear and it's normally a longer relationship for you and they will change your life and make you realize things that you never thought of, and you will also do the same. And then there are those that stay in your life forever.
The ones that stay in your life forever are those who stand the test of time, and work through any issues that you may have and grow with you and they grow with you.
It's ok to move on and know this because if we don't grow and change and move through people in our lives, then how are we going to find the right people in our lives who will be there forever. I had to realize this with my own marriage last year, and it was hard but it was the right thing to do.
We never like to do it but it's about believing that you can do whatever you need to do.
Which brings me to something that since I have made changes in my life, it has opened a door with a friend who I may not have been connected to, if I hadn't have made changes. I have been working with Holly Riddel an incredible woman who has actually given me the strength and empowered me in so many ways. She has a line of rings that she had been working on for some years and when we met, which was a totally fated meeting, there are no coincidences, we just knew that we had met before in a past life and we HAD to do something together to help heal, empower and aid growth in people.
So we created the 'I believe' ring. And we have JUST launched this!!! I am so excited, and it's been a journey to get to this place, and in fact I wrote about it as there is a reason for this happening. Click here to read the story and of course if you wish to commit to change and start believing then you can get one from my site. click here for the 'I Believe' Ring
For me this was about letting go of the past and growing and moving forward and realizing that I can do things that I want to do and I BELIEVE in myself and others.
So sometimes we need that extra help to move on, sometimes someone has to show you the pathway, or give you a suggestion, sometimes you wake up with the inspiration, sometimes we put the intention out there to change. What ever it is, as long as you believe then you can achieve!
With love and remember to believe in you!!!

I believe in me and I believe in you too! I also believe that i'll buy your fabulous ring my dear!!
Hugs! xxx
Wishing you an abundance of success with your new adventure.
I too have people of reason and people of season. I love when people of reason "coincidentally" return for a visit as a reminder.
Cheers to you.

Hi my love,
Thanks for th most beautiful blog. Yes, we do have to believe in ourselves in order to
grow. isa, your ring is beautiful. The only problem is that the sizes are too small.
It only goes to size 8 and I am a size 9. I am sure that there are a lot of people out there that have bigger fingers also and would love to buy your ring. Is there a way in which you can get bigger sizes like a 9 or 10? It would be great if you could, then I would be able to get one; Thanks my love, I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Love you lots,
Mary
Thats so heard. To find the way, or someone to show me the way. And, I think it`s because I don`t belive in my self.
Thanks again for a great blog.
And welcome to Norway:) Love to have you here. Hope you will enjoy.
Hug Hilde
Bonjour Lisa,
You're so right! We have to learn to BELIEVE in ourselves. It does make a difference when we do believe and also listen to our inner voice. Answers and confirmations will come... and life will get easier. I KNOW it works!
Just LOVE your ring! Wonderful idea! :)
Hope to get it for Chistmas from Santa (hubby)!
Many thanks to you and your friend!
I do believe that the people I have met and crossed paths with in my life (every single one of them) have helped me develope into the person I am today :o) And I am still developing every single day from both old and new aquaintances, and am very greatful for it :o) There is nothing like getting the "A-ha!!" feeling just from a comment or a story or even just a hug, the clue is to believe that it actually happens and believe in yourself that you can grow from those "a-ha's" ;o))))
It was amazing seeing you yesterday in Bergen :-) You are just amazing. I hoped some of my lov3ed ones who has passed would show up, but it was not my time yesterday... I really hope you will come back to Norway next year.. but then you have to come to STAVANGER. Keep ut the good work, you are making a differense in life for me :-) Hugs Annette
Dear Lisa,
You inspired me to write to you with your thoughts on change and how we get through things.
I am a psychic medium, indigo and healer myself trying to grow a future and a small business. I am also slightly afraid of what I am capable of doing, meaning I am afraid of my own power. My guides show me spiders in my room and other rooms as a sign to not fear my own power but it is hard sometimes.
Recently this past May I blogged briefly about a mini vacation me and my boyfriend shared and how looking into the ocean made me feel strange. I then followed up saying how us here in Massachusetts were going to get a Hurricane and how there will be a big earthquake 7.0+ magnitude and something to do with Au like August or Australia. My energy got really heavy last week putting me in a little funky state because the hurricane I predicted was coming up the coast and on Friday we were hours away from getting hit with Hurricane Earl and while I was watching the weather channel they reported a 7.4 magnitude earthquake off the coast of New Zealand (which is next to Australia). I never felt such an energy shift in myself. I was blown away and finally I came to accept the happenings and predictions but when you mention change, all I can think of was that shift. 10 minutes after that report I settled and was calm. I felt like an elephant was lifted off of my shoulders and that things were okay now. It was amazing. It is nice to know you can express this to someone who knows what you are talking about. :)
(I am sorry this is so long) But I had to share that experience with you! It was just amazing but crazy at the same time. Usually I wouldn't share something like this but it felt necessary! Gotta love those guides...
I wish you much blessings and a fabulous tour! :) Your energy is great!
Lots of love and light,
Jess
Hi Lisa
Hope you enjoy your stay here in Norway!
I was in Grieghallen in Bergen yesterday and saw your show. And loved it!! Your gift is truly amazing, thank you for sharing it with us.
I was so happy when I heard you were coming to Norway, and even thoug I'm really scared of flying I had to jump on a plane to Bergen! ;) So I hope, next year, that you will come to Stavanger, then I won't have to fly...
Thank you again for a great experience last night in Grieghallen! :)
Lots of hugs, Ellen :)
Hey there Lisa,
Another great blog!!! SO, so very true!!! I understand and believe this more so now than ever before. It is amazing how people show up in our lives and take us in a direction when we feel a little lost or are just simply stuck. I am glad someone was there for you as you have been such a great support for so many others. You two beautiful women made an amazing ring that truly sends out a powerful healing message of empowerment and should definitely be proud of what you accomplished. I love the idea and I just might have to buy myself a gift soon. :) Why not? after all I am in a commited relationship with myself. :) Love it!
Love and Hugs,
DS

Hi Lisa,
Your story about the ring really got to me. It reminds me about my best friend from my childhood. How we moved across the country from each other, but still have contact and still love each other. This weekend we are going to meet in Tronheim and join your show on sunday. We are really looking forward to that. I'll hope you enjoy your stay in Norway and that all your shows are going well. My mother wishes that she could join us to the show, she has a lot of questions she should love to get answereds to. But sadly she couldnt go. Allthough she has made something she want to give you as a present, so I'll hope I'll get to give it to you.
Big hugs from Rita
LIsa,
A gr8 blog - I completeley agree that you meet certain people - very few and far between i feel who will be with you forever and you can just pick up with each other from where you left off, regardless of how often you see them. I am lucky enough to work with my best friend and no matter how much time we spend together we always have something to talk about and I know we will remain best friends always.
Take care - can't wait to see you in Birmingham x x
I saw you in Bergen, and I loved it. Even though none of my loved ones came through I was so happy for the ppl who got their messages. You are really wonderful Lisa, and count me in next time you visit Bergen!
Hugs from Veronica
You inspire and help many people believe. Meeting you and all the wonderful friends, with this family has started many changes in my own life, and quest in life to keep moving forward.... Sending many Thanks to You, and all the friends here who have supported and embraced the journey and common thread we share.. I believe...........
Life always finds a way, a path for us to discover..
A Friend to reconnect.. a new Friend to meet..
Us to discover through all these encounters..

Peace and Love
Lisa,
if you feel the presence of a dog in Trondheim on sunday, please find a way to let me know.. she was light golden/yellow/ white, and her name is Tinka..
Offcorse i have lost important people in my life too, and i miss them all, but i cant find any reason for them to want to contact me.. or, maybe one of them.. i dont know, maybe i just feel i dont deserve to get contacted by him, bjørnar is his name.. and i dont mean to be negative here...thats just how i feel.
My dog on the other hand..goosh, i wish i could feel her again, in àny type of form..nobody really knows how important she is and has been in my life.. to me she was just as important as what a human is to another.. so i really wonder, is she still with me? I try to feel her, but i can`t..or sometimes i thìnk i can, but really do not.. its sad not ever knowing where she is and if she is okay.. she went to soon..
I guess its highly unlikely that she shows up on sunday.. and if that will be the case - can you do me the favour, if you ever dò catch her, just tell her that i am sorry, that i miss her, and that i love her endlessly?.. come to think about it, dogs maybe dont aproach to you like humans do..? Eiither way, i never am empty of hope..
With this said, i welcome you to Norway Lisa!
I have spoken my prayers to do for a long time, hoping you would hear me in some way.. and now you are here. I cant really belive it.
I alsoo got my ticket to your show by an extreme luck, so maybe it is a meaning in it all too.. i hope so..and if not, im still greatful for the chance to see you!
I am sure that the show will be fantastic, and that alot of people will walk home with another peace in their heart!
Thank you for your eksistence, Lisa - you are really something else!
:-)
Greetings from Stefan
You are so very fortunate that your gifts have made themselves known to you. So many of us are still searching for our gifts and purpose. You are blessed, and are very kind to share those blessings with others.
It's a hard realization when it seems you were just a season to someone incredibly important to you and in your life, and you felt they were a reason and a forever for you,and that is what you still want to share with them,but they don't with you.
We sometimes make mistakes during that season period and because of that other person, we learned,grew and became a better person.
Learning from those mistakes and change that came with that season can be so hard, and you just want that person to give you another chance to see you pulled through, finally feel like yourself again, just improved upon as a result of that season. Most importantly are not the person you were for a period of time, because you learned and grew from the whole experience . That you are once again the person they first saw in you and grew to love and care for,before you had to go through YOUR lessons that they were apart of in some way, and inadvertently hurt during the process....and are embarrassed, apologetic, and on some level so disappointed in youself because of your actions... and those in your life at the time....that even though you would give anything for another chance...don't know if you could look that person in the eyes again,because of how embarrassed you are for your actions during that "growth season" but miss there friendship so much would be willing to face the embarrassment.
Does it mean that season will never come again, that you will never share a reason or a forever again with one another, even though before one of you went through a life changing event that took its toll on you for a time,leaving the other person to feel they had to" sever ties" with you....will the season, reason,forever,friendship never return,is the life path with that person just over...like you had your chance...you messed up to much...it's too late?
You have gone through that season, you learned, grew,changed, and found youself again. Emerged a better person,learning the lessons.
Deep down i'm still the same person that you connected & confided with, grew to love and care for...said the words you're important and i'm glad your my friend... can those words and feelings be for just a season,and disappear with the new season?
How do we know when it's to late,how do we know when to tell our heart to grieve the loss of someone whose friendship meant so much you still miss it everyday. Can you please expand on your blog or answer some of these questions. How and when do we know we should just give up and accept that the other person either can't move on from the mistakes and give you another chance, or that the words they shared with you about you being in their life for years down the road,don't hold the same meaning for you anylonger...how do i know when it's finally time to let go of the hope for the friendship to blossom again. When we've both been thru are own separate journeys, learning new things about ourselves, and accepting the new changes the universe has brought into our lives....what is the sign or word to look for, to know it is truly over and there is no chance i'll be invited back in.
Hi Lisa,
It not always easy to believe in yourself. Specail if poeple put you down all the time.
i do beleive that poeple are in your life because you learn from them and some more on and others don't.
i wish i could believe in myself and maybe one day i will.
Looking forward to seeing you in september in HUll
hugs
Me and my mother have wanted to see you for many years now.. We both have un-answered questions, and we have always wanted to see you live! I found out that you were in Trondheim today, and that all the tickets was out-sold.. Its a shame, we really wanted to go.. Hope there's a kind soul out there with two tickets for us! Anyway, I really belive in you, and hope you are doing fine!
Lots of love
Lena
Hi Lisa.
My daughter, husband, two sisters and me were in Bergen yesterday, we really enjoyed watching you on the stage..
The connection you had with the audience, all the love you have in you, it's wonderful too see.
Our beloved grandmother did'nt show, but I (we)know she's around, cause when my beautiful dog died, I could smell smoke all around the house everytime I was sad, and thought of him. (we don't smoke)
I really, really hope you'll come back to Norway, I'll be there, and so will the rest of my family.
Lot's of love.
Kaia
PS: I'm gonna check out your ring...
Lisa,
I love the " I Believe" ring. Perfect not only for it's symbolization and meaning but also it's right at the tip of the finger where you will always see it throughout your day. We all have our daily struggles as well as long term ones so what better thing to have at the finger tips as a reminder to constantly believe !!! Awesome awesome idea :)
As far as the " Seasons, Reasons, and Lifetime" saying. I love that I meet people an I love that they are a part of my life and I know now there is a reason they are in my life or have crossed my path for a period of time. But when it's time to let go, it's just time and I get that feeling when this happens, and I would rather embrass the pain and heartache and appreciate what was for that moment in my life, then to hold on and make things miserable for myself or them in turn. It comes down to free will I think. We choose who we want to be a part of our lives for whatever reason and sometimes people change, their feelings change their thoughts and beliefs change and they grow to branch out in different areas and meet different people etc.... It's easier to respect others choices and find exceptance in their choice then it is to hold on to hope of what may never be. Life can be funny that way... we think we know what is good for us and what we really truly want until we have no choice but to be without and after a while we realize that it was for something better to come along... but we may not of had that opportunity had we held on to what once was. Again, something I have learned the hard way.
Everyone that has been a part of my journey for a reason a season or a lifetime has had a part in making me who I am today... the good and the bad. I am greatful to many of them for coming into my life when they did. Some along the way were earth angels, there only to help me out through my toughest times and never seen or heard from again.
Life is about learning and growing and it's what we do til we take our last breathe. Lisa, you have been a reason in my life... you have had a huge impact on me and have taught me much about myself that I didnt want to see. You have also opened my eyes to see things in a way I never might have before ...
I am forever grateful that you came into my life when you did and that you have been a constant inspiration in my life ...through your classes, your blogs, your books, your radio shows, your t.v. shows, web chats, your tours..etc...I will always carry a fond memory of you on my own path if and when our time parts. I know that I will be a better person for having known you and following you throughout this moment on my journey.
Again... I love the ring :)

The rings are beautiful, Dear Heart, and I'm so happy and proud for you! And of course lots of good things start in San Diego! Ha ha ha ha ha.... including your upcoming cruise!
Woo hoo!
When you can, read Ty's thread over in Tranquility - it is a whole discussion of your ring, of intention manifesting into results through focus.... love it!
Thanks for always thinking of new tools and new things to help people!
