Thank you!

Over in the USA its thanksgiving which is a national holiday and even though we don't celebrate it, being English it's always a day that I love. I can understand why so many people love it, and it's their favorite holiday. 

To me, it represents a day of honoring those who I love, new and old, near or far. 

I have been blessed with so many amazing people in my life, and some I don't speak to all the time and then there are those that I talk to all the time. There are those that I have long late night conversations with and then there are others that are the quick calls to say, "hey how are you and what are you up too"... there are others that I chat too all the time via email and there are others that I send silly jokes too, but one thing is for sure the people who I have in my life I value and respect and I love. 

What I have found is that over the years, you attract people who are like you, the same energy, the same vibe, the same values... we don't always blend with everyone and that is normal, and you are only human. It used to amaze me when I was much younger how not all my friends got on with each other, and that was because I was showing a very different side of me to different people. But now, I am me... what you see is what you get, and all my friends get on. 

In fact I have a group of friends who have become closer since I have been gone... but I always seem to fit back into that mix when I get back. 

You also have friends who are like family to you... Of course I have Charlie... but then I have Mike and Jonesy and then Janey and Isaac... and a few others and they are like my family who I love so much. 

So today while I was walking around the famous and fabulous Epcot Center in Disney World I was pondering on this. But then it made me look beyond this... not only to my friends and family who I love very much but then to everyone else who has supported me. 

I used to listen to artists, years ago, who used to say that they loved their fans, and question it... "well how can you love your fans when you don't know them personally?" was what I would say. And I never really understood it. However today standing in line for the Test Track Ride... I understood. 

I have many people who are fans of my work and of myself, and who have supported what I do, and then I have the extended family members on my site, and many people I have met personally after the shows that I do, and I can 'hand on heart' say, that I love every single one of you... because you have supported me, and my work through out everything and I honestly would not be here writing this today or openly saying I am a Medium, if it wasn't for you... 

So today I am giving thanks to everyone who has made an impact in my life, no matter how big or small, and yes that even means you if you are reading this...

But most of all, to my wonderful, beautiful, grown up little boy who I am so proud off, who has developed the strength and the courage to learn his own lessons in life and who has shown me the pathway to being a better person. (Oh and plus he has grammatically corrected half of this blog too!) 

Thank you to all of you. 

Much love

Lisa xx

Great blog Lisa. And thank you to you for all that you do for everyone that you come in contact with. You have made a difference for so many people. Just by being you, the nice and caring person that you are. Of course many of us from your site show a little favoritism(LOL) but you know how that is. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. And hello to Charlie too!!!!

Dear Lisa, today my hubby has gone for the one year anniversary memorial for remembering Mumbai. There was a guy who lost his young wife. So I was very deep in thought about those events that took place one year ago today. I did not go for the memorial. So I came over here to say hi.

Lisa, there are many people that I have not met in my life. But I have grown to like them because of their words, the way they write and the stories that they tell me. I learn from their stories. I may not get to meet them in person but I remember them and the words that they share.

Sometimes I question a lot of things that I read. But I have been trained that way as a literature analyst. But questioning does not always bring a person happiness. Sometimes it feels like it is more important to feel at peace and be happy.

I remember a lot of things about you and i like you even though I have never met you. When I read your book and about stuff that you go through, stuff like hurt tummy and suffering pain and having to be rushed to the hospital. All those things make me feel a bond with you. Maybe because I have gone through a lot of stuff like that. I would think to myself 'Poor girl, she handles all this with quiet strengh and keeps all her feelings to herself'.

I am a younger person but I still admire that courage with which you handle obstacles in your life, Lisa. I was just saying to hubby yesterday that some people have smooth lives and some people have very rough paths but for going through the rough paths they get rewarded in the end.
Mine was often a rough path. When I did shopping for example, half my shopping has gone missing in the mail/shipping. I always think 'Why me?'
Sometimes I just get exhausted from trying so hard.

But you are beautiful. You try to be happy and you make that choice to be positive. It is very good to be that way, Lisa. I am thankful that you are here.
In real life, mine is a more melancholy, brooding and quiet personaility.
Happy Thanksgiving. :-) :-)

Lisa dear, I was just reading the other day about an article that says that decorating the home for the festive season brings positive energy into the house. So I will be bringing out my little Christmas tree soon and start making the home more festive. Have many happy day ahead. Have fun with Charlie. :-)

the only thing I can say: THANK YOU LISA!
You are so wonderful in every way...

" Manche Leute haben schon Engel gefunden,
ich fand dich! Du berührst das tiefste Innere
meines Herzens und meiner Seele so sehr...
Der Platz in beiden ist dir sicher!"

Dearest Lisa,

What a beautiful blog... thank you so much for your kind and loving message. I will take it to heart and receive it in the way that it is meant. As one of your ardent fans, I would like to say that I am so proud and blessed to be a part of this wonderful family. We also don't celebrate Thanksgiving in South Africa but I also feel it is a beautiful tradition as we should all take time to say thank you for all our blessings and loved ones that we have in our lives. I also feel incredibly blessed to have discovered this wonderful website and everything that it has brought into my life.

As for Charlie... it sounds so cute that he corrects your grammar... lol. Children seem to be so much more clever these days. If there is one time I swell with pride and boundless love, it is when I think of my three beautiful grandchildren. They have brought me joy that I never thought was possible and I savour every moment I spend with them. I found out recently that my eldest grandson, Stephen, who is 12, has been elected prefect for his final year of primary school, and both Daniel, who is nearly 10, and stubborn little Jessiebelle, who is 7, came first in their classes. I like to think that the abundant love that they receive both from their parents and their grandparents have played a role in them becoming such well-rounded children. I just love them so much and would gladly give my life for any one of them. I must also say I am enormously proud of Donna for being such an awesome mom.

So to children all over the world... bless you and may you grow into adults that know how to make the world a better place.

Hugs and blessings to all,
Jeanette

Dear Lisa
You come across with such sincerity of heart. Some might say those words and not mean them with the same depth of feeling.
I really feel that you reach out to us, and that means a lot because we really love you!

Hi Lisa,

Support is everything.

And like i said to you before, I consider you like a NORMAL person…ok with special skills…but there are reasons for this and the impact of those skills is to help people to move on in their lives and to ease their pain.

So you choose to help people and the most we can do as readers of your blog, or being a LWEF member, being a close or far away friend….doesn’t matter as long you get support and say Hello in return from time to time.

So from myself,

Hats off for what you are Lisa,

Chapeau Madame! ;0)

I just wanted to say that was a beautiful blog. You really do inspire strength in people. I dont know if you read on the LWEF message board about me having to have the hysterectomy. Well I read you book and once again you have inspired me to believe that this will be ok. I give thanks for the life I have, my wonderful children and my friends that support me when I need them. I also give thanks for the day I stumbled upon your show, it was ment to be I believe because I was so down at that point...

Thanks just for being you my friend

With Love Kate xx

Gotta love it when they can correct you!! :) wait till he gets older like mine and they begin teaching you the ways of "their world" now.... :)

Have a great time!!

You're lucky to have so many people in your life like you do! For some reason I've just never really had any true friends. I got lucky with meeting Mike ... cause he is truly the only person who has really stood by me and felt true to me. I think in this lifetime I must just be meant to be a loner when it comes to friends. I just don't feel that connection with hardly anyone =(. And people just don't generally feel it with me either I guess.
I'm getting ready to take a big chance on some things. I'm quitting my job and traveling as a nurse. Please wish me luck. I feel nervous, worried, lonely, excited, negative, optimistic ... a little bit of everything at once. And I have so much to think of in this next month .. so please send me some energy!
Anyway, I hope to see a show of yours soon.

Hi Lisa, Many Thanks for saying all those wonderful things. I have met you in a meet and greet line and it was great, months later you are still giving me strength and encouragement without even knowing it. I had the card that you you sign put in a small frame and the frame has a purple glittery butterfly, you used a purple butterfly at your 1st show in Sydney in April this year. Have a great time at Disney World with Charlie.

November 27, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTherese

Oh Lisa, this is so moving, thank you for saying these words. Well, I think we are all very touched, I am and I thank YOU for being a part of our lives, a support and a pure source of energy.
I'm still reading your book, and I love it and it's funny because I was thinking about what brings people together and how birds of a feather flock together ( I love this expression, it's so much more beautiful than the french one) and I was observing the same thing: I have many different friends who are different in many ways and who don't necessarily get on but more and more, I know who I am the most natural with and who are my real friends.
There is a reason for everything...
Well, I hope Mickey was alright ;-)

Have a great day !

Lots of love ;-)

Dear Lisa, today I heard about a guy who lost his wife in a tragic way. He has become bitter and angry after carrying the rage within him for one year. That changed the way that I look at my life. He is a very rich guy and doing very well in life but the one person that he wants (his wife) is gone for ever.
This makes me look at my own partner in a different way. I give thanks for my partner. If I loose other things in life, it is alright. But a partner is very precious. I am learning to appreciate my partner.

Lisa, whenever you write about your friends, it gets me thinking. You are lucky. I know alot of people who are unlucky with friendships. Sometimes if there are three friends in the group, one gets jealous and tries to split the other two. It is hard to find good friends. And when you do find them, cherish them because they are a blessing.

It is lovely to be surrounded by people who care for you. Lisa, sometimes if you do not respond to people, they will not know what you are thinking or whether you care. I know that you have your reasons. So nevermind.

Lisa, even if your fans were not here you would still be a medium. And that is because you are very gifted. People would have always supported you and looked for you.

I don't usually look at a person with awe. I am more of a direct person. But I do see the goodness in people. I used to feel empty when I came to this website. I could not figure out why. Then one day I realised that even if a person has a problem or is in pain, it feels like noone notices it or responds. But then I got used to it. It would be nice if you could respond back directly from time to time. But it does not matter. :-) :-)
