Thank you Lisa

Yes people are just people. Some times we think that people are rude, selfish or just mean but bottom line … they are just people pursuing what they think will make them happy.. They are people pursuing their own happiness. Typically taking care of their loved ones..

What a refreshing outlook you have Lisa! It's nice to know that even celebrities (like yourself) can be so down to earth and friendly.

I would still be nervous if I ever met you in person! ;-)

Have a Good night

Lisa

My dad use to tell me back in the day when I was into NKOTB, they are just like us. They put there pants on one leg at a time, JUST LIKE US! Oh, it drove me nuts when he'd say that! lololol

Hope you are having a GREAT holiday!!

((((((BIG HUGS))))) from MN!

yes, it's true we're all the same.

curious to note that when celebs seek the services of a medium, they're looking for the same answers and closure we all are. I can't think of anyone that would have me star-struck, tho. Not anyone alive, anyway.

I was nervous when I met Lisa Williams...not star struck *that's a totally differen't feeling* lol Part of me Is mad intimidated by her, and the other half is intrigued...I was also afraid that she'd be put off by my negative energy lol It's kind of funny, I personally hate being star struck...but whenever I get the chance to meet a musician I admire I tend to freeze up and loose my words. I guess that's better than screaming and invading someones personal bubble...can't stand when people take it that far. It's all quite amusing isn't it? <3 Roe

And Lisa, that is what everyone LOVES about you, that you are so down to earth, and admit to being just like the rest of us! You don't have your nose up in the air, not speaking to people, or not taking time to say hi to anyone. From what I hear of everyone that has met you you are just like a "neighbor" and how great is that?? And you do message people on your site and on twitter. You are just an all around terrific person! I met one of my favorite country music singers one time, Ty Herndon, and I was like OMG, I can't believe this, but after talking to him for a minute, he was just like anyone else. GORGEOUS, but just like anyone else. Very nice person. Met him at a truck stop when I went on trip with hubby in the truck, and his bus driver took me in the store to meet him, and we walked out of the truckstop together, and he was asking where all we got to go on the truck and just normal talk. Then he went on his bus, and brought out a picture, and personally autographed it for us. I was on cloud nine though! LOL

Hello sweet lady,
Yes, it is a bit strange how we all seem to get abit star-struck. I've read a few biographys about movie stars I admired and I must admit, I was alittle disappointed, as I found them alittle shallow. I was sorry that I read them as the "star-luster" had dimmed somewhat for me. The "real stars" are those of you who go out and make the world a better place for all of us. So In my eyes you shine like crazy, lisa.

Have you read," Tuesdays with Morrie"? I know it's been out for awhile but I just read it. If you haven't, I encourage you to read it. It is a true story about real people. It is a mans reflections on life while dying. I promise, you'll love it. It is a short book but soooooo powerful. wow.
All my Love,
Kim

I'd like to comment Lisa:

Maybe I am more a realist however, I view you as just a person.

What makes you so special is how you come across as available to anyone with love.

You are just another person and you do not hold yourself as something special.

And without realising it, and I have seen you at a show, I would'nt be nervous, I would be nervous with joy at being close to someone so much like me, who knows of Spiriit.

Love and validation. I view you like a loving and wise family member.

Words escape me , but you bring me so much and i love it that you are here alive with us and i can read your blog.

Drew

You are right, Lisa, people are people and we are all the same. However, when I met you, I was like you were when you met John Edward. I was blown away to meet you and to receive a Lisa hug. So we are all similar creatures. Just want to add I had a past lives regression today and I came out of it very disappointed. I never felt like I stopped using my concious mind. In fact I felt and still do feel foolish! I'll never find a solution for my Kelley's phobia and my itch. Depressing! :-(

No matter my mood though, I still give you a big hug too and my usual :-)

Steve

You are such a sweetheart and I must say I was so excited to meet you that I was a nervous wreck.. You were so kind, and you gave me a big hug which I will never forget.

People probably get nervous when they meet you because they are thinking,OMG, can she read my mind,OMG,is my ex- husbands mother who hates me is telling her my secrets.You are the unknown my dear and that to some can be nerve racking plus you are on tv and people do find what you do amazing . l am so excited as tonight the girls and l re-start our circle. l make it sound like we should be dancing naked whilst chanting. What we do is meditate and then chat really. No, every single lady in the group brings something fantastic to the session,knowledge,stories,experiences and advise. There is no judgement just a group of gals between the ages of mid 60s to early 30s who love what they do and want to make a difference. keep safe,have fun and me and the girls can't wait to see you in Melbourne.Hugs and Kisses Rach xoxo

Hey Lisa,

I just love the way you just say it the way it is with no BS attached! I really respect that about you. I totally agree... people are just people. We are all here on earth trying to figure out who the hell we are, why are we here, and where the hell we go when we leave this plane...celebrity or not...we are in this together. LOL

Enjoy your holiday time!

Lots of Hugs,
DreamSpirit

Hey Lovely Lisa,

Happy early 4th of July celebration to you and your family!!
Yes, we are all JUST THE SAME. You are very down to earth as I knew you would be when we met, in Nashville last year. ~thank you for that and the house issue I had.
I have always looked at people.."Famous" or not as the same. Yes, I want to look my best when I meet someone. I have found 98% of them are wonderful and friendly. If anyone is "up attee"...it's the team around them; that can give the non-celebrity a weird vibe. Hope this all makes sense. ;-)
Boy...it's been an Electricfying day for sure! Whew... Anyway that is so cute about you and John Edward. I loved to watch his shows and he is nice looking too!
He would be cool I believe to meet. I would stick up for him if anyone said anything negative about his show. So much to say..but it's not important. So I will close with thank you for being you. Hugs ooo

Hey Lisa,

I'm a bit behind on the last few blogs as my mother in law had to go to hospital suddenly, due to a blood clot on her lung (but she's going to be ok). Bit scary though, because that's how my father in law died! aah.

I'm with you on the "don't get celebrity crazy" thing. Particularly if the celeb is on personal leisure time, I think they should be left alone. I once saw Billy Joel and his (then) wife Christy Brinkley (and a body guard) in a large, expensive store in the city (in Sydney) while he was out here for an Australian tour. They must have felt so uncomfortable trying to shop with everyone staring at them, so I walked away and left them alone.
Popular celebrities probably have heaps more money than the rest of us, but we at least have the freedom to come and go anywhere without being driven nuts by annoying, (oops, I mean adoring) fans! lol

Have a great day everyone,
Deb R

P.S. Kim, I have read "Tuesdays with Morrie". Fantastic book - I cried my eyes out! :) Mitch Albom's other 2 books are amazing also. One is called "The 5 People You Meet in Heaven" and the other is "For One More Day". 5 People in Heaven is about a concept where on dying, the main character reconnects with the 5 most pivotal people in their life (deceased), where together they analyse the impact of their actions on others while they were alive. For one more day is about a guy who tries to commit suicide, but survives and immediately has an experience where he connects with his dead mother's spirit, who tells him a great deal and many truths about his life that he didn't know. Both books are worth reading and very thought provoking.

Anyway, that's enough from Deb's book club for now! lol
Bye,
from Deb R :D

That's great to have the attitude that you have Lisa, that's what makes you a great person & so unique.
I think it's a fabulous that you not only perform shows but do the meet & greet afterwards and give everyone the opportunity to meet you. I was quite nervous when I met you but after your huge hug & huge smile I dont know why I was. You treat everyone with such great respect.
Your energy is just fabulous :)

Lara Haidary

Hi Lisa! That's what we all love about you, your fabulous attitude, and the way you are so down to earth. You always write such inspiring blogs. You're the best! God Bless, and much love and hugs, Natalie/freespirit

I think its quite natural to admire & be awed by someone who has an amazing ability you yourself do not posses:) It's not a negative thing. Its a compliment!

Personally I love films of every genre. So, when I watch Meryl Streep turn herself into yet another incarnation, I am blown away by her ability. I can't act myself, so for me she is someone who has an ability that I can't imagine having & wish I had myself.

Ditto for Adele, who I love & who is down to earth like you Lisa & whose voice is just incredible. It seems to be almost effortless for her & she just gives me the chills when she sings. I guess its kind of like moths to the light. Some people seem incandescent.

That brings me to you Lisa. I've had experiences with spirits all my life, but I've seen only one. You see them all & you know about others lives by tapping into something I can only imagine. That blows me away! I don't have your ability. I may never. So, you are amazing to me, to all of us who blog here, even though you just feel human like the rest of us. I know for you it must be like inheriting your moms beautiful brown eyes or your dads curls. You just got what you got without asking. Most of us can only dream of being truly exceptional! So, we really admire all the exceptionally people out there!!!

I have to add that It's so refreshingly nice that you have such an incredible gift but feel so "normal." I think most of us who have watched you do, what you do, see you as something much more amazing than average. You are our John Edward. So, no matter what life brings you next, please don't ever change. We love you just as you are Lisa!!!!

Hello Lisa,
You are so right everyone is the same.
I'll be a little bit nervous when I meet you in October in Wellington.
I've also had a little bit experience with spirit. Will I should say since I was little. My parents didn't beleive me that I can feel things etc but now they beleive me with things that I'm saying etc.

Hi Lisa,
I had a dear family friend (now passed) who was not only Grant Wood's friend and secretary, but he was an aide to a Congressman and a speech writer to both JFK, and RFK. He was sought out by top political figures for his opinion, and was revered as an icon in politics and civil rights. One might have thought he would have been unapproachable because of his status in the world of DC politics, but he wasn't. This highly esteemed man would speak to a janitor with the same respect and care as he would speak with Ted Kennedy, or other political figure; he made no distinction. That was one of the things I admired the most about him.
He made me realise that the truly important people don't act like it.

Hugs,
Cheryl

When my sister and I met you for the first time, we decided you were so down-to-earth that you could have gotten in the car with us and driven back to Illinois...and we would have had a ball. You were so real and lovable and friendly and nice....and on & on....and we loved you immediately. I have now had 8 "Lisa hugs" and you haven't changed a bit. You are the most honest, real person I know. My husband and granddaughter got to meet you in Illinois recently and they both agree. You are the real deal, Lisa. Never change.
.................
Hope the trip is still a lot of fun and your memories will be good ones. We are keeping the lights on here in the states waiting for your safe return.
................
peace and hugs and much love to you & Kev & Charlie.....deb t/illinois

Hi Lisa

Celebrityhood seems to add a dimension to people. They're expected to know more than other people and be able to wave a magic wand to brighten up people's lives. The truth is often that celebrities have lost touch with reality and don't enjoy the simple pleasures of life. In fact anyone who is particularly successful at anything tends to grow an ego to match their achievements. So we're all likely to have our diva moments at some point.

Oh you are so right Lisa, it is great of you to remind this because indeed people are so interested in "peoples" everywhere... When I see these people in the subway reading these papers about celebrities, I always can't believe my eyes ! ;-)
Anyway, it is so true, some people have something to give to the world, something different sometimes but they're still like everybody, just human beings ;-)
Thank you for blogging again and thinking about us ;-)

Lots of love,

Lise

OK...so I have to share this so maybe it will leave my head... LOL ... The title of your blog sparked a Depeche Mode song in my head. Although the actual lyrics have nothing to do with the content of your blog, the title must have triggered it... funny how the mind works. I am sitting here at work and I suddenly feel like a travel machine sent me straight back to the 80s to a new wave dance club... too funny!

You're a a thousand percent right!
What annoys me is that because someone's in front of the camera, people seem to feel they have a right to details about you that they would never otherwise even dream of asking. You're entitled to your privacy - your family and friends too.
We love Lisa - lots - but we understand she is not only 'like us' but she too has feelings!
Hugs

It's funny when celebrities get star-struck! :-D I grew up around celebrities because my dad worked in TV, so I know they're just people - but quite a few of them also have some extra charm and charisma that would make them stand out in any situation.

I once read a scientific explanation of why we connect so strongly with celebrities - apart from our admiration of their product or artistic output, of course - but it turns out that parts of our brains are not really able to distinguish between people we see in our real lives and people we see on TV or the movie screen. If we see and hear a person repeatedly and they act as if we know them well by sharing their feelings (like in a movie or a TV-series), primitive parts of our brains believe that we really know them, the same way we know close friends or family members. That's why we have the feeling like we really know a celebrity that we have watched a lot - in spite of knowing with our conscious brain that we don't! No wonder we don't know how to act when we meet a celebrity, our feelings of a close friendship are fighting our intellectual knowledge of never having actually met!
