No wonder the world is in chaos! Mercury must have settled in a few days early, with crisis in Haiti and big challenges for each of us all around the world.

We all need to act, think, care for and love each other as ONE in these times when so many are suffering.

Keep us posted as to any special instructions/guidance you receive for us during this time!

Blessings to you

HI lisa
it seems no matter what time I am on twitter I am always one of the first to read your latest blog posts at the moment
As I am sure you know and I definitely do , sometimes the universe is not too subtle in making sure we listen , with constant prods louder and louder until we "get the message"
I know that Archangel Raphael the healer is by your side as he has been by mine , ensuring that your healing includes the very important time to yourself which is a very important part of the healing process.
take care and travel well

HI Lisa,

I'm proud of you. Really,... enough is enough. I just know the Energy has been wild. I could feel Haiti before it happened days..before. (S.Fl.)
But, when you are living with someone who is ill, & the other person has a tad lot of inky in them, holy moly sometimes you are not sure where the sways are coming from.
But, it was a lesson. If I feel that again...the earth will shake. 1+1...as I relate those "learning" lessons and then apply.
Have a better day tomorrow. Hugs to you and Charlie
ooo

I'm so happy for you Lisa. Good for you.

You sent this an hour ago, and an hour ago, i was standing my own ground, sticking to what i think is right, and standing up to people that I don't normally do.

Thank you for the 'sign' that i'm doing the right thing!!

Dear Lisa,

When I woke up this morning, after listening to you on Hay House Radio last night, one of the first things that I thought of was that I am going to google "Mercury in Retrograde" because, quite honestly, I do not have a clue what that means and I am very interested to find out.

I am so glad you are listening to your inner voice and standing up for your own cause. If you don't do that, there is a build up anyway, which is not healthy. The challenge for me, is always how to put that across to one's loved ones, without them taking offence. I tend to get very emotional, like I have Italian blood in me or something, so I really have to exercise control in that regard, and it is something that I consciously work at all the time, because it really is a challenge for me. I only in recent years learnt that it is okay to set boundaries and that I did not need to feel guilty about doing so. I just had to put it across in a loving and gentle way... easier said than done, but I am working on it and getting better.

You always give us something to think about and work towards. Thank you for that.
I am forever grateful.

Please send your healing energy to Haiti. I cannot even begin to relate to what they are going through right now.

Please also keep us posted on progress with donations for Jacqui. Lovely people, please remember that every little bit counts and adds up.

Love and hugs,
Jeanette

So glad you had that feeling of applause from the Universe as you stood your ground and took care of YOU and your needs!
It's like you can hear " we've been waiting for this", -isn't it?
Otherwise there is a lot going on in the sky at the moment and I have been reminded to do a world-peace and healing meditation on Friday.
We have to keep that light shining, inside and out as there is a Solar Eclipse on Friday the 15th of Jan.

Sending you and all the family Love and Light.

Hi Lisa,
Very interesting blog today, thank you so much. Over the past month or so, I have really been able to relate to what you write about and its been a tough month to say the least and today...wow spot on...
Sometimes we need to speak up for ourselves, and say whats on our mind..today I did that... for better or worse my thoughts are out there now, but I feel so much better for standing my ground and speaking my mind. You are a true inspiration Lisa...thank you so much
Hugs
Kyle

I think Mercury is always in my retrograde...lol..kidding..but i stand up for myself as politely as i can..Damn things is, no one really listens..hehe..Have to work on getting their attention perhaps?? Great Blog by the way!!! I'd love a Book, dedicated to all your Blogs....perhaps you might one day put them all into a book?? It would be like an encyclopedia on life...Love Stace.S XXX

What happens if you always try to be honest and air your views, but the person listening, doesn't really want to listen and they maybe take on what you have said for a short while, but then revert back to the same old ways? I don't know what to do and I wish someone would listen to me and help me.... tell me what I should do now.... xx

Saying no is empowering. I think healers and mediums by the nature of our work tend to give too much of ourselves away. It's almost expected of us. We cannot work to our full potential unless we stand up for ourselves. We need time and space to simply be. Cheers, Simon.

If we look deep inside ourselves, we know the answers to our questions. Our soul self knows what we need to do to make those positive changes to change our lives for the better and to grow and learn. All we need to do, is be honest with ourselves. What others think about us or how they treat us, is not important. It is what we think of ourselves that is important. We should love ourselves unconditionally and forgive ourselves when we err. As long as we learn and move on with positivity, that is the main thing.

Blessings,
Kate

Good for you!
I also had to stop one day, as I had given away so much to others over many years without being happy and well myself. So after my mother passed away 6 years ago I took a long break, rearrranged mye life, ended some one-way-relations and started to do it my way. Say to youreselves: It`s MY life, I can live it my way. I dont have to be mother Theresa or a boodisvada (I dont even have to be good or do the right things all the way) Enough is enough!

And to care for other people in the long term we also have to take good care on ourselves!

So congratulations Lisa! You schouldent in anyway fell bad about standing up for yourself! As I can see you`ve wrealy done a lot for others. Dont worry!

Hi Lisa,
Hope you are well!
I would say that yes, tact and diplomacy work much better than force. People tend to dig in their heels and instinctively want to do the opposite of what you wanted; so might as well go with the kinder and more positive approach and everyone one wins!
Be happy!
Love always,
Cheryl

Bonjour Lisa,

Great doing,
Refocus to center yourself about your needs.

In making that way you don't loose your energy and people around you are aware of your limits, and as you say: there are ways to say it.

Bye ;0)

Hey there Lisa,

Oh Yes, Mercury Retrograde has been messing with my head... well I have to blame it on something and it seems like a perfect excuse to be moody. :)

Good for you Lisa!!! It is better for you on many levels to express what you need, don't like, or even like. You must stand your ground and respect yourself just as you would others. You have a right to have an opinion too and it should be heard. Sometimes you have to be firm in order to get your point across and there is nothing wrong with that. It all depends who you are addressing. If someone does not respect your needs, then maybe it is time to say goodbye to that person or group. There are times we have to compromise ourselves in order to help someone, but that really should be short-lived as it can become unhealthy for both parties involved. Well, that is my humble take on it. Of course we don't have to go all Gordon Ramsay on someone LOL, but sometimes being a little assertive is warranted. Sorry but I just love that dude but he sure does take things to the extreme... a rather passionate guy that gets results. As for you, I bet your throat chakra will begin to balance out because you are expressing and not holding back.

Love and Hugs,
DS

I was always the shy type growing up, and I never said much of anything. Hard to believe I KNOW :) I would let people walk all over me and instead of speaking out, I held it in. As everyone know's it's not healthy to do that !!! But I took it, and I hurt alot on the inside, cause I couldnt ever bring myself to speak up.
Wasnt til I was in my early 20's and have already gone through a great deal in my life, that something happened, and I finally had enough !!! For the first time I took a stand and OMG it felt great. I realized I didnt have to take the crap that other's dished out to me, I had a voice and I used it. Of course... I still hold back alot with some cause I dont know how to approach them with certain things that I feel, and sometimes it is best for me personally !!!! Not everyone can take others opinioins or critisizm though, even if it is in a postiive way and they mean nothing by it !!!
I think it's great that you are speaking out :) People will know their boundaries with others when they are told...
I am still guilty of allowing people to step on me at times. Eventually they annoy and irk me and I realize that it's my fault cause if I voice what I feel, I know they would respect what I had to say and I wouldnt have to feel that way about them !!! There's a nice way of saying it, and if it still hurts that person, then I realize that it's their issue to deal with and not mine. I am learning this !!!!!
Always stay beautiful girl... inside and out !!! Great Blog
Hugs

Mercury's been a real ba453d this time around. It was unbelievable earlier this week (phones out, internet out, illness, more stuff I won't relate in this public forum). Adam was wise to postpone. I think it's wise we all take a deep breath and realize that - like turbulence on a plane - it's just a bumpy road and will pass. Everything is basically sound.

Or so I figured and then Haiti shook apart. Anything we have in our worlds that is off kilter here is nothing compared to what those poor people (and creatures) are enduring. So let us send them love.

Proceed carefully everyone! This too shall pass!

Dear Lisa
I took your advise on this note and boy everything fell into place
In just one week I got a Doctors appointment had x rays went to a specialist and have a date for my hip surgery in just 2 weeks.
I took your advise and am thinking of ME and only ME
I think my angels are truly with me and guiding me on the right track.
I have prayed to them and my prayers have been answered.
Warm hugs to you Lisa
I wish you so much love and happiness

Lisa,

I, too, had to look up what it meant for Mercury to be in retrograde. No wonder things were haywire for my fiance and me yesterday! We seemed to hit snags with everything we tried to accomplish. LOL.

I think it is great that you put you needs first for a change. I find that women in general don't do enough of that - we are conditioned to be all to everyone else in our families that we often don't give our needs priority. We need to be our best selves, and sometimes it means that in order to do that we need to consider and take care of our own needs first.

I agree wholeheartedly with you that it can be quite empowering and that one does not need to go over the top with it. It has also been my experience that people respect someone who establishes boundaries and ensures her needs are met. This does not at all mean that one need to be selfish, rather that one can be one's best self if one's needs are fulfilled and actually can be a bigger influence or help for others. Our children learn from us, and think of what a wonderful example you are setting for Charlie, too.

You are such a kind and generous person, and you give so much of yourself in the work that you do, that I will bet it becomes easy to lose yourself in the hustle and bustle of the daily routine. I think it is all about balance - yin and yang. It is a life-long lesson that I try to do better each day.

Warm thoughts and prayers for continued success are coming your way. Of course, I'm sending huge Hugs, too.
Love, Light, and Hugs,
Maria

Well that explains it lol Thanks Lisa <3

HI Lisa just to add to my earlier post , sometimes you dont have to do the big demonstrations to "speak up for yourself" sometimes it is enough to incorporate this action into our lives in a smaller way ..ie taking time at the end of a day to have time to yourself before plowing into email , saying no to the extra coffee at a friends because
it will keep you up at night ,

hopefully you are getting enough rest right now

light and love

how funny, i went to a group today and burst out crying cos all this stuff came to the surface and the main theme was that im not speaking up for myself. Then i come on here and see this blog. Inter connectedness :)

giving and agreeing constantly gets you nowhere and sometimes we just have to start saying no and concentrating on ourselves and our opinions for a little while to balance it again.

I am all inspired now to speak up lol. Mind you, i need my tooth ache to go away first - cant actually physically speak at the mo :P

Thanks LIsa, your blog confirmed this important msg for me.

Lisa,

You will probably crack up over this..... I was trying to dial in repeatedly yesterday hoping for a chance to talk with you about a recent death, and some questions I had.

Talk about the Mercury Factor..... after about 100 attempts to get through..finally the phone picked up..you started talking, then I heard another woman talking (all the while I am saying Hello, Hello....) I realized the phone system picked up two lines at the same time, your were talking with Susan or Sandra, and I'm out there hollering, "hey ..I'm here, can't you hear me..... , everyone at my office came running down to my space to see who I was yelling at......so I just hung on the line until you finished, then I started up again...hey..can't you hear me??? Then it was the end of the show..... just my luck Lisa! Mercury ...who would have figured ! Ha Ha!

Thanks, and take care,
Debi

Hi Lisa!
First i have to say that you should never stop helping people the way you do! I think it's great. I watch your show every sunday night here in Sweden!

My mother is a medium to, and she is also very, VERY good. But she refuses to do a reading of me. Maby it's because i'm her daugther.. :)

I just have to say that i think your great! It feels so real when you speak and i can't stop thinking how great you are when it comes to number and names! It's not many mediums that can say names and make it right the first time!

Anyways! I love your show and i hope you never stop! :)

Take care and have a nice day! / Jennifer, 18 years old, from Sweden!

Another perfectly timed blog from Lisa!! Ive been feeling the exact same way....taking care of myself was on the back burner. Its inevitable that would bite me in the arse! Its due time -- and I totally believe that the Universe responds.
