Learning and growth from those in our life!
Monday, January 4, 2010 at 11:51PM Well I just want to thank everyone who commented on my last blog and also Suzanna for her poem and How C gal and Jeanette helped others with their comments and this is why I love what I do, it brings people together!
Sometimes in life we do things and we don't know why, but our actions are important and we have to act, or go to a website, or go to the store at a particular time. We don't know why but we have to act on our instincts. It happens to me all the time.
I sometimes just have the urge to email someone and suddenly they need to hear what i am saying. Thats is because we have to connect with someone to help them through their pain, to give them advice or support. and having my blog and my members site I have realized this and I am so blessed to have every one pulling together through times of need and support.
People come in to our lives at certain points in our life, but never put it down to coincidence because it's not, there is a contract that we are fulfilling, its a contract that we set up before we came to the earthplane. We were sent to help people and they were sent to help us.
Sometimes they come for a reason and they are only in your life for a short period of time, and then there are others who come in for longer. I have a friend of mine who I met over 3 years ago and when we met and I read for her, and we both said, that we have come in to each others lives for a reason, and we didn't know why. She has become like a mother to me, and recently we have discovered one of the many reasons why were are together. She is supporting me through my separation and I am helping her heal of the cancer that she has just been diagnosed with. I am sure there are other reasons why we have been pushed together but this one was very apparent.
I have also just discovered another contract with someone else who I met over 2 years ago and it's only recently that that person have become more important and that connection is really powerful and something you can't ignore. I discovered the connection through meditation years ago, even before I moved over to the US, and when I saw them, I just knew that that was the person that was in my meditation years before. it's incredible.
We are all in each others lives for a reason. You can sit forever trying to work out the reason why, and thats when you drive yourself bonkers... you have to live your life as friends and see what develops and it's only as you life your life do you stumble across the reason why you two are connected. Incredible really... but also wouldn't life be so boring if we knew it all and who we were supposed to be connected too.
We have to value people who are in our lives and honor them for who they are and what they are, they may be hurting you, but that is their reason for them to be in your life, to help you grow and be stronger and to ensure that it doesn't happen again. And you are in their life to show them a different pathway, a pathway of harmony. It's hard to see it but it's true, and that is what I said at the end of my blog last time, through the pain we find love.
So value those you have in your life and honor them, each and every one of them have been put there for a reason to help you in some way and likewise you are helping them. It's an amazing journey when you see it that way.
I know many of you follow my blogs and wake up to them, and I have decided that I will continue to blog throughout 2010 but I may not blog every night, because I figured that quality was better than quantity... and sometimes there isn't always something inspirational to say... I may have just had a day where it's been normal and I have vegged out in front of the TV.... very rare but hey it might happen one day! haha...
also if you leave them up longer more people get to see them and I feel that you read what you are meant to read at that particular time in your life. So I am not deserting you by any means, but now being a single mother with a book deadline looming... my blogs may not be daily.
I will of course share my life with you, because thats the type of person I am... very open, and I am sure that you will be with me on my quest through life, love and happiness... which of course will come with some downfalls, but I am so blessed to have so many people who read them and who can relate to them, and that is the reason why I have continued to do them for as long as I have. I thank you all for the support that you have given me in my journey.
have a beautiful day and be happy!
Love
Lisa xx

Dear Lisa ,
There is a book that might help you it is called "The Art of extreme self care" by Cheryl Richardson.Bye Lisa Take Care.
I sit here watching a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis , taking its first new steps unsure of its self , looking around checking out its new world ,
we all know the butterfly is beautiful , it just needs to unfold its wings and take flight
Lisa , as a single mom myself who has been through some amazing times , my heart is there for you.
take flight your wings are there and your flight will be amazing
best wishes and may you find amazing new heights
Aw, Lisa, you are so incredible... do you know that!! Thank you for your acknowledgement, it means the world to me, and I am just so glad to be able to respond to people when my intuition and my heart tells me to do so, and it usually just feels like the most natural thing to do anyway, so I feel very blessed to be able to help people in however small a way anyway. It actually crossed my mind yesterday, that you were not blogging quite as regularly as normal, but then I also figured, that in some ways, that is a good thing, because it opens channels for more dialogue between members and so allows those people who need to communicate, to do so. Comments were flying left, right and centre in the last blog, it was awesome. As long as you are there to fuel the fire, that is the main thing, so don't leave us to our own devices for too long because we will miss you.
I wish you so much love and blessings in your new venture as a single mom. I know it won't be easy, but there are times when only a child can give you a certain kind of joy, so at least you will be around more for Charlie's growing up, which is a wonderful thing. Also, spending more time at home will allow you to enjoy your piano and singing again, so that's another huge blessing. On the kitchen front, oh dear, now that's another thing altogether... lol. The best advice I can give you, is cook lots of casseroles. You can either throw everything straight into a dish, add some stock and seasoning and throw it into the oven, or if you want to improve the flavour a bit, first brown your meat and onions in a pan and then add it to a casserole dish with veggies, stock and seasoning, and voila... serve with rice or mash or fresh bread, and away you go. Just let me know if you want more detail, but if you keep things simple and follow a few simple rules, you will be absolutely fine.
I wish you and Charlie many, many blessings for 2010. You have so many wonderful friends around you, that I am sure most of it will be plane sailing and filled with love.
Hugs always,
Jeanette
Did they help others.. thats so sweet. Definitely.. you brought me
a dear friend from your site. I adore her (cheryl) always saw something
in her comments that sang out to me. True instincts can be random.
I've often been told I email people at the right time, or see someone
at the right time. It makes me feel the universe is flowing as it should.
I'm glad you will still blog. I am attached to you now lol. I had another
dream of you and I talking and walking in a park together.. I kind of think
you come to me in my dreams. Silly maybe but I really feel like we are
friends in my dreams. I've always related to things you say.. sometimes
you have written things I do not understand but have always been open.
I hope that you will be blessed in writing your books and with Charlie.
In each of your days be filled of anticipation for what good is to come.
I love you! .. and our dogs nancy and patch xoxoxo
Someone once told me, "healers need healing too"... take all the time you need, and quality is definitely more important than quantity... no matter what, every time you turn back, you will always have a team of supporters behind you, close or not, near or far.

Thanks so much Lisa. Again, very inspiring!!
It was awesome to hear about contracts and the good people in your life, and the ones that make you not so happy. I have people in my life, that is one of the 'not' so good people, but in the end, i know that there is nothing i can do about it, and i also understand that we have a contract to see out. Which we will.
Also pointing towards the good people in my life. Some of them are people that i have met through your site, and recently just spent three days with. Pat S, Maur, Deb R and Rosie. AMAZING people, and I had such a great time, a much needed break. :)
So, thanks for doing what you do, and keep pushing through. You are an incredible woman, and mother.

I just saw The lovely bones. It reminds me of you.. your perspective from what I have read.. I won't give it away but if you haven't seen it I think you may connect to it.
Lisa, again- fab blog :-) I'll miss how regularly your blogs cone out (that sentence doesn't really make sense does it? O well, u understand I hope!! Lol!!) but to be honest, I have no idea how you do actually find the time to do it so often!!!
Anyways,my mum always says "good things come to those who wait" so, I'll eagerly await your blogs, and I have no doubt that they will be well worth the wait!!!
I have a quick story to share... The kitchen and I.. well, we are not friends. I hate to cook and I don't! I get so anxious in the kitchen as I always manage to cut or burn myself AND destroy the food!! I'm lucky enough to have a hubby that's a great cook!! Anyways, tonight, we had a huge fight over what he was going to put in the stew!! I wanted my mums recipe, and he didn't! So, it caused an unnecessary huge fight, which resulted in him yelling at me- "you have no idea how to cook!!!!...fine I'm not cooking!" and with that, he stormed off!! So, I went into that kitchen and yep, we are friends!!! I cooked up the best damn stew ever!! No cut fingers, no burns, just the perfect stew!!! Yay!!!! I surprised my husband that's for sure!!man, I surprised myself!!! So, the moral of this story- you and the kitchen may in fact become friends too :-)
much love, lyndell xxxoooxxx
Therese here, I do hope you contine your blogs, I get a lot out of them.
Hey Lisa!
All that you have said about people being in your life for SOME purpose means so much to me...I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason, even when we dont know the reason or disapprove of it..Recently, my closest cousin passed and its been very tough on my family & I of course.. before this happened, I had been saddened by the fact that my family was falling apart and had been scheming of ways to get them talking to each other once again..a bittersweet reunion came about when my cousin passed this past December, as relatives came into the picture from all over and its something so crazy-I finally got what I wanted, for the family to come together, but unfortunately it cost the life of my cousin so thats the part that hurts.
Anyways, I've been researching a lot about clairvoyants and mediums, starting with John Edwards since he is the first one I'd heard about. Then, on YouTube I came across a special segment you did in LA; I believe it was the first public reading you did in the States so it was very exciting & special for you.
Here is a very cool story; in one of those video clips, a woman appeared on camera whom I recognized from my hometown. Her son Brandon Evans, who attended my high school and was in several of my classes, had been murdered in San Francisco in Nov 2008. When I received this news, I googled his name and found the website (justiceforbrandon.com) his mother had set up in his name, to fund raise for the investigation costs & such. After exchanging a couple emails with his mother about personal stories about Brandon, she gave me her phone number and told me I could call her anytime to talk. This was in October 2009, before my cousin had passed, and so I didnt really feel a need to call her. Then in December when my cousin passed, I immediately thought of Mrs. Evans because of what she told me. Still, I did not call her, hesitant of what I would say. The final sign I had to make contact with Mrs. Evans was when I watched the above mentioned LA public reading and saw her appear in one of the segments. I couldnt believe she had appeared again before me, and I immediately felt the need to call her.
Anyways, I finally did talk to her and she told me about the reading you performed for her on that day in LA. At the time of the filming, she had not yet lost her son, it was her husband who had passed she wanted to get in contact with. Nevertheless, she assured me the reading was very much real and it just further reaffirmed my belief in your abilities.
It will be one month since my cousins death on 1/15/10..it might be too early, but I am very eager to get in contact with you or someone who can communicate with her. There are urgent family matters that cannot be resolved without her and its absolutely dire that we communicate...
Thank you very much for reading this, for everything you do. You inspire me, and everyone who watches your work, believers & skeptics alike.
Sincerely,
Ro
Dear Lisa,

Lisa .. a garden of love grows in your beautiful heart.
You have brought a world of the most wonderful people together ..
you continue to help and inspire so many and your blog (whenever
you have the time to write it) will always be gratefully received.
Thank you for being the very wonderful you.

Duonette - The Lovely Bones is absolutely amazing, and the author Alice Sebold is another inspiring woman, just like Lisa. She's another woman who is using her gift to unlock people, get them to open their eyes and their hearts, and reminding us all that there is more to life than what is in front of us.
Thanks Lisa for another great blog. I just bought your DVDs as a Christmas present to myself. I'm about to move from Australia to London in a month or two to start a whole new chapter - leaving my life, my friends and a lot of good memories behind in the hopes of finding something better around the corner.
Much love Lisa! You rock my world! Looking forward to your next show on Hayhouse!
Lisa,
Your timing is always amazing, as I am having the same thoughts about people in my life.
I feel that 2010 is a year for renewal in many ways but also a year that will bring discourse. It helps me to know that this is the hard time and later will be easier....
Thank you for being a beacon of light in our lives!
Lisa, Mwah and a hug to go with it. Love Julie xx
Hi Christian.. oh isn't it. I will have to read the book, I had not heard of her
before. Totally not what I had expected, have never seen a story like it before. Her message was very unique, I left feeling more connected to the universe after watching the movie. I wish you success in London.. you sound like you have a big adventure ahead. :) Wishing you lots of blessings ahead.
Thank you for you inspiration Lisa, you are great.
It sounds healthy and good that you put yourself and Charlie and your book up first. Looking forward to when your book gets to Sweden!
If my faith wants it too I will get your help to Believe as hope is fighting my rational thoughts and hope alone can't win.
You keep sharing; we'll keep reading!
Take care, Lisa.
peace...deb t/illinois
To everyone:
YOU CAN DO MORE THAN YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW MORE THAN YOU ARE AWARE OF.
It`s a new year with new opportuneties, a new beginning every day!
Be good tu and nutrish yourself: If you want to help and support others you have to take care of yourself.
Love from Anita
What you write is sooo true! I had a boyfriend for 2 1/2 years, and the last year he was verry ill, and almost died two or three times. But we got through it, and I thought our love would grow much tronger from this experience. But what happend was, as he healed he got more and more distant from me. And one day he just stopped talking to me, never answered to my mails or anything.
I was broken, because it just boom hit me in the face. But now, 1 1/2 years later I have figured that we were just ment to go through it together. And that it would make ur grow, and I can really say that I have grown, and that I have got so many good experiences that I most likely hadn't got to if we never had "broken up".
So even though it hurts when you stand in the middle of it, you will always be stronger after the worst of it has gone away!
Thank you, Lisa, for making me understand why my exboyfriend just became weird, and for helping me to heal!
Love and light
Camilla
Wonderful words! The time will come when you need it the most...and you may find that this is theraputic for you.
It's nice to see the reasons why we are connected to others...for good or bad. It is my confirmation of the growth of myself. I am also in the midst of a divorce with two children. Not only have I figured out my potential and all the possibilities available to me, I have found that he was very stifling and didn't want me to change. Everything needed to remain the same for him. Well, appears that he didn't learn his life lesson yet...as this is his second divorce. It's too bad that people get stuck in that rut and will never learn, but I will never move forward if I don't get out. That is not something to teach the kids! His violence didn't help either but I understand why he did it. He has a long way to go to acknowledge and learn that lesson, if he ever does.
Always remember.... no regrets. We did what we did for a reason...and for that, is who we are today. *the butterfly analogy is perfect* And yes Lisa, it is a "Me" year!
Take care!
love, Joan/Cleveland
Hey Lisa..You are inspiring because you don't pretend to be someone you're not..You are a woman, with all the same human experiences as the next person, and that my friend is why so many people relate and understand you..You don't pretend to be this super star Hollywood celebrity dripping in diamonds with a fake perfect life...You are keep it real and never, ever shimmy it up to be somehing you're not...Gotta love ya for staying true...Thanks heaps!!!! Love Stace.S XXX
I think you are amazing, know that! Your timing with all of this is weird for me, but interesting. I cant believe how much I can relate with everything. I just need to be as strong as you, that I am having a hard time with.
Thanks for your words!!
(((LOVE))YOU
I just want to put my arms throught the screen and give you the biggest hug in the world xx
I have only just read your blogs as I haven't been really here for a while.
I am one of the thousands that you have helped, as I found you when my mum passed away and I was devestated. Your forum members and you helped me so much to understand and believe and I really did need to believe!
I just want to say that you are one of the most special people in the world to me and I hope that you and Charlie have the most Wonderful 2010......your best one yet! xxx
Love Diane xxxxxx
LIS, GLAD TO SEE YOUR BACK,I CHECKED MANY TIMES TO SEE WHAT YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT THE MORE THAN 100 RESPONSES TO YOUR LAST BLOG. mY COUSIN AND I WERE IN A DEEP DISCUSSION ABOUT CONNECTIONS AND OUR CONTRACTS AND OTHER REALLY DEEP STUFF.
