It's been a whirlwind and I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed EVERY minute of it, including writing my book. I am 3 chapters away from finishing and I have been pounding the keys for days, and my fingers have ached but what a trip it's been, I have opened up so much and discovered about what happens when we die. You know you think you know something and then suddenly it opens up and you see it how it really is. 

WOW.. I can't wait to read the finished product even though I am writing it... is that strange?!?!

There are many times in life that we think that we know everything about a topic or a job and then suddenly someone or something comes in and BAM blows your theory out of the window. Now I do want to make it clear that I have never said I know it all about the afterlife, because I don't but I thought I knew a lot about it,... clearly not... however I DO now!!! haha

Life is about learning and growth and we have to accept that there are so many people that we can learn from, and you know it's normally who you least expect. I often learn from Charlie. Although he is 9 he sees things in a childs way and that is great because he is pure and honest, and tells it how it in. THere is no judgement clouding his opinions either and it's from the heart. I love it, and he often makes me sit back and think... huh... where did that come from. 

So you have to continue to learn and grow because life would also be so boring if you didn't, I know as new experiences come in you grow and you see things differently and it's part of the new changes and pathways that we have to create. But you also have to believe in yourself to know that you can make that change and grow. 

So remember never stop learning and growing and also remember there is always someone out there who knows more than you!

Big loves

It was a beautiful night and the full moon was incredible. I lay there looking out into the night from my bus window and I was watching the snow fall softly down from the sky and land on my window, and I looked up to the moon thinking of all of those who I love and miss. Ever since I was a little girl I had this thing about the moon and  the stars and when I miss people I would look up and know that they were looking at the same moon, the same stars and that we were under the same sky. It is so important for me to do this as it makes me feel close to them. I tell Charlie that when ever he misses mommy he just has to look up and know that I am under the same sky. 

It's part of feeling connected to people for me and I love it. 

Well I knew that tonight was going to be a good show, because before I started, I saw signs of my granddad and also Merv in the hotel store that I visited before I went to the venue, so having seen these signs I knew it was going to be good. And it was. 

I always ask for signs that I am on the right track or that I am doing things right or that my loved ones are around, and in fact I did just that at this very moment as I was thinking about a friend of mine and if they were ok and on came a song that related to them, to let me know that they are ok. It is all that I need. 

So tonights show was great but I have to mention one reading especially. It was a guy where he was sitting at the top of the theater and to be honest, he didn't want to be there. He was a complete skeptic. And as you all know skeptics don't bother me at all, I don't see them as a challenge I see them people who if they want to open up to this spirit world then great but if they don't I am not about to go out of my way to change their mind. 

We started with him on his brother in law and the reading fitted but he didn't want to accept it, and so I left it and moved on. I knew I was going to come back to him at some point because if the spirits want to get a message through they will, and they will not stop at anything until they have the message through very clear. 

So I moved on to someone else and then I started back to a murder situation with a guy called Matthew, the energy was coming through dead center and that is where he was, but up the top and the same guy stood up and he said, I have to say I am only here because of my wife and I do not believe. 

Well challenge!!! His buddy who had been murdered thought it was fully and he gave me PMSL as that is what he was doing he was laughing so hard on the floor… I started and I actually stopped him from telling me any info, and he stood there dumbfounded and his woof joined him and the expression on his face was classic, it was as if he was questioning where I got that info from. Every one was behind him in supporting him. Everything I said, he said yes to, this was no trying to work out the signs, this was a bang bang bang reading and then I stood and said, so you believe now… and he just nodded!!! It was funny. 

Now there is always one reading that will change someones mind from being a skeptic to a believer, and that is one of those  moments and it was one of those 'Lifetime' moments where you wish you had a camera crew with you. 

So now we are on the way to St Louis, which is great and we have 2 more show and then I return back to the west coast to be with my boy and the other special people in my life! 

Right have a good weekend and remember you don't always have to change people to your way of thinking just be open and they will soon see the light!

Love and hugs

Ok mom, I'll call you. It's been crazy, great and fun but also intense!

The tour so far has been amazing, and I have to say it's nice to be back with my boys, Ryan, Steve and Dee, they are great and they look after me so well so I am very thankful for that, and every place that we have been too have been fabulous. I have met some amazing people on the road, and I am not just talking about the people in the audience I am talking about the people at the stops when we stop for gas. 

What is important in life is meeting people who have a great spirit. You know we have to value everyone for who they are, not what they do. Some people simply have a very difficult spirit and they are not able to open up and soften, they judge and that may be because of whatever has happened in their past, but I know some of the nicest people around who have had the toughest of lives, so for me there is no excuse for mean people. 

And I want to explain that I haven't met any on this tour, but we all know that there are people like that out there. And they judge us all. 

My housekeeper, is someone who I had this conversation with recently, she is the sweetest person I know and she was saying that she felt like she hadn't succeeded in life, because she goes to peoples houses and cleans. OMG... I grabbed her, and hugged her, and said, that she has no idea what she does, she helps us all out and makes sure that we are safe and she is the most trustworthiest person in the world and she IS a success. She is a success for who she is. 

Her spirit is true, free, and beautiful. There are too many people who are willing to put others down. 

During my writing I have discovered so much about the afterlife, and what is interesting, is if you knew what we have to go through when we are accepted in people would be so much nicer to others. When you go over, you have to look at your own life and what you have done and how you have treated others, and that is a really hard thing to do, and you don't always like to look at it. When you discover what you had done and how it hurt them you would like to put it all right, but it makes you learn a lesson in people and how to treat others, so lets start now by just being nice to others. 

Stop the blame, and putting the guilt on others, just because of your own insecurities, or issues. Start smiling at people an accepting them as they are and for who they are. We shouldn't judge anyone, and it's about acceptance, love, understanding and compassion. 

If we can share a bit of the love around then the world would be a great place... lets start by smiling!!! 

Big smiles to you all

I actually feel that it's because of many things that are going on at the moment but I do feel that it was because my defenses were low. I was feeling a little flat firstly, although I don't think many people would have realized it. I was missing some people and also I used all the love that I had in my heart and put it out there in the audience and it worked. 

Some of the information and specific details even I was shocked about and the first two women who had both lost their husbands their reading was shocking especially when I came out with the code word. Every one has a code, when someone is looking at their passing they say, Oh if I can come back I will say XXX and today was one of those times, their code was Yellow... and I said that he was showing me a yellow ribbon. It flashed in front of me and the woman stood their shaking, and was shocked. 

I love nights like this as it just goes to show that even though you have this gift you should never take it for granted. You should never take anything or anyone for granted. When yo do you  can easily get hurt and upset because you are starting to rely on people for your own happiness and actually we are all responsible for own actions. 

I always say that if I start to take this gift for granted it will be taken away from me, and so therefore I respect what I have and use it for the highest good and that is my aim. So lets respect others, and take responsibility for things and stop taking people and situations for granted. 

I also want to let you know that until further notice the comments have been disabled. This is due to an unfortunate situation and I apologize for the inconvenience. 

Much love and have a great weekend

So I am back on tour!!! Whoohoo… and back on a bus, With Dee the driver, Ryan the tour manager, and Steve the videographer… I have to say it's great to be back on stage and back doing what I love which is delivering messages to those who need it. Tonights show was fabulous, and it was great to be back. After such a long break I always worry about whether I will be able to deliver the message correctly and accurately and even though I have been chatting with my spirit guides daily because of my book it's very different to talking with spirits and interpreting their messages and delivering them. But tonights show was fine and fun. We had some fun readings and some really serious readings but most of the time they were fun and they helped give closure and peace to so many people even though they didn't get a reading. Because what happens is that so many people can relate to the readings and they pick up messages within someone elses readings. I have to say, I love my work. 

Being away on the road, I have a mixture of emotions, I haven't been away for over 6 weeks and in that time period my life has changed and done 180 degree flip, and it's still a transition period. When you leave your loved ones behind and you head away for work for a period of time like this, you have to get into a different frame of mind, for me, there is a shift… I used to watch a TV show in england called Worzel Gummage and it was a scarecrow who used to change heads and he would come to life… I feel I have that life at the moment, I have taken my everyday Lisa head off and put on the 'witchywoo' head and plowed right into show mode and touring.  

Previously when I used to tour, I became a little disconnected to the world outside of touring as I would be focused on the work, even though I would call home every night, there would be a disconnect and that was something I was worried about, but this time, I feel that I won't lose that disconnection to the world which is something I am thankful for. I am still very connected and I think this is because I have to stay this way because of my book, which I am enjoying writing. 

I also worried about disconnecting with people I love and care about too, but again because of the way my life has changed I have to stay connected and it's great, and of course the phone, emails and webchats are the best thing and me being techie geek helps that!

It's always hard when you are the person who is left behind and the other person is traveling, because you think about what they are doing and how it's going, and actually wondering if you are missing out and what is happening while they are away, but in reality, as the person who is traveling, we are thinking exactly the same about them, and really if they knew what was going on they wouldn't worry because it;s a routine, of eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, work… 

So I want to take this time to express my love for those who are helping me, and for those who I have left back on the west coast and know that they are always on my mind and I am looking forward to being back and picking up from where I left off. Touring this way is certainly going to help me maintain the life with my son, friends and family that I have loved over the last few weeks!

Thanks everyone for helping me be back on tour and for being so nice and embracing my gift in the way that you do. 

Don't forget the members meet and greet is BEFORE the show, so check my site for details!

Much love

Where does the time go, it's amazing how we trundle through life and forget the time that passes. We walk by things and don't really notice things and then we forget words that someone has said. For a long while, I wasn't present in my life, for many reasons, however I have found that over the last few months, I have started to have the presence that I needed. I listen to people more intently and I remember things that they say, that actually shock them when I retell the story that they told, or tell them what their favorite beer is, when they told me 2 months ago. 

Being present is important, so we have to be focused. If we are not present then how can we live for the moment and also move forward in life and plan for the future. Because what happens now can often mould how we live our life, we change things, we make things happen, we have moments of inspiration from the present. 

By taking time to honor the moment we can also have moments of inspiration and this comes from a source that is so powerful that we shock ourselves, when we realize it's come from our true core, our essence, our soul. There may have been someone who has inspired that, but really you have had that moment and that is when you are truly connected to what you are feeling around you, and who is influencing your life. You are in the now, and feeling the moments. 

There are too many people who are willing to race through life and go on to the next thing and the next thing, it doesn't stop. I have been guilty of this and I know that, but this time I am focused, in the now and ready to receive. What happens when you live in the past for the future, you miss what is happening now, the beauty that surrounds us, the jokes that have created the laughter that you hear, the wind around the trees, many things pass us by, for what… a moment where you are rushing to create something for the future, or where you are holding on to something in the past. 

The past is something that we cannot change, we can't bring people back, we cannot change events. However we have to take a look and see how we are to move forward with the gift of life that we have been given and make the most of what we have. The future can change, but we can only really determine what we want if we embrace the NOW and what we are doing around us otherwise you will never really know what you like. 

So take time today to stop, look around you and appreciate what you have, who you have, and what everything means to you. Take your feelings and deal with them, live for the moment. It's hard, but I have often said at random times of the day, "At this present time I have everything I need" and it's true, I appreciate what I have, and who I have in my life. 

Honor you, honor what your feelings are and who you are… live in the present because it really is a gift!

With blessings and love

It was funny as next week I have my friend Adam Eliot on my radio show and I initially offered him todays slot and he came back and said, no as Mercury was in Retrograde... and i should have listened.. the show today well... there were lots of technical difficulties, and I am telling you, you can't blame all of the difficulties on the spirits.

Yes we occasionally have problems, but nothing like to day and it was funny as I had a feeling I should have done the show from my home, and I didn't I went to the office and it was wet and damp and I also think that had something to do with it, but you get along and as they say, "the show must go on!"

And it did.

Over the last few days it's been apparent that sometimes you just have to do things for you. It doesn't matter what it is, you can only please and help people for so long, before you say, 'enough it's my time now' and that is how I have felt over the last few days, and its interesting because as soon as you start to focus on your needs, everything that was a headache before hand, seems to run smoothly. It's almost like the spirits or the universe say, finally she is listening to us, now we will make it easy for her.

Oh I wish they wouldn't but thats exactly what happens. It's funny. So I started to focus on my needs, and what I wanted and actually voiced my opinions. I'm not an opinionated person at all, and I find it hard to voice what I feel sometimes however recently, I have and it was the best thing I did. I was noticed and listened too and honored.

It was empowering and great and I am so grateful for starting to see that I needed to do that, because it has helped me in so many ways.

Now you don't have to be over the top about it, you can just simply say, I don't like that, or I would appreciate it if you did this, you don't have to be angry or aggressive about  it. there are ways of asking but speaking your mind, and standing up for yourself and also knowing your own needs is the most important thing to do for yourself because you matter, your opinions count!

Much love and have a blessed day!

You are dealing with their personal life and it's a hard thing for people to accept that there could be something bad coming or something is looming, but also we have to accept that with out the little bit of pain we cannot accept the love and the good times that come in your life. As they say 'one door closes another one opens'. 

I have been thinking about what I ask before a reading over the last few days and I think it's an important question to ask when you ask someone's advice. It's so easy to say to someone... "what do you think about this?"

I have a friend of mine who has always said, that if someone asks the question, then they are ready to know the answer, but are they really? In reality their consciousness may not want to hear it, but the heart and soul may need to hear it. And what your answer may be is often exactly the same as what they know, but actually don't want to face. 

It's about choices at the end of the day, and you have a choice on whether you want to know someones opinion. It's not easy... 

So you ask yourself and you ponder over... do I want to know or not. Sometimes when someone says to you, do you want to know what I think, they answer all too quickly and say, "Yes" when really they should say, "hmmm I'm not sure let me think about it" 

You don't have to rush into hearing someones opinions but what you have to remember is that it's not up to any one else to make a decision, because no one is going to live your life for you, and you have to make the decision. You have to choose for you. You may have heard others opinions, and you may take their reasons and thoughts on board but ultimately  the choice is yours, you have to live with it you have to learn from it.

No one can change how you feel. You do what is right for you. You have to really feel what you need. Listen to your heart, listen to your feelings and listen to your soul. Don't hold back and be scared of change, because it has to happen in life for doors to open, for things to flow. But you also have to realise that is you procrastinate or linger and wait, the decision may be taken away from you. 

There has always been a song that has always been a huge influence in my life and it's by a band called Beautiful South and it's about a relationship where the man wants time and the woman has allowed it, and then suddenly he's ready to start back, but she has moved on. It's called a "A Little Time". I always have had that song at the back of my mind when I have to make a decision, and the same with my grand fathers saying to me, "Never get to my age and say I regret not doing that!" and you know he was right... 

So sometimes when we ask friends for their opinions, only ask if you want to know the truth because they see you in a different way to how you see yourself but also, remember what ever your decision or choice is about, remember if you dilly-dally and wait, the decision or the reward may not be there in the end. 

So with that said, 'Do you want to know everything?"

Hugs and love

I have also had other things to occupy my mind, which is also very good. I have several friends who are going through a lot of tough times for one reason or another, and I have been there to support them for that, and there are moments that I have a melt down too… but thats all normal and as I have said before I am not superwoman, and I cannot profess to be it any more… I used too but … nope… I give up and I Lisa and I am human! haha 

What has been apparent to me though over the last few days with everything that is going on is that it's about how you look at things and how you focus and how you deal with it. Its' a state of mind. For instance, one of my closest friends is fighting cancer, and all along you would look at her and think…. No, she hasn't got cancer! She's a tough cookie, and she has all along, fought this not only with her body but also her mind. she has focused on getting well and her remission party. I go around twice a week for healing and she is strong. I think I have only seen her have one bad day out of the whole time I have been giving her healing in the last 4 months. It's her state of mind, she is fighting this in such a positive way. 

Then there are other people who are leaving relationships and while it's hard to overcome and also hard to face, and if you remember I have 3 people who I know who I am a support for for this,  some of them are working on through it in their way and fighting to find a solution, then there are others that think that have done it and realize that they are doing it the hard way… everyone deals with things differently, however, it's about state of mind again. I have said the same to all of them, 'its just a moment of time' for the rest of your life. And they have adopted that attitude and stayed positive, knowing that it will be ok in the end. Now I am not saying that they are getting through it solely on my advice, because no matter what you always have to have a support system. 

Having people you can talk to or rely on is important especially when you are going through major changes  in your life, I know that there are six of my close friends, some of them new, some of them old, have been my support network… I have cried on their shoulder, laughed with them, even spilt a few drinks with them but they kept me on track and in the zone. Its important but constantly it was about state of mind and positive thinking. 

Which leads me to something else that I wanted to share with you in a way that maybe you would help. I love what I do and I try to help others on the journey and I have found that you reap what you sow and I give what I can and help who I can, and you find that you get the rewards also. So recently I have decided to help a young woman who is a single mom and who has cancer. She is another one who is a fighter, her state of mind of incredible. However she lives in the UK and the health system, and I am talking from experience here, isn't the greatest (sorry) and they haven't discovered where the primary tumor is for her cancer. The Anderson hospital in Texas have accepted her case and is willing to help her, however being a single mom… the funds are tight and getting over to the US to have these tests is a hard road, so I have decided to help out along with her friend who is also a friend of mine, Paula. 

Paula is a dancer and choreographer and has decided to put on a show to help raise funds to bring Jacqui her friend to Texas to have the treatment, it will cost $18,000 initially, so I decided to help out and set up a page on my website where people can read Jacqui's story and donate if they wish to help her come over get the treatment that she needs, and continue to be a mother to her 3 year old son Toby. I have also decided in true LW fashion that whatever we raise I will match that donation. So if we raise $5,000 I will match it and therefore she will get $10,000. so if you are interested in helping click here.

She emailed me today to say thank you as she was so overwhelmed with the response just by loading it on Facebook. So thank you to those who have helped already. 

So it's state of mind everyone and it's about believing that you can do and you will succeed. and so with that, I need to have the state of mind to know that I will finish my book on time… so I better get back to the tapping of the keys!

Much love and I'll see you soon!!!

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
