"Friends...rest assured some will not jive with who you are and what you have to say. Some will misunderstand you, while others may understand you perfectly well and simply not like you, for whatever reason. Please remember that all of this has nothing to do with you, not really. We can never own another person's … Continue reading Friends…
Honesty
Here’s What I’ve Learned
2015 has been many things for me, but it's hard, at the moment, to say it's been kind. That would be a lie. Granted, there are pluses and minuses to every day, week, month, and year. It hasn't all been bad, but it's been hard times a million. We've all experienced this in some capacity … Continue reading Here’s What I’ve Learned
The Greatest Success…
"The greatest success is to have a lightness in your heart, and to be completely at ease and comfortable by being exactly what you were created to be; your own unique and beautiful expression of the divine. The respect of intelligent people does not matter at all, neither does the appreciation of honest critics. Betrayal … Continue reading The Greatest Success…
An Amazing Thing…
”An amazing thing happens when you get honest with yourself and start doing what you love, what makes you happy. Your life literally slows down. You stop wishing for the weekend. You stop merely looking forward to special events. You begin to live in each moment and you start feeling like a human being. You … Continue reading An Amazing Thing…
Never Underestimate The Pain

I'll correct anything that I post that needs to be fixed later on. I sit here terribly sleep-deprived, covered in varying degrees of bruises (some … Continue reading Never Underestimate The Pain
Insomnia & Painsomnia: A Wicked Combination
Whenever there's something stressful going on in my life, it often affects my sleep, thus turning me into a shadow of my former self. Insomniac Lisa and Painsomnia Lisa are two very different beasts from the person I am when I'm able to prioritize sleep, and actually get into bed each night at a decent … Continue reading Insomnia & Painsomnia: A Wicked Combination
Struggling
It is the early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day here in the States. After spending hours preparing stuffing yesterday (which I highly suspect might suck today), I ended up with a highly stressful day which resulted in a migraine. That then turned into insomnia, which is the only reason I am awake at such an … Continue reading Struggling
We Are All Damaged
"We are all damaged. We have all been hurt. We have all had to learn painful lessons. We are all recovering from some mistake, loss, betrayal, abuse, injustice, or misfortune. All of life is a process of recovery that never ends. We each must find ways to accept and move through the pain and to … Continue reading We Are All Damaged
My Apologies
Hi everyone! I know this isn't a typical visiting experience at the moment, but I assure you I am doing my best. When you're caring for a post-op heart patient, every single day blends into the one before. I likely wouldn't know it was Monday if I hadn't intentionally bypassed Friday and Saturday's normal routine … Continue reading My Apologies
