DUE TO MY SHOW BEING SUDDENLY TAKEN OFF OF THE STATION I WORKED AT...I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO BRING AUTHOR TOM CATTON TO YOU ON AIR...WELL NOT YET ANYWAY... ;)

I JUST FINISHED HIS AMAZING BOOK AND AM BLESSED TO HAVE A PLATFORM OF MY OWN TO SHARE WITH YOU, MY FELLOW 'HUMAN ROCKSTAR BAD ASS WARRIORS' I FIND ALONG THE JOURNEY...

at times we want to be a victim, are down, feel alone & believe the universe is NOT working in our favor. we MUST trust that an amazing & beautiful synchronicity will ALWAYS show up to remind us that life is beautiful, we are never alone & that EVERYTHING is the way it is supposed to be.

we may not understand 'Life' in the moment. that is ok. maybe we are not supposed to. it is not about always understanding, for that is what the limits of the mind want us to do... it is being with in it...when we are truly within life there is no need to understand for the understanding is provided for us.

if we open our hearts to a greater awareness & the moment itself, we will know and feel we are always being loved , protected & cared for by something that is not easily able to describe. it is when we surrender and open our hearts to all hat is and what ever is... alas the miracles happen.

Thank you author and Hawaiian dweller, Tom Catton for being in my "flo" today. i am blessed by you!

i am blessed and so grateful for the synchronicity that lead me to you...Randy Rogers, and the beauty that life brings. we may not always have a plan but when we live within the flow of the action...life happens and provides!

although never an addict of drugs, alcohol, etc....aren't we all an addict of something???? i know i am and i am willing to bet you are too!

THIS BOOK ROCKS AND I SUGGEST EVERYONE READING IT...WHAT AN GREAT JOURNEY WE ARE ALL ON...and we are never alone!

LOVED LOVED IT AND I FEEL MUCH MORE AT PEACE, WITH ALL THAT IS, IN THIS MOMENT OF NOW!

inspired while sitting in the sun, with my most beloved MAUI BABE, in the motor city on a beautiful STILL summer day

Oh Hawaii ...are you calling my name? you keep showing up!

An email sent to YOU saying THANK YOU for ALLLL your support! It has been OVERWHELMING, in a great way!! xo

Hello,

As you may already know, or not, my show at CBS has ended as of Friday August 19. Due to reasons outside of my control, CBS has decided to go another way with their programming from 3-PM ET. This was a complete shock to me but understand business is business and everything is the way it needs to be. It had nothing to do with me or my show. For now, they are still playing encores.

Although no one is more sad than me to not be able to connect with you everyday, I know that the universe has bigger plans for me...for us. Now I can work on my TV plans and my book as well as a new venue for the show!

In the meantime, I am looking for a new home for Lisa J. NOW! that is bigger and will be easier for more people to access around the world. I believe that there is something bigger and better out there so that together we can reach more people and bring awareness to a crazy place we call Earth. :)

I wanted to send you a personal email THANKING YOU so much for all of your support over the days, months and years that you have listened and been apart of my work. Getting to know you has been a pleasure, honor and a highlight in my life.

As I was taught by my beautiful "Peeps", "Without YOU there would be no me and without me there would be no you". YOU have brought more to my life than you will ever know and TOGETHER we have grown, learned, laughed, cried and loved!

This is a note that some of you may have seen on my Facebook that I posted to the many responses I received in support of Lisa J. NOW!:

"You have touched my heart over the years in ways you will never possibly imagine, each one of you. The people I have connected with on the show and the ones I never talked too... but I KNOW are there everyday listening and growing with all of us! You are MY ROCKSTARS and TOGETHER we will move onward and upward on the magic carpet ride. Continue to follow me on Facebook and I will find a home for all of us soon...I PROMISE. Remember I am still doing readings and sessions in my office in Detroit or by phone anywhere in the world. NOW I have a lot of time to get to EVERYONE so don't hesitate to call or SPREAD THE WORD about MY PRIVATE READINGS. www.lisajnow.com

I love you all and APPRECIATE YOU and ALL your support thru the years...you have been there for me in ways you will NEVER KNOW...we are a TEAM...I wanted team "Lisa J."...and you ARE all on it! Time to kick it into high gear! XOXOXOX WE ARE "HUMAN SPIRITUAL ROCKSTAR BAD ASS WARRIORS"...time to persevere"!!

I know you can not call in anymore for 'Messages from Spirit' or for the Wisdom Deck presently, but I am available for private sessions at www.lisajnow.com.

I just included a 30 minute phone session at a lower price if you can not do the 45 minutes.

I am available usually within the week, am now VERY flexible with my times and can spend more time with you one on one. I suppose all clouds have a silver lining.

i just saw another raccoon on the way home tonight (this time happy to be in my bed and not a tent surrounded by them lol )...

i asked it what it wanted to tell me on the beautiful full moon....it told me that everything will be OK...and even though my back is tattooed with 3 lil birds....its ok...because now it is time for a racoon to 'have my back'. i said ok...whatever YOU say mr. racoon...and i thanked it for bringing me messages.

you see...what i fear the most was and is myself and my power. the raccoons...although they were in my camp to eat my food last week ( and there were a lot of them), were telling me that 'everything lil thing is going to be ok and to not be afraid of who i am...they tell me that the raccoon mask is not a way to hide what they dont want us to see...their mask are a way for them to adapt to any given situation. they tell me that they are smart, funny, witty, loving, kind, and adaptable! adaptable....now there is a concept...go with the flow...see what happens...let go...no worries...by wearing a mask we are able to adapt and change to situations that need adapting too....

funny how the thought of our own power can be so scary...but looking at others in there power is so empowering....we are so interesting us humans.

sooooo.....on this full moon...use the brilliant light from the magnificent light in the sky to shine upon your inner most fears and release them to the wild. be afraid...feel it...understand and respect it then let it go! the light from the dark sky will be the instrument to release, the light will release you and the darkness will transmute and keep you safe...you are always safe!

it is time to take an honest look at who you are, where you are going and remove any rode blocks that stand in the way of you and your dreams....we only have so many chances to blow out the birthday candles and make a wish....when i blow out my final candle my greatest wish is not for what i WISH (LACK) i had but a reflection back on all that i created, loved and learned. please use the energies around you to heal, transform and uplift you to the next place in your evolution.

life is short. we have much to do in the less than a 100 years (give or take) we have to be all that we can be. we are given each other, the planets, the animals and many energetic helpers to guide us and help us to become all that we can be....

enjoy your journey rockstars....

one thing is for sure....there will not be another one like this one....( ok some of you can stop cheering now lol lol ...if it's not this journey....it will be sure to be another so enjoy the one you have)!

SO I WENT TO A FUNERAL TODAY....

it is very interesting. i wish i could say that i was more sad...but the fact is that i am so happy for the person that has left their physical body it is hard to be sad for them. now of course i am so sad for my best friends and their families. i am sad because the world needs more women like aunt Bea! i am sad because we don't understand the death is birth and renewal. i am sad that we feel so sad. i am sad because it makes me miss the people in my life who are not here in the physical...but in that moment...i feel such peace for the person who once lived as we are and is now living in another way!

so, i sat there and closed my eyes and i just felt. i felt what was going on around me. i felt the sadness. i felt the joy. i felt the love. i felt the void. i felt the unhappiness of those living who wished they had done more with their lives. i felt the sorrow of the families. i felt the celebration of life on the other side. i felt the song that raised our spirits and brought us to tears. i felt the memories of all those packed into the chapel. i felt the truth of spirit and the lies of humanity. i felt the unity and the separation. i felt the separation that ignorance, religion and racism bring..needless to say i felt a lot in 45 minutes.

i started thinking on my way home...how do you sum up a lifetime in only 45 minutes? aunt bea had been through so much in her 88 years that it is hard to even know where to start. she buried her 2 husbands and 2 children...where do you start with that? she lived though...she lived and shined brighter than most that i have met.

where do you start with all the little things that happened throughout her lifetime that may or may not have brought her to her knees begging for grace and brought her to the heavens where she found new and stronger faith.

i was thinking of all the situations and people in my life that have hurt me. i thought of all the people and places that bring me joy. i thought of all the people in my life who i can trust who REALLY have my back and i can call a friend. i thought of all the people were not friends and that hurt me and the people who blow smoke up my skirt and pretend to care. i thought of the people, who in some way or another, have brought such immense pain into my life but were my teachers and played significant roles (nonetheless) and how much i loved the ones that have hurt me the most. i thought about how amazing each and every person and place are and is in making up my story as i go through this lifetime. i thought about how much i have learned in only a few months...let alone the past almost 43 years. the day to day at times can feel so overwhelming and at times just to hard to get through at times...so we stay in our moment waiting for the next moment...and we breathe! we think of the big picture. we think of ourselves. we think of how we affect other people. we think of the whole. we think of our place in the world...we become 'our own' place in the world.

i wondered when i die will people say i lived with class, grace and i triumphed over pain? that i taught people something and that i left the world a better place than when i came in. i wondered, as so many of you wonder, about the things in my life i wish i would have done different...or the choices that i have made. i sat as i honored aunt bea...wondering about life. my life...your life...aunt beas life. i concluded that all i really want to do i live! the ironic thing about me saying that is all i ever really wanted to do is be the one who got to go home. life is hard. it is painful and my whole life all i wanted to do was go home..i felt so separate from something i just did not know what. i am not going to kill myself. i am not unhappy. i am not miserable and sad. i just missed this part of me that i could never put my finger on. but then a funny thing happened when i began to feel again. i realized sometime ago that i was already where i wanted to be. my heart and my soul was not separate from but is a part of all that is. i did not need to feel home sick. i did not need to long for what was. i only needed to tap into what i already was and where i was at that moment. when i was able to do that i realized that that part of home was within me all a long.

today as i sat smiling, hearing aunt bea say to me, " be happy i am finally where i am supposed to be...and it feels good to be home". i knew she meant home with her family. she did her time here on earth (i was a little jealous i must add lol). as my beautiful friend mike said in her eulogy, "she came here to feel the joy"...88 years of joy may i add and that is a lot of joy.

aunt bea lived....boy did she ever! she triumphed over life. she came to win and she won. now she is out of this body and onto other things. as my lifelong best friends are at the cemetery, right now, placing her no more needed body into the ground....i sit here where i am guided to be, at home, with my "stuff", all alone psychically...but spiritually home with aunt bea and all of our loved ones around me reminding me to live; to take in the pain, the beauty, the sights and the smells and most of all...the feelings of being human...of what we call being 'alive'. we are truly blessed.

you see, aunt bea is everywhere all the time in everything and so are we!

so how do you sum up 88 years in 45 minutes? you just say she lived. she loved and let us love her. she brought beauty into the world and sang as beautifully as a lark bird. i know my life is forever different because of aunt bea and her being in this world at the same time as me....if only for a moment...her being here taught us it was all "ok" and "God brings us that in which we need".

i wonder, as so many people do, what they will say about me when i die! what will be my legacy and what my children and maybe grandchildren will say? i strive for people to remember that i lived authentic and real...that although FAR from perfect, i loved with all my heart...maybe too much if that is possible. that my heart broke easy and that i at times trusted people to much, but again that is because i saw their soul and not their humanity. that i to trumped over heart break and remembered who i was. that i taught one person something that they did not know before and i paved the way for others to live their best life that they could . that i forgave and rose above and that i too had class and grace. that i was one ' rockstar spiritual bad ass warrior' and that i crossed over finding my voice, standing up for myself and always being able to stand within my own truth. that i was not afraid to live anymore and i found my wings to fly!

now you see why aunt bea was so amazing...she continues to inspire and to set your heart free from wherever she may be!

it has been asked before:

what do you want your legacy to be?

what do you want your 45 minutes to say about the person you were and how you lived your life?

EGO...love it!!!

2011-04-25T13:22:00.001-04:00

Lisa,

How do I work with my EGO? I have found over the past several days I have a very HEALTHY, HAPPY one. And I keep hearing "Arrogance"???? But I can't get anything more than that? Ugh, the psychic shrapnel is a pain in the arse.

My answer:
i love devils advocate...that is how we learn...that is why we have black and white, good and bad, up and down, right from left, and ying and yang, blue and red, etc... they are always there playing devils advocate right?

Ego: you can not resist what is because it is your teacher and a part of you…like it or not! use ego to apply the right leverage and it to advance you rather than limit you. Ego is perception....your ego’s only purpose is to kick your ASS and keep you in check.

Say, “thank you so much...i understand that you are here teaching me ___________now that i know this, i will work with it”.

A perfect example of ego…your ego telling you you are ‘arrogant’ for knowing what you know. your ego is telling you you are ‘arrogant’ because, “Who are you to be ______________” ???

That limited thinking is what your tapes are playing from a lifetime of being told, “who are you to be ____________________??? Don’t be _____________! Be like _______________. If you are like _____________ you are _______________”.

Acknowledge the obvious elephant in the room....ask listen and learn... say to yourself, “I am me to be me”....”I am ok to be ___________ and as a matter of fact I was born to be ______________. Thank you for reminding me because I was forgetting who I WAS”.

Now ego did its job by nudging you and kicking you in the butt to get YOU to the point of accepting who you are. It will continue to kiss your butt until you get it….don’t wonder why its not working…it is…are you learning?

ego is not the enemy...it plays its role…end of story! it is learning to check with yourself...working with yourself in all the moments to find the balance and discover things about yourself that have been hidden...it is there teaching you and getting you to learn to listen to WHO you are...not what the tapes what you to be.

that is egos job...

now say, “THANK YOU ego for making me the spiritual BAD ASS that i am...and reminding me of who i am and who i was born to be”!

my peeps:

me:

my peeps:

me:

my peeps:

me:

life is good...and we are always going to be ok!

2011-04-19T13:24:00.000-04:00

EVERYONE......

does not matter if you don't take of the center first

Yes! You are Creative!

2011-04-19T13:14:00.000-04:00

Yes!

You are Creative!

Why do we create? We create because it allows the inner part of ourselves be heard.

So many times we feel that they are not able to be ourselves. We feel that we are not being heard and we are not able to be what we want to be on the outside… but on the inside we are crying out to be heard. As sad as this is, it is true for many of us walking around the planet right now.

When we enter into a state of creation, any state of creating, it us being authentic and real to who we are. We are bringing the inside of ourselves to the outside. We are letting that inner child and that inner quite voice express who we are and what we are on the inside.

We hold it all in because very often we feel that being the way we are is either not good enough or that we are being judged. This comes from years of being told in many different ways…by our families, schools, communities and so on that what we are is not conforming enough to the outside world. Example, if you want to be liked, if you want to fit in, if you want a good job or if you want to be happy…you must be THIS WAY_______. How is that working out so for you? If you are anything like the rest of us, I am sure the answer is “not so good!”

When we create we go within ourselves and allow the beauty of all that is within us to come out. We allow that part of us to be authentic and real to our truths.

Being who we are is as important to life as breathing. We just have learned through thousands of years to evolve out of being who we are…. the breathing we have not figured out yet! But I am sure if we could we would! We are that good at tricking and masking ourselves.

Why do you think we are here? Because it is fun?????

For many millions and millions of people who are homeless, live in war torn regions and have extreme abuse in their life…it is not always fun! It is painful and raw to be here, living on this planet we call Earth. With that said, we are all here to remember who we are. Creation allows us to remember those parts of us that we have stored away for many, many, many years…sometimes lifetimes.

I often tell people. “You’re so creative!” They always look at me like, “Who me?” I say “YES YOU!” and they are shocked. Why always so shocked? Why would you not be? You made it this far on the planet…health, finances, and relationships, etc…YOU ARE CREATIVE…YOU ARE CREATING YOUR LIFE!

Creative does not mean that you are going to be the next Monet, Renoir, or Bach. It means that you have your OWN amazing gifts and talents inside of you that allow you to think outside of the box and be all that you want to be. You have always been doing this but it is so natural you don’t see it. It is part of that toolbox of life that we are all born with! How do you think we got this far? Because you are CREATIVE!

That toolbox contains many tools that we can use to adjust ourselves, tweak ourselves and fix (I use that term loosely because I don’t believe anything is ever broken to be fixed) what is not working properly in that moment.

Creation is the basis for all that is. You are the basis for all that is. If you are a part of All That Is…Creation…than how can you not be creative?

We need to stop and start using our common sense. We have to stop being so hard on ourselves. If others are creative in their own way, then you are creative in your own way. No two people can create the same. No two people look the same. No two people are here to fill in the same piece of the puzzle. Your piece is uniquely yours and you are designing it in every moment you are here…. when you are no longer here….your piece will be completed for this puzzle….what do you want it to look like?

Your creativeness lies within your being. It is there; it has always been there.

Allow yourself to create. Maybe it is a garden, maybe it is a song, maybe it is a new way to move your furniture or office space around, maybe it is with your finances, create with your clothing, create with your voice, CREATE! CREATE! CREATE! and allow your inner creative beauty to be shared with me, with us.

We need you!

Be the creative masterpiece you were born to be.

Something to think about today! Not for the weary, for Spiritual BAD ASSES only

2011-04-17T11:24:00.002-04:00

something to think about today:

if you are proud of the person you are....then stop to think about ALL the people who have helped you realize your worth....there have been so many people i want to thank for helping me along this journey...i think i will just thank them from my heart...no need to get up close and personal! lol ;)

another words... forgiveness is for yourself not others!

homework:

* get a large poster board and crayons, colored pencils or markers!
* use the poster board horizontal so you have more room

1. in one column, write the names of ALL the people in your life who have helped shape you into the person you are today. remember many of those people are the ones you argue with, fight with, disagree with, the ones who have taken your power, have left you weak, that have hurt you the most...and many are the ones are the ones that have lifted you UP!

2. in the next column write how each person has helped you become who you are in this moment....this may take a few lines up so be sure to leave room. I.E. how did they hurt you and how did you become better from that experience?

3. in the third column, write a sentence or two of gratitude and forgiveness to each person...write them a note thanking them for loving you enough, on some level, to have hurt you, disappointed you, etc...so that you could be the person you are today! you are strong, beautiful, free, brave, courageous, loving, kind, compassionate, soulful, spiritual, etc...you are these things because we have people in our lives "planted" to remind us of what we always have been. thank them and let them go...

4. in the fourth column...write a prayer, affirmation or loving statement to yourself. you are the one who got you to this point...

I.e. say, "thank you Lisa...thank you so much for always being with me...thank you so much for ALWAYS having my back....and no matter where we go or what happens we always have each other. i so love you".

5. use your markers, pencils and your crayons to decorate, color and design your beautiful board of love! set your creativity free...for within this creativity you will find your healing, your love and your self!

6. when you are done....some would say burn it to release it and let it go, some would say use it as a vision board, some would say tuck it away and keep it safe. it is your board maybe you have another idea! DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR BOARD....no one will tell you what you "should' and "should not" do!

trust YOUR gut! trust YOUR intuition!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Full moon is upon us and as i write this i realized why i am being guided to post this today!

it is time to release and let go of what is no longer serving you and your needs. this is an exercise in letting go, releasing, and loving yourself! it is spring time...it is easter. it is passover. it is a time of re birth and renewal of YOU and of ME! i have chills all over as i write!

A M A Z I N G

awww.....the beauty of all that is! how amazing it is!

remember this includes all the people who have taught you anything about YOU.

FYI, most of the greatest lessons do not come from those that do not come me with boxing gloves! ;)

remember: YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL BAD ASS....this is not for the weak!

much love to you today and everyday! i have my own work to do!

Let a fish be a fish

2011-03-16T11:14:00.000-04:00

by Lisa J Smith on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 11:11am

this came to me last night while i was falling asleep. for our friends, family, our children, co workers, employees...for all of us!

if you want a fish to swim do not take him out of the water. you are setting him up to fail.

a fish is a fish and can not be anything but.

by taking him out of the water and setting him on the ground...he will suffocate...not because he does not want to breathe and succeed and do the best he can, but because that is not the way he was built to survive. he was meant to be in the water.

if you purposely take a fish out of the water and set it on the ground then don't blame the fish for not being able to be a fish. you are the one that took him from where he thrives to where he will die. that is no fault of the fish.

the next time you think you are doing someone a favor...stop and think if they are a fish and where they would best fit... if they are a fish leave them in the water so they can thrive there and be the biggest fish in the pond...unless you are afraid that they will become a bigger fish than you! :)

awww....sometimes i think the fish are smarter than we are. we always think that we are untouchable, nothing will ever happened to us and that karma only happens to other people. We try to make our children, family, friends co workers into something they are not and then wonder why it isn't working.

when we live in a place where we support and up lift those who are around us and create the BEST SCENARIO FOR THEM TO BE IN, we are creating a better place for ALL of us to live in. duhh....

too many people are working from fear and ego that they are not enough so they attack or project onto others....when we can lift each other up we will thrive, breathe and create!

i sometimes think that people are the ones getting all tied up in the lines...and the fish are the smart ones...leave them alone and let them be fish!

what i don't have lead me to what i do have

2011-03-14T21:32:00.000-04:00

what i don't have lead me to what i do have
by Lisa J Smith on Monday, March 14, 2011 at 9:23pm

i have no mission statement, i have no easy way to tell you who i am or what i do, i have no people who work for me, i have no assistant, i have no professional videos to show case my work, i have no guru, i have no book, i have no TV show, i have no show prep sheet everyday to tell me what to say, i have no web designer, social media staffing, i have no sales team, i have no marketers, i have no team of people making me beautiful, i have no production team, i have no staff meetings, i have no full time producer, i have no PR person, i have no savings account, retirement fund or stash of cash for a rainy day!

you might ask," why would you talk about what you don't have, isn't that not being positive and not spiritual"?? ....and i say to you, "what i don't have is nothing to have"...

i have my heart.

i have my truth.

i have my authenticity.

i have the moment.

i have life.

i have breath.

i have real stories.

i have YOU.

i have my heart to lead me where i, we, need to go.

i have a voice.

i have my passion.

i have my history.

i have my stories.

i have my experiences.

i have my class.

i have humility.

i have an understanding

i have all that i have ever been.

i have faith, belief and trust to meet those who i need to meet when i need to meet them.

i have more of my 'peeps' guiding me than i know what to do with most of the time.

lessons from a snowblower

2011-03-01T00:14:00.000-05:00

Spirit used another great analogy today to teach another life lesson:

My dad was over the other day....he needed to use my heavy duty snow blower to make a path to get something in my driveway.

I told him that i was having problems with it the other day when i had to try to plow through some pretty big drifts. i told him the wheels kept spinning and i could not get it to move forward without it getting stuck in a pile. this is a heavy duty industrial snow plow so it really should have been a breeze! it was anything but.

after he was finished, took him 3 minutes by the way, he asked what speed i had it in ( speeds 1-6)? i told him 5.

i'm no fool. i hate the snow and cold. my goal is to to get out there and get 'er done and get back in the house. the faster the better.

he said "well there is your problem. i had it in 1 or 2 and it worked great. i plowed right through". as i stood there feeling stupid, lol, he explained that if i have the speed too fast, all i would do is spin the tires because it had no torque behind it to make it move...DUH!!! it needs to be in 1 -2 to get through the big stuff! makes sense to me...the slower the speed the more "ENERGY" it would have behind it. it would be able to grip and move at a steady yet slower pace...therefore allowing me to use less of my energy and more of the snow blowers...THUS allowing me to finish FASTER AND EASIER!!!!

so tonight in a message to a client, spirit used that to explain to my client that she was going to fast and spinning her wheels. if she wanted to move through the tough stuff in her life, she has to slow down and allow it to move with more torque...more behind you to make it move through even the biggest of piles. the faster the speed the slower you go! the slower you go the more distance you will cover more efficiently and with less energy.

i thought about all the times in my life that i tried too hard to push through the big stuff. i wanted to go fast to get it done and move on...and ended up getting nowhere fast! awwww.....now i get it! :)

what a great analogy! i love the way spirit works....so many simple yet great messages to help us in any way they can!

if it will only snow one more time... ill try my snow blower out in speeds1 or 2.

now i know how to plow a nice little path through even the heaviest of storms! thanks dad!

happy snowplowing! :)

Cleanse and renewal...the souls journey thru the car wash!

2011-02-25T18:19:00.003-05:00

Today a message came through from a listener’s dad on the other side and i wanted to share!

He compared his crossing over to being in a car wash...by the way i love how they explain things to us!

He said that when he crossed over it was like when you first enter the car wash...you align with the tracks and put your car in neutral. The car wash itself does all the work. It pulls you thru while you just sit back and enjoy the 'ride'.

While in the car wash it will spray you down, will soap you up (so it may be hard to see for a minute but that is ok be you know what is going on and you know you are on the 'right track').... and then waxes and rinses off the suds...when you are all clean you go thru the dryer...and then they dry off what ever is left on the car. You come out the other end shiny and sparkling just like new...I loved that!

I suppose it is about rebirth. I see it like this:

It, we, life is a cycle:
We have over and over and over entered the car wash. We have been stripped down, cleaned and polished up!!
Through driving our car (psychical selves) through storms, snow, slush and even sunshine on the dry days...our "cars' get dirty. When we are finished driving this car...our physical body...we pull into the car wash and let it do its thing...when we come out we are like new again and there are no traces of the dirt and grime of before.

This is a great explanation of what i tell my listeners and clients about 'death' there is no personality ...there is no anger...there is no ego...there is no hate...there is no un love...there is only beautiful shiny and sparkly cars...all of that is part of the journey. But when we leave our 'physical bodies' that goes with it. I have given thousands and thousands of messages and have NEVER been with on person on the other side who holds on to this. If they come thru that way it is a way for you to VALIDATE them...so you recognize their 'car'...but they do not carry that grime with them...

Guess what...when we pull out of the car wash...we get right back on our journey...we don’t think "oh no i cant drive bc i don’t want to get dirty again"...we get back on the rode drive and we know that next time we need a car wash and the time is right...we will find one and cleanse and renew.... and so the journey and cycle of life continues.

Don’t forget that this is the macro...this applies to the micro situations in your life as well.... while you are still in your dirty car! ;)

Relationships that hurt you, work, spouses, money, and health...we can always pull in the car wash for a quick cleanse and wash. Listen to your guidance and pull over...you will be taken care of and back on the rode in no time...ALLOW your self to let go of the wheel...know you are ALWAYS on the right track...and allow it to be.

It is like a circle within a circle within a circle...so amazing and so wonderful and so pure!

LIFE...now have fun and don’t forget to tip the peeps at the car wash!

Puzzle Pieces

2010-11-29T10:14:00.002-05:00

I was giving messages a few weeks again at a private gallery reading and this message came through...i cant stop thinking about it:

We are all puzzle pieces. The universe is a vast puzzle beyond our comprehension. Each one of us has a unique piece that fits just perfect in the world.

WE spend so much time worrying about if we are ok, who we are, where do we fit in, wanting to please, wanting to change OUR piece, etc... once we can just accept that our piece was divinely created and is the perfect piece we will find peace.

WE are trying to figure out the universe's puzzle. our role in the universe is NOT to be the whole puzzle but to be the piece of the puzzle that completes it. by allowing our piece to fit in the puzzle we easily become a part of the greatest puzzle and then it creates the bigger picture.

actually, we are always a part of the universe as a piece is part of the puzzle...the bigger picture! our struggles are for nothing because our piece IS our piece. it is our lot in life so to speak. we need to accept that, own it, love it and be proud of the role we play in the universe just the way WE are. there are no pieces that do not fit. you just have to let the "puzzle maker" tweak and turn your piece to get it to fit. that "puzzle maker' is a higher part of you! it KNOWS what to do...let it do its job!

we are not the entire universe...by ourselves without the puzzle. we will always be a part of the universe but for it to be complete we need to be the piece....kind like when i say to you, "be the piece of peace".

some pieces are short, tall , skinny, plump, jewish , christian, muslim, balck white, mean, friendly, rich, poor, differences in learning etc...you get the picture!

Unique, one of a kind, cut to fit, designed to complete. When we stop making everything so hard all the time, when we stop trying to be everything to everyone...we can just be who we are. we will see that our piece is perfect for the puzzle and it was created to be divine.

be your piece of peace ~

tem·po·rar·y~ what this 2010 thanksgiving taught me

2010-11-28T12:35:00.001-05:00

tem·po·rar·y

/ˈtɛmpəˌrɛri/ Show Spelled [tem-puh-rer-ee]

lasting, existing, serving, or effective for a time only; not permanent:

~the one thing that i am learning, not always the easy way, is that nothing stays the same. much to how i wish with all my might it did...it does not!

we write books about it. we talk about it. we give lectures about it. we discuss it. we intellectually understand the concept..but living it is not always so easy!

the difficulty lies in accepting and truly understanding that nothing ever stays the same. marriage, relationships, kids, friends, work, living situations, emotions, feelings, time, time, places, etc....nothing is permanent.

i am beginning to see that when we think it is we are setting ourselves up for something that can not possibly exist. everything changes...it has too! i never really GOT that before....although i knew it...ya i know, it is my light bulb moment!

i asked my peeps what they have to say about 'temporary', and this is what they tell me:

for our dear children and freinds...can you imagine a world where there was only permanent and no temporary. your world would be stiff, solid, rigid and cold. there would be no fluidity. there would be no growth. there would be no-thing. it simply can not be.

temporary allows for the old to wash away and for the new to come in. temporary allows for change. now some do not like change...just ask lisa! for others they thrive in it. either way, change is the only way to survive. without change there would be no air, there would be no life, there would be no movement, there would be no breath. without change one would have no reason to be.

you see, change and temporary, allow you to become all that you dream of. it allows you the opportunity to change, to move, to sail upon the wind and to grow into the beautiful being's that your heart dreams of. by changing and being temporary you are allowed to go to beautiful places within your heart and with in your mind. temporary allows, the what you call negative or bad, to be "washed" away. it seems so scary but it is really quite calming and beautiful. it is like a birth...exhausting and weary yet rewarding and miraculous beyond your wildest dreams.

nothing is being taken away from you when things change. things are being given to you for you to mold and create into new opportunities and new adventures. when you change the way you look at the world the world changes with you. allow yourself the beautiful gift of change. allow the temporary to embrace your life and take you where you need and ultimately want to go. allow temporary to be your friend and know that temporary has your back.

allow temporary to be what it is....fluid and ever changing to bring you what you want in your life.

if nothing ever changed, can you imagine what the world would look like?? if nothing ever changed there would be no reason for any of you or for anything.

allow your faces and bodies to change, allow them to be temporary homes that house your soul...for now. take care of them and nourish them and allow them to change. there is no growing old. Some of you change your faces and your bodies to look like you did when you were 20. that was temporary, 20 was then...today is now...it has changed...and that is ok. it, your temporary body, is supposed to change or else it would not. allow the change to be beautiful. allow the wrinkles and the curves. allow the youth to live within and allow outer age to show your wisdom, courage and strength.

everything is temporary for a reason...allow children to grow up and out, allow relationships to end, allow new life to begin, allow new work to come to you...do not allow the fear of change to hold you back for your soul is longing to breath. it can only breath when you allow temporary into your space. allow temporary to be your friend and take you where your soul needs to be! we love you and whatever you decide to do is fine with us....we are only here to tell you what we know...the living is up to you!

~loving and affectionately called "the peeps" by Lisa (J.) ;)

WOW! and that is why i love, love, love my peeps so much. they teach me, they help me to remember what is important and they bring such deep love i can feel it in every cell.

i remember why i am blessed. i remember that i am blessed to have had what i once had; a loving family, 2 beautiful kids who are grown up now, i had a husband who loved me as much as he could, a beautiful dog names Brownie, a best friend named Tracey and a house that i owned and raised my family in. i have so much to give thanks for. it has taken me allllll Thanksgiving week to find this in my heart. i felt like the Grinch...with a very little heart and NO love to give at all. that sucks when all you want is to be you! i still have a little ways to go....but isn't that just life?

so for now (as i am learning is so fleeting) i sit and feel lighter. i feel better. i feel like me. i feel like i have given birth yet again...this time to a beautiful little thing called change. i will nurture this moment for change is sure to be temporary.

i needed to understand that in order to move on. i hope that it helps you too!

hey we are all in this together, right? that is one thing that will NEVER change! the unity of peeps...here there and everywhere!!!! xoxox

much love and light for this moment

My beautiful 'beings of light' would like to share this during a time of 'giving thanks':

2010-11-24T16:19:00.000-05:00

My beautiful 'beings of light' would like to share this during a time of 'giving thanks':

Give thanks not to the maker, but to you the one that has been made.
Give thanks to your world, for it is your world that holds you up in time of need. Give thanks to the trees, for they are the ones who take away your burdens.
Give thanks to the moon and the stars, for they are the ones who you look up to in your hours of need.
Give thanks to the animals, for they teach you about unconditional love.
Give thanks to those who hurt you the most, for they could not hurt you if they did not love you the most.

Finally, give thanks to you. Without you, there would be no us and without us there would be no you...You see we are all ONE.

Together we create beauty, wonder, love, and joy....Live in gratitude not just this week but for always. It is with great gratitude your heart will become free. With a free heart and an open mind the unlimited potential of your truth will become alive within your soul. Sleep well, love well, live well, and BE well.

With love and admiration to you, our 'heroes' in the flesh,

Lisa's 'magnificent peeps'

Our Thanksgiving Message

2010-11-24T16:16:00.000-05:00

Thanksgiving is a day of unity, gratitude and blessings for all that we have had, all that we do have and all that we shall receive!

This is the time when people unite with no judgment, no politics, no separation due to race, religion, creed, or ethnicity! Open your hearts to friends, family and strangers alike. Open your hearts to your friends and family from the past, those in the present and welcome in new friends to your space.

This holiday season (and everyday) it is important to mend broken fences, rise above perceived wrong doings and live in the love that you were born to be. It is a time for being in the moment and celebrating the light that YOU were born to be.
Celebrate your gifts, celebrate each other and most of celebrate YOU. For many it has been a tough rode but it has been a rode none the less and has gotten you to today. Find GRATITUDE AND THANKS!

Be thankful for those who have crossed your path. They were spiritual backpackers, as you are, just doing their thing.

As my beautiful beings of light, known as my 'Peeps', so often remind me, I will remind you too...

be bright

be beautiful

be free

be love

be you

be the music

be the air

be the space in between

be the magic

be the forgiveness you seek

be the beauty that is all around you

be the abundance

be the stars

be the light

be the answers that you seek

be patient

be calm

be faith

Road Blocks

2010-10-14T23:33:00.001-04:00

ROAD BLOCKS, looking at them like this: keeping me in check, keeping me on my path & working in my highest and best interest for all that i need not want. i will say to myself: "even though i don't understand, i will trust that EVERY ROAD BLOCK is a guard rail that is helping me reach my dreams. my higher self has my back, knows what i want and need and will get me there in divine timing & under grace"!

Inpsiration from the movie Case #39: Letting go and FEAR

2010-10-05T00:30:00.002-04:00

LETTING GO AND FEAR....

isn't it funny how it is always so easy to say but such another to walk in? i suppose if we all walked in faith all the time we would not need to be here.

fear will kick your ass and make you feel like a shell of the spirit that you are. it will test your ability to love. it will test your ability to give. it will test your ability to be in the moment. it will test your ability to find freedom. it will test your ability to LIVE!

FEAR...some people seek it out, thrill seekers, some people fear nothing they say. i think that at times, we all fear something. i think that if we are honest with ourselves we can find a little something something inside of us that scares us even if it is just a little. that fear keeps us safe so we don't do stupid things...if you had no fear what would you do????? exactly...IT KEEPS US ALIVE TOO! example, if we touch a hot stove and get burned once we learn to fear putting our hands on a hot stove so we don't get burned again...FEAR is knowledge that leads to wisdom if you follow the path....but man the first time HURTS!

some people use that FEAR as a platform to spring board through to the next chapter, some people shut down completely and are afraid to move, then like most of us we fall somehow in the middle. we disguise it, right it off, ignore it in the hopes that it will go away, yell at it, damn it and do whatever we can to NOT deal with it.

the funny thing is the more we do that...the more FeAr grows and grows until it is so big we stop breathing...we freeze. we have no power anymore...our life line is numb!

did you know that fear can not hurt you. it has no power over you what-so-ever. the only power that fear has is the power and the fuel we give it....and boy do we give it fuel...the what if's and the whens and the OMG's, and the blah blah blahs we come up with. fear laughs....it laughs and laughs bc it is winning and knows that we are afraid so we are feeding its life line...and it grows and grows until it thinks it is in control of YOU! it can tell you what to do. it bosses you around and you succumb to its every wish bc you are AFRAID of the consequences of what the fear will bring you. the fear is so real. illusion...what illusion it is ReAL...it is? no, it is not real...it is a projection of false thoughts in your mind...it can not exist unless you manifest it...YOUR truth becomes YOUR reality...create your REALITY...no one says fear has to win every time...we are just chickens...to afraid because we fear what will happen to us yet nothing will happen unless you make it happen....fear does not make it happen...we FREAK OUT!

if you look at fear and you face your fear it WILL go away...does it mean you will be overly happy... NO! sometimes it is emotional and brings up things we would rather not look at...hence the food for fear.... it means the FEAR of the fear will go away and then you can begin to do your "work". i know bc i have had to do this more than one time in my life and so have YOU!

i just saw the movie, Case 39 ....when the main character faced her fear, her "demons", they lost their power. she told them it is not not real, it is not real you are not there, it is not real....guess what....it was not there. it is not that she pushed them in or ignored them...she addressed it, walked into it, and and then came right thru it...the FEAR....was powerless.

Letting go....FEAR...duh there is FEAR! "LET GO of what no longer serves you"....we all say it and we say it all the time. What a way to sabotage and keep us from our light and from our joy. if i am a little kid and i am hanging on the monkey bars for dear life.....and all my friends say "let go", but i am afraid of what is beneath me...there is no way in hell i am going to let go! i am going to hang on until my hands bleed. if some one says "ok lisa, the ground is right underneath you and when you open your hands, you will gently and very softly and in the cradle of mother earths hands where you fall into love and warmth...you bet i will LET GO...but FEAR will never let us hear that. fear will say, YOU ARE GOING TO FALL LISA". so forget it...ill hold on thank you very much!

i have yet to find an answer that makes me not afraid to LET GO.... i propose the word 'accept'. when i am hanging onto the monkey bars and my friends are saying, "ok lis....we have to go in now and i LET GO....i acceptated, in that moment, there is nothing to be afraid of and i theeennnnn LET GO!

FAITH: you already are the faith. you already are the strength. you are the courage and the love. the illusion is binding you to the "fear".

the fear: you need to know what is is, learn from it and thank it for showing up so that you can move forward without it. it made you a fighter, it gave you confidence,it showed you that you are a bad ass and someone to not mess with, it gave to you what your soul was trying for years to make you see. we dont see it bc it is easier to unconsciously look the other way....who wants to go through that right????

YOU already have what it is you need.

do not let go...as that will put you in more fear...who the hell wants to let go right???? i know if i have to let go i have fear....fear of falling fear of smashing on the ground.. fear fear fear.....no letting go...only being with what scares you. owning who you are in your heart and instead accepting whatever it is, know that everything is moving around you and YOU will always be OK.nothing is going to hurt you EVER if you dont allow it too.

again easier said than done and boy that fear is somethin' else. :) its only a fear my love...only a fear....we can do this i keep hearing...

when you see the movie, Cast #39...btw, i hate those movies because they scare me ( i hated every minute i was there and wished i was at a comedy). reflecting back on the movie i learned a lot....look at the "demons" as your own...how yours show up in your life, what do they look like, how do you let them take your life from you and finally see how to overcome them! who would have thought....THAT movie would teach so much about letting go, fear and finding peace...i suppose hiding in LISA'S WORLD all the time will only give me what i already know....we have to be uncomfortable to see what the message is right in front of us....

Silver Lining: YOU WILL BE SOOOO PROUD OF YOURSELF for seeing what you are really MADE of...strength, courage, perseverance and LOVE!

here is to ACCEPTANCE AND LIVING!

ok they do look much better in person i have to say! this pic does not do them justice!

the birds are me and my 2 kids:
the two coming from the one. beautiful, unique and colorful! they are learning to ...fly, taking off and and having their own experiences, flying in different directions and finding their wings to be what they want...free..rising up and above from where they came from.... each bird is different but still a bird all from one..it is birth, it is flight, it is rising above, it is freedom, it is life and living!

the one on my neck:
the star (some say a Jewish star) are 2 triangles that represent "as above so below"...overlapping the two triangles...because after all there is no there and here...there only is everywhere! remember the venn diagram from math? lol the infinity represents the space in between that holds both above and below, the space that overlaps and the connection to all that is between the two...it is infinite.

the dots around the symbol of "as above so below"...connects all that is...it is the circle of life encompassing all...telling a story...and helping us to remember that everything comes full circle if we just believe: FAITH!

the symbols help me to remember that i am one, i am safe, i am goddess, i am the sun, i am light, i am love, i am beauty, i am whole, i am a force, i am all knowing and a force within myself:

the symbols around the outside are:

OM:
signifies divinity and the oneness of all the creations of God.

Fleur de Lis:
I have always loved this symbol...means "flowers of the lilly" although some say it is an iris...which are one of my favorite flowers, the lis is short for lisa (flower of lis and i LOVE FLOWERS), and has been used to represent French royalty. It also signifies perfection, light and life which i love.

Ankh:
always drawn to the Egyptians...some say it is the key of life, eternal life, to me it is just something that feels part of me and honestly in my mind today...i dont really feel it but ALWAYS feel 'guided' to call upon it...must be past life! lol

The Eye of Horus: a powerful symbol of protection and the "all seeing eye". It is also associated with the falcon ( with the birds again and goddess energy. It's a symbol of the Sun, and it was also called eye of Ra (by the Egyptian Sun god, Ra). The falcon's left eye represents the Moon.

so there you have it....a little bit about me!

go figure....wait until my mom sees it....oh vey! lol
but she will like the "Jewish star" idea....i think!
no...thinkin NOT SO MUCH! haha

The Full Moons Message from Spirit

2010-07-25T23:30:00.002-04:00

"you can't bring in all the possibilities of the new....until you let go of the past". i keep hearing this in my head!

the past can only bog you down. you can not move as fast into the future. the future holds your dreams! it holds amazing possibilities ! im thinking that is how the full moon can help YOU tonight!!!

“Letting go isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of a new life.” Author unknown.

by letting go, you are choosing to decide that your future is more important that your past bc the past is just that.... i suppose that WE ALL have the CHOICE TO DECIDE...that life is worth the choice....we can not go back...so how to let go is a CHOICE we make to free ourselves from regret, pain, memories...we miss the NOW by living in the THEN! :( ugh HUMANITY.

seems so easy and we all say it to each other do flippantly...but the truth is, when it is your turn to do the work....well it is not so easy....if we let the full moon pull out from us the inner pains that we feel...maybe we will find the relief that we have been looking for. as long as we continue to hang on...we continue to feel pain.

but how? how do we just sit still in all our pain and just allow the" FULL MOON to pull from us" all the pain and hurt we have been carrying around in us sometimes for decades????

how do we sit still for this "cosmic, unexplainable, surgery" that is going to withdraw and pull from us the toxic parts of us that are poisoning our souls?

listen, any experience is a good expereince for it teaches us to rise above and shows us what we are made of, right? but for those of us (and i am guilty), who refuse to let go, who refuse to move on...fully, who refuse to admit that maybe just maybe their lives could be better if only they could release the past... we are getting NO WHERE fast!....

"it takes time. it takes perseverance. it takes courage. it takes belief. it takes strength"....you know what??? blah blah blah.... IT TAKES MAKING A CHOICE right now....to choose the future fully no MATTER WHAT THAT ENTAILS and what that brings to the table for YOU!

it comes down to a SIMPLE thing called a CHOICE! it takes coming to a place within yourself where there is just nowhere else to go. a place that leaves no other options than to stay where you are and have been...or to choose to let go and be free and happy. are you happy with EVERYTHING in your life? have you no regrets? have you let go of all past hurt and resentment and anger and jealousy, and greed, and fear, and self esteem crap, etc...if so you can stop reading now and congratulations!

but for most of us, we don't know what that means to let go. we only know what we know. that perceived knowing which becomes our reality which keeps us frozen in our own hell. use the full moon energy to de-thaw your outer frozen barrier that keeps you trapped inside your hell. to melt your armor. to thaw your cold ice exterior.

it is only when this beautiful full light in the sky, that illuminates the darkness and the dark parts of our soul...can we truly see the light that it shines within our soul.

use the light to see your beauty. as you let go, allow the light to fill up the dark places that once kept you paralyzed in fear; fear of the unknown, fear of being alone, fear of not having enough money, fear of not being healthy, fear of success...fear fear fear!!!!

USE the light to fill the dark parts so that you can see there is NO THING to be afraid of. that all we fear is fear itself. fear does not exist...it simply is a projection of the dark parts of our soul. use the light of the moon to light your up so you can see clearly. so you are not afraid anymore. so you are not in fear of ANYTHING ever again. it is when you use the TOOL of the moons full light energy that we have been given...can you finally release what you no longer need. AWWWWWW sweet release!

we need to let go and let god. we need to let go and let our higher selves. we need to let go and trust ourselves. we needs to let go and trust that spirit will always lift us up and offer salvation when you ask.
although....you only need for what you 'think' therefore fear you do not have.....need for nothing and be everything! there is not letting go...there is only being a part of the NOW!

know that you are loved. that you are light. that you are not alone. that your letting go helps me to let go and my letting go helps you to let go...and together we will let go and soar to heights that only the gods have dreamed of....it is time to let go and be free!

This question was asked of me during a show by a wonderful listener:

2010-07-18T10:25:00.002-04:00

This question was asked of me during a show by a wonderful listener:

Hi Lisa.. great topic..

Dear God..Spirit - Why do humans need to be challenged with extreme housing,
poverty and basic human needs limitations, imbalances.. to learn in this earth school..

Thank you for the topic!

The answer:

because it seems the only way we can truly understand the whole is to expereince it all.

we don't NEED too, but of course that is the way we collectively, as humans, choose to do it. until the collective changes we are all part of the herd mentality because we are part of the collective.

as far as 'school'....school implies that we are learning something we don't already know....why would be learning all that we already are? makes no sense why we call it that...the hear mentality says it ans we follow it. are we really any different than the herd????

it is about remembering who we are, not learning what we are. i went to school to learn to read...not because i needed to be reminded how to read...because i did not know how to read and they taught me.

BIG difference....the 'lesson' that we are here to "learn" is not so much a lesson. it is about remembering...compassion, love, gratitude, tolerance, forgiveness...all that we are....we are also human and we need to honor the humanness and know that that is a part of who we are...kind of like ego...we can not damn it for it is a part of who we are.

it is to find love for humanity and embrace all the humans...good bad and ugly! haha

we are what we are...duality, love, perceived good, perceived bad, all that is, 'spirits in spacesuits' as i say, etc...there is no good and bad and we need to stop labeling people and situations...that is ego not spirit. we are having experiences..EXPERIENCES!

spirit understands that humanity is just that...it is not good or bad only, A PART of all that is!

we are not only who we are in this lifetime. this is a part of who we are. a part of the experiences that we are having. a part of our true essence of our soul here to EXPERIENCE. a splinter of self...really so cool to look at it this way. we are not victims of life, poverty, war, etc...we are warriors of spirit. spirit taught me a long time agaon that we are the warriors. that we are the brave ones. that we are the ones we should 'worship' for we are the ones who made the trip here....WARRIORS not victims!

this brings me to choices..although for a different topic...we all have choices and personal responsibility that we refuse to accept responsibility for. everyone says that we have war, poverty, etc....then choose not to. then choose wealth, choose, to find housing, etc... I KNOW living in poverty, i KNOW being in the system, i KNOW what loss is for i have been though all of that. it is about choosing to tap into your power not your weakness...always easy...NO WAY! but a choice for sure!

underneath all of us is this amazing energy of all that is, i suppose here we call it LOVE! we need to remember who we are....not learn it! this is NOT a school....it is a place were a part of us come to remember....yes, a splinter part of who we are.

be who you were born to be....and by doing that you are holding space for others to be who they are!
again easy...depends on the moment not even the day...but possible FOR SURE! ;)

xoxo

Life is beautiful if you just allow it to show you

2010-07-14T18:34:00.001-04:00

Life is beautiful if you just allow it to show you

The beauty of being alive is that life is truly beautiful. Some days I don’t believe that either. It is a big truth to swallow. If there is one thing that I have learned is that the journey wherever it takes you is beautiful. The ups, downs and the times in the middle.

How do I know this? Because my intuition, my psychic abilities, my mediumship, my higher self, what ever you want to call it has helped show me my beauty…my inner beauty.

Through my life, my past experiences, my ups and my downs, my history I have seen my insides. Not always when I wanted it and not always the way in which I wanted it too. It happened in a way that I needed to in order to truly and fully see my strengths, my inner beauty, my empowerment and my soul. That is life…that is beautiful. It is the journey.

I have been thrown many curve balls…some even hit me. It is within those curve balls that I was able to see how hard I was able to hit. Not just hit it…but also knock it out of the ballpark. How else does one know they can hit unless a pitch is thrown right? That is beauty. That is powerful.

One of the things I learned was that if something truly does not kill you it will for sure make you stronger. Whether that be an illness/disability, a death of a loved one, financial difficulties, divorce, loss of a job, or a move that you did not expect. These are the things in life that have made my life beautiful. Sounds backwards I know…trust me I know. Beauty in pain is not what I am saying. I am saying that if you change your perception of your experiences you will then see the beauty of all that is. You will see that your own life and experiences have been the beauty of life.

Beauty they say is only skin deep. I believe that beauty is soul deep and it is up to each and every one of us to allow our soul beauty to shine. When we are scared, lonely, desperate, alone, or just feeling plan old bad…that is an opportunity for us to go within and look within our soul and allow that “inner rockstar” beauty out.

I believe that we are all psychic, intuitive and mediums and that we are all here to allow the “inner rockstar” and beauty of our soul to shine. If you allow your natural intuition, your mediumship and your psychic abilities to surface they will become your guideposts and your rode map to your own life. We all have all the “gift” of intuition if you choose to allow that light to shine your perception of life will be guaranteed to be different. Whether you work on Wall Street, are a minister in a church, or actively working as a psychic, you are breathing, you are “psychic” you are breathing. We are all the same. We are all one and as I say on my show, “if you are breathing you are psychic”. My journey has been full of ups and downs, good times and bad times but all they were just times.

It is not important the emphasis that we put on good and bad as much as we just define them as times. Nothing more and nothing less. That is how you find the beauty of life? You listen, you observe, you witness, you love, you get to know you. Life is beautiful allow it to show you.

Bubbles, Bubbles In The Sky

Bubbles, Bubbles In The Sky

Poking Bubbles in the sky

My, oh my, what a joyous time
Seeing bubbles appear in the sky

I bring joy
I bring love
I bring peace
To you my beautiful pride.

You are my love
You are my joy
You are everything through my eyes.

How I love thee,
How I love….
Only you will ever know
my love for thee.

What is in each bubble in the sky?
Your hopes
Your dreams
Your joy delight
All floating in the air tonight.

What do you wish for?
What do you ache for?

It is all up there you know,
All you have to do is look up
And poke
The bubbles in the sky!

I am there...

2010-07-14T18:31:00.001-04:00

Do you need Me ?
I am there.

You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.

I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not understand My works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.

Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me
as I AM, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

Yet I am here. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need ME, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.

I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
I am in you, and you are in Me.
Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for
only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine".
Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.

Empty your heart of empty fears.
When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.
You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.
And I AM in all.

Though you may not see the good, good is there, for
I am there. I am there because I have to be, because I AM.
Only in Me does the world have meaning;
only out of Me does the world take form;
only because of ME does the world go forward.

I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.
I am the love that is the law's fulfilling. I am assurance.
I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by.
I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance.
I am your peace. I am ONE with you. I am.

Though you fail to find ME, I do not fail you.
Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never
wavers, because I know you, because I love you.

Beloved, I AM there.

Walls

2010-07-14T18:30:00.001-04:00

October 15, 2006

Walls

Walls, Walls, Walls, what do they tell you? What are they for? Do they protect us or keep us from our destiny? Are they the protector or the protection? So many questions, so little time. So little questions, so little time! Walls, the Great Barrier Reef amongst people. Walls, a place we all gather and commune. A place we visit often, but why? Why meet at the wall? Why the wall? What is at the wall that we all join there? What does it offer to us? What does it hold from us? What is beyond the great barrier that we call the wall?

A wall! Is it soft or stone? High or low? Thick or thin? A wall! What is it made of? It is nothing more than what you, we, made it. Is it not made of the same material that you are? Sure you say it is energy, and atoms, and cells, and neutrons. We say does it matter what it is made of? It is the same as you.

You can walk through it if you want. J For the wall has the same properties that the air has, and you seem to be able to move that easily, no?

So by deduction, if the wall is the same as the air, and the air can be moved through easily, can you not walk through the walls? You can you know. The only reason that you can’t is because you were told that you could not; you have been told that it is not possible.

A wall! It is just a wall. Walk through it, walk around it, walk over it, or walk under it. For it is just a wall, nothing more and nothing less.

A wall….ahhh a wall. Beautiful in creation because it is part of you. When it is no longer there, it is just as beautiful as before because it is still a part of you. Walk with, walk without, the beauty is still the same.

It is the same because it really does not matter since it is all the same you see.

Walk with or without the wall, and your journey will be the same either way. Your destiny will be the same either way. So you ask, “if it does not matter, why even have this discussion?”

And we ask the same question of you, “ If it does not matter, why bother having them at all?”

Much love and light,

Lisa J. Smith

Freedom Lives In Your Heart

2010-07-04T10:18:00.000-04:00

Freedom lives in your heart, not in your mind

FREE
REIGN
EVOLVING IN
EVERY
DOUBT
OF THE
MIND

YOUR FREEDOM THAT YOU LONG FOR LIVES IN THE HEART, NOT IN THE MIND.

YOU ARE A PILLAR OF STRENGTH, OF HONESTY, OF COURAGE, OF RESILIENCE. YOU ARE THE NAME OF A GREAT WARRIOR…A WARRIOR UNLIKE NO OTHER WHO IS HERE TO REMEMBER YOUR STRENGTH.

TO REMEMBER WHY YOU ARE HERE WILL CHANGE YOUR BEING, TO RE-KINDLE THE PASSION THAT RESIDES IN YOUR SOUL…THAT HAS ALWAYS RESIDED IN YOUR SOUL.

YOU; A BEING OF GREAT WISDOM AND INSIGHT. ALTHOUGH AFRAID, AFRAID OF THE ONLY THING YOU WILL EVER TRULY KNOW…YOUR HEART. AFRAID OF YOUR GREAT POWER, AFRAID TO UNLEASH YOUR POWER FROM FEAR OF BEING UNABLE TO CONTROL IT AS IF A GREAT DRAGON WAS BEING RELEASED FROM ITS CHAINS.

DO NOT BE AFRAID. DO NOT BE AFRAID. WE ONLY SEND YOU WHAT IT IS YOU CAN HANDLE, BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS DON’T YOU?

THE FEAR THAT LIVES IN YOUR MIND WILL NUMB YOU. IT WILL KEEP YOU COLD AND WILL PARALYZE YOU FROM YOUR GREATNESS…

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, REMEMBER! FOR ALL OF YOUR WARRIOR SWORDS ARE KEPT SAFE, VERY SAFE. NO HARM WILL COME TO THEM…DO NOT BE SO ANXIOUS TO RECEIVE THEM, FOR THEY ARE GOING NOWHERE. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SAFE…ALWAYS

YOUR SWORDS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE A GREAT WEAPON, BUT ARE A TROPHY OF YOUR PERSEVERANCE, YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR COURAGE. FOR WHEN YOU SLAY THE GREAT DRAGON IN YOUR MIND, THE SWORDS WILL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU AS A REMEMBRANCE OF WHO YOU ARE. DO NOT USE THESE SWORDS TO SLAY THE DRAGON, USE YOUR BARE HANDS, YOUR HEART, AND YOUR WILL.

WE WILL TELL YOU THIS, IT MUST BE WITH A GENTLE YET FIRM HOLD AND THEN THE DRAGON WILL BE DESTROYED. YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO THIS AND TAKE YOUR DRAGON DOWN; THE BELIEF IN YOUR TRUTH IS WHAT WILL SLAY ALL YOUR DEMONS.

YOUR BELIEF IN US IS NOT QUESTIONED. WE KNOW THAT YOU BELIEVE, WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE INTUITION, WE KNOW OF THE THOUGHTS, THE DREAMS, THE ‘SYNCHRONICITY’, THE 'PSYCHIC PHENOMENA' THAT YOU EXPERIENCE, THE HEALING THAT YOU DO. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU TRUST IN THAT, WE ARE ASKING YOU TRUST IN YOURSELF. TO TRUST IN WHAT IT IS THAT LIES INSIDE OF YOU AND IS SLOWLY BECOMING AWAKE. YOU HAVE AWAKENED THIS GREAT DRAGON YET AT THE SAME TIME YOU SING IT A LULLABY TO MAKE IT GO BACK TO SLEEP FOR FEAR OF NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH IT WHEN IT IS AWAKE…WHICH WAY DO YOU WANT IT TO BE? IT IS YOUR CHOICE AS YOU KNOW…CHOOSE WISELY...AND NOT FROM YOUR FEAR IF YOU ARE TO REGAIN THE CUSTODY OF YOUR BELOVED SWORDS.

YOU HAVE ALREADY FOUGHT MANY GREAT BATTLES IN THIS LIFETIME. AS WELL AS OTHERS. ARE YOU READY FOR ANOTHER ONE?

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PREPARE? WE ARE PREPARED TO GIVE YOU WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU NEED. USE YOUR WISDOM TO ASK FOR THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE RIGHT SITUATION. YOU DO GOOD WORK DEAR ONE, GOOD WORK. YOU MAKE US PROUD. FOR AS YOUR PROGRESS, WE PROGRESS AND WE HONOR YOU FOR HELPING ALL OF US IN OUR JOURNEY.

WHAT DOES YOUR SOUL LOOK LIKE? IT IS BRIGHT…VERY BRIGHT! IT IS WARM AND SOFT AND YET ALWAYS COOL AND COLLECTIVE. IT IS SOOTHING AND BUBBLY, YET BALANCED. IT IS SINCERE AND ALWAYS A FRIEND TO ALL THAT IT MEETS. IT IS BRAVE AND WISE, YET GENTLE AND KIND.

BEAUTIFUL IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT WHEN EXPLAINING THIS BEAUTIFUL(AND WE LAUGH B/C IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN YOUR BEAUTY) BEING WE CALL YOU. YOU TRULY ARE A GIFT TO ALL THAT YOU COME ENCOUNTER WITH, IT IS A SHAME THAT SO MANY DO NOT SEE THIS. YOU ARE VERY DIFFERENT IN YOUR NATURAL STATE OF ENERGY THAN YOU ARE IN THE PHYSICAL, YET SO MUCH THE SAME. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SHOW THAT PART OF YOU. DO NOT MASK THE BEAUTY THAT LIES WITHIN YOUR SOUL. YOUR CREATOR DEPENDS ON YOU TO SHINE YOUR LIGHT BRIGHT…FOR WHEN IT SHINES WE ALL SHINE.

YOUR CHILDREN ARE JUST AN EXTENSION OF SOURCE…CREATED AS AN EQUAL PART TO ALL THE OTHERS. PLEASE SEE YOUR BEAUTY IN THESE FRESH PSYCHICAL CREATURES FOR THEY COME FROM YOU AND YOU COME FROM US AND WE COME FROM THE WHOLE.

THEY ARE HERE TO LEARN THEIR OWN LESSONS, THEIR OWN VALUES AND THEY ARE TO EXPERIENCE THEIR OWN ‘TESTS’ AS YOU CALL THEM IN EARTH. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT OTHER BEINGS INCLUDING YOUR CHILDREN, THEY WILL BE FINE, AS YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE. ALLOW THEM TO FLY BUT TEACH THEM BOUNDARIES SO THEY KNOW WHERE IT IS SAFE TO FLY.

FOR THOSE YOU HOLD DEAR TO YOUR HEART:
YOUR WORRYING ABOUT THOSE THAT YOU LOVE THE MOST HOLDS THEM, AS WELL AS YOU, BACK FROM YOURS, AND FROM THEIR TRUTHS. THEY WILL BE FINE, AS THEY ARE A SPARK FROM THE DIVINE LIGHT AND A VERY BRAVE AND STRONG SOUL IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. WHEN YOU HOLD YOURSELF BACK FROM YOUR TRUTH, YOU ARE HOLDING OTHERS BACK FROM THEIR. WE SAY THIS OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER, BUT HONESTLY WE ARE ALL ONE AND WHAT YOU DO AFFECTS THE WHOLE.

YOU ARE LOVED, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU ARE STRONG. LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE AND DO NOT BE AFRAID OF WHAT YOU LOVE OR OF YOUR PASSION…FOR THAT IS YOUR LIFE.

DO NOT WAIT FOR WHAT IT IS YOU DESIRE…DO NOT WAIT…WAITING IS A SIGN OF ‘BETTER THINGS TO COME’ OR ‘THINGS WILL BE BETTER DOWN THE ROAD.’ THERE IS NO LATER, THERE IS NO DOWN THE ROAD, THERE IS ONLY RIGHT NOW…NOW. LIVE AND BE FREE!

LIVE! LIVE! LIVE YOUR LIGHT, LIVE YOUR TRUTH, BE YOUR LIGHT AND AS WE TELL YOU OVER AND OVER,‘BE THE LIGHT THAT YOU ARE PUT THERE TO BE, BE THE TRUTH THAT YOU ALREADY ARE, BE THE BEAUTIFUL CREATURE OF GOD THAT YOU WERE PUT THERE TO BE, BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE…. BUT FOR GOODNESS SAKE, JUST BE’.

KNOW WE LOVE YOU. WE LOVE YOU!

YOUR WHOLE GANG ON THE OTHER SIDE…WHO HAS MUCH LOVE, ADMIRATION AND RESPECT FOR YOUR JOURNEY!

DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU WE LOVE YOU AGAIN…. BECAUSE WE WILL.

WE WILL TELL YOU EVERYDAY, ALL DAY, FOR THE REST OF THIS LIFETIME AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT ARE SURE TO COME. YOU ARE OUR SOUL AND WE ARE YOURS…HOW CAN WE NOT LOVE YOU! WE WANT TO SING IT FROM ROOFTOPS AND TELL ALL THE WORLDS OF YOUR TRUTH, OF YOUR HEART AND HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU DEAR ONE.

2010-07-04T10:17:00.000-04:00

Write an article.

“About what?” I thought.

Everything has been written and everything has been said. I have nothing new to say, add or teach.

I heard, “Write…just write. Write like there is no tomorrow and write like there was no yesterday…just write.”

So here I sit and I am going to write, again about what, I do not know.
“Write about what you love. Write about why you love it? Write about how it has helped you? Write about why you do what you do,” I heard again.
So here it goes:

I love all that is, whatever that is, some days I do not know why.
I love that just when the bottom feels like it is going to fall out, something miraculously shows up and saves the day.
I love the mystery of the Universe, but the knowing at the same time.
I love that people don’t understand who they really are. I love that when they finally begin to wake up they have a glisten in their eye and for first time and they feel so alive. They feel full of hope, love and light.
I love helping to make someone, who is having a crappy day, feel better by giving them a different perspective, that I usually get from a higher place.
I love that life is everything and nothing at all what we think it is.
I love that the people in our lives are not at all who we think they are, but everything they are supposed to be.
I love the smell of the flowers.
I love the smell of oranges.
I love the smell of the rain.
I love the smell of my kids.
I love that I am alive and I can smell all of these things.

When I talk with people who are no longer here I realize these are the things they miss, the wonderment and beauty of all that is because the knowing takes away the surprise.

I love it because there is no other way to describe the human emotions that we have, sometimes all at once.

I love that we can cry, laugh, be sad and feel gratitude all at one time.
I love that we are able to forgive.
I love that we are able to do remarkable things when we just learn to trust.
I love that we have choices.
I love that we are the center of our own Universes.
I love that although we may live in different parts of the world, there really is no time and space.
I love that people have the amazing ability to mold themselves into anything that they want to be at any given moment.
I love that we each have this amazing ability to be connected to all that is, including hearing, feeling, seeing, tasting and knowing, at any given time.
I love all of that.

Knowing what I know has helped me in ways that I never would have expected. Somewhere through devastating times I found my voice, my courage, my strength and my passion. I found this priceless gem that lies within my being.

Finding this nugget of truth has helped me live with an open heart, accept change more graciously, know that I have choices, not feel like a victim and live a more empowered life. It has allowed me to accept what I cannot change, it has allowed me to let go of people and situations knowing that nothing is what I think it is. It has allowed me to being a new chapter in my life, MY WAY.

I am forever grateful for whatever time I have spent here on this planet for it is shaping me into the “ROCKSTAR” I was born to be.

I do what I do because this is who I am, this is who I was born to be and this was I do.

Now it is your turn.
Who are you?
What do you love?
Why do you love it?
Write about how it has helped you?
Write about why you do what you do.

Remember, wherever in the world you are, I am too. I wish you nothing but love, light and peace in all of your moments. Until next time, this is Lisa J. Smith.

Roots and Branches

2010-01-31T13:56:00.000-05:00

Ahhh…my dear child, you ask of Roots and I tell you of strength.

For the roots are the strength of who you are. They nourish the soul. They anchor you to the

Earth and they teach you to fly.

You ask of the wind and I tell you of freedom.

You ask me of branches and I teach you wisdom and knowledge. For a tree starts solid

because of its firm stable roots.

The trunk represents your core, your solid base.

And ahhh…. you ask of the branches. The branches teach the lessons. They grow and they

intersect without warning or notice. They take the brunt of the wind and cold of the rain. They

are the first to feel the heat on a hot summer day. They are the first to feel anything and

everything. The branches are the truth of who we are. Unlike the roots, which are so strong, the

branches are much weaker, or are they?

The roots stay covered up for no harm can reach them. The branches are strong and exposed

to all. They feel, they breathe, they move.

Ask a tree a question, and see how it responds.

It is through the leaves and the branches that a tree will take away your pain. It passes your

pain and fears thru to its core, into the roots, for there it is planted into mother earth.

It is there that she cradles and rocks the roots to sleep as in a sweet lullaby. She protects them

from harm with her beautiful soil as a mother covers her children at night. For she is the mother to

the trees.

The trees with all there glory are wisdom, knowledge, and power to us.

The trees tell a story if you look at their branches. They have lived for many lives and have much

to teach and tell.

What do they tell you? What do you hear?

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among followers, gives not of their wisdom, but rather of their faith and lovingness.

If they are indeed wise, they do not bid you enter the house of their wisdom, but rather lead you to the threshold of your own mind.

For the vision of one person lends not its wings to another.

And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in their knowledge of God and their understanding of the earth

Let it be....

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Written by Lisa J. Smith
Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.
1/19/09

I had a dream…

My dream was:
For unity
For peace
For oneness
For love

For all people, all Americans, to unite under One flag.

Regardless of:

How much money you have
What ‘class’ you live in
What car you drive
What job you hold
Or the color of your ‘skin’

To unite…. to create change.
To teach your children, our children, that love and unity is all binding.

I often say, “there is only one truth and there is only one love.”. With that said there is only one American. The American that holds their neighbor’s hand, holds their neighbors back up straight and holds their own shoulders back.

Let us not talk about a ‘black president’. Let us talk of one nation under God, one nation, with God, one nation and one nation only.

Regardless of your ‘skin’ color, your ‘race’ or your ‘social standing’, in your community you stand together and UNITE.

Unite for one God, One being, ONE…the one of all that is.

Let us stand proud, let us be proud, and let us love thy neighbor as if thy neighbor is you.

Stand and be proud.

You ask if I am proud? I am proud of only one thing and one thing only and that’s the movement forward into unity and into love.

Each and every one of you…STAND next to your neighbor…embrace your neighbor and love thy neighbor.

No race, class, or military rank separates you from another.

You are equal. I am equal. We are equal. For it is your fear of loss of control, fear of change, fear of lack that keeps you from moving forward.

NOW is the time to celebrate your unity.
Move from hope into action.
Move from separation into oneness.
Move from hate into love.
Move from fear into greatness.

The time is NOW.

We can!
You can!

WE YOU = ONE

It’s not about the ‘black man’. It’s about the movement forward into unity and one nation under God.

Quote about Lisa J. Smith:

“You speak your words for people to hear, to heal themselves, and that is the greatest service to man kind. That is what you do! You speak your words for people to HEAR.

People heal themselves from what they HEAR through your words and through your words people heal”.

Beautiful words simply put....

Just for today~

Seek no contacts and you will find many
Be still and you will move forward on the tide of Spirit
Be gentle and you will need no strength
Be patient and you will achieve all things
Be humble and you will remain entire
Close your eyes and you will see clearly
Cease to listen and you will find truth
Be silent and your heart will sing

~A Taoist Meditation

Serenity Prayer

2010-01-14T17:22:00.000-05:00

This has helped me so much with the transition of my family, loss in my life, changes in my life that i had no control over and brought me peace and serenity.

i hope it helps you too!

God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.

Setting the stage to create the life you desire~

2010-01-14T16:46:00.000-05:00

in radio we have a saying......setting the stage and resetting the stage.

by setting and resetting the stage for the next 'segment' the listener knows what to expect in that segment and what is coming up. if they are just tuning in they know what is happening within in the show and what will be coming up.

well the angels tell me today that we need to spend more time setting and resetting our stages. as life brings us changes we need to be able to keep up with all the energies that are all around us.

in order to keep up we need to stay connected with spirit, connected with self and continually set the stage for what we want by telling them what it is we expect.

i hope this helps you as it helped bring me clarity and insights in a fresh new way with a fresh new perspective.

time to get clear, be exact and precise. if you do not know, then you do know and the is OK...sit within the 'not knowing' until that energy passes.

as a wise guide said to me once, "there is a lot of wisdom in the clouds....when the clouds part, the sun will come out and the skies will become clear again".

much love and light to each of you~

Fathers day 2009

2009-06-18T15:46:00.000-04:00

A message channeled from Lisa’s guides, known as her “peeps” for Fathers Day 2009

Fathers, fathers, fathers, oh our beautiful fathers of light.

Oh a day to celebrate the birth of the father. This is the celebration of the other half of you. Is it any coincidence that we are both masculine and feminine in a world where balance is a universal law? Are we not all both masculine and feminine? In essence, this holiday weekend we are celebrating the wholeness of ourselves as a collective part of all that is. The male, the female and the oneness of all there is together.

When we speak of father energy we speak of the energy of business, control, take charge, action and the forced mind. You all have this within you. Many do not know that they have this within and feel victimized and powerless without choice. This is nothing more than the human mind. The truth is you are anything but.

You see mother is the divine feminine. She is the gift from above that nourishes the soul and creates harmony within the world for all to run smoothly from a motherly place. If we live in a world where everything is balanced then we need the divine masculine for the other side to be the action. Together we are one.

The male, known as the father energy, is stable, grounded, focused, willing to take chances and to take charge. The father energy, regardless of human gender, is within each of you. This is the part of each of you that gets things done, focuses your action energy and co creates with the mother energy for balance. Oneness!

So many ask how do we go into action? You all want to create and manifest your dreams. How do you do this? We encourage you to call in the divine masculine energy to reach your goals in order to manifest and create that which you want. The divine feminine will nourish your dreams…your father will put them into action. Give thanks this weekend for that part of you.

We cannot leave you beautiful souls without addressing your loved ones who have ‘crossed over’. We know that there are many of you who are missing your beloved fathers, brothers, sons, husbands and grandfathers this Fathers Day weekend.

Know that your loved ones are never far and they are always willing to assist you in what ever it is that you need them to.

Yes their form may have changed but the love; the connection to you and the essence of their soul remains forever the same.

We encourage you to feel. We encourage you to send love. We encourage you to build your foundation of what you know as your truth and move into the unknown. This is where you will build beautiful bridges between this world and the ‘heavenly’ world of the so called ‘ever after’.

Know that you fathers, your grandfathers, your husbands, your brothers and your sons feel your love. They feel your light. They feel your energy. They only want for you to celebrate with a happy heart this “holiday weekend”. Please do not mourn the loss of your loved ones this Fathers Day weekend. Celebrate the endless love that encompasses all beings, all living creatures even those in another form

You are loved from this side and the ‘other side’. Wherever you go…we, they, all of us walk together and unite in peace, love and light.

We encourage you to celebrate the life that YOU are living in the now. Do not mourn for what you do not have. Celebrate what you do have. Celebrate this weekend for you are still ‘living’. As you celebrate your lives today your loved ones on the other side will celebrate theirs as well.

Be well our friends and prosper! For you are the divine beings of light and love.

Lisa’s beloved and wonderful peeps that celebrate joy in all their moments…for joy is all there is!

P.S.
For all those who may have challenging relationships with loved ones in your lives today, know that they love you. “People” have a hard time showing emotions and truths at times. The goal in challenging relationships is to always remember love for thy self. You can be sure that even though love can be hard to show for some it is true that love really is all there is underneath all of it. You are loved and that is all there is to it!

52 weeks

2009-05-25T01:04:00.000-04:00

What to say...What to say? Another day, another night....and here we are... things so different or so much the same?

Hmmmm.....What a difference a year makes. It is so hard to believe that 52 weeks can change so much. My life was so different....or was it so much the same and I have changed?

Most likely I have changed, my perception has changed, my attitude and outlook have changed and yes, I suppose things have changed too. Maybe I let go, maybe I just don';t care about what used to get to me, maybe the lessons of the last year were like 'spiritual boot camp' and here I stand stronger and prouder.

So, where were you last year at this time? I was sitting on the bathroom floor wondering how in the world I was going to get up for another round....I honestly believe that I had the 'dark night of my soul' that night. So much pain and hurt. To much for anyone person to bare to tell you the truth...yet I did it. I am here...TODAY in this moment...I am here and never happier, more peaceful and calm within me. Don't get me wrong I still have my moments. lol lol lol

I was shedding and getting rid of old musty baggage that I did not need. Would have been nice to know that then ...for what I know now would have been very helpful to say the least. Funny how that works huh? I mean I get it, why it works that way, but it would have made that 'trip' a little easier for sure.

Today, I sit here in total amazement of me. How I pulled through the worst times of my life and have managed to be so happy, positive and up beat. How did I do that? I honestly have no idea. I did it though! I did with the help of good friends and an amazing "job" that gives me hope and healing.

I was a mess...a 'hot mess' as my friend says. I did not think I would make it another day...yet here I am . Alive, happy, well, and full of hope and and inspiration. Is everything ideal and perfect...no not really. I guess, 'it is what it is', as BW an old friend, used to say.

Really on paper it looks pretty grim to be honest....but I AM HAPPY! I AM PROUD! AND I MADE IT BABY!

So I ask you where were you last year at this time? Happy, sad, loved, in love? Where were you and how has your life over the past 52 weeks made you who you are today?

If you feel like I did last year...hang on baby...the BEST is yet to come! If I can do it...I KNOW you can too!

Believe because you are an amazing be-ing with incredable powers that you can never imagine!

From WE to ME!

2009-04-07T17:13:00.000-04:00

It is time to move away from the WE into the ME!

The 'W' in the 'we' holds onto all the old stuff WE don't need....turn it upside down, empty it out and you will get back to the 'ME'. The 'M' holds you together.

Trust in the ME that you will be ok.....

2009-04-06T14:32:00.000-04:00

YOU are a volunteer not a victim

2009-04-05T12:24:00.000-04:00

Today is a great day.

Depending where you are who you are or what you have going on in your life....today is a great day. I would know because in the last year I have had my butt handed to me on a shiny silver platter for the world to see.

I made it! I am here today..I made it to today!

I made it through probably the hardest of times into calmer waters. There were days I thought "There is no way I can get knocked down one more time. How much can one person take?"

I did it! Not that everyday is easy. Not that everyday does not come with its own set of challenges...because boy oh boy does it ever. The same people are in my life. The same people have not changed. The same situations present themselves to me day in and day out. What is different is me. I am DIFFERENT.

"Change your perception change your life". I say that on my radio show all the time...I know this to be true because I LIVE IT DAILY~

Remember who you are. Remember that you were born to be all that YOU were born to be. You are not what your family, your husband, your partner, your kids, your employer, society wants you to be.....it is what YOU were born to be!

It is so hard when you begin to walk...you fall, you stumble, you sometimes hurt yourself but soon you will be off and running and there will be no looking back. I am now walking....almost running....

Who knows what today will hold for me...and for you. (save the psychic jokes please) lol

Together we will run the marathon of life!

ROCKSTAR Mentality

2009-04-05T12:22:00.000-04:00

ROCKSTAR Mentality

ROCKSTAR mentality is knowing who you are, owning your stage and empowering yourself to be all that you KNOW you are but have been afraid to show it. Why are you afraid to show it? Because we are all conditioned to play small instead of big. We think by playing small we make other people feel good. Marianne Williamson talks about his in her famous quote from her book, A Return to Love, “Who are you not to be beautiful”, etc… Be a Rockstar today and everyday. You already are one so you might as well step into your truth, into yo ur power and ROCK this world with all that you have in all of your moments. This is WHY you are here.

Who are you?

2009-04-04T21:32:00.000-04:00

Who are you? Well who are you not?

You are everything. You are the sun and the moon and the stars and the trees. You are the rain and the clouds and the wind and the ocean.You are the beauty of everything and the nothingness of all that is. You are beautiful. You are magnificence in a physical beautiful body. You are wise. You are light. You are light. You are YOU. You are the sum of everything you have ever been yet you are only this moment. You are YOU. YOU YOU YOU! You are loved, you are never alone, you are part of me as I am part of you. Be well and smile in this moment…and the next …and the next!

What is purpose you ask?

2009-04-04T20:44:00.000-04:00

What is purpose you ask?

You have no purpose. Your only purpose is to be. Be who you are. Live your journey and be all that you are already are. There is nothing to do. There is no-where to be because you are already doing and being everything you are meant to be. YOU!When we talk about purpose you automatically go into a state of not knowing whom you are. You go into a state of maybe I “should” be doing something other than you already are doing. You go into a feeling of “oh no, I am off my path.” Well I am here to tell you there is not path. The “path” that you are on is the only path that is so how can it be wrong. This moment right now is all that there is.

ENJOY IT!
MAKE THE MOST OF IT!
BE ALL THAT YOU WERE BORN TO BE!
