...With love!
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at 11:09PM Well finally we are home from an action packed weekend in Reno and Vegas. I had a great time in both places. I spent time with friends and had fun. It's not often I get to mix business with pleasure but this time I did in both places!!! I had so much fun, but what it means is that I am tired now ;)
There have been lots of comments about the negativity that happened in Vegas, but I was expecting it. When you put yourself out in the public eye like I have done, you open yourself up to everything. Good and Bad, and you have to accept what has been said to you.
I have this motto... and I always read the emails that come into me personally and when I get the negative comments, I read them and then I hit the delete button and say, "Delete with love" and then I move on. I have never been afraid of anyones comment and that is why I leave all comments on the blog, I have always done this, otherwise I would change the settings and have all comments 'approved' but I chose not to. I have even shared with members on my site the negative blog reviews, just to show that I am not afraid of peoples opinions.
This was a huge learning curve for me. Yes I am sensitive but now my feelings have changed. People can fire whatever they want at me, and I have learnt to deflect comments but if they hurt or upset anyone close to me, then that is it... you really have hit a nerve! Kev is also that way, we are protective of those people who are in the 'bubble'
There are so many people in life that are willing to put us down and create negativity around us. It's hard to deflect it and stay strong. It's normal, but what you have to understand is that, they may not be getting at you, they may have other issues that they are dealing with and you are the outlet. They may feel jealous for what ever reason. They may not realise that they are doing it either. Yes I can make excuses for them, but what is important to realise is that you have to be who you want to be, and not let these people influence you.
As long as you know you are doing the right thing then that is all the matters. You have to stay truthful to yourself. Of course some comments hurt, but rise above things and be true to your self.
it's a lesson I had to learn early in life, and trust me it wasn't easy, but I am glad I learnt it. So be true to who you are and make your own opinions in life and be true to them. Don't let people influence you, make your own decisions and you will find that you will be stronger for this! Rise above it and smile. Share the love and heal... hold them in your heart and release... with love!
Big happy hugs
Lisa xx

Well put!!
And welcome home :D
So very true! You are a great person Lisa and put so many smiles on peoples faces! my job a a foster carer i am critisised alot but i tell myself that they dont understand and that helps me remain strong. Your words often inspire me and make my day so you just keep smiling and enjoy what you are doing. I am seeing you in Blackpool and cannot wait! Love and Hugs xxxxxx
Lisa,
I'm very sorry about the negativity you mentioned and am glad I didn't witness or hear it personally. However, let me just say that your response to it is very encouraging to me as I have sensed negative feelings around my chosen way to help others with spiritual guidance from the Akashic field to interpret their dreams. Some people just are not ready for the truth, it seems. But with your words, I have a new feeling of support and if you can handle it on stage, I believe I can handle the chat room stuff I am feeling.
All of your tour is bound to have touched more people and brought happiness to them than any momentary bad moments in the city of sin under the lights may have thrown at you. I bless your enthusiasm and dedication to share your gift so widely.
Thank you for the inspiration of the right words at the right time.

You're coming to my home state washington and I can't go to your show! :( I wish I could be there. Thanks for everything you do, and being true to yourself. :)
PEACE

Lisa,
Thanks for reminding me....
greetings

Lisa, I haven't read the comments that were made but one thing I do know from experience is that when you are the target of someones negativity it usually comes from their pain and their struggles. I truly believe it is not personal although it might feel like that at the time.
As you said, you have put yourself out there and in doing that it makes you an easier target. I think it's admirable what you do and for every negative remark I am sure you receive hundreds of postives.
I know when I watch you on TV.. my heart feels lighter and I am left feeling so happy for those you have helped move on.
I believe you are a 'true heart' that genuinely wants to help people with their pain of loss. I thank you for the hope you have given me and the happiness and peace you have given to many others.

tony robbins says that people behave either out of fear or love. so when someone is acting in a way that might be negative to get curious and ask why they would act this way. there is something about doing this that helps create a shift - at least for me.
i love your work and hope to see you live.
I read Richard & Kristine Carlson's " An Hour to Live an Hour to Love" last year which has so stuck with me.
If you wouldn't spend the last hour of your life thinking about or dealing with an issue, why waste an hour on it now???!!!
Ignore them - they are 'lucky' they have nothing else to get upset about!!
With Love
You are one of the best mediums I've ever seen, Lisa. Keep going. Dont be bothered about the negativity. You help a lot of people, but there will always be folks that cant handle what you are doing.
Lots of love from Norway.
Dear Lisa, you know how things work out in a funny way right??? yap, your blog today came in perfect time. I read it and it helped so much. just like you, I have those kind of people around me too. and yes some days its easy to say whatever. and somedays.... well not so easy. so I just want to thank you. You are a great person an amazing medium. sending you love and light. xoxo
Hi Lisa !
Try to ignore them. Some people is born evil, trust me I know. I watch every tv show you have in Norway and I LOVE it. I really wish you would come here.
Love from Kirsten Myrvold.
I totally agree with you Lisa, it is exactly as you have said. I have had my share of it too and I would scoop up any negativity as a challenge and turn it around in my favor by making it positive and by doing so, I felt that I had moved on and learnt something new, leaving those behind to stew in their negativity!
It is so unnecessary for others to put people down, however it is the easiest thing for them to do, only we cannot blame them for they don't know better. So in the end, it means that they have a problem, and the problem is theirs and not yours. It is best not to give them your time by thinking about them, although I know it does hurt, especially when you yourself are always positive, honest and never have a bad word to say to anybody.
It just means that those who don't know you and wont take the time to get to know you, are the ones losing out big time. The ones that know you for who you are and what you do, are the ones who are extremely fortunate to have you as a friend, and are the ones who value you because you mean a lot to them. So hold your chin up high and continue doing what you do so well.
Thank you Lisa, you are a truly wonderful person, hugs, Sedie xox
I love your light and needed to hear this powerful message tonight. I have been under attack lately as I have been speaking my truth and your words are both healing and empowering.
Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!
With abundant love,

Lisa...Wow you blogged this at just the right time for me to read it and learn from it. I keep trying to remind myself stuff people say are just words and their opinions and let it all roll off my back, but sometimes people can be so cruel. I just love how stuff you say, many times over, just go with my life...like your here with me in so many ways, sending some of these messages just to me. (I know its odd isnt it) Thank You so much for all you do for others. Keep up the Great Work! .... With Love n Luck Carla
"Delete with Love"... someone taught me that a while back... SO hard, but SO necessary... a great lesson. And I, too, feel VERY protective of those I love and care about! I don't mind being hurt... but I am Not okay with people I care about being hurt >=\
Great blog! <3
inspirational!
Wise words Lisa i am one of those people who does get hurt by people's comments, i need to feel loved and liked, i put this down to a very negative upbringing though i have tried to make sure my son, who is 15 in 3 weeks, thinks positive thoughts about himself. If people feel negative about you and what you do then why looking at your web site or reading anything to do with you and your work. They are very sad narrow minded people.
Keep doing what you do its fantastic, and i cannot wait to come and see you in September in Birmingham
Lots of love
Liz xx
Thanks, Lisa
Again it's a message that needs to be reinforced because it is so hard to stay strong in your own truth when you are being criticised. Another blog to cherish.
Love and Light

Dearest Lisa
I'm just off to meet my favourite therapist ...for lunch. She and I haven't spoken for over a year due to my shift in how I work,- she does not approve. So I will meet critcism, but from someone I love and respect... Still the same is true, it probably frightens her or she is indirectly not accepting that side of herself. I still have to follow my heart and what is true for me.( That was what was written on my ring that Melissa gave a reading from in Santa Monica " The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.")
So Lisa, let all the love and light from all of us who feel we know you be there when you do such wonderful healing work, especially in the midst of negativity (fear)
Sending you a little northern light from Norway
Thank you for reminding me Lisa :) You are amazing, and you bring so much light into peoples lifes. Live - love- and laugh :)
Hugs from Norway

Dear Lisa,
That is just the best philosophy EVER! I constantly fight with myself and worry about what other people think. I am now 53 years old and am on a journey of enlightenment and spirituality and it's ALL about loving yourself as part of God, and so loving everyone around you. I have also in the last six months started watching your TV shows and let me tell you, you have brought comfort to me like nothing else ever has. I always from a teenager questioned that 10% part of me that was scared there was "nothing" hereafter. My heart used to drop into my stomach with fear. I until recently still today carried that fear. You have removed it. How can that be negative? Since being introduced to you, I have begun a family journal so that my grandchildren can have something of our family history which will be alive with energy. I also have a book of Guidance by the Angels which I am reading each day. I feel so much more connected. Thank you for that. I have constantly battled with mild depression, caused I'm sure, by negative thoughts. I now am trying to open my heart, to love myself unconditionally, be unafraid to experience joy in every moment, because I am a beautiful soul, as is everyone. I thank you for that too. I can clearly see the immeasurable comfort you bring to people. Ignore the rest. Pray that they will find the light. Finally, Lisa, please come and see us in sunny South Africa. I live on the Garden Route, reported to be one of the most beautiful places in SA, which is part of the Cape coast. Come and see our beautiful Table Mountain in Cape Town. We are 5 hours drive away and will be there for sure!! I can also see that you are pretty hectic and getting more so, so I can only hope! Hopefully, our TV broadcasters will buy some more of your shows. We have only had the first two seasons, which they periodically repeat. Love being part of your circle. Keep up the good work and stay true to yourself. Best advice ever. I'm going to follow it as well. Blessings and love, Jeanette
Keep up the good work :)
I am not the kind of guy that leaves comments, but I thought I needed to put my 2 cents in,
because I feel sad that Lisa and/or her family had have any bad feelings concerning Sunday's show.
Some background points
1, I was in attendance at the Las Vegas show.
2, I am an astrologer so, I have very little psychic ability, but understand the process in detail.
3, I am a citizen of Las Vegas.
4, Sunday was my first Lisa Williams show.
I have seen a different national touring medium in Las Vegas about ten times and twice in difference cities.
This medium has had his occasional rocky show in Las Vegas, and He has said that “the energy is very difficult and selfish in Las Vegas”
I can personally state that his shows in other cities were very different from the Las Vegas events.
If you think about it, these venues are used for gambling, drinking, and who knows what other kind of vice,
so I can only imagine what a medium goes through energy wise in this city.
I have the following comment about the Las Vegas show.
1. To the people that got their readings, I know that they have had a real life changing experience .
2. There was a skeptical man that got a reading. Now he knows without a doubt on a personal basis
that the universe is a bigger place filled with love and magic. He now realizes both his and his loved one’s connection’s
are permanent and they will be reunited in the future. I know he will live his life differently for the better.
For the above reasons, I know I witnessed some minor miracles and I feel that it was a privilege to be in attendance last Sunday.
People need to realize that these shows are not performances with, well rehearsed lines, or flawless choreography.
These shows are a gifts, given on that date, time and place based on the energy we all bring.
Astrologicaly speaking Sunday was a very rocky day
I would hope and invite Lisa to return to Las Vegas , perhaps book series of dates to get your Las Vegas stride and to get used to the heat.
I will gladly see her here in Las Vegas when she returns and I will catch her show in other cities to see the energy differences (maybe Tucson in the Fall).
On a personal Note:
By watching her shows, reading her book , and following this web site. I always knew Lisa was a big talent and even bigger heart.
Also I know that this lifetime she is living is mostly for people like us, but on Sunday I was unprepared for what a beautiful and glamorous woman she is both inside and out.
Hi Lisa,
I am glad you have a thicker skin, and don't let the negatives hurt you too much (I mean you DO have feelings, for goodness sake!) But people who know you, and believe in you, feel a need to defend you because that is what people do instinctively when they see a wrong being done to someone who clearly does not deserve it!
I am glad you had a good time!
Looking forward to Santa Rosa! (yes, I am coming!)
Hugs and Love,
Cheryl
