Be strong and Believe!
Sunday, September 20, 2009 at 06:03AM Sometimes there are many things in life that come forward and knock us down and just when you think you are getting back on your feet there is something else that hits you and you take that blow again and you end up on your bum.
It's been a hard year for many people and sometimes when it's like this you have to stand up and brush yourself off again. But we find that the more times we fall the less enthusiatic we are to get back up again, and that is when you need to look forward and have something to focus on.
It could be a treat like a purchase off the internet or it could be a holiday away... what ever that is you have to believe in yourself to know that the tough times will eventually go, and the good times can come again.
You can't always live in the negative space you have to take the bull by the horns and make the changes yourself. They won't just come your way, you have to make the changes yourself, you have to do the work and create the life you want. Yes it's not easy, and sometimes there is a lot of stuff that you need to work out first but take step by step and you can and you WILL succeed, because you are taking it step by step.
So believe in yourself and know that things happen for a reason and that you can be strong and create the life that you want. Even if it is taking one day at a time. It may take a while but when you are through you can look back and know that YOU did this for YOU!
Be strong and believe!
With love

Lisa, Dear, you have an uncanny ability to write just the right thing at the right time! Thanks for the proverbial kick in the bum. Much love - see you in a month :).
Thank you so much Lisa for this very supporting and comforting blog. It is coming to me at a very needed time. Next Sunday, Sept. 27th, my angel son Nick will be turning 30 years old in Heaven. Even though he left us four years ago, time does not make the pain and grief any less as I miss and love him so much. Thank God for you and other close medium friends like John Holland who have changed me forever for good in strengthening my spirituality. In bringing through my son, I now know that he is always with me and we will be together again when it's my time to pass. You are such an angel and beautiful person. God bless Luv ya! xoxoxoxoxox

Dear Lisa, sometimes when I feel very sad, I buy myself a gift online. Only that I slowly began to realise that i was buying a bit too many gifts online. Today also, I bought myself 3 books online. Each time I tell my partner that it is the last time that I am spending on gifts. But my partner has been very kind and supportive. I have only started doing this since last month. Once I started buying myself gifts, it was almost like I could not stop. Today I was feeling very guilty. Then I read your blog and it warmed my heart. Thank you, Lisa, for your inspiring words. I am going to take steps to stop buying myself gifts too much. Currently, everything is fine and good. But if I keep buying stuff so much I might end up in credit card trouble. I guess that I need to handle the inner sadness first. My partner has been very sweet and he said that I hardly used to spend much on treats for myself before so he said nevermind and just one more time is fine. I guess that I have to take baby steps not to get addicted to things. But your blogs touch me.
with a very loving hug for you, ((((((Lisa))))))
Yes we have to believe Lisa and because of you I started to believe and start a new life and stay positive.
Thank you for these words of hope. Each day I try to experience everything that has been good and nice, the smiles I received, the calls from my friends or my family and it really helps me.
Thank you Lisa for this love coming out of you...
Take care of you,
Love,
Lise
It is so, so true and important for us all to encourage each other with this reminder when needed. I will share these words with some that I know need it today!
Love to you, Lisa!

Hi Lisa,
Like so many other people, I, too found your
blog to be almost personally aimed at me. It
has been a difficult year with the latest blow
of Kelley being laid off. Now we are both jobless
yet we know all will be well. In fact, we are
staying strong and will be going on a road trip
thru 10 states until we reach mom's in PA. We
may be jobless but we saved a lot of money and
when will an opportunity like this pop up again?
I'm putting my faith in God and the Other Side to
see us thru the tough times and so we feel like it
is ok to take this trip. So your blog was perfect for
us and we thank you. Big hugs always and see
you in Tampa!!
Steve aka Neevie. :-D
So true, Lisa!!! Thanks!!! Stay Warm!!! Much Love <3 <3 <3
Your post ... Just what I needed to touch my soul today.
I know that I need to make life happen, rather than let life happen to me. Sometimes I just need to feel that sting on my bum for a wee bit ... before I dig down and find my strength.
Loving Hugs!
Mindy
Hey there Lisa!
Another power blog girl!!! I hope you are getting some rest in between shows. You are getting amazing feedback from your shows. I am not at all surprised and am very proud of you... spreading the light and love around the world.
Oh yes, my bum does get a bit sore at times from falling. :) I realize that life is not always easy, but you are right, it is the way we handle it too. Sometimes we create the perfect negative energy field that only attract more negative. We really have to get more in touch with our energy and how we project it out to the Universe. This is so key...
With every new day there is a new opportunity to be better. We can start over whenever we choose and like you said create the life we want step by step. As I get older and experience more, I realize that this moment is the only moment that counts. This is the moment that creates the future.
Sending love and hugs to you and your family,
DS
Your words are a constant source of inspriation. Thank you Lisa. Step by step is good advice, when you try to leap you could miss something in between,or simply you just may not be ready,but each step does make you stronger in reaching inner harmony to accept and deal with life head on, good and bad. Your words are a path that can inspire all.
Terry
Thanks Lisa, good post!
Thanxx I just needed these words today.Positivity you need in life,each day is a step forward.
I hope we can once visit you in Holland Lisa.
Love from Caren
I don't know what cause you to write this, but I can't help but think that so much of this has a lot to do with what I wrote in my letter. Thank you for writing this... it is so true. Everyday can get hard for me, heck, every hour can sometimes but somehow I find the strength within myself to keep going, somehow I hold on to some kind of belief in myself that I can get through this, I can do this. It has certainly been a hard year, but bit by bit I am getting there. I know I said it in my letter, but thank you, I will always be eternally grateful for how much you have helped me, even though before last night we had never spoken. You are amazing. Thank you.
I do hope you and your family enjoy the rest of your time in Australia and New Zealand, and when your done, go home and remember that for one girl in the little city of Perth, you saved her life and she continues to breathe and fight everyday because just by doing what you do you reminded her that there are things worth fighting for.
Thank you, with all my heart and soul.
Krystal
My heart just stopped beating, I know I have already written here but I just checked my twitter, I had no idea you would actually reply, I can't believe, now I know that this blog was inspired by my letter, I am glad you were touched, I meant every word. And I will keep on track, I will believe, I know its not going to be easy but I will fight with all my heart and soul, I am going to win this battle, I am not going to let the demons of my past and mind consume me, I WILL WIN, and I know that because of this, because of my past and all that I have been through, I am going to become so much stronger, I am going to make it.
Thank you Lisa, THANK YOU!
You have no idea how much it means. Thank you
Love and enternal gratitude,
Krystal
So true:o))). Thanks for beeing who you are:o).
Love Cathy
Wow, this is exactly what I needed.
Yesterday I had one of the worst days I have ever had, and it's lovely to hear your encouraging words.
Thank you, Lisa. :]
Thank you - I needed that today :)
Haha... how cool!!!! I went shopping for the first time in 2 years, last night!!!!! It was the best night ever and made me feel human again! The struggle has to end. Even if I lose everything, I am allowed to be nice to myself every now and then. Can't wait for 'this' to pass. And yes, with more hits it gets harder to get back up each time. It really does. But from now on I will try to see the change and miracles coming my way. I have to believe I am not here to suffer to this degree. It is time to release it and say 'enough'! I deserve to live again and be prosperous and happy. The time has come. I personally have never been tested like this before in my life. Never even thought it was possible. But here at the end of the 2 years struggle, as it spins out of control, I need to get a grip. And ask my angels to hook me up and walk me thru this quickly. Thank You Lisa for confirming exactly what I am going through right now. How cool to read this today!! Thanks :)
