People!

So we flew to Dallas... charlie is obsessed with Texas and i have to say they are LOVELY people. caroline and I flew in and we were met by Kathleen and taken to our hotel... after a few hours rest we started the book signing...

WELL... I have never seen a crowd like it! They were lovely! The security guard was saying that they were getting impatient outside and I started to worry but it as all fine and dandy.

I had some lovely gifts and I didn't believe what everyone was saying, how people had slept in cars overnight and also how people sat in chairs outside the store all day to meet me... until I met those people. WOW!!!

That is incredible. I am so overwhelmed by it and how you are all so lovely and welcoming me to cities that you live in. I made sure everyone had a hug... You had all come so far to see me it was incredible!

Chris, my production manager was there at the signing and it was so lovely to see him and his dad. Caroline is my assistant and works with me and Chris is her brother... I finally met their Dad tonight who is adorable and I love their family. I just need to meet mom and then I have met all of them.

Chris and Caroline, have made my life so easy in so many ways and have helped out so many people. Chris was always someone I could turn to when I was filming the show and Caroline is my right hand woman who has everything covered!!!

I also met with Joleen and Andy who are other friends of mine who live in Dallas too... I haven't seen Joleen for a while but she cracks me up everytime I see her... Andy and Joleen are so funny together, they actually have a comedy sketch they do....

So tonight I have spent smiling at people and laughing with everyone, and reconnecting with people who are dear to me. It's always nice to reconnect, and I feel I am about to reconnect with you all, now that we are on the last leg of the book tour and have one more signing to before LA....

I have missed blogging daily and being there an commenting in the boards, it's important to me, however we all need our rest!!! Take me for you and relax, even if it's just taking time away from work... it's not going anywhere it will still be there!!!

Slow down and embrace everything that happens and enjoy.. thats the key.... enjoyment!

Have fn.

Thank care and with love

Lisa xxxx

Lisa I am so happy for you that the tour is going so well. I can't wait to meet you myself - makes the drive something to look forward to.

You are right you need to take care of yourself and we all understand that that is what you are doing right now.

hope the rest of your tour finishes as strong as it began (I know it will).

Can't wait for next weekend :-)

What an emotional experience it must be to feel all of that love and appreciation; I am so thrilled that it is going so tremendoulsy! It must be really WILD. :-)

I know that our sweet Leslie is VERY enthused to see you on Monday in IL! And we have a great group of CA members looking forward to both The Grove book signing in LA and The Grove show in Anaheim!

I love reading your blogs. They are something that I look forward to every night when I get home from work, just before I go to bed.

You are such an enthusiastic person with so much light and pep. Why would anyone NOT want to meet you and get the chance to give you a hug. I wish that more people in the world (including myself) could have your personality and outlook on life!

I am glad to hear that your tour is going well. I wish you were heading to my city but will just join you through your blogs and tv show!

I hope you have a safe trip to your next city!! Get some rest and don't forget to take care of yourself too! You have a lil man at home waitin on you!!! :0)

Hi Lisa, Congrats on the huge success of your book signing tour! It seems silly to say because I haven't met you, but I'm so proud of you. After reading your wonderful book and hearing about your story this "chapter" is extremely exciting and it truly is wonderful to hear how much fun you are having! My hat is off to you - it's a busy schedule and you are so "down-to-earth" about meeting each person, chatting with them, getting photos and making them feel special. You are the best!!!
Peace and light to you.
Cheers,
Shannon

Lisa,
I enjoyed meeting you and listening to the Q&A at your book signing last night, (Border’s in Dallas, TX). I have watched your shows, viewed your web sites, searched your messages. With pleasure I can say, I have met you in person. You are the real deal!
You signed a stuffed animal for my daughter. I wish you could have seen her face when I gave it to her. She must be your biggest 11 yr. old fan.
Thank you for the hug and signing my book! I cannot wait to get started reading.

Friendship, Hugs, Laughter & Luv

Hey Lisa,

I'll see you in Oak Brook, IL, on Tuesday. Can't wait! I hope the line isn't too bad. Your blog scared me. People waiting overnight?!! That strikes me as slightly bizarre. At any rate, I'm not waiting in the parking lot overnight. If the line is bad, I probably won't get in it, but I'll be sure to sneak a peek of you and I'll buy the book, of course.
Take care (you have a very hectic schedule right now!)

P.S. The Oak Brook Mall is fabulous. And, all of the restaurants in the area are fantastic (or they would not be able to stay in business - it's very competitive). You can't go wrong on shopping or food.

I was at the Dallas signing last night. We were all so happy to see you. A lady sitting next to me told me she had sold some concert tickets a couple of days before so she could come see you. I told her it was definitely worth it because seeing you was like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and she completely agreed. I hope we all didn't clap and cheer too loud when you came out. I noticed you seemed to be taken back by how loud we all were--especially at first and later on when you made some wonderful announcements. There's no question you are loved in Dallas. I think many of us agreed that the secret celebrity who convinced you to make the move to America was not only speaking for L.A.--he was speaking for the entire country. I am sure I am not alone in saying that we hope you love America as much as America loves you!

Now on to finding that sign-up place you mentioned. . .

Really, really Big Hug!!

Lisa,

Like Jenna, Cynthia, MaryS., Theresa, & Cynthlynn, I'm gonna be there in Oak Brook, so take it easy and don't worry about posting. I can tell you the last few days the posts have been fun and crazy and we're posting more than enough to cover for you.

Breathe, relax, peace, we want you healthy, most of all. We were gonna meet 5 at Oak Brook, sounds like we might need to get there earlier. LOL Oh, well, if we are the last, we will be the loudest!

Peace!
Q Take a breather at Ruby Room (www.rubyroom.com) before you get to Oak Brook. Right off the line to the airport (O'Hare), so make a detour and get a crystal massage, or a facial or your aura cleared. It's fantastic!

Lisa,

You were a delight in Dallas! It was a special night. I was awed too at the LOVE people in Texas have for you. Thank you for taking the the time to give us all a "Lisa hug"! You had to been exhausted for there must have been a good 200 people there.
We could have listen to you talk all night! Your love for people flows from evey pore of your body! How wonderful it would be if all of mankind had that kind of love!!
I hope you enjoy your Houston shirt and Charlie his Texas bear!
I'll see ya in Vegas! Can't wait!

Hugs, love and blessings!!

Hi Lisa, I want to thank you for coming to Dallas, you truly are a beautiful person inside and out. The television doesn't do you justice, your more beautiful in person. I am so looking forward to the day you will be back on TV with new shows and I know this will happen. I have told anyone who will listen to go to your site and sign the petition and I am sure everyone writing a blog on here has too. I have started reading, Life Among the Dead and I am enjoying it so much, as one person said, I can hear your voice as I read it. Thank you for all that you do. We really do appreciate you. With a HUG from Dallas. XXXXX

Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for coming to Dallas! My 12 yr old daughter and I made it to Borders but sadly the book was sold out. We didn't have anything else to have signed but we stayed and listened to you and the audience Q&A. It was a really fantastic to see you in person and hear you tell it like it is.

It was also exciting to hear that you will be back in Dallas again. I can hardly wait. Maybe I will get my book signed then (once I purchase it since it is sold out! at Borders!) LOL Either way it was a still amazing to see you in person.

The room was so alive with energy and spirits. I have been working on opening up my gifts for the past 2 years. I still have not reached a state of "open" yet. But I could feel energy moving around the room. I would get the most intense goose bumps on one side of my body. No one would even be standing next to me. My daughter can see auras and she told that you glowed very brightly! She hates being overly sensitive and will close herself off for protection.

Both my daughter and I have completed level II Reiki in the DFW area. We regularly attend events at The Spiritual Fitness Center in Richardson, TX. check out their website - www.spirtualfitnesscenter.com - we have some really wonderful people at our center that have been both mentors and become good friends of mine. Particularly - Ginger Tidrow, Maureen Amen and Robert Caruso.

Thank you so much for coming to Dallas! I can't wait for the next visit. Take care and be safe!

Hey there Lisa,

Janey, your post is so funny! Now folks, Lisa is Kev's girl lets not lose sight of that...ha, ha!

Now Lisa... I have to mention something to you that totally distracted me for now two to three days after your show. At your show in North Fork, i had front row seats and could see the stage pretty well. I will preface this by saying, I never, ever in my 43 years on earth saw a spirit in my life but I have experiences in my dreams (hence my chat name DreamSpirit)... visits, lucid dreams, astral and occasional vision of what is to come.

Having said that, at your show for the very first time i saw something... and it took me a couple of days to digest it. In fact, I kept trying to forget about it but I just can't. Behind you on the stage, I saw the profile of a man sitting in a large chair... but it was in a darkish shadow form (not totally transparent but yet not solid)there were no details but I knew it was a tall man in a chair facing the audience. At first, I felt like a nutter (more than usual) and I ignored it. The darn shadow kept coming back then it floated away and then it came back... I am thinking maybe it was the stage lights. But then I held my breath because it stayed a bit longer and remained even when you were moving around the stage area. I missed a piece of your show because of this...LOL. Crazy thing! I was reluctant to mention this to my friend who was sitting next to me and who is a big skeptic but I did. I said do you see that over there?... she is like "where?" so i just said never mind. I guess I feel better just sharing this with you and all the members here because I don't feel judged... it is a spiritual family. So thanks for creating this wonderful family. I really never had this type of chatting before because some people just don't understand it.

Be Well and enjoy all the good stuff in your life,

<<Big Hugs>>

What am amazing event it was in Dallas last night, and to know that you didn't leave Borders until after 9:30pm and were blogging not even a few hours later makes it even more incredible. I do not handle large crowds well as it is so draining. Yet I feel re-energized after experiencing your sincere comments, the life force you shared with everyone through your hugs and smiles, and the way you put everyone at ease. My son Brody watches your shows with me and was also incredibly disappointed at Lifetime's decision regarding your show. So much so that we wrote several times to Lifetime about it. We are looking forward to hearing about and experiencing this next stage of your life journey as you do.

It's obvious that we love you in Dallas and anxiously await your next trip. Although your book was sold out at Borders, we made a purchase of a missing Avatar dvd out of the series and got a green band before going on a rush mission in search of your book. So while others were waiting patiently in line we went over to Barnes and Noble only to find that your book is such a HUGE success that it is virtually sold out everywhere in the area. After checking at the B&N on Northwest Hwy one copy was found and held for me to come over right away. We hopped into the car and dashed off to retrieve the book. So within 15 minutes we not only secured a copy but made it back in plenty of time to get back in line to see you.

We stayed for a few minutes after your last signing, perhaps to experience and take all of the event and you in...or perhaps because it seemed like a once in a lifetime experience and needed for it to sink in...Since I was a child there has been a spiritual connection between me and those who have returned already to the ilght. Can't explain it to others sometimes, but then I know you understand. I read about those who saw your aura, whereas I sensed it in person and experienced more during my dreams last night.

We so enjoyed seeing you in person, and being the recipient of your sincerest warmth and affections. You have left positive ripples on our lives and touched our hearts. Although I had the most incredible sore throat and swollen lymph nodes after the event, this morning I actually feel terrific, energized, no sore throat, and yet sense a peacefulness that wasn't there before. Lisa, I am so proud of all that you have allowed yourself to become and thank you for all you do to help others in fulfilling your life purpose. Take care, stay safe and be well.

Warmest loving wishes to you and your family.

Lisa, I felt a special connection with you being in that particular bookstore in that particular location, because it is where my sister in law used to work and is very close to where she and my brother live in Dallas and we have been there very often. It is really wierd that I am English and live in Bermuda, and a big follower of your show and website, my brother is also English and lives in Dallas, and you, too are English and have gone to a store that I am very very familiar with and have visited many times. It feels like a spooky triangle has been completed! Don't overdo everything though! Take care, love Sara

Lisa,

Q is right!

Ruby Room is the best! If you have a chance while you are in Chicago, you really need to visit it. www.rubyroom.com. Get an ennersage or chakrasage. You deserve it!
