Who knows what's around the corner!

Yes, I know I had a day off from blogging... well actually I had a day off totally. Kev and I had discussed it and as Charlie was with family, we decided to take some time for ourselves. It was very last minute but we found a lovely hotel by the beach and went there for the night.

Oh it was wonderful... We met a friend Catherine for lunch and that was so lovely and then we decided to go shopping. I found a beautiful Fluorite Sphere that just had energy so bouncy it reminded me of Lucy. I just had to have it. I am so attracted to Fluorite and it's known to balance hormones and help give you more clarity in your 3rd eye... so no wonder I am attracted to this.

We then went back to the hotel and I did something I NEVER do... I slept in the day! Kev was so pleased that I had taken a nap... and then we watched a movie and went to bed... it was just so relaxing. I really needed it and if it wasn't for an 10am interview followed by the dentist I would have spent the day at the beach!

We came back and we had friends arrive from the UK. This is a friend of Kev's who I have met on several occasions and actually read for at one point and I told him he would meet the love of his life and he would be SO happy.

Well he turned up on our doorstep with his new wife! They just got married and they are on a tour of the west coast and decided to come a stay with us... I am so happy for them both!

This is an interesting story. He really has had a tough time and his father died and he finally said the things he needed to say to his dad before he died, and we had spoken about this before I left for America. However things for him just didn't get better. He decided he was better off with his father and actually attempted suicide.

He gave me total permission to share this with you as he felt that he had been given a second chance in life. he really never thought he could get out of the depression that he was in, until one day he walked in to a place that he frequented regularly and met his future wife. Little did they know that day was the turning point for both of them.

Both of them when they met were at a low point in their life, so imagine how they felt when suddenly out of nowhere your soul mate walks in... and changes your life forever!

So when they arrived at our house tonight it was lovely to meet the wonderful woman who had saved him, but also to see a different man than one we once knew. A Happy man and an extremely happy couple!

His story is inspirational, and it was a story like this that changed my life a long time ago. When I parted from Charlie's dad it was a very hard time for me, to pick myself up and I honestly never thought I could survive... but I did.

I realized that I had to live my life for me and Charlie. I was never going to put my happiness in the hands of someone else and when I was at my lowest point I pulled myself back and if I hadn't, I would not be here today. I looked at life with fresh eyes and realized that if I had allowed myself to get caught up in the depression I had, I would not have had the fulfilling and rewarding life I have now.

I have not forced it, I have learnt from my lessons and allowed myself to change. Finally things started to change and I met Kev and we then came to America...

So when you are feeling low, because lets face it we all have those moments, remember that they will not last forever... what seems like a huge mountain to climb today will only be a small hill tomorrow... remember you don't have to have the answers to everything, even though Charlie thinks I do (because I'm psychic! LOL),allow yourself time to reflect and listen and learn from the moment and it may not be that moment but you will find the answer... Don't go searching for it, it will find you!

Have a fantastic day!!!

With love

Lisa

Lisa!

So happy that you played and rested! xoxox

And what a wonderful message of truth, in sharing the wonder of hope emerging in love. :-) It is surely the one thing that can take our breath away like no other.

And wherever we are, whoever we are, we can either recapture or imagine that joy, in our life or just around the corner.

Thanks for being so lovely!

xoxo
Love,
Heike

Very wise to take a break !

Around the corner and don't go searching for it is so connected to me with all the other good stuff you have said about letting old things go.

I am fighting with memoriables, in my head I know I don't need it enymore but emotionally it's a totaly different thing...
Feel like I am throwing away big parts of my life still knowing that the memories will not go away.

Working on it and I'l get there !

Thanks for your blog today !!!
Made me think, as you can see.

You are right with how when people think all is lost, and we can't get through it, and then somehow, we seem to. Well, most of us. I too have had some shitpiles to wade through in life, and I value it all. I have watched my Mum loose 2 husbands and her partner, all her sisters, parents and now her brother. Somehow, she keeps trooping on, she amazes me. Good to hear Kev's mate is happier, sounds like he deserves it.

Hey, I just read your blog from yesterday. Sucks big lemons those blood tests eh? I too think I have same issue with whatever has made me chunk out over the past 2 years. People tell you, don't worry Pen, you are such a cool chic etc...that is doesn't matter, but it matters to me!!? I am going to go to the Docs too soon for bloods, I have done basal temperatures and seems I have thyroid issues. Either that or I am just a perverbial little oinker ha ha. Anyways, please know and I am so sure you are told by those who love you all the time, you are a very gorgeous looking chicky, and you shine so bright! You have fab english skin like mine (you lucky girl) and you always look fantastic. Go easy on yourself...easier said than done I know. I really do.

Cheers for sharing with us Lisa...
Blessings to you and yours xxx

Lisa,
So happy that you took a day off! I was hoping when you didn't blog yesterday, that you were taking some time for yourself!
What a lovely story about Kev's friend! I'm a sucker for romance and happy endings! Your message today was a timely one for me. Sometimes those mountains seem huge, but if we just take it one step at a time, we see that they are really not so insurmountable.

Peace and Hugs!

Hi Lisa,

So glad to hear that you two took some quality time together - and got some much needed sleep!!! We did miss you though!

It is so nice to hear about your friend and how his life has changed for the better. To come back from such a low point, find true love and live happily ever after, is enough to give anyone hope.

I am sure a lot of us have had similar experiences and have also learnt from this and the challenges we continue to face.

It is what makes us who we are.

Hi Lisa
Myself and my GF just recently watched a few shows of ures here in South Africa,
Was great stuff,my GF says its like watching herself on TV,and I must admit she isnt far off.
Pitty though we only caught 4 episodes.

She would like to start up something like ureself but she isnt sure on how to go about it?

Like I said she isnt into fortune telling,but rather making the connection between the living and the dead.

How does one go about setting up sommthing like this cos Im sure if u go to the bank for a loan they gonna laugh u right outta there.LOL

Anyways,great show hope to see more soon.
BTW I see u from Birmingham,I was born in Rochdale just outside Manchester,came to South Africa in 1975.

Love to all

Love you xx

I was so disappointed to see you didn't blog yesterday, Lisa. BUT, the blog you gave us today more than made up for yesterday! That is such an inspirational story! You have a way - not only with people (and spirits! LOL!) but with words! And with picking people up when we need it most. You're here for a definite reason, and I'm so glad you were blessed enough to figure out what it is!!! God bless you and Kev and Charlie!!!

Namaste!

Good Morning Lisa,

And with all the time you spend on others; it's good to know you also make time for Kev and Charlie...not to mention, yourself!

Hey there Lisa,

Sneaking in some words to you from work...tee, hee!

I am so very proud of you for finally resting and taking a break. It is so important for you... and I am cheering you on for allowing yourself to REST even in the day. Nothing wrong with a nice afternoon nappy. Also, I didn't know about Fluorite ...balancing hormones and more clarity in your 3rd eye... the little bugger has been unclear with these allergies...LOL! You know i am the jokster...

Your friends story is just so remarkable and I am glad you posted this. I actually can relate to his story as many others I am sure... but the key thing that you mention is that we all feel this way from time to time and it does not last forever... I call it 'riding the wave' ...Excellent blog!

Be well and keep healing yourself,

<Big hugs>

Hello Lisa,

Thankyou for sharing the story of Kev's friend who managed to hold on to life and found his love and life renewed.

It is especially good to hear because we heard that my step-son killed himself on Monday. Depression and breakup were the main causes that we are aware of at this time. It has been a sad time for us, but the one good thing to come of this is that it brings the family together and that will be a huge thing for my husband. He has longed to reconnect with his two older children. Now sadly one is gone, but the other has asked for a day with her dad after the memorial service. The family is scattered around the USA so it will hopefully be a healing time for us all.

I wish you a wonderful time with your friends and am so glad that you took a day for just the two of you. Thankyou for all you do, coming to your site is something I look forward to every day. Even if you have not posted, I enjoy reading what others have written.

Hi Lisa
How great you took some time off. Everyone needs that once in a while.

The story of your friend sounds very much similar to the story I wrote yesterday on the boards. I got a second chance too in this life and met a man that I can say is my soulmate. I'm so happy!

Take care, dear Lisa
And thank you for your blogging

With love
