Love verses Fear.

Today has been a great day, again I had the house to myself and this time I wasn't running up and down the street holding on to my trousers chasing Lucy. It was lovely. I sit in my office beavering away and she often sits on the chair looking out the window and occasionally she barks at the squirrel that plays her up, as it runs up and down the tree outside our house. Or then she comes and lies by my feet which is what she is doing now or insists that she comes and joins me at the desk and starts on my lap and then climbs on the desk and flops on the keyboard!! Bless her.

It was lovely. I did a few readings, and it amazes me how many people ask me if their reading is confidential. I NEVER tell anyone full details about a reading unless I have permission and even those who I have written about in my book I have changed names. Even when I talk about friends on here, I have been known to change the odd name. But I suppose they are only protecting themselves.

In the UK the general public are obsessed with celebrities and my show is over there and it never ceases to amaze me how many times I get asked which celebrities I have read for... the reality is very few, and it's not my business to say who has had a reading and who hasn't as they may not want it disclosed. I digress....

So then Charlie and I went shopping for new trainers as his feet are HUGE!!! And he ate 2 pizza's!!! I swear he has hollow legs, or he's having a growth spurt! ha ha ha

I got back to find Lucy had been shut in the bedroom by Kev before he went out to meet the guys for a beer, she often hides under the bed and so you don't see her and wander out the house without realizing. She was so excited to see us, and I think she had platted her legs as she scooted straight outside to pee.

I spent some of the day trying to sort out the members logging in problems, and realized it was an Internet Explore problem, so I opened the discussions to everyone. So you don't have to log in.

So today I want to talk about Love, I know this should have been said yesterday but I felt it wasn't right, given the nature of the post. I picked up a card, (I have some cards with inspirational quotes on) and one of them popped out at me, and I couldn't put it back. In fact it's still sitting here in front of me, and I may pop it on the computer so I see it all the time.

It says:
Where there is love there is no fear. Where there is fear there is no love.
I realize that love is the power that heals me and everyone around me.
Love is my life and my sustenance.

It blew me away. I had lived in fear for so long with someone I loved in a past relationship ... and it was interesting when it all turned around how I had to learn to love again. It's something we all do. We all love, whether it's a love for a child or love for someone else. We all are able to do, if we open our hearts. We also have to love our self which is something I have talked before about, but you should never fear someone or live in fear especially with someone you love.

It's very interesting how many of us do it. I have, I may be psychic but I can never see things for myself and after all I am only human. I have feelings and thoughts like everyone else. So when I realized I lived in fear I had to make a change and so I did. When you realize what it is you fear, you can find the strength within you to make a change.

Often you never want to make the change as you don't want to make waves, certainly with who, or what you fear. But it's is an emotion WE control. Just like any emotion. We have complete control. We ALLOW the fear to seep in. It can happen slowly over time, and you don't realise you are reacting that way... often this is the hardest way, as you grow accustomed to it and it's only when it's pointed out to you that you realize it, and even so you will probably deny it. Trying to come away from that is hard work, can take a while to trust again. Then there is the fear that happens in an instant. You know it's there and you know your trigger, and because you know it, you can, in many cases, do something about it.

It's all about control. Firstly not allowing someone or something to control you like that but also how you control it.

It could take an hour to realize it, it could take a week or many years to discover but when you do, it's time to do something about it. Stand strong, knowing that you are not alone and that there are others somewhere feeling the same. Stand proud and strong and know that you deserve to love without fear.

You deserve love and love deserves you!

With Love

Wonder!

Today I had a great day inspite of everything that happened yesterday.. it's amazing how things happen. Things happen because they are supposed to happen, we can try to force things, in a way and help them along, often pushing them to make things happen more quickly but actually it's not helping us as whatever needs to happen in time.

If we force it, we may skip vital parts of the puzzle that need to be found. We can never rush things. Sit back and look at how things happen and that everything happens for a reason. Be amazed at how things happen and then embrace it. Its such a wonderful thing.

I have no idea why I needed to write that, I felt inspired somehow so I believe that who ever gets to read the blog needs to hear the message.

everything does happen for a reason, and if it wasn't for my health and then me having to have surgery nearly 4 years ago, then I wouldn't be here chatting to you... some times the glorious moments and things come from the real dark places. Incredible really!

so today was much better, and I did some readings and I took some promo shots... can you believe I still get embarrased to have my picture taken!! he he he

Charlie came home from school in a great mood and then Kev and I disappeared to enjoy a Valentines dinner. It was just a lovely day!

So more training tomorrow... oh fun!!! The knee is still holding up. The day after the race, Charlie has to have a minor op so it's all coming at once... it will still be fun though. I better head off to bed as Charlie has a sleep over tomorrow night and I will probably be up all night making sure they sleep and also I have meeting first thing in the morning!!

Have a blessed day and Happy Friday!!!

Love

Comedy of Errors!

Oh today, I just wanted to go back to bed!!! It was one of THOSE days!!

It started off great, I got up took Charlie to school and went straight to the gym. Well I have to get training don't I for this marathon, that I agreed to do without realizing it was only a week and a bit away!! So off I trott with all good intentions and park my bum on the bike and start pedalling, I'm watching TV shows on my iphone and enjoying it... then suddenly... Ouch... my bloody knee starts to give up. I am 6 miles into my ride. (I was going to cycle for as long as I could) but my knee made me stop. I totally forget about this knee of mine that can dislocate at any minute!!

So I head home and start my day. I have the house to myself. Which is very rare, as either Kev is pottering around or Caroline, my assistant is upstairs in the office beavering away. But no today was Heaven! 2 readings later I start preparing for my telephone calls to Australia.

I love doing interviews, especially radio interviews as you can really get to know the personalities of some of the hosts. So I make my first call... answerphone! ok I am not letting that stop me, I have a cell phone to ring. Finally I get through.... "Hi it's Lisa Williams... blah blah blah and off we go with the show. "So Lisa what do you say to skeptics?" I start to give my answer... and I can hear talking... they can't hear me! Big sign, hang up and call again. "Hi it's me again!" Carry on with the interview which is being recorded for radio... all this time I didn't realize I had a missing dog She had escaped somehow!

BANG BANG BANG on the door... I didn't want to ignore it as they would probably carry on knocking. So I answer quietly put my finger to my mouth and signed what I needed to sign and then spotted Lucy! Running up and down the street. Meanwhile, I am chatting away like a perfect guest on a radio show, smiling away... I go outside and she is jumping all over the fedex guy... he doesn't think for one minute to bring her back to me... He walks off!!!

She scarpers, flying up the street as fast as her little legs will carry her. I see her and I knew where she had gone and carry on with my interview... "mmm yes, I think other shows like Medium are ... blah blah blah" I carry on because I can see her and I know she is ok.

Then another dog comes along... well that's it. Lucy thinks its play time, I'm thinking 'when is this interview going to finish!!' Finally I get off the phone and run up the street, pulling up my trousers on the way (I'm losing weight so they fall down) and grab Lucy.

Oh she thinks it's such a fun game... nuzzling me and wagging her tail. Of course you have to laugh. So I get back and I notice the hole that she escaped from and sort that out.

I let her out into what I think is a safe backyard. I start to call my next interview... No answer on the office line, the cell phone and then the office line again... Oh well and extra half hour for me, and I check on Lucy to see if she is ok... and she is fine.

So I call my next interview which is another radio interview. "Hi it's Lisa..." So we get right into the interview chat chat chat... and then I hear "Hello Hello HEllo HELLO from outside" Ignore it. HELLO!!!! BANG BANG BANG!!! on the door! Oh go away people, please let me do my interviews in peace!

So off I go to the door again just like I did in the last interview, and a lovely lady is standing there asking me if I have a little fluffy dog. I look around for Lucy, panic sets in again, all while I am being really polite and answering questions etc etc...

Finally I say to the interviewers (and fortunaetly it's being prerecorded) that Lucy has escaped again! (the gardeners had left the gate open this time) I put down the phone with the promise to call them back (which I did) and ran up the street hanging on to my trousers again, and grabbed Lucy, who incidentally is having the time of her life, rolling around in poo!

Why do dogs do that, you bathe them the night before and then the next day they roll around in poo! can't they just stay smelling lovely and feeling fluffy?!

So you can imagine my mood when I finish my interview. Kev walks in all happy as Larry, and Lucy runs to him as if nothing has happened, the cheeky monkey! Stressed is not the word!!

So I practice what I preach, and allow the stress to blow away in my bubble I create, well the bubble just isn't big enough is it... , I relax... oh no, Lucy thinks it's play time after her bath to get rid of the poo.

Charlie comes up to me and puts his arms around my neck and says "What an I do to make you feel better mommy?" And then suddenly it all feels normal again! we have some food, I put Charlie to bed and sit and watch my mate Jo (super nanny)on TV. Now thats' stress, I don't know how she does it. I'm exhausted watching her!

So I sit here and think back to the comedy of errors that happened today and laugh... at the time it never feels like that, but now... it's laughable and I hope you are laughing too...

But these things in life happen all the time. We stress out about stupid things, or we have silly arguments with family and friends and we hold it against people. We need to look at the situation, and express our feelings or let off some steam and then look back and see it for what it really was. And it probably was a nightmare at the time but looking back you can see the funny side to it. And that's what you have to do. see the funny side of life. It's ok to be serious, but there is a time and place, have some fun laugh and feel the freedom that we are entitled to have. It's there for us all.

Back down the gym tomorrow to see how my knee is holding up... eek!!

Happy Valentines day everyone, lets spread the love and light a candle to those we love on the other side and tell everyone how much we love them!

Lots of love and kisses

xxxx
