“Why wait for the other shoe to drop when I can just leave the shoes on the floor?” Oof, I have definitely felt this many times in my life. Always appreciate your perspective on things Lisa, thank you 💗
I needed to hear this beautiful open perspective today. It really helped me to make sense of a challenging situation. Letting it filter through to guide my way forward. Thank you for this gift.
this is good human stuff indeed. also the color palette of especially those first two is so good. May be some Inspo for some new paints I am messing with. Learning acrylics and the layering of light and dark so the metaphor SPEAKS ;)
To respond seems almost to step on the sacred, and yet it was important to me to reach out to thank you always for what you release in your writing. My heart says yes to each line.
This idea of 'both-ness' really struck a chord with me. I've often felt like I'm juggling joy and grief, light and darkness, all at once. It's a constant dance, and sometimes it feels impossible to find balance. But your words remind me that maybe that's the point – to embrace the whole spectrum of human experience, even when it feels overwhelming.
this has been something that i've also been thinking alot about...you've embraced the thoughts and feeling in words so perfectly. really really beautiful!
This was tenderly and divinely placed upon my heart today. Deeply needed and deeply felt. I always appreciate your ability to bring light to the darkest of times. It reassures me that I am not alone. It gives me hope and courage that while in grief, I can still participate in my life as it is and as I am. Here and now. Heartfelt thanks and lots of love to you and yours, Lisa.
Absolutely beautiful. We have been feeling all of this, at times jarring back and forth between grief and the gift. But you are right, they are meant to be at once. Such wisdom and guidance. ✨
This is so beautiful and something me and my partner talk about often. When it’s good something is coming and when it’s bad, something too is coming. A cycle that goes round and round and we simply have to learn to surf it. Beautiful read xo
🙃😊 I'm always grateful to read your heart in words. Of course it's the same message said in so many ways. It's your essence. It morphs and changes but the core remains. 🙏Thanks so much for always helping me find balance. I'm often feeling overwhelmed and strive to find the place you so beautifully speak of. ✨️ 💫
Lisa, this is my favourite thing I have ever read from you. Thank you. The gift and the grief is the most succinct summary of the place I find myself in these past few years and the focus of all of my experiments on how to be with them both. Thank you. Xo

The "coming through" series...
I see the open eye witnessing in the first picture.
I see the guardian spirit tending to the plant in the second picture.
I see the angelic wing in the third picture.
Thank you for the Beauty. ❤
