I’m so glad it resonates with you Christie! Thank you for taking the time to read. I’m grateful for anyone who chooses to spend a portion of their time (their life) with me.
I love that you’re an intuitive coach. I’d love to know how your heart has been “blown open” 😀🙏🏽
First of all, Congratulations! I am so, so glad this project has come into fruition, and I know it will make a difference for so many people while being a beautiful work of art in itself. This paragraph alone absolutely SENT me:
"It is the book I’ve been slowly writing in my marrow since I came here, since I looked up at the sun and cried out for someone to find me, since I decided I needed to stay, even as I carried a longing that would never be fully met. It is the closest to my own medicine I’ve ever felt, my heart’s truest offering, one I hope will provide a balm of comfort, relief, and connection in a world desperate for it. It truly feels like the greatest act of service I can offer in the way I’m uniquely able to during this season of life. I’m afraid and overjoyed and grieving and in gratitude. I’m feeling the pulse of the book living in me: the ache and the beauty, all at once, forever intertwined."
SOBBING.
Second of all, love the shout out for Rosemary Gladstar. <3
"I used to lean away from celebration, as if it was a betrayal to pain", such an honest observation. Why do we stay loyal to pain? Is it because we trust it more than we trust happiness?
This is such wonderful news Lisa, in all the ways. You have been on my mind a great deal lately. Please know I am celebrating you in this tender moment and truly looking forward to your next book. With deep care and respect. x
Reading this I'm left with no words to say,but i have to show some encouragement here i thought😇. Your words....they are beautiful,truly wish you the best and hope to see more❤
Congratulations on your book deal! 🎉 So exciting! I will admit to hastily scrolling down to see if I could pre-order, but you’re still writing! (I’ll try and be patient! 😂) I feel you’re writing about a journey that many of seem to be on versions of, and that you have the ability to accurately describe. I can’t thank you enough for being that voice.
Congratulations Lisa! I just found this post through Substack's "Today in Literature" and am so glad I did. +1 subscriber, right here. Also, thank you for introducing me to Slow Meadow. Very beautiful music.
I absolutely cannot wait to read this Lisa. I so admire you’re devotion in pouring yourself into such glorious, life-giving work, I have no doubt this will be nothing short of spectacular ♥️
#6 combined with this 'It was wordless for years and then, all at once, it was so obvious, so clear, and so me' is all culminating on my 38th birthday next week and reading this & feeling in tandem with your journey feels *so* supportive and lovely. We try, and we become, and we trust :) Thank you for the encouragement to witness the success of your trying!! Xxxx
Major congratulations! Also, the way you share your news and talk about the nuances of it invites me to feel encouraged to similarly share my own news.
#5…. Oh yes. So resonant. And the biggest congratulations to you ✨🩵
Thank you 💛💛
Hey Christie! That one resonated with me too. It’s been a journey of letting go of the past and the old identities I had associated with it too. I wrote about that in a recent newsletter that I feel you’d enjoy: https://open.substack.com/pub/soulwisdom/p/reflections-from-an-old-soul-part-0fc?r=a9uns&utm_medium=ios
Thanks for sharing this piece with me Vipul -- really enjoyed reading it! 🥰

Of course -- and thank you!
I'd like to think it means I live with an unbridled sense of loving life & nurturing aliveness 💛
