I was born to be on a stage

June 15, 2016 Written by Lisa

Lisa on stagePretty sure I was considering it was the first time I’ve done that in this kind of way and I was pretty damn awesome, gotta say.

(Toots own horn)

I was scared to pieces and Wee Spirit Animal had to give me a ‘Come to Jesus’ chat about being visible. FOCUS!! That should be his middle name but damn if he didn’t help and it didn’t work beautifully.

What I think was most interesting to me is that it took more energy for me to remain invisible than it does for me to show up and be me. While I was tired from 3 full days of interactions, I was not the kind of exhausted that comes with these kinds of things for me in the past.

So many awarenesses and so much goodness to come. Join me on the “Be Who You Are, Dammit!” tour with special guest, WSA, won’t you?

More in a day or two. Mama seems to have overloaded herself a bit much. Jeepers.

Jog, dammit!

I only *wish* I looked like the chick in this graphic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alas, this was probably more like how I appeared to anyone who had the misfortune of watching me jog yesterday.

 

 

 

 

I love my trainer dearly (even though she lies to me about how many tires she piles up for me to step on – said it was the same as last week and then afterwards, confessed that it was, in fact, higher than last week!) and would pretty much try anything she asked of me.  That is why I found myself running as part of my workout yesterday at Crossfit.   And, I amazed myself by actually doing it.

It wasn’t far, mind you.  And I had to do it three times – had to walk back fast on round #2 because my lungs were this close to ‘ploding – but I did it.

I’m not sure what feels different about this kind of workout other than it’s fast and intense so it’s over quickly (before lung explosions) and when I’m done, I feel like I’ve actually DONE something.  It’s markedly different than dragging my ass for 30 minutes on a treadmill and still feeling like I didn’t do squat for my body.

And the other piece to it is this interesting sense of confidence that’s shown up as well.  It’s spilling out into other areas of my life for which I am eternally grateful.

Gal, I’d suggest a few CF classes for you and you’ll be kicking your sister’s butt in no time! LOL

So, yeah.  I jogged.  Just a little.

Better than not at all.

(Just be glad you didn’t have to watch!)

Blah blah blah, General Blatherings, Happy Stuff, Hell freezes over

BG&D for a Thursday

July 8, 2010 Written by Lisa

I think I will just change this to permanently Thursday since that’s the day I get around to posting them!

Health update: Mostly better – just a bit of remaining head sludge but on the upswing so YEY!

PI update: Lots of good stuff on the horizon. I hired a copywriter to redo the “About Me” page and when I gather the funds for it, she will also do the Services page. Once that’s good and strong and I port everything over to my own server (vs. having it on WordPress’s server), I’ll schedule an interview with my buddy and mentor Slade Roberson of “Shift your Spirits”. When his other student, Alex Wu wrote a review of the Professional Intuitive course, I left a comment there and on Slade’s page when he featured the article, I got a TON of hits on my site from people perusing it. So, if I do an interview with Slade, I know he will send A LOT of traffic there and I want my site to be shiny and happy.

Onto BG&D for today:

Brags: I have done some kick ass phone readings for a few peeps and they seem very pleased with them. The Guides are fun to work with and alot of information comes through. (I just have to get a recording device so I can send people the MP3s because so much DOES come through that I know they can’t take it all in.)

Grats: I am thankful that this cold is ebbing away and I am back to feeling like my regular self again. I’m neither a good nor pleasant patient.

Desires: To hold Peterbella (aka: Bozman, P Diddy, etc) when I see him this weekend. He’s my sweetie. (Now with extra acid reflux, as reported by Cousin O’Cool. Poor boohead. Meds to the rescue!!)

The 100 degree temps are over (for now) and the pool water is warmer and they are all good things.

I love this picture. Not sure why. Just do.

BG&D – the kinda sorta late edition

July 1, 2010 Written by Lisa

I wish I could slug Duty for passing on his head/chest cold to me but I can’t. It wasn’t his fault. I don’t know what it is but I am !exhausted! from doing nothing. Usually, when doing my day-to-day nothing, I am not like this. I came home, ate dinner and then fell asleep on the couch listening to Andrea Hess’s discussion about Money Mastery. There were kids in the pool outside, dogs barking, Andrea talking and I was sound asleep under a blanket. I feel a bit better now after the rest but plan to go to bed soonish so I can get some good sleeps.

Because I have stuff. to. do!! J4 Throwdown is Sunday and I have cleaning and preparing to do which I hate when I feel well much less when I am all slugged out. Where’s those damn amphetamines when you need them? Feh.

Got some really good and interesting feedback on PI from Kelly and Dave last night. They said I “have a strong blogging voice” and compared and contrasted my voice here with my voice there. Their suggestion? The voice here is my real voice and they said that PI needs a big dose of Snarkypants Lisa there. So, look for me to fully inhabit my wise but irreverent side more over there. Fear not, though. All talk of Hal & Cookie lust, random political blatherings and other crap will still be going strong here. I knew you were worried. I could feel your vibes in the air! heh

Brags: I was happy that these professionals felt that my blog was really good, laid out well and organized well. Plenty of room for improvement, of course. Also, happy to hear they thought my writing was very good. I told them that my goal there was for people to know me and feel comfortable with me because opening up to someone to help you with some pretty intimate issues involved trust. Writing is how I do that so it made me feel good that they thought I came off that way. (GO ME!)

Grats: I am thankful for something fun and cool to learn (marketing) and wrap my brain around. I don’t need to learn the intuitive part – got that down pat. But lots of other stuff to explore and have fun doing. I am, quite simply, blessed beyond measure and don’t think I don’t know that one bit.

Desires: Oh, back to the desire to fit into my clothes again. Did I do anything this week to get me closer to that? Shamefully, no. I know it’s not going to just happen out of thin (ha!) air yet I refuse to make any effort in that direction. Must have chat with self about this.

BTW, Andrea is offering the Money Mastery program for a steal ($97 vs the $297 it is usually) so if you’re interested, holla at me. I have a couple people interested in doing a Skype workshop on it with me so I can step them through how to put it to work. I can do that for you (three) also! Holla!

This is me on most days:

BG&D Wednesday the second

June 23, 2010 Written by Lisa

Oh my! Is it Wednesday already? I completely forgot what damn day it was. Has anyone besides me noticed how the days are speeding up even more than usual? I feel like Sunday night bleeds right into the following weekend and the week goes by in a blur.

1. How have you totally impressed yourself, turned yourself on, pleased yourself, or otherwise created magic lately? That’s a BRAG.

Probably not a good day to ask me this as I am completely and utterly unimpressed with my damn self. Let me search my memory banks to come up with something. (BIG PAUSE) Umm, I managed not to whine about being asked to make UPS labels for several packages despite feeling like I’m someone’s minion. My angels had to work overtime telling me to SHHHHH! my mouth. But I did. So, yey for me shutting my mouth!

2. For what are you thankful? What blessings are right here? What blessings are on their way and you want to give thanks in advance? And what currently-challenging situations in your life are you going to affirm as blessings in shit-brown wrappers? Those are GRATITUDES, or “grats” for short.

I am thankful that our pool FINALLY got in shape for the summer. Took Duty and Greg lots and lots of work, chemicals and cash money from our bank account to make it that way. I was no help at all.

3. And what are you craving? Yearning for? Realizing the world needs? What marching orders from the universe are written on your heart in the form of desires? From wanting “this headache to go away” to yearning “to know my divinity” to realizing “I want to be a mother,” no DESIRE is too big, too small, too “selfish” or too far-reaching.

Right now? I desire some ideas for PI blogging and my mojo back. It done left me for good, Myrtle. Well, it hasn’t but it feels that way. I wants my mojo back. Oh, and a decent cosmopolitan. And Hal. (Who has laryngitis, btw. I’ll nurse him back to health. heh)

Jump into the fray with your own Brags, Grats and Desires. I wanna hear some wild ones from all three of my readers!

:-)
