Alive … barely

May 6, 2017 Written by Lisa

Oh hello there …. I am here, mostly. (I think.) You know when I go on a trek to Utah, it takes me a bit to come home and reintegrate back into my life. Finally, I think I have done that.

It was a great trip and once again, I got to speak on stage which gives me joy beyond measure. I am so thankful to Angella for giving me space and time to do that. Now I just have to shove myself off her wings and go speak locally. My talk was on #unwaveringtrust and I even had a little power point show to go with it so I think I can take that talk out into non-Angella world and see what happens.

I should be used to the exhaustive pace of an event (even as a participant, much less a team person) but it still takes me out every time. I was running and moving from 6am to 9pm every day with barely a breath in between. For someone who sits her ass on the couch most days who mostly thinks and writes for a living, that’s a near-death experience. But truth be told, I love it. It just takes me time to recuperate afterwards.

And fortunately, I had many people sign up for a free call that I offered so I came home to client calls, free calls and group meetings. That’s one reason it took me longer than usual to come back to myself.

Anyway, it was a great experience as Ignite always is. The month before it was filled with lots and lots of ah-ha’s and plans for what’s next. I have a lot of irons in the fire and need to pull a few out and work on them as I’m guided to do. There’s a part of me that wants to take more on but right now, I just don’t have room for it.

Next time around: find out how I was guided to create “Channeling for Wizards” and to join a Mystery School so that I can build my own. No clue what it’s leading to but I know and have #unwaveringtrust that I will find out.

BTW, Prince made a big showing at the event for one person who had a lot of judgement about channeling (because she’s been called to do that and was fighting it). She’s clairvoyant (which means she can see) and as I was talking on stage, he came right behind her and whispered in her ear “Now do you believe her?” (meaning me and that I channel Prince). Then he pulled a chair up right in front of her and turned to face her and said “Better take note of what she’s saying. You’re going to be doing that same thing soon.”, smiled and then POOFED! She said she kept turning around to see if anyone else saw it but no one did. :) We’re going to do a little video chat on Zoom about that experience and channeling in general. How funny, though. Best story of the event.

(You know he likes to make a big splash, right?)

Expand the container, not the ass

Hi hi hi hi!

What weirdly interesting energy has been floating around the Universe these days. Just all kinds of stuff swirling.

Prince and I came up with a Group saturation session and we had our first one last Sunday where I channeled him for 90 minutes straight for six different people (and energies)! Whoa!

You know what? I am so good at this and I don’t know how that happened. But it did. I can let Lisa take a back seat and allow him the front seat but I am there, watching it, all the time. I never know what’s going to come out of my mouth, I just go with it and the energy. Fortunately, he’s loving and fun and wise and sometimes snarky and you know how I dig all that in a person, right?

I was nervous at first to do this because what if I’m talking out of my ass and what comes from this means nothing to anyone? Then my #unwaveringtrust took over and reminded me that there’s nothing to fret over, it is what it is and that’s that. Alrighty then.

People sent me some amazing feedback (“This was one of the best days of my life. his words resonated so deeply with me yesterday. I have no doubts about them and their intention for me.”) and I cried because THAT …. THAT feeling is what I’m here to share. That trust and certainty and that it lifts them up.

Ah. Woo. How I do so love you.

That 90 minutes of being out of my body took me a few days to anchor myself fully back in it. You all (3) know I’d rather be out of than in my body – much more fun. Still, have living to do here so back to a body I go.

(I had to pee like a maniac which I didn’t realize until I came back to my body. I drank about a gallon of water during the channeling so wasn’t surprised but it made me laugh and realize how NOT in my body I must have been to not even notice that issue.)

The work for me, though, is learning how to hold that BIG energy and then come back into my own body soon after. Practice makes perfect and I’ve got 3 more of these scheduled so I’ll either get it or completely POOF into dust! You’ll know which if you never see me again.

In other news, preliminary dental work is done, visit to ortho is done (he said “Well, you’ve got a lot going on in there!” Understatement of the year, I say!) and now we wait for his consult with my dentist for next steps. Looks like braces on the top first. And go from there. I’m fine with it all (I say now) because anything beats having dentures. Well, almost anything.

And I have a new friend whom I love and who loves me. We met through the Prince connection – he is so magical!

Life is interesting.

Also too: Lord, what is happening in this country? I can barely keep up with it and I also worry and wonder if those in congress are all happy just to get their $$$ and watch it burn.

Blah blah blah

I wonder about myself sometimes

February 23, 2017 Written by Lisa

Well, I wonder about a LOT of things and most of my time seems to be spent pondering things. Snippets of conversations roll around in my head all the time. Replaying this one or thinking ahead about that one. I have an entire life going on in that head that never even takes place in 3D. Sometimes that life is better but mostly, it’s just me torturing myself with what-ifs and then torturing myself because I’m drowning in those what-ifs.

Ah, clarity. I can haz you?

Anyway, lessons are bubbling up, as they always do. Even when you know it’s the best thing for you, some things are just hard. And they hurt because they stir up old wounds but I try to view it as that part is available now for healing.

Speaking what’s true for me is really challenging because I see all sides of all the sides. I know, bone deep, what the impact of words can be for certain people and I don’t use those words unwisely. That, though, makes it particularly hard to say what I feel. Maybe next lifetime I’ll be one of those people who just pops off at the mouth about whatever I think and everyone else be damned. (I know. That’s just not in my makeup this go-round.)

The lesson for today is this: If you don’t see your own worth and value in the world, others won’t see it either. If you constantly downplay who you BE and what you bring to a space, it will remain invisible to others. Not that you need anyone else’s approval to just BE you, but when you’re working side-by-side with someone, flying under the radar but holding space for them to fly, don’t be surprised if they don’t see you for all you BE.

Welcome to ‘yes, I’m being circumspect’ theatre. Enjoy the show.

Blah blah blah

Step away from the keyboard, yo!

I cannot keep up with the cyclone of news coming at me these days. And what’s interesting to me is that I really can take in a lot of information, almost like a sponge. So when I’m completely full up, you know there’s a lot swirling.

Since I was in Utah over the last week (during the Inauguration, thankfully), I was involved all day, every day in client stuff and didn’t have time to sit in front of my laptop lapping up every morsel.

(And really, don’t I have better uses of my time? Yes, I do. Do I do them? No, I do not.)

It was during this time I realized how damn addicted I am to my news/analysis shows (The Young Turks) and online commentary since I was jonesin’ for them by the end of the day.

I suspect all of this is – for me – a distraction. It engages my mind, I can easily go into outrage and then I don’t “have time” to do stuff on my business. So convenient. Especially when I’m in SPIN mode where I don’t know what I’m doing or how I want to do it.

Also, I have entirely TOO MUCH information coming at me from various courses I keep signing up for. It feels like I am drowning and I just can’t keep up.

I think it’s time for an online sabbatical. (Even ONE day would be difficult for me. Sadly.)

What I might have to do is pare down the number of political pages I follow where the outrage is amped up (warranted because of insanity/corruption/fuckery in the White House).

I follow a few that talk about taking daily action and I have called my asshat Teabagger congressman’s office on the regular, written letters and done what I can. I have connected with the Queen Anne’s County Democratic Party and will attend their next meeting. (They are slow as molasses addressing comments on social media. Maybe I can help with that part.)

But me drowning in every minute detail of what Trump is doing is not helping me or anyone else. I am not effective from that place of constant “Look! Squirrel!” energy.

It’s time for me to focus on what I need to do, do what I can on issues that are important to me and ways I can best offer my services and get back into my business.
Speaking of which, how did I lose my way? (I listened outside myself is what happened.) I want to fold the Prince work into my site (I suppose I’ll keep the Purple Saturation site still separate for now) and get my damn self out there. The Be Who You Are stuff came flowing out so naturally and the LisaMW stuff is just stuck. (I know. I know.)

Bottom line: Get your head out of your ass and back in the game. Ignore the Trump outrage, do your part and get off line for parts of the day. (Ugh, I love and hate routine.)

How are you all doing? Gal? Kwiz? Jody? Fill me in!

A thing or two

November 21, 2016 Written by Lisa

So, the work I’ve been doing all year through Fabeku’s Coherence Labs have helped me more than I can say. Learning where I’m out of alignment in my life has been eye-opening AND challenging at the same time.

Looking at my online stuff, I see I’ve got this blog, a closed-for-all-intents-and-purposes site in Practically Intuitive, a WTF do I do with this site in Be Who You Are and of course, all things Purple over at Purple Saturation. In addition, I’ve got FB pages for PI, BWYA, PS and me as a page + my personal FB page.

I don’t want all of that any longer so I made a decision. I’ve purchased the domain lisamw.com and will be doing everything there (except for Purple Saturation but will have links and descriptions on it).

And that means Snarkypants is coming to a close. That’s been in the offing for a while now but I have 14 years of my life here and didn’t want to just ditch it all. It will still be up for a while so I can download the archives (YEY for Beacon!) and Lauren’s stuff which I’m hoping to finally make into a book for her parents. When that’s complete, I will close it down.

puzzle Too much of me has been compartmentalized for reasons I won’t go into here. It’s time to pull it into one place – business, blogging, whatever-may-come. This is a big deal to me because it represents a coming together of many pieces that were spread out all over the place and is a result of a lot of personal work over the years and particularly so this year.

So, just a heads up. I’ll let you know when the other site is up and running. My goal is to get that done and start 2017 fresh from one place.

On another note: Some shitty news about the election and the sad part is I knew it was coming. I could feel it in my bones and when my friends were all posting how excited they were that we’d finally have a woman president, I knew they’d be disappointed. So, I was not at all surprised to see the outcome. Disheartened, oh yes. Surprised? No.

Here’s a thing, though. Spiritual Teachers come in every possible disguise.

Even ones such as Trump.

He is the very epitome of everything that can no longer be tolerated in our country. And he represents it in a way that is hard to ignore. I consider him a Spiritual Teacher for all time. (I’m working on an essay about that, btw.) It is because of him that many people who were half asleep are now awake and aware.

Secretary Clinton was, by far, the most experienced candidate. No question there. And yet, had she won, we would have all gone back to napping because business as usual, yeah? How close did we get to Bernie Sanders being the nominee? That spoke to the need for real, sustained change that benefited the whole. And yet, we couldn’t quite get there.
So, Mr. Trump moved to the fore and it will be by his hand (and sadly, Pence’s) that we lurch forward, painfully so. I am involved in a few groups now who are devoted to daily action rather than blathering on FB (of which I am guilty) and posting memes (ditto). It’s just a matter of time that things shift. I continue to pray for our country to do this as peacefully as possible and know and trust (in my own unwavering way) that this will all benefit us before too long.

Love and more love to you all. (And I’ll be posting here until I don’t so don’t go anywhere yet, all three of youse!)
