The end of the tour - Final thoughts!

As I am gearing up for the final show of the East coast tour and my last date of the year, I have been looking back at many situations I have found myself in professionally and it made me smile. 

I can say I have honestly had an amazing time in everything that I have done, and some things haven't run as I would have liked and then there were other things that ran better than I expected, but I don't regret a single thing.  Things happen for a reason and that is something I always say, but I have had the re-enforced for myself over the last few months. 

I have been blessed to meet amazing people on my journey and those people have encouraged and supported me throughout and I have to thank you all. Because without it I'm not sure where I would be on this journey in life.  

As we, in America are heading into the week of thanksgiving, I would like to give thanks for everyone who have closed doors which in turn have opened doors, and have made me see the value of the work that I do.  To all of my fans who constantly believe in me and my gift.  I couldn't do it without you. 

We are filming tonights show in Wilmington for the second season of Lisa Williams Live and last time I was here we did the same, and I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones in the show. However tomorrow starts the personal journey of Lisa. Not Lisa Williams, but Lisa who is about to embark on a new exciting journey for me and Charlie! 

Over the last few months, everything has been clearing out. I have gone through a Spring cleaning in the fall/autumn and it's been a roller coaster but throughout it's made me embrace life to the fullest and appreciate all that I have.  So as I head into the new year I have a clean slate and I am excited to see what is going to happen. 

So what we have to realize is that even though life changes and sometimes you are not in control, things are planned out and there is a reason for it all.  We have to have change to continue our journey and meet different people who can open doors when others close. we should never look at it as a negative in fact quite the opposite, it's a positive because it's a predestined plan that we all have and you are always in the right place at the right time for you. 

So believe that you can do anything you set your mind to and know that change has to happen to keep life interesting.  It teaches us lessons that we need to lead a spiritually fulfilling life!

Much love

Finding your voice!

The twists and turns of life have an effect on us all, and sometimes we never know how to cope with things and we become overwhelmed.  Its then that we have the melt downs and we struggle.  It's only natural.  The stress that we put on ourselves is incredible and sometimes we don't realize that we are doing it.  But that is part of life.  

Many times we suffer in silence, or we over react.  However we have to sit back and take a moment.  Take that moment for really feel how we feel, what we are really feeling and how we can work through it.  It can be very easy.  But we make it difficult. 

I know what I am saying here as I do it all the time.  I have looked for a solution or reacted and realized that I am making it more complicated that what it really is.  If I'd have just sat back and taken a moment then I would realized that I could have made a better decision. 

That is something that I have learnt over the last few months.  It's been a growth period for me and something I am very grateful for.  I have seen the true colors of people and what they stand for, and actually I have realized that it's not something I want to be around.  

However over this time it's also made me realize that I need to stand up for me.  What I believe in, who I am and also what I want in life, instead of being dictated to.  I have been dictated to in so many ways, and I have been the doormat that had 'wipe here' on my forehead.  I know I may not project that image out, but it's true, and throughout this time I have found my voice, stood up for what I want and believe in and grown so much, that people are questioning my influence.  Well actually the influence is an inspiration, I have been inspired to stand strong and find a voice and that voice is mine and I deserve to be heard, and so should you!

So when you want to be heard, never be scared to say what you feel, because you are being true to yourself and your beliefs. Know that you are doing what is right for you and your soul.  And with this you will inspire more people to find there voice and empower them to stand strong!

Have a fabulous weekend!

There is a master plan!

I have to say I have just spent time with some of the most incredible students and I am blessed to have been able to be their teacher. It's been amazing!!! I have loved every minute of it. 

I really feel like I have discovered my purpose in life... and that is to teach. I realized it years ago, when I wanted to be a teacher, but I realized that training to be a high school teacher wasn't where my career was... however I knew that I wanted to educate people. Now I realize that through my work I can reach so many people and teach others about the wonderful gifts that we all have.  

Although it's not a new thing, its something that hit me at a crucial point in my life where there is so much change happening. I feel like there is a massive shift in the energy and that my life is changing for the better in so many ways and that things are coming to an end all at once. 

As Caroline and Jonesy leave this month, it's a sad month but with new possibilities, new challenges to face and doors that have opened. It's fun and exciting but also a little scary, but only a little.  You always have to look at endings of eras as not an end but a possibility of a new beginning with new doors that need to be opened.  While Caroline left on Thursday, I was sad to see her go but I am happy that she only has now a 10 minute drive to work... it's exciting to see how my life is going to change.  But I think the biggest change is going to happen as one of my best friends and support system for the last few years, leaves LA and heads back to the UK. 

Jonesy has been here for a while now and it's been great to have her around, she has seen me through some really tough times and she has been a shoulder for me to cry on so many times but she has also cried with laughter with me. It's been an amazing experience and I will miss her very very much.

I feel the shift happening and I know that next year is going to bring in changes and you just have to ride with the wind and let it go. Allow life to happen in the way that it's going to happen. Don't fight it. It's not worth the energy. There is a master plan so just allow it to happen. If I didn't have this belief I would be fighting all of the change, but I'm not, I'm allowing life to happen in the way it's meant to be. 

So no matter what is happening, just allow life to work out in the way it's meant to, smile and be happy.  Know that you are alive, you are here to appreciate the beauty that every day brings. appreciate those who are in your life. appreciate those who have left your life but helped you to grow also. appreciate all that you have. Be grateful to everything that has taught you the lessons that has made you the person that you are today. 

Even though things change, we have to move onto the next chapter in life and grow with it, and I'm excited to see what life has in store! 

Love you all

Stand in your power

Well I have tried so hard to stay away from this topic but its come up again in my workshop today so I can't ignore it especially when I feel like it's a sign. 

Bullying has been huge in the media recently because of the sad cases where some children have died because of bullying, which is a tragic situation. But we are faced will bullies every single day. In every walk of life we cannot escape them.  Sadly it's been in my life where I have been bullied for one thing and another and it's only recently that I have had my eyes opened. 

I have in so many ways walked around in my own world and taken what people have said or done as I was told to do as gospel and done it.  I didn't have a voice I didn't speak up. I suppose that was my fault but in many senses I was not strong enough to say no, to stand up for what I believed, and therefore I was bulled in to certain things, and I have now recently seen it, and it's not something I am prepared to do. 

Whats interesting is when your eyes have been opened and the truth has been revealed you see throughout your life, the pattern that you started and continued. The people that you associated with and the ways that people react to you. I was allowing my self to be bullied and so I attracted them, because I didn't respect myself, however with my eyes open I see so much more. 

Standing up for something is hard especially when you have been walked over for so long and it feels alien to you, but the more you do it, and the more that you believe in yourself the better. For me its been about finding those people in my life who are coming in out of love and helping because they care and they want to help and want to support. It's not been easy and to change my ways has been difficult to say the least but now it's about standing in your power. 

I was asked today how to 'come out' regarding my mediumship, and it was a hard thing and people will all have a judgement, and they will all have an opinion but that shouldn't matter because my world doesn't have an effect on your world and what is happening unless you decide to be involved.  For instance, people don't have to believe in my gift if they don't want to and they don't have to read this blog if they don't want to either, they can choose.  But people don't want to let others just be free to live there life, they want to interfere in some way. They want to give an opinion but thats up to them. 

But it's about being comfortable with who we are and what we stand for and knowing that whatever we choose is right for us. It's not always right for everyone but if it's right for you then so be it!  As long as you treat everyone with love and respect and you treat them how you would want to be treated, does it matter what they do for a living, their sexual preferences, their choice of partners etc etc. It's about the person that matters. 

So lets stop having negative opinions and come from a place of love and appreciate all the beauty that surrounds us.  Be free to live life the way that we see fit and know that it's your life and you are entitled to live it your way... with love in your heart!

Have a fabulous weekend

Live life the way you choose!

Firstly, I have to apologize for not blogging sooner after the cruise.  We had an amazing time and everyone worked so well. It was amazing how everyone gelled together and found people who they needed to connect with. It always happens and that is the beauty of the way the universe works it's magic.  

It was also true of those who I was with on the cruise with me personally, Jonesy felt like she met her soul brother, Max.  These connections may last a lifetime or they may just be for that moment but the reality is, you were meant to meet that person and in some way they may have changed your life or they may have shown you a different pathway and gave you choices that you never may have thought about. 

It's so interesting how it happens. If they only touch your life for a moment, you will be able to remember them. We all have moments where we think... 'I wonder what happened to ...?' and that is because they had an impact in your life. 

But sometimes we have to accept that people move on and we also have to do the same, we have to cut ties and not learn to rely on others too much. It's a hard lesson that we have to learn, but actually it's a great lesson because we learn to stand on our own two feet and find our way ourselves, or we meet others who will help us on our journey.  Letting go is always good, it's a transition and it's something that we all have to face. 

Through the transition we change and we grow and we make room for new and exciting opportunities that maybe we had never seen before. You meet new people. 

Even though you meet new people the ones that remain in your life are there and they will support you through this change, because they love you. Some may say goodbye or part ways with you, but that is ok and we have to accept that. You may also be feeling that you need the change and that certain people should not be in your life, but they make the decision to leave... then you can have a moment of disappointment or feeling let down, but actually its a relief because you both know that it's the right time to move on in life. 

Thinking of this has made me think about moving forward with new relationships and making space in my life for new things.  I have thrown out over time, all the things that had energy attached to them, that were given to me in past relationships to make space for a new beginning. 

So when people leave your life, accept that it's part of your life's pathway and that things have to happen this way. Some people may return others may not, but know that they have touched your life for a reason.  But it's how you choose to move forward that is important. If you decide that you haven't had closure, you have to create it. Write that person a letter, do something symbolic to give you that chance to say goodbye and move forward. It will help you in so ways to move on in your life. Your life will flow and you will find that you will no longer be stuck in a rut that you can't get out of, and that is because you have taken charge of it and you are creating your own journey in the way that you need. 

Believe in yourself and know that your journey is how you choose to live it!

Much love

The Greatest Love of All

Well here we are on the ship sailing to the Mexican Riviera and it's hard work and I am pooped from teaching but I have had fun.  As I boarded yesterday, it took me back to how much your life can change in a year.  This time last year I was leaving my marriage after being together for 7 years and married for 5 and starting a fresh, Not knowing where life was going to take me, and boy did life take me!!! It took me on  a whole wealth on emotions. Like a roller coaster. 

For those of you who have followed my blogs you will have seen how life changes, but you can never let it get you down. We all make decisions that aren't perfect for us. We all make choices that are wrong, I know I certainly have, but it's how you come out of them, it's how you look at it and move forward.  And that is what life is about, moving forward and accepting that we are not perfect and that we can change and make things good for us.  

So many times have I looked back and cringed about what I have done, or been embarrassed about a situation, but I don't think there is a single thing that I regret.  I see them as opportunities to make things right. My grandfather always said, never get to my age and wish you had done something, and he was right.  He was also a singer, and 'My Way' was one of his favorite songs, and it was sang tonight on the ship in karaoke… and it made me think of this blog. 

Music has always been important to me and I find my inspiration through songs and I sang 'The greatest love of all' in karaoke… (yes I got up and sang and was more nervous than standing on stage in front of thousands doing what I do) and the song was bout loving yourself and believing in yourself. It's always been an important song for me, and I needed to sing it at this time in my life. 

Over the last year I have changed, I have moved forward and finally, I feel settled, happy and I love who I am. I love what I stand for. I have found the greatest love, and that is inside of who I am. Because if you can't love yourself then how can you start to love another. 

So these two songs inspired me, and I realized that yes, I have had a huge year, with lots of changes, but I have no regrets (just moments of…. 'Oh dear Lisa, why?!?!) but I realized they got me to where I am now, and that finally I am truly very happy and in a place of peace… 

It's not been easy, but so many things have come my way and I have dealt with them, face on. So remember when you have issues that are hard to deal with, stop and think… is this an opportunity, is this something that I need and want… is this right for me. Feel the answer within you, know the answer within you, and honor and respect it. We are not perfect, but live life with passion, and with love in your heart, but remember the first person you have to love… is yourself. You are beautiful, you are amazing, you are courageous. You are perfect… You are YOU!!!

With much love
