Lisa, I’m so sorry for what happened to your dear husband. Glad to hear he’s doing better now. I was so excited to see your name pop up in my inbox, I’ve truly missed reading your beautiful and inspiring words 🤍 Sending so much love your way!
Oh Jenna thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words. I've really missed you and your beautiful words too. It will be a slow and steady process coming back into substack, but it feels good to be here again. There will be a Rooms I absolutely love dropping soon too. Sending love right back at you Jenna xx
I’m so pleased to hear your husband is doing ok! Goodness me, what a tumultuous time for you all.
I cherished deeply reading your words on surrendering and choosing over chasing. The gold found in through the darkness.
“I’ve been raised to only receive when I have worked hard for something. To not give in to my desires. To only experience pleasure at the end of a hard day’s work.” This quote.
I feel sooo many of us relate to this…I know I do. Being unable to receive, that has come from such deep conditioning and programming in my life, and, like you, I’m sooooo ready to receive aaall the good stuff now. Joy being a top priority. Pleasure. More ease.
Such an inspirational read! Thank you! 🙏🏻 And I wish aaaall your desires come true plus a gazillion!🪄✨
Oh Suzie, thank you so very much. Your words have really touched me and mean the absolute world, thank you. 🙏🏻 I’m so glad it resonated with you! Hears to receiving and brining in all of our desires 💫😘😘😘
Oh wow I have no words. Coming from a farming family, I’ve always had so much respect and maybe a bit too much fear of the big animals.
I’m so glad your husband is now okay, it’s so scary what could have happened. And that such an incident puts everything in life into question makes total sense, a wake up call and opportunity to shift into what you really desire! I admire your strength Lisa!
Welcome back here, I missed your words and beautiful interior picks. Xx
Thanks so much Carmen. Means the world to me. It’s a tough gig farming. So much can go wrong so quickly. Your support means the world to me thank you! Feels good to be back xox
Oh, Lis. I'm so sorry for what you and your husband have been through. I was thinking of you earlier this week and wondering how you were and what you're up to. I dropped out of Substack world for a while too but for no such legitimate reason. I'm so pleased you're back--and making this space and your real world space what you truly need, not what you think it should be. Sending you huge love. xx
Thank you so much Miranda. I’ve missed our back and forth chats here. It’s get noisy sometimes doesn’t it and it’s easy to get lost in the app now. I’m certainly not following any rules here or committing to posting regularly, just when feels right. Thank you for your support. Loads of love right back at your Miranda xxx
I’ve missed it too! Like you, I’m trying to be a little gentler about posting times and schedules. I’ll hope to publish weekly, but if I don’t that’s okay. Let’s remind each other of that. xx
Oh Lisa, this is heartbreaking and powerful and also hopeful and inspiring. I can’t begin to imagine what you and your family have been through. I am looking forward to reading your future letters. I have taken the decision to close my illustration business, as its story has come to an end and new stories are beginning. I thought it was what I wanted, to be a full time illustrator and earn a living from drawing, but it turns out that’s not the case. There wasn’t really a dramatic or traumatic event that triggered it, just a slow realisation that the constraints that come with earning a living (or trying to) were not constraints I was willing to live with. Sending heartfelt wishes of continued recovery of body and soul for all of you ❤️🩹
Thank you so much Emily. We are now in such a good and exciting place. I’m so glad (albeit hard to go through) that you’ve come to a place of recognising what does and doesn’t work for you. It’s so key to unlocking your fullest potential and living your best life, when you unlock your true core values. Sending you loads of love for your new adventure - Lis xx
I can’t wait to see what direction you and your husband choose. I feel like I need to have a similar conversation with my husband. Hope your husband’s healing is quick and easy, although I’m sure it doesn’t feel that way.
Thanks so much Brenda. He’s now fully recovered and life is good. I just felt like I need to share where I’ve been before I set off on where I’m heading 🙏🏻😘😘
My goodness this is powerful. “I’m not chasing, I’m choosing.” 😭💕Couldn’t love it more. Such hard-won clarity and super inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with us. xx
