You are worth it! 

01 May 2021

Have you ever wondered why we picked the life we are living, the people we are loving, and the career we are waking up every day and pushing ourselves to do no matter how much stress it puts us under, or how much time it takes from our family? or the strain it puts on our bodies. The majority of the time we do not question it because we are taught that this is what happens once you leave the establishment of school or college. So we work, establish relationships, get married, divorced, work, maybe have kids, work, have short holidays in between all that, and retire if we are lucky enough to then eventually die. Now there are a small group of people that live a life completely different to this, due to the money they are born into, or the country they live in, or the strong-mindedness to be different and embrace life, but this is a very small group compared to the majority. During the last year, we have had to change the way we live due to a worldwide pandemic that told us to stay at home. This has been a very challenging year for most as it has taken away our freedoms, but every silver lining. This pandemic helped people to awake to the fact that they were working far too hard and not spending enough time with their families, or taking care of themselves, and sometimes it takes a big red flag to make us realize this. But back to why. If you have read my introduction on my website you will have read me saying about, just before we are conceived we are approached by an angel who taps us on the shoulder and says, ok then let's be having ya, time to get back down to earth to learn a few more lessons. But why ?? Why am I being punished to live on a planet that has so much sadness, pain, destruction, and death only to end up here again? Now don't get me wrong there is so much happiness here on earth too, but the majority of us don't know how to find it on a full-time basis, just clumps of it here and there like birthdays, weddings, births, and other happy celebrations, that when we are back to the daily grind of work on a Monday it can be hard to stay on that happily satisfying buzz. It is so hard also to avoid hearing about the next person that has a horrible disease or has had their heartbroken, etc. Hell on earth is what it can feel like sometimes, and not even thinking about the people who are starving with no water, homes, and children, surrounded by abuse, violence, and danger. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, I'm just saying it like it is. So What is the recipe for living a happy life on a full-time basis? How do we find a balance of loving your work, attracting positive people to you, positive relationships, a healthy body, and mind and an abundant supply of money?  It really is not very complicated, but it does mean having to unlearn everything you have ever been taught. Self Love, Self Respect, and Self Worth. This should be the first lesson you received in your early life. It is no one's fault well not the fault of the last generations before you, because they were not taught it either. This lesson is that you and only you are the most important person in your own life. You are the one who was chosen to come back and learn something about yourself that nobody else can do for you, only you. You were put here to Love yourself so much so that nothing in this world can bring you down to such a level that anybody or anything could hurt you and you would only choose positive experiences for yourself and anyone who came into your life full stop. It is not selfish to look after number one because when number one is happy, number two will follow suit or number one will help number two to feel the love they are feeling. The ingredients are very clear and simple to living a better life, but the instructions can be hard to follow. I myself am still learning to love myself wholly and completely, and the only thing that works is practice and patience. Start by telling yourself you love yourself, and really look into your eyes when you do it. Also know that you are amazing and you deserve a positive balanced life in every way. We all have to start somewhere to change our lives and then you can help someone else change theirs. You are worth it. So that is my rant for today. Much Love and Blessings to you. Lisa Marie xxx

My First BWhy, How & When ?​

01 April 2021

Why, how, and when did I end up here? The answer is very clear to me now, but it took 40 odd years to figure it out and I'm sure there is more to figure out yet. But I'm an Indigo Aries Person and I usually take the most non-practical and unconventional routes to get to where I'm going. But one thing I know for sure is I did it my way, and no one stood a chance to stop me from being who or what I am. I can wholeheartedly say I trusted every instinct I have ever had, even if it meant I had to learn the hard way and I don't regret any of it. Being into angels, fairies, spirit, and energy healing doesn't always go down very well with some people, in fact, it can change their impression of you very fast, so most people don't let on to others they believe in invisible beings of light and winged creatures. I on the other hand have never been afraid to tell people about my beliefs and I am very used to being looked at with little smirks, squinty eyes, and crinkled foreheads. There are even groups of people that pray for me to stop doing my work because they think I work with the dark side. I am truly grateful for their concern and I send their many prayers back to them in an abundance of love and blessings. But I have to say there is more folk that are so open and understanding to my beliefs. As a child, I was shy, unconfident in the power of my voice and my self-worth was very low ( not the fault of anybody, it came with the package - lessons to be learned). But the unknown was normal to me and I never really questioned it or thought it was unusual.  As a child, my poor mother had her hands full with my screaming fits of - "there's something in the wardrobe, under the bed, or the people in the pictures are moving or I can hear people talking". She brought me to the doctor on many an occasion to check that I hadn't some kind of brain disorder, but my childhood doctor always reassured her and me that I was fine and would grow out of it eventually. Little did he know!!! hahaha. Only joking! My childhood consisted of long playful days, playing in the fresh air and always looking for magical adventures either alone or with my friends. I loved hearing stories of ghosts, leprechauns, and fairies. I used to stay with a friend sometimes and she lived in the countryside and we would spend hours exploring the land looking for these magical beings, and listening to the folklore of the land from others. I loved it so much and gave me the foundation to be open to all other levels. I had a very powerful imagination and I knew on some level I'd been here before in other lives, and I often felt homesick for the familiar I'd known before. I would get funny feelings in my stomach and heart that would make me feel sad but also loved. As a child, I spent much time on my own. Life was very different then, there was not as much to do back in the '80s and if you were at all open to energies these were definitely the perfect times to be open to it all. No wifi, mobiles, and satellites like there is today interfering with our bodies and minds. Food was pure and we ate less crap. It is easy to write this looking back. Even though I was mostly happy, I felt sad a lot and as I said lonely for something I didn't know of yet. The first memory I have as a baby is of me floating over my Cross pushchair looking down and seeing myself fast asleep in it while my parents watched television in the same room. Some would say that was a dream, but you know when you know what is true and what is not. I was a strange little girl indeed. I was so sensitive and I was often sick with something physical. I didn't like school very much and would dread it most days. Academically not great, It was just not the way I was wired. I got into trouble in class often and was deemed one of the trouble makers, but I was actually a good child and was terrified of teachers and adults, so I kept quiet usually. But I did like to have fun and laugh. As time passed and my awareness of spirit got stronger  I tried very hard to close my energies down and I eventually managed it in my early teens. I become the typical teen and rebelled against my inner spiritual self. I wanted to grow up and have fun and do everything I could that would be opposite to spiritual ( of course I did not know what spiritual was back then) and I became the average teen of the nineties and had lots of fun. Remember though, It is easy to write about it now as I know now the story so far. It is just like doing a jigsaw, when all the pieces come together the picture becomes clearer. I have to say myself, It's a very interesting story, because now I see the plan and why I am here doing what I'm doing. I will continue explaining it over time to you and hopefully, it might help you or someone else understand their journey or why you were sad or confused, or why a child is sad or frightened. We are each on a journey somewhere. Today think back to your childhood, tune into how you felt, was there anything you may have experienced that was a little bit different. I hope you enjoy my writings and follow me on my journey of putting the puzzle of our existence together. We all have a purpose here and we have so much to learn from a spiritual energy aspect.  So for now.

Much Love and Joy
