The Road Does Go Both Ways 🚗

Come, come sit with me, grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair... You all, I was travelling last week for work. Can I tell you? I learned a few things. Okay... a lot of things. 😂 Oh... before I go any further, the trip actually started with an upgrade on the plane. Now, that upgrade was... interesting, to say the least. 👀😂 Let's just say the lady sitting beside me gave me a travel story I'll never forget. I'll save the details for another blog because trust me... that one deserves a blog all on its own. 😂 Let's start with this... I was nervous. Like, really nervous. Would I get my point across? Would I talk too fast? Too slow? Would they like me? Even though I've talked to them for a long time, meeting people in person is different. A million thoughts were running through my head. The other thing was I had a lot of driving to do between meetings... so you guessed it... MORE thinking. Thank God I love music because, without it, me and my th...

🌹 There's Always a Chair Waiting for You Here

Come, come sit with me... grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair. 🌹 I bet some of you have wondered why I always tell you to grab a drink and pull up a chair. LOL. It's because when I think about you reading my blog, that's exactly how I picture it. I picture you curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee or tea. Maybe you're taking a little break from your day, sitting on the porch, or winding down before bed. I want you to be comfortable. I want this to feel like we're sitting together, chatting about life. I think part of that comes from how I grew up. When I was a kid, Sunday dinners at my grandparents' house were just what we did. The whole family would gather around the table. There was always food, laughter, stories, and time spent together. Those dinners weren't fancy, but they were full of love and connection. Later, when I moved away from my family, I found a second family with my bestie and her family. For more than ten years, Fri...

I Swore I'd Never Say That! 🌹

Come, come sit with me... grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair. 🌹 Oh child... 😂 Remember when you were a kid and your parents used to say things like... "Were you born in a barn?" "Turn the lights off!" "Money doesn't grow on trees." "I'm not made of money." "Because I said so." "Close the fridge!" 😂😂😂 I bet some of you are already laughing because you heard your parents' voices as you read every single one of those! Come on now... you know exactly what I'm talking about. I used to hear those sayings and think to myself, "I swear I'll NEVER say that when I grow up!" Well... How's that working out for you? 😂 🚪 "Were you born in a barn?" 😂 I swear... every time I left the door open, that sentence came flying across the house. I don't know if I was letting the cold air in or the bugs in, but apparently I wasn't born in a barn! 🤣 ...

Finding My Way Back to Balance 🌹

Come, come sit with me. Grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair. Oh girl... I have been so busy these last few months with work, travelling for work, and writing to all of you that I think I've lost a little balance in my life. I have a feeling you know exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe for you it's trying to balance work and family. Maybe it's family and friends. Maybe you're raising children, caring for aging parents, or trying to find time for yourself somewhere in between. Sometimes it feels like we're trying to fit ten hours into five. We keep saying, "Once this week is over..." or "Once things settle down..." But then another week comes, another responsibility shows up, and before we know it, we're running in circles. Somewhere along the way, we stop asking ourselves a simple question... When was the last time I felt balanced? Then something happened that made me realize I had been asking myself the wrong quest...

🎶 If Someone Looked at Your Playlist... 🌹

Come, come sit with me. Grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair. Oh... let's talk about music. Isn't it amazing what one song can do? It can calm your soul after a long day, make you smile for no reason at all, or take you right back to a moment you haven't thought about in years. One minute you're driving to work... The next minute, a song comes on the radio and suddenly you're remembering your first love. LOL... child, maybe your first heartbreak too. A song can remind you of your wedding day, a family road trip, dancing around the kitchen with your mom, a night out with friends, or that one summer you'll never forget. It's funny how music doesn't just play in the background... It becomes part of our story. Let's just say I have a ton of songs that can take me from laughter to sadness in two seconds. Some songs I love simply because of the beat. Others... I really listen to the words. There are days when I need to feel e...

Dust Off That Bucket List 🌹

Come come sit with me, grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair. Let's talk about our bucket lists that we have secretly done. Some items are easy to cross off. Others take years, a little courage, a bit of luck, or sometimes a whole lot of patience. But I think we all have a list, whether we've written it down or not. LOL, I'm going to tell you a few of mine... not all of them, but some. I would love to travel to Ireland and Greece. Those are right at the top of my list. I have also always wanted to go whitewater rafting... mmmm, but that one is going to take a lot of courage. The funny thing is, we start these lists early in life, but life tends to get in the way and we forget about them. Work, families, responsibilities, bills, and just trying to get through the day can push those dreams to the side. Before we know it, years have gone by, and those things we once talked about doing are sitting quietly in the back of our minds, waiting for us to remember them....

Nobody Remembers Perfect 🌹

Come come sit with me, grab your drink and pull up a chair... So I have a question for you to think about for a moment. Yesterday I was sitting on the patio and I got to thinking... lol I know that is dangerous for me because my mind can take me in so many directions. 😂 Okay, here is the question: Why do we always look for perfect instead of just enjoying the memories that got us there? Think about that one memory that makes you smile so hard you almost laugh until you cry. Maybe it is a family gathering, a vacation, a holiday, or just a random Tuesday that somehow became unforgettable. I have a lot of those memories because A. I love to laugh and B. I have family and friends who make me laugh all the time. The funny thing is, when I think back on some of my favorite memories, none of them were perfect. So there was this one summer when I was a teenager. Mom and Dad were working and we were home. LOL my brother had his friend over and they were bugging me. They went outside to ...

🌹 Why Whispers with Lisa Exists

 We all have a book that we hide. The one we slip into our bag but never read in public. The one we devour late at night under the covers, praying no one asks what kept us up until 2 a.m. The one we love, but never admit out loud because someone might judge us. For some, it’s a steamy romance. For others, it’s a fantasy with a wild love triangle. For a few, it’s a sweet, cozy story that seems “too light” for serious readers. Whatever it is, it whispers to us. And whispers are powerful. Whispers Aren’t Shame — They’re Passion We’ve been taught to feel embarrassed by the books that bring us the most joy. To call them guilty pleasures — as if pleasure needs an apology. But here’s the truth: 📖 Whispers are not shame. 📖 Whispers are intimacy. 📖 Whispers are freedom — the kind that lets us escape, dream, and feel alive. A Safe Place for Hidden Loves That’s why I created Whispers with Lisa . This is not just a blog. It’s a soft corner of the internet where you don’t h...

Rich in Love: The Heroes Who Held Me Together

Come, come sit with me… I have a story to tell you about my heroes. Not the kind you find in books or movies — mine are real. Mine have been with me since the beginning. Yes, they’re my brothers. But to me? They’re the boys . All my friends know about the boys. And I bet you’re wondering why they’re my heroes. Well… they’ve loved me, protected me, and guided me when I needed it (yes, I rebelled at the guiding — what little sister wouldn’t?) . My parents always told us that family is everything , that people will come and go in your life, but family will remain. And for us? That has always been true. The boys are like night and day — one quiet, one bold; one steady, one wild. But when we’re all together, we fit . There’s a rhythm to us, a dance we’ve been doing since childhood. And don’t even get me started on the banter — that’s a sport in our family. Teasing, laughing, pushing buttons, and loving each other through every moment. We fight, sure. We annoy each other,...

Obsession or Love? Why We Can’t Resist Morally Grey Heroes

Image
Some heroes fade the moment you close the book. And then there are the others — the ones who move in, kick off their boots, and live rent free in your head for months (or years). Those are the heroes I can’t forget. The ones who made me laugh, made me swoon, and sometimes made me yell at the page. They’re not the shiny new names topping TikTok right now. They’re older, obsession-worthy legends — men whose loyalty makes them unforgettable. This is my list of 8 heroes who prove that obsession and loyalty often go hand-in-hand … and why they’ll never leave my heart. 💕 1. Hawke Snow — Kiss of Snow (Nalini Singh) Alpha wolf, stubborn as they come, and fiercely protective. Hawke fights love every step of the way — but when he finally gives in, it’s all-consuming obsession disguised as loyalty. 2. Kaleb Krychek — Heart of Obsidian (Nalini Singh) Dark, dangerous, and unstoppable. Kaleb is feared by everyone — except the one woman he loves with a devotion that could sh...
