🌙 Being Alone Doesn’t Mean You’re Missing Something — It Might Mean You’ve Found Yourself

When the world feels full but your space feels quiet…
There are seasons when everyone seems to be gathering — dinners, celebrations, photo-perfect moments — and yet your space feels still.
Maybe your calendar isn’t packed. Maybe your weekend looks different.

I’ve learned that being alone doesn’t have to mean something’s missing.
Sometimes it’s exactly where you rediscover everything you are.

The truth about being alone

We’re told that joy means company and success means motion. But real peace often whispers in the quiet — in slow mornings, in your own laughter, in making dinner for one and realizing you’re still smiling.

Being alone doesn’t mean love skipped over you. It might mean love is teaching you to see yourself first — the way God already does.

Chosen solitude vs. unchosen silence

Some people crave quiet; others wake up to it unexpectedly. Both carry lessons.

If your solitude wasn’t chosen, I see you. The silence can ache. But stillness doesn’t equal absence — it’s space where healing begins.

And if you did choose this peace, honor it. You’re not antisocial; you’re aligned. Sometimes you have to step away from noise to hear your own soul clearly.

Gratitude in every form

Today I’m grateful for space — to think, to breathe, to dream.
For learning to enjoy my own company, for rediscovering laughter without an audience, for the quiet strength of rebuilding from within.

Gratitude isn’t reserved for crowded tables or big milestones. It lives in simple peace — the kind you feel when you finally like the person you’re becoming.

A gentle reminder

If this season finds you alone, let it also find you growing. Let it find you resting. Let it find you remembering that you are still surrounded by love — even if it looks different right now.

Because being alone doesn’t mean you’re missing something.
It might just mean you’ve found yourself. 🤍

Maybe being alone isn’t empty — maybe it’s where your soul learns to breathe. 🌙

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...

🌹 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...

Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder

The right eyes don’t change you — they remind you of who you’ve been all along. 🌹 Have you ever met someone who looked at you and, for the first time, you believed them? Not because they said the right words, but because something in their gaze felt honest — like they saw past the noise, past the effort, and straight into you . Romance stories are full of that moment — the shift from doubt to being seen. But sometimes, it takes a while to learn that lesson in real life. 🌹 Lessons in Love (and Laughter) Romance stories keep reminding us that beauty isn’t polished; it’s personal. In Jude’s Law by Lori Foster (Kindle) or Audible , Jude’s the gorgeous, confident hero who could have anyone — but he falls for May, a woman who doesn’t see herself the way he does. She’s real, grounded, and refreshingly unaware of her own shine. The lesson? Sometimes the person who truly sees you isn’t trying to change you; they’re just try...
