Start Now - A gentle nudge toward courage and change

Start Now

🌹 A gentle nudge toward courage and change

Come—come sit with me for a minute.
Do you hear that?
You’re probably asking, hear what?
That little voice that whispers, start… start now.

I don’t know what you’re being nudged to begin, but the time is now. And I can almost hear you saying, Lisa, I can’t do it. But how will you ever know if you can—or can’t—if you never start?

At some point in our lives we all feel those quiet nudges: take a dance class, start a business, book that trip you’ve been dreaming about. So why don’t we move when the whisper comes?

Most of us are afraid of disappointment. But if you never try, how will you ever know what could have bloomed from that tiny whisper to begin?

I heard a quote the other day that’s been echoing in my mind: “What you are not changing, you are choosing.” And it stopped me. Because it’s true—every time we stay in the same place, we’re still making a choice. Maybe not an active one, but a choice all the same. We can choose the comfort of what we know, or the courage of what could be.

And in all honesty, I tried something new—and hun, let me tell you, it was the best thing I’ve ever done. Scary, yes… but it woke me up. That feeling of stepping into something unknown but alive? It reminded me that growth doesn’t come from perfect timing—it comes from brave timing.

And no, I’m not telling you what it was—at least not yet. 😉 Maybe one day.

Maybe this is your sign to do something different.
Do one thing that wakes your curiosity again—dust off an old dream, rearrange a corner of your space, sign up for something that makes you smile. Do something that reminds you you’re alive—that you’re still growing.

You don’t have to leap. Just lean toward something new and let curiosity pull you forward. Because nothing changes until you do something different.

I know it takes courage to step outside your comfort zone, but stop for a moment and imagine what could happen if you took just one small step. Maybe a whole new world would open for you.

Listen, I’m not saying it will be easy—we all love our comfort. But maybe, just maybe, it’s time to try something new.

✨ Closing Thought

The first step doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to be taken. Because movement invites momentum, and courage builds quietly—one small yes at a time.

“Every new beginning starts with a small yes whispered in faith.”

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...
