✨ I Think I Need a Minute

Come, come sit with me, grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair... Okay, real talk here... I am so out of sync right now, it isn't even funny. 😂 Y'all, my year has been moving soooo fast, putting one leg out to slow it down has NOT been working. 😂 Let me start with work. I enjoy my job, but let me tell you, it has gotten even more interesting when you throw in travel... The stories I have about the airport... making sure you have everything you need to travel with, going through security, then you get the rental car and you just never know what you are going to get. 😂 And I haven't even started doing my job yet. Okay, you got your first week of travel done and you're on your way back home... HOME. Mmmm... but when you get there, you want to meet up with friends and family because you've been gone. You need to do laundry, and then you need to get ready for your week... This. THIS has been me for the last five months. So I am sitting here today telling...

A Few Small Ways to Add Self-Care into Your Day

Come, come sit with me… Grab your drink and pull up a chair.

Okay… let’s talk for a moment about self-care.

The world today is moving so fast…
and somewhere in all of that, we forget to take the time to care for ourselves.

We’re always doing for everyone else in our lives… or there’s always something that needs to get done.

And before we know it… it’s bedtime.

And we sit there and think…
what did I actually do for myself today?

Where, in all of that chaos… did we take a moment to care for ourselves?

And it made me think about the small things that can change a whole day…

So here are a few things I thought of—
little ways to give yourself a few minutes of self-care…
to put a smile on your face…
and to give yourself a bit of love as you finish your day.

  • Making a cup of tea or coffee and just sitting for a minute
  • Cooking something simple that you love
  • Stepping outside for a bit of fresh air
  • Putting on your favorite music and letting it play in the background
  • Sending a quick text or making a phone call to your bestie… that should put a smile on your face
  • Or a call with family if they make you laugh (mine make me laugh a lot 😄)
  • Taking a few quiet minutes with no noise, no distractions
  • Wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket and just relaxing
  • Reading a few pages of your favorite book—even if it’s just at lunchtime
  • Even taking a 20-minute nap during the day… sometimes you just need it 😄

It doesn’t have to be anything big…

Sometimes it’s the smallest moments that can shift a whole day.

Taking a few minutes for yourself matters.

The point is to stop… and catch your breath.

✨ Whisper: Sometimes the smallest moments are the ones that remind us to come back to ourselves.

If you ever feel like reaching out or keeping the conversation going, you can always find me over at loveandlifewithlisa.com 🌹.

And if you’d rather listen, you can find me on my podcast, Love and Life with Lisa, where I share a little more of these moments.

🌹 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...

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...

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,...
