✨ 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...

🎶 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 ...

The People Who Speak Your Language 🌹

Come, come sit with me, grab your drink and pull up a chair. Okay, I know I hit you with a good blog on Monday, but you know me — my head just keeps moving from one thought to another. And hun, the thought that popped out this time was this: When was the last time you had a conversation with someone you truly trusted? I mean really trusted. The kind of person who would listen. Wouldn't mock you. Wouldn't weaponize what you tell them later. Would genuinely care about what you're saying. The kind of person who lets you be completely yourself. No filters. No pretending. No editing. Because that's what trust does. It gives us a place where we can stop editing ourselves. And the more I thought about that, the more I wondered... How many people are walking around every day editing who they truly are because they don't trust that people will like the real version of them? Take me for example. Lord knows I don't always say the right t...

What Will It Cost If I Don't? 🌹

Come, come sit with me, grab your drink and pull up a chair. Okay, well this thought has been sitting with me for a bit, and I know some of you will feel it while others will say, "No, that's not me." Sit for a moment and think about this sentence: What happens when communication breaks down? I know you're sitting there thinking, "Lisa, there are so many ways we communicate with people today." We text. We email. We send emojis. We comment. We like posts. But is that really talking to a person? Mmm... now you're feeling what I'm saying. Sit with that thought for a moment. In our world today, I believe we're forgetting how to truly see and listen to people. Because communication isn't just talking. It's also listening. It's hearing something uncomfortable without immediately becoming defensive. It's being willing to say something vulnerable without knowing how the other person will respond. I've t...

The Love Hidden in a Home-Cooked Meal 🌹

Come come sit with me, grab a drink and pull up a chair. The last couple of weeks I have been thinking about my mom. Okay, okay... my mom and food. 😄 In my opinion, my mom was a great cook. Child, let me tell you, whenever I went to visit her, I already knew what was coming. The first night would be donairs. The second night? My favourite. Ribs, rice, and tea biscuits. Now let me tell you something... I love tea biscuits. LOVE them. To this day, they are one of the things I have never been able to make quite like my mom did. She would make this sauce to go over the ribs and rice, and it was so good. If I visited in the summer, there would usually be blueberry pie. If I came in the winter, it was apple pie. The funny thing is, when I think about the people in my life, so many of them have a food attached to them. My bestie's husband loves to cook, and let me tell you, that man can make French toast. Mmm mmm. 😄 You know the kind where you tell yourself you...

🌹 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,...
