Your Girl Has Been Keeping Something From You... 😂

Come, come sit with me. Pull up a chair and grab yourself a drink. Let's talk about houses. You know, when we think about building a house, we often think about the foundation, the walls, the roof, and all the little things that make it a home. But a house isn't just about the walls that surround us. It's about what happens inside those walls. It's about the stories we share, the laughter, the conversations, the memories we make, and the people who come through our doors. And over the past year, without even realizing it at first, I've been building a house of my own. I call it Love and Life with Lisa. I didn't start out with a blueprint. I didn't know how many rooms I would build or even what the finished house would look like. I just knew I wanted to create a place where people could come, pull up a chair, and feel comfortable enough to stay awhile. And little by little, I've been adding rooms. The first room I built was the Refle...

🪑 I Jumped In With Both Feet… What a Ride It's Been So Far ☕

Come, come sit with me, grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair….

Today’s blog is a big one for me.

It marks a place that I never imagined I would get to, and quite honestly, it’s because of you that I got here.

Today marks 100 blogs.

When I wrote my very first post, I never imagined I would one day be sitting here writing my one hundredth. I wasn’t thinking about numbers back then. I was simply hoping that maybe, just maybe, something I wrote would connect with someone.

I started this blog because I wanted to connect with other people who love to read books with a little spice… or maybe a lot of spice. 📚😉

I thought we would spend our time talking about our favourite characters, the books we couldn’t put down, and those stories that stayed with us long after we turned the last page.

But somewhere along the way… something changed.

I started talking about life.

I started talking about love… because we all know how I feel about love.

I found myself writing about relationships, family, friendships, dreams, grief, laughter, kindness, and all those little moments that make up a life.

Somehow, this little blog became so much more than books.

The truth is, I don’t have all the answers.

I’m walking through this life just like you.

Some days I get it right. Some days I don’t. Some days I laugh until my stomach hurts, and other days I question everything.

I’m still learning.

I’m still growing.

I’m still making mistakes.

I don’t write because I’ve figured life out.

I write because I’m walking this journey too, and maybe something I’ve learned, experienced, or wondered about will make you stop and think… or remind you that you’re not alone.

Because the truth is… none of us have life all figured out.

And I have to tell you…

There were days when I thought about quitting.

Days when I wondered if I should stop writing altogether.

Life gets busy. Work gets busy. Sometimes I questioned whether anyone was really reading or if what I had to say even mattered.

But every time I stepped away…

Something kept pulling me back.

The more I think about it, the more I realize what that something was.

It was the connection.

Some blogs made me laugh while I was writing them.

Others had me sitting quietly, wondering if I should even hit publish.

Some came from moments of pure joy.

Others came from seasons that were much harder to put into words.

And I have a feeling many of you have lived through those seasons too.

But every single one of them came from my heart.

But here’s where my gratitude and joy come from…

I may not see you, but I feel your connection.

Every time you come back and read another blog, listen to a podcast, or spend a few minutes here with me, I feel it.

And that, my people, is what keeps me writing.

Here’s another truth…

Now, when I look at a chair, it has meaning for me.

It’s no longer just a chair.

It’s a place where conversations happen.

It’s a place where connections are made.

No matter how big or how small…

Every conversation matters.

And every connection matters.

Maybe that’s why I always ask you to pull up a chair.

Not because I have all the answers…

But because I believe life is a little easier when we don’t have to walk through it alone.

So, to every one of you who has read one blog… or all 100…

Thank you.

Thank you for pulling up a chair.

Thank you for sharing a little piece of your day with me.

I don’t know where this journey will take us next…

But I do know one thing.

As long as I have something on my heart to share…

There will always be a chair waiting for you here.

Love,
Lisa 🌹

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,...

🌹 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...
