The Road Does Go Both Ways 🚗

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

You all, I was travelling last week for work. Can I tell you? I learned a few things.

Okay... a lot of things. 😂

Oh... before I go any further, the trip actually started with an upgrade on the plane.

Now, that upgrade was... interesting, to say the least. 👀😂

Let's just say the lady sitting beside me gave me a travel story I'll never forget.

I'll save the details for another blog because trust me... that one deserves a blog all on its own. 😂

Let's start with this... I was nervous. Like, really nervous.

Would I get my point across? Would I talk too fast? Too slow? Would they like me? Even though I've talked to them for a long time, meeting people in person is different. A million thoughts were running through my head.

The other thing was I had a lot of driving to do between meetings... so you guessed it... MORE thinking.

Thank God I love music because, without it, me and my thoughts would have had far too much time together. 😂

This is me throwing my hands up in the air. 😂

Now picture me on this work road trip... all by myself. Just me, my thoughts, my music, and the open road.

So, number one... I've had my car for quite a while. I used to buy a new one every four years or so.

Well... after driving all those rental cars lately, I realized something.

That need?

Taken care of. 😂

Second... where I was travelling, people drove FAST. And I mean FAST.

You either kept up with traffic, or you became the hazard on the road.

Can you believe this? My new nickname became “Speedy.” 😂

Third... the weather.

It started out cold... well, cold to me. 😂 Then, Lord, did it get hot.

Now, you all know I'm not an air-conditioning kind of girl... but by the middle of the day? That air conditioner was on FULL BLAST.

Okay, okay... I just had to get those little things out first. 😄

Oh... and can I just say... I didn't see a single police officer until the fourth day!

I believe with all my heart that I have a heartfelt connection with my clients. They mean something to me.

But sometimes I wonder... does the road go both ways?

I think that was part of my fear.

Would we still have that same connection in person?

I am so happy to say...

YES.

A thousand times, yes.

There was straight talk because, after all, it was a work trip.

But there was also laughter... of course.

My clients have seen my many faces, but when I am there in person, they get to see even more of me. My hands are going when I talk, and when I laugh, my head gets thrown back.

You can see and feel the joy.

Then there were the hugs... and those smiles that reached their eyes as I was leaving.

I got to spend time with some really amazing people.

I got to hear their stories, their experiences, and a little piece of who they are.

Those memories will stay with me for a very long time.

Sometimes we don't realize how much a connection means until we're standing face to face.

Last week reminded me that the road does go both ways.

And for that... I came home with a very full heart. 🌹

Thank you for sitting with me today. 🌹

🌹 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...

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,...

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...
