✨ 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...

🪑 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 re...

Before the Stories Are Gone 🌹

Come, come sit with me, grab yourself a drink, and pull up a chair. I have been thinking a lot about the treasures we may be missing out on. And I bet you're asking, "What treasures, Lisa?" Let me tell you... The treasures are our grandparents. Yup. I sometimes wonder if we're missing out on one of life's greatest gifts... the older generations. Not because they have all the answers. Not because they never made mistakes. But because they carry decades of stories, wisdom, laughter, heartbreak, and memories that will disappear one day if we never take the time to ask. I loved sitting in my grandparents' homes, especially when my grandmothers were cooking for us. There was something special about watching them make a meal without ever looking at a recipe. The measurements lived in their hands, their hearts, and years of experience. My dad's mom used to laugh and say to my father, "Why does this child always ask ‘why’ after every answe...

🕊️ Am I Enough?

Come, come sit with me, grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair... Let me start by saying these last few months have been an adjustment—but a good one. I've been busy. Learning. Meeting new people. Finding my footing in a new season. Like many new beginnings, there have been moments where I've questioned myself and wondered if I'm doing everything right. But through it all, there's been one thought that's been living rent-free in my head... Why do we spend so much time wondering if we're enough? Sit with that for a moment. I don't think it's because we're weak. I think it's because we care. We want to be a good employee. A good parent. A good friend. A good partner. A good son or daughter. A good person. Somewhere along the way, our desire to do our best quietly becomes the voice that asks... "Am I enough?" And there it is again... Am I enough? Before you know it, your mind starts wandering down so many ...

📚 I'm Chasing That Feeling Again

Come, come sit with me, grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair... Sooo... I saw something on the internet the other day that really got me thinking. You all know that I think romance and connection make the world go around... mmm... well, I like almost the same thing in my books. Now don't get me wrong. I love a good insta-love every once in a while, and if they meet and end up in bed that same night... well, child, that's all good too. 😂 But not all the time. Give me the slow-burn romance. Give me the stolen glances. The accidental touches. The late-night conversations. The moments when they're fighting their feelings because they're terrified to admit what they're becoming to each other. I want the tension. I WANT the banter. Girl... give me a man who can flirt, tease, challenge her a little, make me laugh, and sprinkle in some dirty talk at just the right moment... Oh Lord, I think I just fainted there for a second. 😂 Now don'...

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 th...

🌹 There's Always a Chair Waiting for You Here

Come, come sit with me... grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair. 🌹 I bet some of you have wondered why I always tell you to grab a drink and pull up a chair. LOL. It's because when I think about you reading my blog, that's exactly how I picture it. I picture you curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee or tea. Maybe you're taking a little break from your day, sitting on the porch, or winding down before bed. I want you to be comfortable. I want this to feel like we're sitting together, chatting about life. I think part of that comes from how I grew up. When I was a kid, Sunday dinners at my grandparents' house were just what we did. The whole family would gather around the table. There was always food, laughter, stories, and time spent together. Those dinners weren't fancy, but they were full of love and connection. Later, when I moved away from my family, I found a second family with my bestie and her family. For more than ten years, Fri...

I Swore I'd Never Say That! 🌹

Come, come sit with me... grab yourself a drink and pull up a chair. 🌹 Oh child... 😂 Remember when you were a kid and your parents used to say things like... "Were you born in a barn?" "Turn the lights off!" "Money doesn't grow on trees." "I'm not made of money." "Because I said so." "Close the fridge!" 😂😂😂 I bet some of you are already laughing because you heard your parents' voices as you read every single one of those! Come on now... you know exactly what I'm talking about. I used to hear those sayings and think to myself, "I swear I'll NEVER say that when I grow up!" Well... How's that working out for you? 😂 🚪 "Were you born in a barn?" 😂 I swear... every time I left the door open, that sentence came flying across the house. I don't know if I was letting the cold air in or the bugs in, but apparently I wasn't born in a barn! 🤣 ...

🌹 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,...
