Good thing the Andersson's have kleenex here ....

Yesterday I cried more than I have in years.  


As I opened my heart to share my story on the pages of a book I discovered more than I expected.  I found love, I saw selfishness, I felt gratitude, I connected with heartbreak, I saw growth, and I was inspired by the world of possibilities that await me.

I'm at the cabin to write.  I have set up a creative space in the enclosed sun porch.  The weather is sunny with blue skies; elk are eating in the clearing.  


Surrounding me are my computer, all of my journals, books that have inspired me, photos of people that have made a difference in my life, and a big dream of publishing my experiences for all to see.  I want to share my story in hopes of moving others to live their dreams out loud. 


Sometimes I can't even believe my own story ... haha.  If you start to dream with fullness of intention, the universe will put things, people, situations around to to make it happen.  Just try it and see.


Life is amazing.

Labor of Love

I labored most of the weekend at my lovely part time job ... oh so nice to be outta there tonight!  But on Saturday I was blessed with the perfect day.  I took Millie (my scooter) on her second adventure to the foothills of Golden, Colorado.  I found some back roads to get me there safely from Denver and it only took me 45 minutes to get there this time (compared to the 90 minunte ride a few weeks ago).  Proof that practice makes perfect!

We got to see a classic car show.  What fun!  It felt like I was in a small mid-western, country town watching all the people gather in excitement for their annual parade.  Just good ol' folks getting ready for a good ol' time! 

Old Golden Road was lined with the most gorgeous old cars and trucks I've ever seen in one place.  Cars are my sister's thing (you GO girl), but not mine.  One of the coolest things about the day is that I found a 1956 T-Bird dressed in bright, cherry red.  Whoa!  That has been my dream car since high school, but Millie will have to do for now.

Off to write a bit for my book .... that's the love part.  I am working several jobs so that when its time to travel to faraway lands I'll be financially ready this time.  :)  What a concept! 

Sweet Words

Words have power and I am learning how to put my thoughts into words that flow from my heart to yours.  My hope is to inspire people to move into get "unstuck" and do all of those things you have dreamed of doing.  Say poo-poo to fear and take that leap to the unknown and release yourself of limits.  

My book is underway!  I'm writing about the winter journey we took across the northwest for five months.  My daughter and I had amazing experiences as we set out by ourselves with our two cats in a vintage RV.  We met beautiful people who gave their time to us when we were in trouble.  I believe that humanity is basically good, but we get so deeply caought up in the undercurrents of fear that we forget to give.  We forget to love.  What resides at the core of human nature is true compassion and the desire to take care of each other.

The book will be my expression about peace, about love and the great catalyst: coffee.

InJoy, Lisa
