The winds are changing again. I can feel the pull within and without. This time around I feel more ready than ever before. This time I'm much more grounded, safe, and secure in knowing who I am. This time I'm getting out of my own way and deciding to give myself what I've been asking for.  The changes are not forced upon me or feel like they are backing me into a corner. I'm making the decision to bring on the change. I'm ready for this new day, this new feeling, this new place in my life.  What a relief to be able to say that. What have you been asking for that you haven't been getting because you're standing in your way? You don't have to share it here if you don't want to. This is just a question to get you thinking. A question that you know needs an answer.  I've been talking about traveling so much lately, and just to know my dreams are coming true feels so, so good! The picture above is not mine. I didn't take

I'm very excited about taking on this challenge. I'll be documenting my journey as I go and would love for you to join in if you desire.  Let me know if you do by sending me and email at hello@lisarcharles.com This video shares my reasons why I decided that this was the challenge for me.  I hope you're inspired!

The first night in Atlanta, when I realized that I was truly going be all alone, I called the airline to see if I could shorten my trip. It was that serious. The tears flowed as the reality sunk in that I would be away from my family for an entire week.  This was the first time in all of my married years that I would be on my own for such an extended period of time. I looked around the room and felt a coldness wash over me and immediately my head began to hurt.  No luck with the airlines so I decided to let it sink in and take on the week as best as I could.  I wanted this adventure. When I booked

I'm sitting on my bed staring at all these lists that I've made for myself. There's a list of things to do in Atlanta, in Orlando. A list of things to buy in both places. A list of people and places to see in Atlanta. A list for me, for my children, for hubby and now I'm writing a list just to organize all of those other lists. Can you tell I'm drowning in lists?  (Picture via Pinterest ) Last night I indulged in one of my favorite places to visit when in Atlanta. (Make a note to visit Jeju Sauna whenever you're in the Atlanta area and ne ed some rest and relaxation. It's one of the best bath houses I've been to.) I got to rest and clear my mind. I meditated, read,  ate, slept, spent hours between the wet sauna and the healing rooms. And got to share in this healing experience with my friend. He needed it and so did I. One of the things I promised myself on this trip was to embrace all of my experiences with joy and ease, and I'm happy to s
