Lisa C Writes

This myth has been the bane of my existence for many years. It has held me hostage and crying for mercy many sleepless nights. It has sent me running away in fear to belting out in intoxicating angry lashes at myself, and others. It has caused me to see red and attack others for no reason other than to cause pain. I screamed at the top of my lungs and I cried like a little baby. I was in turmoil over this and didn't know how to stop it.  My dilemma? The title says it all! I wanted to be a "good" girl so bad. I wanted to make others proud of me and give them what I thought they wanted from me. I wanted to be what others wanted me to be because I wanted to be considered that "good" girl.  Trying to please others and do things the "right" way drove me crazy. I was never going to be good enough, and they were never going to be satisfied. What I didn't realize was that it was never about me. I couldn't measure up or be good enough to ...

Hi Friends!! Before I share this Fabulous Find with you I want to take a moment to say thank you! Thank you to all of my readers, new and good 'ole faithfuls, who continue to support Lisa C Writes .

If you are on any of those networks and we are not already connected, let's connect and stay in touch.  Also, David and I have started a Twitter account together called,   @The26thAffair , which is a peek inside the story of our journey together. Check us out! Today's Fabulous Find comes from a post that was shared on Facebook a few weeks ago. After following the link to the website, and checking it out in it's entirety, I've decided that it is a must have for us. It's called The Tantra Chair, what you see in the picture below. Now, I can describe w...

I attract a lot of knuckle heads! There I said it. Let me take a deep breath before I continue. Okay, I may need to OM before I move on. I'm ready. Lately, I feel like I've been attracting people who are a bit challenging to deal with. So i ask myself why? Why am I attracting such less than desirable people in my life? What am I missing? I feel like I'm missing something because I can't seem to shake them. Shake them as in, go away...PUHLEASE! Really that's the polite way of putting it. Y'all know what I really want to say, because we all been there. Dealing with people and we can't figure out why the heck they are in our lives! I'm usually an easy going, easy to get along with kinda chic. I have my days, I'm not even going to lie. I'm not always that peachy, sweet, and rosy but for the most part I feel that I am. So why is it that I keep attracting these personalities into my precious space. After a little digging, soul s...

Today, I'm thinking about going to the library or book store, one of their favorite places to go.  We'll sit around like at a camp fire, sharing the books we come across and the many stories they hold. It's raining outside today, one of my favorite moments in a day, so we'll sit by a window, preferably. We'll see other homeschooling families as this often happens now, more so than before. There were times when we were the only family in the library with school aged children. The looks, stares, and whispers became common to us after awhile. Now there are hundreds. I LOVE it. David took these pictures when we were aboard the Dolphin Cruise Ship, Destin FL.  We were allowed to feed the birds from the back of the ship as we were sailing away from the dock. It was a beautiful site to see. It reminded me of our children in how they are eager, hungry they are for nourishment - whether that be food, learning, love. They swoop down to rece...

It's been a week since David and I have been back from our vacation in Sandestin, Fl and I'm still finding sand in my house. Oh what a feeling!  I've been overjoyed and under because of the experience. At times I want to run back and jump into the ocean, swim with the fish, and dolphins like we did. I want to paddle my feet like a fish or dogie paddle like a dog, jump over each incoming wave like a hungry child at play. I want to lay out on the beach and turn colors from a light to golden hue, simply gorgeous on my skin. I love tans, do you? Loves, it's been awhile since I've written here and it's good to be back again. For us bloggers, blogging can be like a roller coaster on so many levels and as I get older I'm beginning to dislike them as much as I once did. Roller coasters take you up, take you down, spin you upside down and around. Ok, that's enough, I'm getting sick just even thinking about it. But, isn't that what life does at s...
