morning thoughts.
the more silence i give myself, the more vast it all becomes. i see in a way i haven’t before, and i am willing now to wait for the right moment.
there is a spaciousness to my days, even when the calendar is cluttered. i honestly never believed this was possible.
there is refinement in the clearing. a muting of the color pallet to suit my vision. attention to what pleases and provokes. i am not looking to fill the space. i have learned to leave room for the light, and i trust my heart is all the ambition i need.
so often the language heard in the online creative world, that of visionaries and change-makers and risk-takers, has a tight fierceness to it. i have no desire to kick-ass or to be a bad-ass (or any kind of ass), to be radical, edgy, or even fearless. i aim to be true, transparent, real and human. i ask for ease, grace, and the abundance to serve well with whatever i have to offer. i want to connect from the place of softness, wonder, and oneness.
softness, wonder, and oneness. i do believe i am on to something.
ultimately, of course, there is no other, and you are always meeting yourself.

Lisa, you always have a way of reminding
us that it’s far more important to savor
every morsel of the simple pleasures in
life, be it the flavor of our cup of coffee
in the morning, or the sweet laughter
that springs forth from of our children.
Thank you.

i’ve been thinking a lot about our conversations this week and wanted you to know how much your thoughts and words have impacted me. thank you for this dear heart, you have given me the ability to see that i should take no prisoners and make no excuses for this life. xoxo
lisa replied:
our time together was wonderful. no excuses for beauty and pleaure and grace and ease and abundance, my dear. that, i believe, is why we are here. and it is from the owning of these wonders, that we give back and serve well. xx

I always enjoy witnessing how well you know yourself. Often your words and life are like the giant permission slip I didn’t even know I required. So much love and grace are you.
lisa replied:
and you, my love. xx

Gorgeous imagery in all realms..thank you for sharing as you do. A few months ago, I was experimenting with “pushing past my edges”; it didn’t resonate well. My essence is a gentle stretch, a leisurely stroll, a loving gesture full of gratitude; it is a joy to honor that as I explore. Thank you for affirming that with your reflection.
lisa replied:
a gentle stretch, i love that.

Simply beautiful.

So gald that you have no desire to be radical, you are beautiful as you are!
Lovely photos and enchanting words!

I feel the softness
the wonder
the oneness
there needs to be the balance of all energies
but stillness
stillness is a great companion to have
i have discovered this in the last year, as well
a gift
a gift of expansion
a gift of light
a gift of sound
a gift of element
all that is real lives in stillness
I love you thoughts here…
they speak to me
remind me
connect me
thank you for sharing them
love and light
lisa replied:
thank you. beautiful.

Hi Lisa,
I love the images and thoughts you convey on your blog. The light, the beauty and the serenity bring me back to sink in to it all. I feel uplifted by reading and looking at the images as well. Thank you. And, I love the necklace you are wearing with the crystals – gorgeous raw crystals. I wear one for healing and believe in it’s power.
Have a lovely day,
Eileen
lisa replied:
