Set the Table with Love

Mindful Living Moment: Healing

—

,

Healing has so many layers. We all heal in different ways. I recall a place in my heart that needed healing. I was stuck, because I was waiting on the person to do right by me. I was waiting on some type of remorse, but it never came, even when I confronted them, it still never came. The thing is, my equation for healing was all off, it went like this,

Someone hurt me + I confront them = you having remorse and apologize and make things right again. Done, makes sense right? No… what if they never apologize, what if there is never any remorse, so I stay in my hurt?

Absolutely not, there has to be a healthier equation. Here’s what works for me:

Someone hurts me + me confronting the situation, if needed + me dealing with my pain with, love, God and not fear = a healing process.

Now this doesn’t mean we don’t work through differences, set up boundaries, if necessary, get help from our support group, we just don’t leave our healing to another person. No one is responsible for my healing. They may play a part, but the person that gives the surgeon the scalpel is not the one that’s operating on the heart. That is always between God and I.

● About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am learning every day how to love up on this beautiful gift of living, cherishing each moment as it comes. Especially because at 38 I was dying, and now I am 55 years old, I have gained a deeper appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. I’m married to my wonderful husband of 30 years, who not only supports me through thick and thin but has also selflessly served as my kidney donor, a true testament to his love and commitment. Together, we have raised two incredible kids, aged 38 and 25, and I delight in watching them thrive. Our family has expanded beautifully with two grandkids who fill our lives with joy, a lovely daughter-in-law who has seamlessly joined our family, and a grand fur baby who adds warmth to our home. Here you will find life, food, and how I set the table with love for myself, my friends, and my family, creating cherished memories around meals that go beyond nourishment. I hope it inspires you to love up on your life a bit more and encourage you to surround your table with love, laughter, and the people you hold dear. We get one go at this precious journey, so let’s make it something deliciously beautiful, savoring each bite along the way. Thanks for stopping by; your presence adds to the warmth of this shared experience.
