Set the Table with Love

Mindful Living Moment

—

,

It is so easy to judge people and ourselves. I remember a time when I was very illed and just gotten out of the hospital. All I wanted was a day at the spa. One morning when I had a bit of strength.

I brushed my teeth, kind of brushed my hair, took a shower and put on a t-shirt and joggers. It was so nice to get out of the house and outside that hospital room. I had a wonderful time, until I overheard the young ladies giggling about me and saying some really mean things. It hurt me, but then it helped me. I thought to myself, with tears in my eyes. I have done that to people, not realizing what their story could have been. I said to myself, Every has a back story. I better stop judging things I know nothing about. Those young ladies taught me compassion that day.

● 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.
