Set the Table with Love

Be A Good Mama To Yourself

—

It is in our nature to mother and nurture others, but do we do that for ourselves?
We can look at situations and know this is not good for someone and we go to the rescue, doing whatever os needed.
We can talk with a friend and lift her up, pray with her, go to bat for her, cheer her on, but we barely, if ever do those things for ourselves.
We will stop the ones we love dead in their tracks, when they are speaking bad about themselves, but we say the most cruelest things to our own souls, out loud and in silence.
We would never think to abandon our kids and not be there for them when they need us the most, but how many times have we abandon our own dreams, needs and hearts?
I have learned to be a better mother to myself. We can only pour into others what has been pour into us.
Nite. 💕

● 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.
