You are still here.

I know that life sometimes can be extremely challenging. We can face some very unexpected life experiences, that leaves us feeling like we just stepped outside our bodies and we have no idea what field, street or corner we’re standing in or on. I want to encourage you with this message, that you are still here, even if it feels like we are not, YOU ARE STILL HERE.

The flowers may smell differently today, the sounds maybe unfamiliar, the colors of the room may have changed and things don’t taste the same, but we are still here. Grief, pain and suffering can make things look and feel different, but that’s your soul expanding, if you allow it.

It’s a new awakening inside of us, that gives more richness, compassion and depth to the journey, so we can help others along the way, like our children. They will experience all of life just as we have, how we process life becomes their teachers.

We are still here to move through our grief, our difficult times, those unexpected situations that come up and we don’t know what to do with them. We don’t have to always figure it out. I want you to know that you’re still here to feel, to love, to get angry and upset, to pray, to reach out, to keep quiet, to get back up again and again. The beautiful thing is you do not have to do it alone, keep your soul and heart open the love that surrounds you

So when you feel lost, that’s okay, get quiet, pray, breath and know YOU ARE STILL HERE, my beautiful one.

You are still here

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.
