LOVING LIFE 101: Learning how to give.
Fill your cup up until it overflows and give from the overflow.
Lisa Washington

We think it’s a good and spiritual thing to pour ourselves out to utter exhaustion. We are even taught this is sacrificial but is it?
I am learning that in order to truly give from a place of love, it also has to be for the highest good of all. I am included in that ALL and so are you.
When we fill up our cups until they overflow, that overflow pours out to everyone around us.
When we have rested everyone benefits from that rest? When we are eating properly, and exercising everyone benefits from the energy exercise, and nutrition provides.
The biggest and most important one is filling our cups up until they overflow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. When we are empty in these areas we are given fumes to ourselves and others and in turn, everything burns out. Our relationships with ourselves and everything and everyone around us suffer.
So fill up with taking care of ourselves from the inside out and letting that flow over to everyone around us.

● 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.
