• How does change feel?

  Posted at 2:05 am by Lisa K, on September 9, 2018

  

  Hi friends,

  It has been a few months since I have shared a post with you, wow! It’s not that I haven’t been writing, moreover that I have been busy with some changes!

  The funny thing about change, it’s always there, it is really the one thing we can truly count on in life. And yet…it can cause a hurricane of emotion, dislike and even cause problems if we try to avoid it.  I truly find that writing helps me to unbox and understand my thoughts and feelings and today I would like to share a poem with you about change.  Moreover, after reading it, I would be very interested to know your thoughts on change as well.

  How does change feel?

  One day it may be sunny,

  On another it may rain,

  Like the unpredictably of weather,

  Things in life will always change.

  Why are we continually so resistant,

  To something we are constantly exposed,

  Why is it so difficult sometimes,

  To finally learn to just let go.

  Patterns that make us happy,

  Ones that make us sad,

  It seems we desire familiarity,

  We want something  that we’ve had.

  Grasping, holding, desperately coddling,

  Wishing that all will be the same,

  But how can we grow in life?

  If we want everything to be so tame.

  Like a child learning to walk,

  Branching out can feel so alien,

  But if you don’t believe and take that step,

  The past’s grip is as strong as titanium.

  Feel, think, believe and trust,

  It’s all within your strength of will,

  Your desires are within your reach,

  Let your inner voice guide your skill.

  Suddenly you behold the truth,

  Your heart races with the realization,

  That to enjoy the beauty of this life,

  You must be open to this revelation.

• Cosmic Love

  Posted at 3:10 am by Lisa K, on March 18, 2018

  

  Cosmic Love

  Love is warm, soft and sweetly divine.
  Love is vast, blissful and overwhelming at times.
  Love is comforting, powerful and without condition.
  It is something we search for as part of life’s mission.
  Love is supposed to be thoughtful, Love is supposed to be kind,  but how can it be those things when sometimes it’s blind?

  Is Love our own? Or is it only shared?
  How can we have it without another who cares?
  Is self Love the same as what we desire from others?
  Or do we require the heart of another?
  How can Love be free from pain?
  Without judgement or sadness, can it be without bane?

  Love is vulnerable, it’s soft to the core, how can we enjoy it when it’s attached to much more?

  Does Love mean sacrifice? Must we be vulnerable to obtain? These things are not easy and can cause some to abstain.

  Is it the human condition that holds us back? From the feeling of Pure Love, our senses may lack.
  Freedom in Love is such a beautiful thing, the thought alone makes my little heart sing.
  Maybe that’s part of our work in this form,
  To unify our souls and let Cosmic Love be reborn.

• The Obligatory New Year’s Post: 2018

  Posted at 2:31 am by Lisa K, on January 1, 2018

  

  It seems that this year, I am so much more aware of the happenings over the last year than in those past. I started this blog this year and in preparing my writings for it, I suppose it has helped me to really put conscious memory into action as I ponder my thoughts and feelings. I have observed a great deal about my little life and noticed some wonderful things and also some places that could use some really overdue attention. I really love writing this blog, by the way;) There is far too much truth in the fact that we mostly, blindly, fail to acknowledge places in our lives that make us uncomfortable. For me, in the past it was a fear of failing to be my best all the time. I have managed to work quite a bit there and feel much better about this work in progress. This year I experienced some dark times in the beginning of it. Out of my control, but they quelled my growing ability to shine forth more confidently. Many steps back, I notice that I must draw attention once again to confidence in the radiance of my being.
  In 2018, I will take charge of old patterns rather than let them play out. I will speak from within and hold no expectation of how it will be interpreted by those around me. If I am true, I can’t be mistaken for anything other than the true intention that I really am. If negativity happens, it is not me but a reflection of others. I will be TRUE.  I also noticed that I live in a very regimented pattern in my life. Im an ashtangi and it is not difficult to see why I love the practice of Ashtanga yoga so much. It is also very disciplined. However, it impedes my social interactions with people. If time spent doesn’t fit into my comfortable schedule, I can get, well, agitated. I have been aware of this for some time, and have made some progress but it needs more.

  I also can’t cook. I don’t like holding meals because food doesn’t inspire me. I am also vegetarian, which doesn’t harmonize with people around me. Food is more of a subsistence of life for me. It seems to create issues for social gatherings because I don’t relate well to others in this way. I am good at doing activities with people or having a coffee and a chat. Evening visits with a glass of wine aren’t too shabby either, lol, right?? But in all seriousness, I want to connect again without fear of judgement. If I don’t fear it, it can’t burden me. I will practice my meditations, affirmations and general thoughts to help create new mental patterns. If you think it enough, it will become real.  I know my intentions are to relate to others, to feel them.

  The new year isn’t necessarily about changing things or becoming a new person. It is about reflecting on what works and what doesn’t. Realizing what could do with some improvement and what is working better than ever. I like the reset feeling. It reminds me of morning time. I love the feeling of waking up and being out before others. Everything is fresh, untouched by the essence of daytime and I get to see it. That is what the new year is akin to. A time to refresh, reflect and be a better version of me.

  I hope you enjoy this time of year and start off in 2018 with your best foot forward. Be fierce, be powerful, be You.

  Happy New Year my loves!! Best for the coming year to you!!

  Much Love,

  Lisa Michelle xo

• Our Guiding Light

  Posted at 7:11 pm by Lisa K, on October 1, 2017

  

  I write poetry when I feel inspired by an internal emotional experience which needs to be expressed in some way.  The feelings we have as human beings can be so overwelming and powerful, both the joyful and the sorrowful.  Writing is meant to be interpreted by our own experiences and life.  I would love to know how this poem speaks to you💖

  Our Guiding Light

  Sometimes I feel lost,
  And a little bit scared,
  Like I am invisible,
  And no one could care.

  I’m closed and down,
  With a lump in my throat,
  I see no escape,
  Like this path is my fate.

  Suddenly I look up,
  The sky is so magnificent and blue,
  Something inside me unfolds,
  It has a radiant golden hue.

  My breath begins to settle,
  The fear quickly subsides,
  Like I’ve been touched,
  by an angel inside.

  I feel it around me,
  It has such strength and grace,
  It helps me to realize,
  I am worth more than I could embrace.

  When sadness feels raw,
  There is a place within me,
  That lets the emotions run clear,
  And allows me to be free.

  It is soft and yet powerful,
  The essence of our soul,
  Flowing around all of us,
  Gently guiding us to become whole.

• Time For School, My Baby Girl

  Posted at 12:34 am by Lisa K, on September 4, 2017

  

  It seems slightly comical to me that even though my daughter is only 4 years old and starting JK this week, I feel like it is such a big step in growing up.  As the summer started, I thought, no big deal, she’s ready, she’s got this.  As we made our way into August, my heart really changed tune!  So in expressing my thoughts on the moment she leaves me for many years of school, I would like to share a poem.  Maybe some moms out there can relate to my feeling too💖

  Time For School, My Baby Girl

  It seems like just yesterday,
  I looked down at my little girl,
  Just a baby sleeping peacefully,
  Without a care in the world.

  It’s only been four years,
  But so much has changed,
  I almost can’t remember,
  How my life’s been rearranged.

  So bright and animated,
  With eyes blue like the sky,
  A smile that captures my heart,
  Her little giggle is a piece of art.

  With a memory like an elephant,
  She really keeps me on my toes,
  An old soul is inside of her,
  There is so much she already knows.

  A gift of light to my heart,
  She’s like a thunderbolt in the sky,
  Our souls have always been together,
  And I have never wondered why.

  My baby girl is going to school,
  The first big separation,
  I’ve shed tears of sadness,
  But for her it’s another equation.

  She’s bright and ready to shine,
  So inquisitive and smart,
  I can’t wait to see her blossom,
  And life without me is about to start!

  Best of luck to all the little ones who start school this year.  Hugs to all the mommies who will miss them when they go! xx xx
