New Moon Reflections
If we all could take just three to five minutes at the beginning of our days to recharge ourselves, do you think the world would be a better place?
Do you think that if everybody sat in front of a beautiful setting, looking at the sunrise, in front of a lit candle, gazing at some crystals, looking at Family Photos, praying, whatever, do you think that people might be less reactive? Do you think that we might be less judgmental of others? When we start our day from the place of recharging ourselves then our cup is not running on depleted and empty.
Do you remember the old Biblical adage ‘the cup overfloweth’? Well this is the case with our energy. There’s nobody else is going to refill or recharge our energy. We must do it ourselves! The good news is, we are not alone. We have help! Whether you believe it or not, we have the ability to immediately check in. This is tapping into something greater than ourselves. Our angels, archangels, Master Teachers, guides, spirit animals, and our ultimate Highest Source.
When we take a few moments to tap in, we are able to come from a place not of ourselves,, but from a place where we act as a channel for this beautiful white light energy to come through us. We begin to shine bright, and the diamond inside of us becomes more and more purified. The outer layers of the diamond, the coal, the dirt, the grime, the layers, all of that begins to shed off and people begin to see this Light shining through! We don’t ever take credit for this Light because it is not of ourselves, however we are pleased and honored to carry it forward. When we commune with others who also share this Light our light not only becomes duplicated but it becomes exponential! And this is how we change the world! One line at a time, one candle lighting another candle. When my friend Missy died we all had a candlelight vigil. We lit candles from each other’s candles and together we stood brightly shining our light. That light destroys the darkness. The light of just one candle! That candle is you!
Go, Shine Your Light! Be you!
Peace, Love, Light~

A True Story About a Client Diagnosed with Dis-ease and the Curious Facts about Juice Plus
For the privacy of my client the name has been changed and the conversation has been paraphrased.
However, I also want you to know the facts. Juice Plus is in fact not a supplement at all, it has a Nutrition label, not a supplement label. I’m sure his doctor had no idea about this. Another important thing for John is that Juice Plus is the most widely researched nutrition product in the world! There are over 35 Clinical published peer reviewed studies on the results. Most of us need more fruits and veggies, and it really concerns me that at a time in his life when phytonutrients are at the UTMOST of importance, healing from dis-ease, that he decided to quit eating the very thing that will help heal his body.
ANOTHER CLIENT:
Please stop my yoga membership, my doctor told me to stop. I have some chronic inflammation in the lungs.
LISA:
Breathwork and yoga are important for the healing of the lungs. Have you questioned your doctor about the reasons why your health professional may have told you to stop doing yoga?
CLIENT:
No
LISA:
Please take control of your health and ask questions. Yoga is shown to increase lung capacity and many other positive benefits. I would be curious to find out what the reason a doctor would not want this for his patient.
DEAR READERS:
What are your thoughts?
Do you believe in nutrition?
Do you have to believe in nutrition for it to work?
I encourage you, too, to view this video about the facts about whole food and the Juice Plus company.
Do you want to help? Are you ready to take action in your own life? Are you ready to be an advocate with this movement of Health and Wellness? NOW is the time!
Full Blue Flower Moon, May 2016!
The full moon is upon us! For me this is always time for manifesting the seeds that I have planted. Some years ago, some newly planted. I can feel the energy raise and my prana responds to this pull. This surge of energy keeps me ultra focused.
To be focused we first must have a target. If you are unsure where you are going how will you know when you get there? Or how can you enjoy the journey?
Recently, I have acquired some new lifecoaching clients. I love working one on one with people, and using the countless tools that I have been exposed to. I am delighted to help others find their focus, refine their life, create balance. If this sounds like something you would like in your life, then I would love to visit.
I am offering my time and talent to help others, and together we are raising the vibration of this planet!
Full Blue Moon Show!
On Saturday, May 21st, at 7:00-7:30 PM CDT , The Old Farmer’s Almanac and Slooh are teaming up to bring you a live look at the seasonal Blue Moon through Slooh’s Canary Islands Observatory.
During the live broadcast, Slooh Host, Paul Cox, and Slooh Astronomer, and Astronomy Editor forThe Old Farmer’s Almanac, Bob Berman, will be joined by Janice Stillman, Editor of The Old Farmer’s Almanac. They’ll discuss what exactly a Blue Moon is, how this particular Full Moon got the name “Full Flower Moon,” and even how the placement of the Moon was once a key piece of evidence in a murder trial.
On the same night, The Full Moon hovers just above Mars. Mars is at “opposition” with the Moon and hasn’t been this bright or close to us for more than a decade!
Connect to the miraculous ebb and flow of nature as caused by celestial bodies; moments of wonder we all take for granted but are no less delighted to be exposed to again and again.

We Must Choose Joy! Raise the Vibration, starting with ME!
I spent about 4 days really lost in my thoughts. It took an intentional shift to pull me out. I have decided to help found a charity in her name. I am working with some others in the fitness industry and her family. I would like to call it Missy Bevers Foundation for Children with Special Needs.
In the meanwhile, as all this develops I am moving forward and choose joy! I have celebrated one year of my father’s passing on May 1, Beltane. That ol Irish chap decided to cross on one of the oldest Celtic holidays and it took me almost a year to realize this serendipitous timing.
I also decided that since my nutrition business is going so well that it was time to go green and get a new car! I got a brand spanking new Toyota Prius 4 with the moon roof and alloy wheels. This baby is amazing, going over 800 miles on a $15 tank of gas! It can even parallel park for you!! no hands, for real. The inside looks like a cockpit! (I also said hello to a new cell carrier and am saving a ton off at & t and we all have received new phones… it’s the little things…)
In Honor of Missy Bevers, My Friend and an Amazing Woman
Monday was one of the most traumatic days of my life. My friend was murdered. I just taught my am yoga class and my phone kept buzzing. When I checked it my friend Betsy asked if I saw the news, of course I did not because I don’t watch the news. She said a bootcamp instructor was killed at a church in Midlothian and we both knew Missy taught an early bootcamp at a church. She had met Missy through me at our the slumber party last year, for my daughter’s birthday. The girls are just a few days apart. We held it literally the day after my dad died, 5/2/15 because it was already planned and in place. We ‘broke in’ my brand new Yoga 4 Love Cabin with twenty four 10 to 13 year olds!
I immediately said I need to call Missy’s hubby and check on her and hung up. I called Brandon and he answered. I asked if Missy was ok and he just paused and said, “Well, Lisa, no, no she isn’t.” I was like what do you mean? I thought he would say that she was in the hospital. I asked him and he said, “Lisa, she’s gone.” I lost it and I said how sorry I was. He was still driving back from Florida, he was going to go fishing and just got a car and took off back home with a friend renting a car and driving. He said he was heading into Shreveport then home. I tried to call my hubby and he did not answer.
I called Connie, we all three, Missy, me and Connie were pregnant together with her sister in law Kristi and a few other friends. We did so many girls activities together. Field trips, school events, homeroom parties, soccer, basketball and so many slumber parties. She and I just cried together. I was standing on the deck on my cabin overlooking the river which had just flooded, crying, spitting, snot-ing, wailing and she said she was coming to get me. She already knew and had not sent her daughter to school. She came to pick me up because the middle girl in the Bevers family and our girls are best friends and she wanted me to bring over my daughter. Unfortunately, before we could get to the school my daughter found out and called me sobbing.
We got the three girls in the car and talked to the Middle School policeman for a moment. Meanwhile, some more details of the murder came about and the girls were in the backseat huddled and crying with Connie. I spend the next 3 days with the family with my daughter.
We had an amazing candlelight community vigil on Tuesday night at the local elementary.
Today, I feel like there is hope. I know that this is never going to be fully understood. But my role is to bring light and hope and help leave a legacy in her name.
I spoke to Brandon and I will meet with Connie after the funeral. We are starting a charity in her name for children with special needs. This was something that was very close to Missy’s heart and the family does not want money or food. This is a perfect fit.
I will keep you all updated and we will also have something up on facebook soon. Meanwhile, if you want to donate in lieu of flowers for the funeral Missy you can bring or mail a check for the Bevers girls to Citizen’s National Bank of Waxahachie.
The funeral is at Cowboy Church Waxahachie, Saturday April 23 at 11:00 am.

Fasting for Lent, a Spiritual Journey with my son Palm Sunday in the Desert
Hi everyone! Happy New Moon! Can you feel the JOY???
So much has been happening in my life spiritually! I was on a 46 Day raw food fast til sundown for Lent then went on a trip to the desert in Arizona snd flew my son up after to go to view a college. We were in themiddle of the desert and we stopped at an overlook. I t was beautiful. We looked across the highway and saw a sign “Holy Ground 3.2 mi.” So our spiritual adventure begins! We were so blessed and had an amazing sacred experience on the Apache land on Spring Eqinox and Palm Sunday!
The next week I was in meditaition and reading Ram Dass. The journey I recieved was totally amazing and enlightening! This last Friday I was back I got to sit in meditation with Max the Crystal Skull.

Back to the basics and we are having so much fun doing it! I feel grateful every day for the serendipitous moments, the intertwined journey, my passion for living out loud and the people in my life.
