Do You Know What Today Is?...

It's my ANNIVERSARY!!

My 6th year Blog Anniversary!! 

Here are a few reasons why I'm glad I started this blog...

• The people I've met

Their support. Their inspiration. Their motivation. Their courage. Their hopes and dreams. Their successes. Their wisdom. Their stories. Their honesty. Their presence. Their comments. Their Friendship.

• A place to get naked and vulnerable with you. 

Even though being naked and vulnerable doesn't always "feel" safe, it still brings a satisfying feeling knowing that when I'm naked and vulnerable it helps you to be that way too. My first thoughts about blogging were, who would want to do that? Who talks about their life openly and completely unashamed, naked, so the world can see? Those thoughts have been put to bed a long time ago and seeing what it feels like to be on the other side is like water to my thirst. There is wisdom in sharing and being open to the world, not only is it healing to me but for you as well.

• I can go back through my archives and read things I've written years ago and smile at my accomplishments, laugh at some of my embarrassing moments, and be encouraged by my inspirations. 

Building a blog is a lot like building your life. It takes time and effort to create what you want and desire. I've accomplished many things I wanted to accomplish through this blog and can sit back and smile at the feeling that brings. I've written some posts that I've wanted to take down completely because of the embarrassing feeling I get reading it but I decide not to. What I look at as embarrassing could be a blessing to someone else and I leave it at that. And I'm always inspired by my creation and appreciate myself even more. 

• Through the years I've created a space for lovers to be inspired and strengthen their love for one another by opening up and trying new things. 

I'm a Lover. I'm born this way and will be this way until the day I leave this world. I'm a Lover and will continue to help others bring out the Lover in them. The world needs more Lovers and someones gotta help bring them out and unleash that dragon, ha! I'm up for the challenge that's for sure. I love assisting couples create open and honest communication through unconditional love. 

• My blog encourages me to keep growing.

My blogging journey hasn't always been easy sailing for me. I've walked away from it many times and wanted to give up completely. But I can't. I cannot give up on you. So I push past those times of difficulty through re-grouping, re-organizing, and digging deeper into why I do what I do. Why I blog. 

• For My Children

My children honor my love for sharing, writing, and glowing in what brings me enjoyment. My oldest daughter has learned so much through reading my posts and will continue to learn, grow, glow and be inspired. She's thanked me at different times for writing what I did and how it's helped her to see a different perspective. There are times when I blog more than others and when those times are here my kids see me writing and will leave me be. That's their way of showing support.

• For My Husband

He observes me even more through my blog. He sees my growth. He experiences my pain to grow even more and supports me through it. He has helped me build this site to where it is today. He has dedicated many hours of learning HTML and different codes to make it better and sometimes pulling all niter's to see a project through. He was even a contributor at one point which I'm extremely grateful for. I love knowing he reads my work and will at times text me a high five for something I've written that moved him deeply. I'm blessed to have his support.

There is still more life in Lisa C Writes. As I move closer to my core, to revealing more of who I am, to embracing myself as I continue grow, I will share those moments, times, and journey with you. My continued hope is that you will be blessed, enriched, and inspired to grow as well. I may write things/post things that will challenge your beliefs and/or cause you to become uncomfortable - that's o.k, no one has ever gone wrong from questioning why they do what they do. Just know that it's all coming from me to you in love. I  also hope to strengthen and encourage you to blossom and grow into all that you aspire to be. Thank you for being with me through my online journey. 

Namaste'

Finding Your Release Button

Ciao Bella!

I'm on the edge ya'll and writing to tell. What's happening beautiful beings of light?? I'm amazed at the vast movement of things happening in and through my life at the start of this new year. It's been quit a pleasurable experience and one that I've been sharing through my writing. 

Just the other day I shared on a call to some beautiful lady Goddesses two of the ways I help to release and let go all that's inside of me to make space for more.  One of those ways is to write. I write! I write in several places, this place being one of them, my first blog of almost 6 years! My Android EVO phone being another. My two (at this moment) hand written journals, and several online outlets. Ahhh, it feels so good to release!! 

Writing is what I describe as my way of mentally releasing. (I'm currently working on my first book!!) It helps me to empty my mind from all the thoughts that pass through me on a daily basis, not only from within but also from without. Which leads me to share some valuable steps I've been taken to improve my mental and emotional health. First, I made the decision sometime last year to become more aware and mindful of who I allow into my life with all of their emotional energy in tow and to be very unapologetic about it. (A position  Mrs. Corretta Scott King prided herself in having). Also, I would become mindful of what I allow to penetrate my life from all aspects, i.e the things I listen to, the things I read, watch and so on. I've put it into action with diligence and have seen some startling benefits and have watched some things/people that I held very high fall off by the way-side and take their influences with them. In some cases my expectations were just too high and I tried to draw blood from a turnip (as the saying goes). Writing is a high form of expression and creativity for me and allows my imagination to run wild which is a beautiful thing for me.

Now on to the next and most exciting way I release in all ways, spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally, and that is through Orgasms. For a very long time, earlier on in our marriage, my wise husband would say to me "An Orgasm A Day Keeps The Anger Away"! When I shared this on the call all of us burst out with laughter that was felt in our entire bodies. For one, because we all knew deep down that it was true and two, it brought up personal memories of our own Orgasms, some memories as fresh as that day, yum!! I didn't take his advice about it so easily because that raging woman inside of me who was expressing anger just did not want to stop being angry or let go to have some 'ole Orgasm. I also blew it off as "things men would do" but Oh my, oh my was I sadly mistaken. Now, I live by that motto and with all my pleasure enjoy that remedy. As Women we carry so much, not necessarily by way of stressing or worrying, just by way of being a Woman. We have many, many different roles to play and fulfill, and many pulling at us to do so. Our containers can become so full and in desperate need of release that we just can't take it anymore and EXPLODE!!! What I'm saying is love yourself enough not to allow you to get to that point and take time to release. Find out what ways you like to release and add an Orgasm to that. Some of us like to buy things, some of us like to bake, read, go to the movies, smoke even. Do that because these are all helpful ways of release for us physically but our other bodies need releasing too. 

Go into a room and close the door physically and mentally, become quite in a safe place and and love on your body. Feel free to express love to yourself in this way and reap the benefits of what releasing through Orgasm can bring. Follow this link and read more on my views and that of another beautiful light on our perspective on Orgasms. 

Also, if you need any help in this area, because I understand it can be difficult and some what scary to do send me an email and let's chat about it. 

Luv Kisses

One regret, dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.

Discover your beauty and my madness

My letters to you

are greater and more important than both of us.

They are the only documents 

where people will discover 

your beauty 

and my madness.

Creating Lasting Love Tip #6

R.E.A.D, READ! Read together...and I have just the books to get you started.

Two books I would highly recommend, She Comes First and He Comes Next. Play a game and see who can out-do the other and accomplish what the book says. I guarantee this will add heat to your bedroom where cold drafts exists. Exists in places that once you're inside of them you feel like all of a sudden wrapping up, putting on layers to protect yourself from the cold. Those areas that you want to avoid at all cost because that's where your discomfort lies. Add heat and warmth to those areas by testing your limit to see how far you can go in pleasing your partner intimately. Open up to understanding more about each other and share in that new understanding. Together you will enjoy thrills, excitement, anticipation that will be the spark you've been longing for. Alone you will learn secrets and techniques that will blow your partners mind completely and satisfyingly away. Now open up, get busy and see who can come first.
