Wife, Mom, Corporate Exec and

CFO (Chief Fun Officer) of My

Crazy Happy Life

But mostly just someone who just knows it's time to Let Lisa Out.

​

I don't remember the exact day, but I remember how I felt when he said it. I was going through a particularly difficult time and he just looked at me and said three simple words: let Lisa out. 

 

The shift happened. Someone knew that I could only be truly happy when I was truly myself.

 

That was more than 10 years ago and that "someone" was my wonderful husband. Those three words have always stuck with me. Whenever I'm feeling sad, whenever I feel like I just can't cope anymore with balancing life, family, work and more, those three words have centered me, saved me.  They have been a reminder to me that I wasn't being myself.

 

When I'm feeling lost, I remember to be my true self no matter what. When I'm worried about what others will think of me instead of focusing on my spirit, those words help me. Those words remind me I'm trying to be what I think others want me to be, not who I know I need to be.

 

Welcome to now.  I'm not a writer and not really comfortable writing about thoughts and feelings to strangers. But there has been something nagging at me for the past few years telling me it's time to really let Lisa out. It's that little tap on your shoulder, that little voice whispering in your ear that keeps telling you there's more than this.

 

For me, that "more" started with this website and blog.  I have no idea where it's going to go. I haven't posted much. But it's something I want to keep going. I have to be who I am without any concerns or thoughts about what people think of me.  And yes, this all scares the $&%^ out of me... which tells me I have to continue to do it.

 

The true measure of its success is if it helps me become the me I really want to be. But I'm also hoping that it helps even just one person to take a chance.  Because I know I'm not alone. 

 

Writing will help me let "Lisa" out and hopefully helping make the world a little happier along the way, one little smile at a time.

 

There's no destination... it's just an adventure.

 

With love and laughs,

Lisa
