Being Prepared
September 15th, 2010 | Published in Lifestyle Commentary | 5 Comments
**If I have learned one thing over the years and especially since kids and after Robert dying, it is to be prepared for whatever you are doing, and wherever you are going. You must think, where am I going, who am i going to be with and for how long and what am i doing, is it work or pleasure, what am I doing after the meeting, what is the rest of the day like, am I going out straight from work or going home first.
When I leave my house in the morning, before I leave work and especially when I travel I prepare for my trip or venture or outing. What you need to know is that in that preparation you will sharpen your mind and soul, and get to start learning about yourself and what you like and who you are or who you want to be! When you have what you need most of the time because you plotted your day it elevates and lot of stress and aggravation
***Now that I am alone, I am more worried about what I do. There is no one there to help me or take care of me if something happens. Luckily when Robert died I was there and woke up and handled what I needed to handle as hard as it was.
I had to become so much more responsible for my life and actions since it is only me. I can’t say I love it. I miss having a partnership, I miss being loved and adored

i have admired your store over the years, from the east coast, outside of boston and loved you on Launch My Line. Your smile and laugh exuded strength. tonight, while surfing the web after my 4 year old twins woke up crying after falling out of bed, sigh, I found you again. Life is all about the journey and with it comes great pain… and great rewards. I am sorry for your loss. You blog posting was so real and I thank you. As grown-ups in this day in age we can get so wrapped up in our professional world that we sometimes forget to take a moment and re-set. For me, when I take that moment, I think of the two little creations that are my responsibility, who make me realize I am so very loved. Best to you.

I admire your strength and grace in all you have endured. I am so sorry for your loss. Isn’t it amazing how we have to be so much more aware when we have little ones?, I am a new mom and I can’t imagine the pain you have had to deal with…your closing remarks made me so sad, I know how you feel when you say you miss being loved and desired. There is no better feeling for a woman than to be desired.

Hello Lisa I just was reading through your blogs! I am very sorry for your lost! I will agree with you, when you said you miss being loved and desired. I was married for 26 years, high school sweethearts, however he just want a change one day with a 17 year old and walked off. Two children, a good job, a beautiful home and lots of love and animals as well and he walked away. I know how it feels to be lost as well as not desired. However we are women we will stand strong…… Take care and bless you and your family.
