March

 

Join me in saying "Welcome March".  If you've been following along with my blogs I'm sure you've noticed that I enjoy welcoming each month with a reflection on where I've been and looking ahead to where I'm going in the month ahead.  

February brought me many changes, including a new blog location, working toward revamping my process, and a connection with a local Women's Outreach Ministry.  Each of these came with their own unique challenges but most days those challenges were easily met, with only minor setbacks.  I will admit though when it came to the multiple technological challenges this month brought there were times I longed for someone else to just step up and do it for me, not having that option I pressed through and found my way.  So with peace I bid February 2022 and fond farewell.

Now with the new month starting I have put together plans for additional changes.  If you are following me on Facebook and especially if you are member of my private group Follow Your Dreams to the future you desire with Lisa Freeland look for me to start doing Facebook lives.  (Here's hoping they go well.)

With the start of March, I find myself looking more and more towards spring, one of my favorite seasons.  Here, in Missouri, we are experiencing spring like weather with temps in the 70's this week.  It is a wonderful change from all the snow and ice of February but I know winter is not over and will show itself once again.  

What does the new month bring for you?  Will you be moving forward and facing your future or are feeling stuck and unable to move ahead?  Can you see where you want to be?  If you are struggling with where you see yourself even in the next month, reach out to me and lets do a vision exploration.

10 Years

A lot can happen in a short period of time, but wow at what can transpire in a decade. So let me take you back for a moment to August 7, 2013.  On that day I had been in a place of depression and heartbreak over the ending of my marriage.  I had moved back to Missouri from Oklahoma and was simply trying to survive emotionally one moment at a time.  August 7th dawned very bright and sunny and my family (my parents, my brother, sister-in-law, and both my nieces) had chosen to make a point of spending that day with me.  You see that was the day my divorce was to be final.  I was going back to being Lisa Freeland.  I know longer even knew who Lisa Freeland was nor did I have any clue what my future held, because all my hopes and dreams had come to a crashing destructive end.  Little did I know that all that destruction was only the beginning to becoming the woman God had created me to be! Since that moment I have had some pretty major setbacks ...

Sticks and Stones

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Odds are you heard this and probably even said this as a child. It was our way of being tough and standing up for ourselves. However, the truth is words can be more damaging than sticks and stones. Words cut so deeply and the effects last far longer than physical evidence. Sadly, kind words spoken to or about us are easily brushed aside but the negative words, they cut deep, they last, and they rarely miss their mark. When those damaging words are said within a relationship that's very unhealthy. People consider that an abusive relationship only happens when someone becomes violent, but the truth is verbal, psychological, and emotional abuse are just as damaging. Using words to attack someone often makes them feel small and insignificant, causing them to become more and more withdrawn and isolated. They will start to internalize bad events and situations and actually start to believe they ...

Storms

Have you ever considered how the storms of our lives are often very similar to the storms of nature?  They come with winds and rain, sometimes feeling almost evil when they include driving rain, and leave behind damage and debris.   The past couple of weeks I have been going through a very strong personal storm.  There would be small windows of calm and then the storms would start again, and I was getting slammed in every direction.  I found myself fighting to breathe and struggling to stand in the wake of all the storms coming at me.  To say my determination and resolve wavered would be an understatement.  I felt as if I had nothing left to offer, reaching a very low place last Thursday.   Then Friday dawned NEW AND BRIGHT! Still I had a few minor storm come at me, but this time it was different because I remembered where my help comes from and who can calm not only the storms of nature, but my personal storms.   What a...
