Living Out Loud

For the last three years I have been discovering who I am and who I want to be in the world. Through all of my ups and downs, I realized I want to be naturally me. No apologies, no shrinking, just me. True to myself and all that I stand for. I have always hoped to inspire others to live their most authentic life, and now it's time for me to get back into blogging and sharing my journey.

Welcome to my personal page. This is where I write my feelings, share my desires and make sense of the upsets. I've always been the type of person that lives my life out loud. No secrets. Nothing hidden. Just me. Real, genuine, authentic me. I've learned that this is not only the easiest way to be, but also the most rewarding. It can be hard, I am vulnerable, but I'm willing. I've made many mistakes along the way, and I hope I've learned from them. I'm a work in progress ... aren't we all? My wish is to spark others to reach inside and find their real authentic self.

My journey, like most, is not always pretty, but it is always rewarding. My earlier pieces were raw. For the last two and a half years I've been working life out. It wasn't a time to share, it was a time to live. But now, I'm back at the keyboard ready to let it all flow. Lisa 2.2 - better, stronger, more insightful. So, read on and let me know what you think.
