I love & appreciate my #LOA dog

2015-06-23T11:30:00.001-07:00

I have an exceptional dog. His name is Cletus. He is one of my best friends. We have fun walking together, talking together and of course, snuggling. However, unlike other dogs, he is free to roam throughout the universe. Cletus was created in the vortex and is around whenever I desire him to be. Whenever I have a contrast or even conflict in my life, I find Cletus is with me. Here are some examples of how we work together to stay in alignment as well as how Cletus or your own dog can assist you! Decisions are to be made. Today. Oh what do I do? Play ball of course. Tossing a ball back and forth is great way to have fun and become aware of what is the best choice to make. Focusing too much on what hasn't failed to show? Playing Frisbee is the way to letting go. So spin, release, relax and have a great time. Everything is well taken care of in your "vibrational" escrow. This you already know. Wobbling? Dizzy? My___________ is_____________, So and So is ____________, She said________He said____________ I want to be___________ , There is this ___________ that I just am unable to ________, blah,blah blah. The Merry Go Round in your head is on overdrive. Give everything to Cletus. Why? Because like any dog he loves to chase his tail. Oh no! I fell off my high "vibrational" disc and I feel___________. Help! I wish to get back up there but nothing is working. Time to hand over the keys to Cletus and just go to sleep. I assure you that when you wake up you will find......

Cletus and Clarity. They are a team. Peace, Love and Light Always,Lissa Share

Loving Life

So I have forgotten how to do some of the basics (like hyperlinks) on my blog. My signature is stuck in the middle of my posts. Yet it is no biggie. Things always manage to work themselves out. It is more important to be relaxed, joyous, happy and just plain loving life every day. It is my wish that you are feeling the same way. !NAMASTE! Share

2015-05-14T17:31:00.001-07:00

So I am back to work and it has been a very enlightening experience. Clarity is a wonderful. There are so many stories to tell and I can't wait to share them with you. Soon..very soon! Peace, ♥ and Light Always, Lissa Share

Hello!

Hello Friends! It's been awhile. Yet that's the way it had to be. To find me. Worth it? Definitely! What is to come? I guess we shall see! NAMASTE Share

2012-09-13T21:34:00.001-07:00

It's been forever and a day since I last made a post. I never have been a daily blogger and tend to write when the mood strikes me. Well, there has been nothing but lightning striking around my neck of the woods and I got a JOB so I pretty much haven't felt like doing anything but catching up on my sleep. I work nights, 6 weeks on, then 6 weeks off. During my 6 weeks off I have found myself trying to get back into a normal daily routine, which is tough. However, I have missed my bloggy, froggy friends as well as my fave tweeps, not to mention SWEEPS..lol. Anyhooo, I'm going to try to write more often and visit your blogs. I also will be adding/updating some links to some of my favorite sites. I look forward to chatting wirh you:) Share

Silk Fruit & Protein Review & Giveaway

2012-03-18T21:02:00.003-07:00

Silk Fruit & Protein, a new juice blend product, is now part of the Silk family.

It is available in three delicious flavors:

Mango-Peach

Mixed-Berry

Strawberry-Banana

Silk Fruit & Protein is a an excellent source of Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Calcium.

It is also a good source of protein, 5 grams of protein per serving (1cup)

However what appealed to my family the most was the great TASTE!

There was no unanimous decision when it came to our favorite flavor.

We enjoyed all three, with breakfast, lunch or as a snack all by itself.

Our only regret is that our blender was broken.

We would have loved to make some smoothies!

I miss you daddy

2012-02-11T21:39:00.000-08:00

Daddy was a big fan of Dolly Parton's music. However I think this version is fitting due to sad circumstances.

Four years ago today my dad left this world. He didn't win a grammy, a golden globe ,was never featured in People magazine and never trended on twitter. People will not ask do you remember where you were the day Allen died? Which in a way is sad.
He was the greatest man I have ever known.
I miss him each and every day.

So Daddy, please give lil' sis a hug and kiss for me.
Maybe come visit me in my dreams?

Until we meet again.

I will always love you.
Daddy's girls are daddy's girls forever.

Shopping with Wayfair for my Football Fan Family

2012-01-06T22:13:00.000-08:00

Wayfair

I am proud to say that we are a family united. Together we stand. With one exception.: Football.
When it comes to college football this FANMAT would describe our household perfectly.
We are divided 3-3.

When it comes to the NFL, all six of our family members have our own favorite team. It is not easy to find everything for everyone. In fact, I used to hate shopping for NFL items. Not anymore. Wayfair makes it easy and at reasonable prices. No longer do I have to run around all over town trying to find something a store ultimately does not carry or wants to charge me an arm and a leg for. Giving me more time to get home and watch the game. Thanks to Wayfair ( AKA Santa Claus) my son received

this

NFL Jets Throw Blanket

and this

NFL New York Jets Face Off-Hat

He is absolutely thrilled with his new hat and throw. The hat fits hims perfectly.

The throw is 60x 90, extremely plush and comfortable.
I am pretty sure he would take them both to school with him if it was allowed.
(He did take them both on a 3 day trip over winter break)
He does fall sleep with them. As you can see in this photo:

And "DD" does need his sleep. Because football can be brutal. Especially when your team doesn't make it to the playoffs. In fact out of the 6 teams we root for in this family,
only 1 team has a chance of going all the way to the Superbowl this year.
That would be MY team:)
If you are looking for some great NFL or sports items, or pretty much anything for your household ,
I highly suggest you shop at Wayfair.
I am sure that you can find something for the numerous fans in your life.
Shopping at Wayfair. is always a WIN!

Disclosure:
I was contacted by Wayfair &
given the opportunity to review the items of my choice.
All opinions are expressed in this review are my own.

Happy New Year!

2012-01-03T07:45:00.000-08:00

2011 was an incredibly stressful time for me and many others.

2012 is finally HERE.

!Yippee!

I'm ready for some positive energy.

Happy New Year!

On Loss of a Sibling

2011-12-11T16:24:00.000-08:00

The mirror shows no reflection

Yet there is a "shadow mourner"

that no one cares to see

let alone me.

Siblings rule when they are alive.

yet when one dies,

the world only sees

the parents cry.

The tears in sissy's eyes

must be dried.

Someone has to serve the chicken

the macaroni salad and the pie.

Not to say of cleaning up the mess

after everyone says their goodbyes.

Yet the beast

of grief

still lies within.

Crying, dying,

caged, with rage

just waiting,

hoping,

to be let out

to be held and heard.

2011-12-04T16:59:00.000-08:00

I just love shopping at Wayfair. Right now I am searching for strollers for toddlers . My grandson is 1 year old now and I think it is time for a stroller upgrade.

Wayfair has an excellent selection of

strollers at reasonable prices,

including the Britax B-Agile Stroller, the Bugaboo 2011 Bee Plus-Stroller and the Schwinn Turismo Swivel Wheel Jogger Double Stroller.

I really like the:

Combi-Strolee

It is lightweight, easy to maneuver and perfect for those long vacation days of traveling.

I also love the color which matches my grandson's personality! So bright!

If you are you in the market for a stroller or pretty much anything for your home. I highly recommend that you shop at Wayfair. They started their business in 2002 with only 2 employees(formerly as CSN Stores)and now in 2011 have over 6.2 million customers worldwide. Wayfair is a company that wants the best for it's customers and that means only the best for me and you! So start shopping with them today!

Pfister Elevate™ EXT Faucet Review ( & yes there will be Thanksgiving)

2011-11-20T21:19:00.000-08:00

It's official. We will be having Thanksgiving. All in part to Pfister Faucets. Thanks to Pfister I was given the opportunity to review the faucet of my choice. Although there were many great faucets to choose from, I ultimately decided on the Elevate EXT kitchen faucet . The Elevate EXT gives me the freedom to adjust the height of my kitchen faucet. It swivels 360 degrees and even has a pull out sprayer! I no longer will have to struggle getting my roasting pan clean before and after "Turkey" day. Not to say of of all the big pots and pans I have to deal with cleaning on a regular basis. I do have a large family that likes to eat. I chose the Elevate EXT in Stainless Steel. However, you might like it in Midnight Chrome, Antique Copper or maybe some other finish. They have 21 selections to choose from. Installation is easy.

A manual is enclosed with your faucet

and you also can just go to the Pfister website for a quick "how to" video.

I would highly recommend the Elevate EXT to anyone who needs a faucet that is functional, versatile is backed by a lifetime warranty and ........makes your kitchen look AWESOME!

I can't wait to show it off to my family and friends when they come over for Thanksgiving.

Which is a great thing. They never have been much impressed with my cooking.

I met The real Santa Claus this week

2011-10-13T06:38:00.000-07:00

Yes. Santa is real.

So is Mrs. Claus.

The are a lovely couple.

My hubby and I met them at Staples by the copy machines.

(I guess the elves are busy making toys, no time for paperwork??)

I have been so down lately and quite frankly this chance meeting lifted my spirits.

Evidently, I'm allowed to have my bad days. So I told Santa my wishes for Christmas.

Actually we all chatted for quite a bit. You will not be surprised to find out that
food was part of our conversation.
Santa likes BBQ, Biscuits and Gravy as well as Sweet Tea.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to say goodbye.
I got a hug from both Mr and Mrs. Claus as well as this card:

Only 72 days until Christmas. Are you on the NICE List?

Lifetime’s Upcoming movie FIVE premieres Monday, October 10th

2011-10-04T08:09:00.000-07:00

Lifetime FIVE website

Lifetime’s Upcoming movie: FIVE premieres Monday, October 10th

FIVE is an anthology of five short films exploring the impact of breast cancer on people’s lives directed by Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, Patty Jenkins and Penelope Spheeris.

The all-star ensemble cast includes Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson (“Pieces of April”), Rosario Dawson (“Sin City”), Lyndsy Fonseca (“How I Met Your Mother”), Ginnifer Goodwin (“Big Love”), Josh Holloway (“Lost”), Taylor Kinney (“The Vampire Diaries”), Jenifer Lewis (“The Princess and the Frog”), Jennifer Morrison (“House M.D.”), Kathy Najimy (“WALL-E”), Golden Globe Award winner Bob Newhart (“Horrible Bosses”), Annie Potts (“Law & Order: SVU”), Tracee Ellis Ross (“Girlfriends”), Emmy and Golden Globe winner Tony Shalhoub (“Monk”), and Emmy nominees Jeffrey Tambor (“Arrested Development”) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (“Big Love”)

Through an interconnected story arc that uses humor and drama to focus on the effect breast cancer and its different stages of diagnosis have on relationships and the way women perceive themselves while searching for strength, comfort, medical breakthroughs and, ultimately, a cure. Five highlights the shared experience each short film’s title character – “Charlotte” (Goodwin), “Cheyanne” (Fonseca), “Lili” (Dawson), “Mia” (Clarkson) and “Pearl” (Tripplehorn) – endures from the moment of diagnosis. Each touching storyline is tied together by chronologically featuring “Pearl,” beginning as a confused child bravely facing the loss of her mother (Goodwin) to breast cancer to her adult life as a mother and oncologist treating other patients (Fonseca, Dawson and Clarkson) before she herself is diagnosed with the same disease that took her mother.

FIVE director's Video Link

5 STORIES (SHORT FILMS) DIRECTED BY 5 CELEBRITY DIRECTORS:

Jennifer Aniston·       Directed by Jennifer Aniston, written by Wendy West and told in a series of humorous and dramatic flashbacks, Mia is a survivor’s tale that highlights all of the highs and lows of Mia’s (Patricia Clarkson) two-year journey from diagnosis with breast cancer.

Alicia Keys·      Lili, directed by Alicia Keys and written by Jill Gordon, follows Lili, a fiercely independent, career-minded woman (Rosario Dawson), who recruits her sister (Tracee Ellis Ross) to help tell their hard-nosed mother (Jenifer Lewis) that she has breast cancer.

Demi Moore·       Directed by Demi Moore and written by Stephen Godchaux, “Five’s” opening film, Charlotte, takes place the night in July 1969 when man first walks on the moon, and when a young Pearl (Ava Acres) is more concerned about why her family is not letting her see her mother, Charlotte (Ginnifer Goodwin), who lies in her bedroom dying from breast cancer.

Patty Jenkins ·      In Pearl, directed by Patty Jenkins and written by Deirdre O’Connor, Pearl (Jeanne Tripplehorn), the successful oncologist we have followed from childhood, suddenly finds herself in the patient’s seat when she is diagnosed with breast cancer.

Penelope Spheeris·      In Cheyanne, directed by Penelope Spheeris and written by Howard Morris, sexy young stripper Cheyanne (Lyndsy Fonseca) and her handsome newlywed husband Tommy (Taylor Kinney) struggle to redefine their passionate relationship, as well as who they are as individuals, when Cheyenne is shocked with a breast cancer diagnosis. Looking at a severe prognosis, Cheyanne’s aggressive treatment ultimately results in the removal of both of her breasts, which have defined her life physically, financially and emotionally.

The Movie FIVE premiers on the Lifetime Network on Monday October 10th at 9pm EST.

Last night I found myself in the library, holding Saturn. Soon everyone in the place was tossing it around like that balloon game where the goal is to constantly keep it in the air without it ever touching the ground. There were many people in the room. Some from past that I had not seen in many years, some from present day. I left the library and ventured on my way. In one dream I can go to many places. When I woke up this morning I realized I had been on quite a journey. Also I had learned quite a bit. After all I had been in the library, a great place to acquire knowledge don't you think? I believe I need to sit down, take a breath and realize that the universe is not necessarily throwing a bunch of balls at me. I am not a juggler, just one of many trying to keep things afloat.

Happy Birthday Daddy, I Miss You!

2011-09-20T07:28:00.000-07:00

Dear Daddy,

Yesterday, I walked out the store and glanced up at the sky.There was the biggest, most beautiful, double rainbow I have ever seen in my entire life. The first words out of my mouth were:

"It is as if as God has come to greet us"

It is my wish that you will be one of the first to greet me when my journey on this earth ends, For now, I hope that you are celebrating your birthday In Heaven. I am so grateful
for the day that you were born.

How blessed I am to be your daughter. Have a slice of coconut cake, and take a drive on your Harley (Surely you must have one by now..lol) Also don 't forget to give "Baby Brat"
(Lil' Sissy) a twirl or two on the dance floor.
As much as you want to, please DO NOT cut the grass, chain saw trees, or fix something.
It is your Birthday.

Relax and enjoy it.

I am sure that you have earned more than a day, a week, a year, etc... off.

I love and miss you more than words can say.

Daddy's girls are Daddy's girls FOREVER!

XOXOXO

Love,

"Big Sissy"
