This post will make much more sense to you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Finding your release button is very important and for some women it's not &amp;nbsp;easy to do. A woman's overall health and overall sexual health with herself and her partner(s) depends on how well she knows herself intimately. Women, we need to know what pleasures us, what turns us on, what opens our flood gates and lets us flow smoothly, easily, and with mounds of pleasure. We need this in order to continue pleasuring ourselves throughout our lives. The other day I was reading about an 83 year old woman who still, to this day, pleasures herself and reaches stages of orgasmic bliss often. She talked about how this vital part of her life has played a major role in her sexual relationship(s) - it is like food to her soul. I can completely relate and understand and I often wonder how many women are missing out on this part of their lives. Sometimes all it takes is having a safe place to talk about this and express feelings that come up around this topic. Yes, it can be touchy and scary and uncomfortable but it's vital, and it's a part of who we are as women.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lisacwrites.com/2012/01/finding-your-release-button.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My last post on Finding Your Release Button&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;was met with a lot of questions. The main question I was asked was, how do I find my ("that") release button &amp;nbsp;- I'm too uncomfortable to explore my body in that way.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tu-KAHY_pC8/TzRxX2PaSlI/AAAAAAAAGhU/KkEiuTTCuNw/s1600/openlove_mini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tu-KAHY_pC8/TzRxX2PaSlI/AAAAAAAAGhU/KkEiuTTCuNw/s320/openlove_mini.jpg" width="212" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Every woman's body is different - some like it this way, some like it that way. (Some like it twirled and swirled, some like it fast and furious). The only way you will ever find out which way(s) you like it is by exploring it. You are the only person who can truly know what you like and what you want in bed with another and by yourself. My question to you is, do you know your body and pleasure points the way you would like to?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1wuYCowFHa0/TzRxtbzUMBI/AAAAAAAAGhc/7vIq9BPOaCQ/s1600/hergraciousness_mini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1wuYCowFHa0/TzRxtbzUMBI/AAAAAAAAGhc/7vIq9BPOaCQ/s320/hergraciousness_mini.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Would you want to laugh and giggle 'til your belly hurts? Do you want to smile from the inside out? Would you like to radiate light so bright it is felt by others even when they are not seeing you, but thinking about you? Doesn't that sound delicious, enticing, watering? Allow me to tickle your fancy a little. But first, take a deep breath. Good. Now, take a plunge with me and get to know you! Your body is waiting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here's what you do...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UB25WP6qicg/TzRyEapDumI/AAAAAAAAGhk/C5kmnCP0pgk/s1600/sensual_mini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UB25WP6qicg/TzRyEapDumI/AAAAAAAAGhk/C5kmnCP0pgk/s320/sensual_mini.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Find some time to be alone, light some candles on the floor (taking safety percautions of course) and with a mirror in hand or set right in front of you, get naked. Take a seat, and open wide, (not your mouth lol) your legs. Yes, your legs. Take a deep breath, relax. Inhale again, and exhale. Relax, girl, you're doing it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Now, what this exercise will help you to do is first become acquainted with what's starring back at you. Yes, become familiar with the loveliness between your thighs and appreciate her in all her beauty. Touch, feel, gaze upon in complete admiration. If it becomes difficult, just know that this is part of the process, in time it will become easier.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many women don't even know what she looks like and more importantly what makes her feel good. Your first step to becoming a women who excretes pleasure and knows how to own her own pleasure is by becoming familiar with all of you, all of you inside and out. Open up to yourself and do this as often as you can and you'll see yourself becoming the woman you desire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;One is not born a woman, one becomes a woman&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;~ Simone de Beauvoir&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img alt="post signature" class="centered" src="http://lisacwrites.googlepages.com/Signature_a.png" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22702961-6465218185802096321?l=www.lisacwrites.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

My first thoughts about blogging were, who would want to do that? Who talks about their life openly and completely unashamed, naked, so the world can see? Those thoughts have been put to bed a long time ago and seeing what it feels like to be on the other side is like water to my thirst. There is wisdom in sharing and being open to the world, not only is it healing to me but for you as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;I can go back through my archives and read things I've written years ago and smile at my accomplishments, laugh at some of my embarrassing moments, and be encouraged by my inspirations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Building a blog is a lot like building your life. It takes time and effort to create what you want and desire. I've accomplished many things I wanted to accomplish through this blog and can sit back and smile at the feeling that brings. I've written some posts that I've wanted to take down completely because of the embarrassing feeling I get reading it but I decide not to. What I look at as embarrassing could be a blessing to someone else and I leave it at that. And I'm always inspired by my creation and appreciate myself even more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Through the years I've created a space for lovers to be inspired and strengthen their love for one another by opening up and trying new things.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I'm a Lover. I'm born this way and will be this way until the day I leave this world. I'm a Lover and will continue to help others bring out the Lover in them. The world needs more Lovers and someones gotta help bring them out and unleash that dragon, ha! I'm up for the challenge that's for sure. I love assisting couples create open and honest communication through unconditional love.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;My blog encourages me to keep growing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My blogging journey hasn't always been easy sailing for me. I've walked away from it many times and wanted to give up completely. But I can't. I cannot give up on you. So I push past those times of difficulty through re-grouping, re-organizing, and digging deeper into why I do what I do. Why I blog.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;For My Children&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My children honor my love for sharing, writing, and glowing in what brings me enjoyment. My oldest daughter has learned so much through reading my posts and will continue to learn, grow, glow and be inspired. She's thanked me at different times for writing what I did and how it's helped her to see a different perspective. There are times when I blog more than others and when those times are here my kids see me writing and will leave me be. That's their way of showing support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;For My Husband&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;He observes me even more through my blog. He sees my growth. He experiences my pain to grow even more and supports me through it. He has helped me build this site to where it is today. He has dedicated many hours of learning HTML and different codes to make it better and sometimes pulling all niter's to see a project through. He was even a contributor at one point which I'm extremely grateful for. I love knowing he reads my work and will at times text me a high five for something I've written that moved him deeply. I'm blessed to have his support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;There is still more life in Lisa C Writes. As I move closer to my core, to revealing more of who I am, to embracing myself as I continue grow, I will share those moments, times, and journey with you. My continued hope is that you will be blessed, enriched, and inspired to grow as well. I may write things/post things that will challenge your beliefs and/or cause you to become uncomfortable - that's o.k, no one has ever gone wrong from questioning why they do what they do. Just know that it's all coming from me to you in love. I &amp;nbsp;also hope to strengthen and encourage you to blossom and grow into all that you aspire to be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Thank you for being with me through my online journey.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Namaste'&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="post signature" class="centered" src="http://lisacwrites.googlepages.com/Signature_a.png" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22702961-3776028059876805202?l=www.lisacwrites.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

What's happening beautiful beings of light?? I'm amazed at the vast movement of things happening in and through my life at the start of this new year. It's been quit a pleasurable experience and one that I've been sharing through my writing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Just the other day I shared on a call to some beautiful lady Goddesses two of the ways I help to release and let go all that's inside of me to make space for more. &amp;nbsp;One of those ways is to write. I write! I write in several places, this place being one of them, my first blog of almost 6 years! My Android EVO phone being another. My two (at this moment) hand written journals, and several online outlets. Ahhh, it feels so good to release!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Writing is what I describe as my way of mentally releasing. (I'm currently working on my first book!!) It helps me to empty my mind from all the thoughts that pass through me on a daily basis, not only from within but also from without. Which leads me to share some valuable steps I've been taken to improve my mental and emotional health. First, I made the decision sometime last year to become more aware and mindful of who I allow into my life with all of their emotional energy in tow and to be very unapologetic about it. (A position &amp;nbsp;Mrs. Corretta Scott King prided herself in having). Also, I would become mindful of what I allow to penetrate my life from all aspects, i.e the things I listen to, the things I read, watch and so on. I've put it into action with diligence and have seen some startling benefits and have watched some things/people that I held very high fall off by the way-side and take their influences with them. In some cases my expectations were just too high and I tried to draw blood from a turnip (as the saying goes). Writing is a high form of expression and creativity for me and allows my imagination to run wild which is a beautiful thing for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Now on to the next and most exciting way I release in all ways, spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally, and that is through Orgasms. For a very long time, earlier on in our marriage, my wise husband would say to me "An Orgasm A Day Keeps The Anger Away"! When I shared this on the call all of us burst out with laughter that was felt in our entire bodies. For one, because we all knew deep down that it was true and two, it brought up personal memories of our own Orgasms, some memories as fresh as that day, yum!! I didn't take his advice about it so easily because that raging woman inside of me who was expressing anger just did not want to stop being angry or let go to have some 'ole Orgasm. I also blew it off as "things men would do" but Oh my, oh my was I sadly mistaken. Now, I live by that motto and with all my pleasure enjoy that remedy. As Women we carry so much, not necessarily by way of stressing or worrying, just by way of being a Woman. We have many, many different roles to play and fulfill, and many pulling at us to do so. Our containers can become so full and in desperate need of release that we just can't take it anymore and EXPLODE!!! What I'm saying is love yourself enough not to allow you to get to that point and take time to release. Find out what ways you like to release and add an Orgasm to that. Some of us like to buy things, some of us like to bake, read, go to the movies, smoke even. Do that because these are all helpful ways of release for us physically but our other bodies need releasing too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Go into a room and close the door physically and mentally, become quite in a safe place and and love on your body. Feel free to express love to yourself in this way and reap the benefits of what releasing through Orgasm can bring. Follow this link and read more on my views and that of another beautiful light on our perspective on &lt;a href="http://www.lisacwrites.com/2009/04/open-to-orgasm.html"&gt;Orgasms&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Also, if you need any help in this area, because I understand it can be difficult and some what scary to do send me an email and let's chat about it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="post signature" class="centered" src="http://lisacwrites.googlepages.com/Signature_a.png" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22702961-8186653802449554433?l=www.lisacwrites.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Read together...and I have just the books to get you started.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Two books I would highly recommend, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/She-Comes-First-Thinking-Pleasuring/dp/0060538252"&gt;She Comes First&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/He-Comes-Next-Thinking-Pleasuring/dp/0060784563"&gt;He Comes Next&lt;/a&gt;. Play a game and see who can out-do the other and accomplish what the book says. I guarantee this will add heat to your bedroom where cold drafts exists. Exists in places that once you're inside of them you feel like all of a sudden wrapping up, putting on layers to protect yourself from the cold. Those areas that you want to avoid at all cost because that's where your discomfort lies. Add heat and warmth to those areas by testing your limit to see how far you can go in pleasing your partner intimately. Open up to understanding more about each other and share in that new understanding. Together you will enjoy thrills, excitement, anticipation that will be the spark you've been longing for. Alone you will learn secrets and techniques that will blow your partners mind completely and satisfyingly away. Now open up, get busy and see who can come first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lisacwrites.com/search/label/creating%20lasting%20love"&gt;Creating Lasting Love&lt;/a&gt; Tip #6 Read Together&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img alt="post signature" src="http://lisacwrites.googlepages.com/Signature_kisses.png" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22702961-6985149794475352811?l=www.lisacwrites.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Laundry mountain doesn't seem all that bad these days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The sugar rush we all got from eating holiday goodies Daddy got from customers who love him so. Dark and white covered strawberries. Chocolate covered pretzels. Shortbread chocolate icing covered cookies. Chocolate cookies. Oatmeal raisin cookies. mmm...mmm, sinful I tell ya!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Our Saturday night Flag party. Hubby and I represented with our Red White &amp;amp; Black (Trinidad) flag and danced until our feet (well, mine at least) hurt. We are seriously in the process of designing comfortable dancing shoes with heels. If you have suggestions please holla at ya girl. You have to be able to dance for a good four hours straight with the last thing being feet on your mind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I just saw that Jennifer Hudson commercial where she is singing side by side with herself. One is of her with her weight on and the new her without it. She has come a long way and looks great! &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ddTNsv6R4&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;I Believe In You and Me&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Watching The Secret Lives of Bees with my two oldest on Saturday afternoon.

Reading books was something I had always loved to do and did it often. Books became a way for me to expand my imagination and develop my sense of creativity. As a child a book was sometimes all I had to the exposure of life in someone else's shoes. I read fiction and non, auto-biography's and memoir, history, poetry, religion, romance, classics, philosophy, to name a few. I wrote short stories, poetry, and romance. I remember building relationships with kids in highschool just because they liked to read as well. I was shy in school and one of my favorite places to go was the school library.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I set my 2011 goal to originally read 5 then upped it to 7 and hit that goal earlier this month! So I'm raising the bar since I'll be starting in January not sometime in May like I did this year. My goal for 2012 will be 10, not nearly as much as some of my book club members who's goals are in the 20's, 30's, and 50's. 10 is my number and good enough for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RF93yfJG8-4/TvYLsULsx4I/AAAAAAAAGUk/0Udyx4QC4s8/s1600/beautifulbookmarks_mini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RF93yfJG8-4/TvYLsULsx4I/AAAAAAAAGUk/0Udyx4QC4s8/s320/beautifulbookmarks_mini.jpg" width="252" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Right now on this beautiful, quiet Saturday morning, I'm sitting in bed creating my list of books to read in 2012. I love online places like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1986238-lisa" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Goodreads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shelfari.com/lisacwrites" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Shelfari&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt; that help me to keep my reading lists in order. Here is what I have so far, in no particular order and subject to be booted off the list if another book out ranks it:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/someone-knows-my-name-lawrence-hill/1008470599?ean=9780393333091&amp;amp;itm=1&amp;amp;usri=someone+knows+my+name+a+novel"&gt;Someone Knows My Name&lt;/a&gt; (Recommended by someone in my HS group)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/little-bee-chris-cleave/1100260550"&gt;Little Bee&lt;/a&gt; (Also recommended by someone in my HS group)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/help-kathryn-stockett/1100036619"&gt;The Help&lt;/a&gt; (Been hearing about it everywhere)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/time-travelers-wife-audrey-niffenegger/1100179751?ean=9780156029438&amp;amp;itm=3&amp;amp;usri=the+time+traveler%27s+wife"&gt;Time Travelers Wife&lt;/a&gt; (Because I enjoyed the movie so much).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/she-comes-first-ian-kerner/1102670936?ean=9780060538262&amp;amp;itm=1&amp;amp;usri=she+comes+first"&gt;She Comes First: The Thinking Mans Guide To Pleasuring A Women&lt;/a&gt; (Recommended by Amazon)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/alchemist-paulo-coelho/1100248293"&gt;The Alchemist&lt;/a&gt; (Recommended by Will Smith)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sexy-part-of-the-bible-kola-boof/1101063566"&gt;The Sexy Part of the Bible&lt;/a&gt; (Recommended by someone in my FB (facebook) book group)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dance-of-the-dissident-daughter-sue-monk-kidd/1000691784?ean=9780061144905&amp;amp;itm=1&amp;amp;usri=the+dance+of+the+dissident+daughter"&gt;The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Heard about it on a book review site.

If yes, good for you. Hopefully you'll use these last few days to take it easy with smooth sailing on your side. You get extra points for being an early bird. If not, well, what are you waiting for?? Procrastination is a bitch, ain't it? LOL. All you can do now is hope for the best and that everything will turn out ok. Hopefully you'll decide to do things differently next year and have that shopping done. I know how unsettling it can be when you have to rush things through simply because you put off some very important things sometime back and those things have caught with you now. When this happens to me the whole time I'm rushing to put things together I'm usually not the nicest person to deal with. I'm also not the nicest person to myself. This is obviously not one of my preferable ways to deal with these situations, however it's one that comes easily for me, and asking why, I've learned, is futile. Making better choices to deal with unpleasant situations adds much more value to our lives and how we get to enjoy that life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;#betterchoices&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img alt="post signature" src="http://lisacwrites.googlepages.com/Signature_holla.png" style="text-align: justify;" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22702961-5227320489618672863?l=www.lisacwrites.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

My oldest son got to hang with me all by himself today and as usual, he enjoys that. I enjoy having the opportunity to spend individual time with my children as this is a rare occurrence having five of them to split my time up with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I was headed to the cell phone repair store because my phone wasn't holding a charge anymore. No matter what charger I tried it would not charge. I spent way too many days rigging charges and avoiding going because being without my phone is, well, like the end of the world. Drastic? Yeah. Dramafied? Yeah that too but I need my phone. I finally gave in and they told me it would take ONE to TWO hours, perfect! I could live with that. I left my phone with them around noon and returned around 4:15 and they were closed!!! Really? This was Saturday and guess what? They were closed all day Sunday!!! Talk about heated! I was done. I was so prepared to write a nice Yelp review on this store and let them have it because they didn't call me when they were done.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;This I learned was to be a blessing in disguise.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I got to spend this entire weekend unplugged from all things online. At the same time my laptop was acting up and Hubby had not hooked up our office as yet so I couldn't use my computer either. I managed. It's one thing to decide to unplug it's another to have no choice. I did get to do other things that needed my undivided attention and that made all the difference in the world. Turns out it's not the end of the world that I didn't have my phone. Yes, there were tons of messages on my phone, tons of text messages...69 to be exact. And, lets not forget about my email that's now over 1000 that I usually manage on my phone as soon as they come in. Granted that number was growing out of control before this happened and of course it just got worse. Major email deletion haul coming soon as well as taking a good look at the many different alerts I have coming to my phone and deciding what to and what not to keep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;On to my blessing &amp;nbsp;and someone else making a difference in my life...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;While I was out I found a new thrift store while looking for a new beauty supply store. I lucked up and found this gem and was completely taken back by all they sell. I called Hubby and he met me up there right away and he found a gorgeous coat for our daughter. While I was standing in line a lady by the name of Davetta looked at me and said, "that's a beautiful coat are you going to buy it?" I said "yes", and she asked me, "if she could buy it for me?" "Buy it for me?" "Yes, I want to buy it for you and I want you to pick out anything else you want." Really?? With my mouth on the floor I mustered up the words, "ok...thank you but why?" She said she couldn't find anything for herself and wanted to bless someone. Wow!!!! Not only was I shocked by this experience while it was happening to me but just the night before I was watching t.v. and saw a commercial on 11 alive news where they were doing this very same thing for others. The commercial showed them in a store asking a customer how she planned on paying for her purchase. She planned on paying by credit and they told her they were going to buy everything in her cart for her. She was thrilled and so was I! Davetta says that she does this occasionally and picks random people to be a blessing to. We exchanged numbers because this is the kind of person I want in my life. One who is open to being a blessing in the lives of others just because.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I was grateful for this experience and after this happened to me I feel like it's my turn to do the same for someone else. It's sort of like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward"&gt;paying it forward&lt;/a&gt;. I'm blessed therefore I will be a blessing and it doesn't have to happen in the order just the fact that it happens is all that matters.

Sure, I have a little bruise here and there and yes, my body is aching…all over but I’m glad that part is over. Looking forward to making my first spa appointment very, very soon. My nails are in need of a mani as well. These things are to be expected but what was not to be expected is this beautiful weather Georgia has been having lately and how it has helped in our December move. So thankful for that! I’m also thankful for the help that I had through this move from a few of my lady friends, you know you who are. Even though your help has not been physical yet (*wink *wink), your emotional support has gotten me through. There is something special about being able to pick up the phone or email your girl and give her an earful about what’s going on with YOU and how she says just the words you needed to hear. Relationships like these take time to develop and it’s not always easy but it’s so worth the sweat! I love you Ladies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;My Husband is the MAN!!! On his few days off he worked, and worked to get us situated and make us as comfortable as he could in our new home. Many nights he slept for just a few hours before having to work a full day and when he got home he got straight to work again. Today was the first time him and I got to go to lunch together since last week and that’s way too long for us. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Let’s toast!! Thanks to everyone who has wished us well and all the support we’ve gotten and will continue to get, you guys are amazing!!! *Cheers!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Hugs n Kisses ~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="post signature" class="centered" src="http://lisacwrites.googlepages.com/Signature_a.png" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22702961-6556285160333254627?l=www.lisacwrites.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

We would have the space we desired to have, we would have the privacy D and I desired to have, and we would all fall completely in love with it. I'm so happy to share &amp;nbsp;with you guys that our search is finally over and we begin our moving process today!! Whoot!!! Whoot!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Our kids are so excited and we are too! We took them to see it last night and they didn't want to leave, as we expected. But they are troopers and know that packing is in order first, then we move. I don't know about you but moving into a new is like having a baby. Yes, it may sound crazy but that's how it feels to me...#don'tjudgeme! It's brand new, exciting, and feels sooooo good!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-i2xgl1_8bLo/TuJlEU0t8wI/AAAAAAAAGF8/MF6sGogDW20/s1600/moving+innovativelyorganized_mini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="258" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-i2xgl1_8bLo/TuJlEU0t8wI/AAAAAAAAGF8/MF6sGogDW20/s320/moving+innovativelyorganized_mini.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;We are moving over the course of this weekend and into the beginning of next week so I'm going to be extremely busy with packing, organizing, etc. The good thing about it is we don't have to rush, we can take our time and do this stress-free. Unfortunately, I don't have many posts scheduled (oops) so I'll be posting when I can. Thanks to everyone who has been on this journey with us and have kept us in your loving thoughts, my family is grateful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Oh, and I'm already planning our housewarming party!! I'm looking forward to celebrating our new home with our beautiful family and friends, can't wait.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Where should I register for my housewarming?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Need suggestions!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flisacwrites.com&amp;amp;media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lisacwrites.com%2F2011%2F12%2Ffabulous-finds-friday-11.html"&gt;Pin It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;script src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="post signature" src="http://lisacwrites.googlepages.com/Signature_holla.png" style="text-align: justify;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22702961-6489540395292051771?l=www.lisacwrites.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
