5 I used to be a runner. I took great pride in uttering the words, I’m going for a run. Or, I ran 6 miles this morning. Alas, I enjoyed being able to say I did it more than actually doing it. Plus, running meant I could enjoy my favorite foods […] Stop Running…Face the Music & Drop the WeightJanuary 18, 2017 in Blog by Lisa E Williams
I had an early career as a forger. My forgetfulness made it “necessary” for me to sign my mother’s name. Or, maybe it was my mouth. Can’t remember if I started signing detentions or permission slips first. Nevertheless, when I felt the need, I gave myself permission. Somehow In later […] Please Sign HEREJanuary 14, 2017 in Blog tagged goals / mentors / reaching your goals / team building by Lisa E Williams
I just started binge watching Grey’s Anatomy. I’d watched 2 or 3 episodes early on, but wasn’t very interested in a new show at the time. Then last year I read The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes. Based on her own words, I wanted to know her by getting […] Caution…this vision is subject to change!January 7, 2017 in Blog tagged 2017 / blogger / See Jane Write / Shonda Rhimes / The Year of Yes / vision / vision plan by Lisa E Williams
1 There is a fine line between what we believe to be worth our time and what seems futile. Been there, done that. I figured since it didn’t work before, no sense in trying again. There is often a flurry of activity to prepare for a new year. Cleaning house, finishing […] I’m worth it…and so are you!December 27, 2016 in Blog tagged 2017 / blog / goal setting / goals / new year / resolution by Lisa E Williams
I think about exercise a lot. I plan to exercise often. I even resolve to eat healthier. However, I don’t habitually follow through on those things with any regularity, yet. And when I don’t, I often internally count those as failures. What keeps me from remaining focused on the “misses” […] Turn On the LightDecember 3, 2016 in Blog tagged depression / encouragement / habits / holidays / hope / recovering from depression / self-care by Lisa E Williams
2017 is just around the bend Are you one of those people who gets frustrated by how early the Christmas decorations appear in the store? That used to bother me until I shifted my thinking. Instead of the appearance of Santa trinkets being a signal that I needed to start […] Look both waysNovember 22, 2016 in Blog tagged 2017 / blog / goals / gratitude / vision / vision plan by Lisa E Williams
I used to dislike my name. It took years to get over having several people besides me answer to the call: “Lisa.” Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chic option of going by my middle name. To me, it’s hideous. I understand my mother’s reasoning, but it doesn’t redeem the name […] What Should I Call You?October 31, 2016 in Blog tagged be positive / blogger / change your name / Christian blog / Florida / identity / name meaning / power in words / the Sunshine State / writer by Lisa E Williams
8 Several of my friends forgot my birthday last week. And it wasn’t completely their fault. A couple others had no idea what to get me, or what I’d like to do. Wasn’t their fault either. Long ago, I adopted an unhealthy stance and many times people adapted to my bad […] 3 Ways to Become a WIDE ReceiverOctober 15, 2016 in Blog tagged becoming whole / blog / Christian blog / Donald Miller / intimacy / personal growth / reciprocation / relationships / Scary Close / vulnerability by Lisa E Williams
