I believe that delight is our true nature, compassion heals, and being in community with like-hearted people nourishes the soul. You step into and embody your true power when you turn inward and listen to your heart. More about Lisa →

It’s Tuesday. Go out and BE THE CHANGE - in your own life and our world.
.
There is a deep freedom and sense of empowerment that come from deciding not to wait for anyone to do the changing - in your marriage/partnership, work life, family, and community.

The older I get, the more I see that harshness doe

The older I get, the more I see that harshness doesn’t do anything except create more harshness, more disconnect, and more that eventually will need to be healed.
.
I’m realizing the soul’s way is never harsh. The soul’s whispers might become shouts, but they aren’t harsh. They are loving. And anything then that is harsh isn’t of the soul.

Do you remember when you wanted what you currently

Do you remember when you wanted what you currently have?
.
After living in cities for many years, I told my husband, “I want to see cows everyday day and I want overlook something expansive in nature.” My soul needed such expansiveness. And my nervous system needed the gentle regulation that comes from such expansiveness.
.
And now we have that (plus a neighborhood! I’m a people person and so I need neighbors, too!). On our way out of the neighborhood one way, we see cows. Every day. And from our kitchen, we see the mountains. Every day.
.
Sometimes it is a good idea to remember that there was a time when our souls longed for the loveliness we have in our life so that we are reminded of how the divine wants to satisfy our deepest longings. We are held. The universe isn’t against us. It’s for us.
.

Your Heart Will Be Satisfied

I see your suffering.
I will not let that ache within you
remain forever tender and raw.
I will not let your cry go unheard.

I will satisfy your deepest longings.
I will soothe your anxiety.

I will not let you go cold and hungry.
I will not leave you to go about life alone.
I will find you wherever you are,
wrap a warm blanket around you,
make you tea,
and feed you soup and bread.

I will sit beside you until you gain your strength.
You will not be alone.
You will not walk through life wilted and hurting.

I will bring you into my arms and hold you.
I will call on the angels to guide you.
I will lend you my strength and hope.

The earth – with its flowing rivers and flowers,
mountains and forests –
will show you how see beauty again.
Your body will know comfort and pleasure again.

Your heart will be satisfied.

. * This is one of the poems that is in my new book that I’m working on right now! It’ll go in the section called “Hope.” I can’t wait to share it with you this year! I’ll be self publishing again and definitely will need your help through a Kickstarter campaign that will offer some great stuff! Stay tuned!

I can’t remember what the exact words were that

I can’t remember what the exact words were that this coaching client said to me yesterday, but she said something about how I have such a gift for really seeing a person and loving them where they are at. She said I was like an angel sent to her just at the right time and her life is changed for the better because of our work together.
.
I am sometimes shy when people say such things about me - when their eyes reflect their soul and I can feel the gratitude in their hearts. I have been doing this work for a long time now and still —
1. The courage that people have to look deeply into their stuff and honor their soul’s evolution gives me hope for our world and future.
.
2. It is a privilege to walk alongside my coaching and psychotherapy clients.
.
3. People come for my combination of my wholistic expertise, but they stay because of the authenticity that I try and show up with and how i keep on seeing the light in them and am devoted to uncovering all that dims that light so it can shine in this world needing such brilliant light.
.
4. Love heals.
.
5. We all could use a dose of self compassion.
.
6. We are all angels for someone.
.
7. Connection heals. We don’t heal all alone by ourselves and in isolation. We were hurt in relationships and so we need to heal in relationships.
.
8. Allowing ourselves to be loved as we are - imperfect and human and divine and a mess - is probably the hardest work there is.
.
9. I have come to really try and “take in” the gratitude a client shows me and feel a gratitude welling you in my own hearts for the divine and how she brings people together at the right time, for the right season of our lives.
.
.
If it’s time for you to have someone alongside you in coaching (vis Zoom or in person) or therapy (in person only), grab a consult with me. If there are none left when you go to my website, just email me. Lisa@lisamccrohan.com and I’ll see what I can dork get you one before mid February. I’d love to walk beside you.

Today is a fantastic day to turn 46! (Gray hair, vibrant spirit, strong body, loving connections, adventures on the way, and a fierce devotion to doing what the Divine puts on my heart. Unstoppable!).
.
We can be fabulous at any age! Amen, sisters! Mid-lifers - we are just gettin’ started! Watch out, world! We are fierce, focused, and don’t give a $h!& anymore about the stuff that has held us back in the past. We are leading movements - right in the places we live, love, parent, work, and walk - for deeper self love and compassion to flourish in this world!

Devotion + Self compassion = a deep freedom (and peace).
.
In my world of Somatic Experiencing, this “freedom” is “nervous system regulation” — when we have the capacity within us to respond to stress effectively AND the capacity to rest and “take in the good.”
.
In my world of spirituality, this “freedom” is “alignment with the Divine” — where there is a deeper sense of flow, ease, and soft delight, trusting we are held and accompanied even when we can’t see much ahead of us. We trust.
.
.
(This line of poetry is from my poem, Wildly Herself which will be in my new book coming out in 2020!)
