I am gonna change some things up

Hey all...I am gonna start posting more pics and I am gonna change some things up very soon. So bear with me as I make these adjustments. Just letting you know.

I am currently going throught the book of Matthew with a friend. We meet each week and discuss what we have gone over. I really like this commentary book I just bought. I am doing this while reading about Grace...a little challenging but I am hanging in there.

The month of June is going to be insane. Every weekend is already packed and I have two trip planned...call me crazy but I do well under pressure. I don't like it at all, but I do very well. L.

Lost my connection

A very short post today...busy busy...
Well, I have been without internet at my house for 3 days...my modem wasn't working. They came out today to fix it. Yay. I have to admit it was kinda nice not having the distraction of the internet at home. I was able to go to bed earlier and I was able to get some reading done.
I am really missing my friend (Aner) and cant wait till she gets back!! Love L.

Twitter seems to be down

Ok, so Twitter is down again...I woke up this morning to no internet or cable, I found out that there was an outtage in my area and I just had to wait. Wait. That is a weird word. I don't think I remember how to wait. My world seems so fast and on demand ...waiting is like a foriegn concept. So I turned on my Itunes and cleaned the kitchen and baked some lemon bars and key lime bars. Wait. Whatever! It was a good morning!! Just me and my Jesus making some desserts. Love it! L.

Not nervous anymore..

Well it is done, my BS assignment is done and posted for all the world to see...I wanted to give her readers something they have never seen...Go check out Andreas Pagehttp://www.andjonbabyluke.blogspot.com/ and see what I posted!!! Gotta love this blog gig.

I had a fabulous lunch date/movie date today. We went to see Made Of Honor, it was a cute movie but one of those forgetable, could have waited for the DVD kind of films. Overall it was a great weekend. Back to work tomorrow, yay. I really do love my job!! Love L.

Happy Memorial Day...

I am getting nervous about my blog sitting assignment...but I am sure it will be fine. I hope I can do it right...it is kind of complicated, to me at least. I may have to go to Erickas to get some help. Make sure you check http://www.andjonbabyluke.blogspot.com/ Andreas blog for all of the upcoming interesting posts from all of the sitters....Erickas is too funny, mine will be something no one has ever seen before... seriously!

I have started reading "Whats So Amazing About Grace" it is a very deep book, I am enjoying it. I sometimes have trouble with books like this, it seems they require alot of work to sift through all of the quotes and information. I must admit I am the first one to give up on a book that requires much work or research effort. Not this time my friends, I am on a mission. My mission is to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone...my mission is to dig deeper than the surface. The surface is where I tend to be the most comfortable. I am ready to change that. The next time that we sit down to talk, hopefully I will be armed with alot more depth. ...Love L.

Things have been crazy since last week and I haven't really slowed down much...sorry friends. I have been a bad blog friend lately and not had time to check pages and comment. I will catch up soon, I promise.

Now, I am super excited to be blog sitting for Andreas blog page, I am just nervous that I won't be as creative or as fun as Ericka. I am so competitive...what is that all about?? IDK. Anyway I am thinking about some cool and exciting things to blog about...you'll have to check her page to see how it all turns out.

As for a leg update still healing along...man this thing is taking forever. But slow and steady wins the race, right? It is closing up little by little. Praise God!

On the gross front I have been inundated by flying bugs inside my house. I called an exterminator and he said since they have been cutting down trees around the power lines all over town that they(the bugs) have had to fly around and find new homes...I have killed at least 7 in one day! So gross, I mean these things are big enough to throw down and make out with. EEEWWW. Talk you soon ....Love L.

Ab SOUL lutely incredible

Man...this weekend was awesome...I know that I tend to throw that word around kind of loosely sometimes ...awesome. This weekend was truly AWESOME. I saw amazing transformations and lives changed for the better all over the place. People who were stuck, angry, confused, bitter, distant, unable to feel, or generally down and out became walking testimonials for this amazing training weekend program...I am so thankful to not only have gone through the training but to be on a team and help with this training..... there is not really anything I could say that would prepare someone for the impact this training has on a life...each impact is as different as the individual, all I know is how it changed my life...I added the link because people from all over the world read this blog and last time I checked people all over the world are hurt, broken, or at the end of their rope, if that is you...check this out, then ask yourself.....what do I have to lose??What could I gain?? ...love Lisa http://www.discovery-training.com/

Amazing transformation!

This is Shelli's before, she wore this for 20 years!

This is after new cut and color!!!






My client Kellie W called me one day to see if I could help her friend that she works with...this friend named Shelli had been "stuck" in a style rut for 20 years...needless to say it was time for a change...once we had her "into" the idea of change, she called me and made an appointment. Well she came into the salon and it was great, she brought some pictures with her for me to get an idea of where she wanted to go...this is always a great idea...it gives me a window into the clients mind....I started with a color change and decided to go a little bit longer than the picture that she had showed me just because iI thought that if I went that short she would be in shock...this happens sometimes. I then rinsed the color and began to cut her hair in a style that was fun, up-to-date, and easy for her to style. I looked and she was crying, I was like what is wrong...she said it is just so pretty....I think that she thought I was scalping her at first but then I showed her that I left all of her length but just layered it and gave her some style...she loved it ...still crying she gave me hug and said she LOVED it...she then sent me some pictures of her old style and her new style...Amazing transformation!

Great day...

Yesterday was a great day, although I had to work a little bit...it was still a very good day. I went shopping and met with tons of friends, but the best part was that I ate what I wanted to yesterday including cake and cake and more cake...mmmm. It was good! I just don't want to see how that one day impacts the diet plan...I am back on the plan today !! I met with tons of friends and recieved alot of beautiful things...thank you sooo much for making my day special!! I love my birthday...oh I already said that. Love ~L

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is the day of my birth....I always love my birthday, not sure why but I do. So today will be a good day. It is beautiful outside, clear and not humid...great hair day...bonus!
On a serious note.....Andrea was apparently car-jacked yesterday.... some masked man, armed with a fork ran and jumped into her car, while she was at the gas station, he violently took a bite out of the front of my cake. All she could do was stand there in disbelief and the attacker ran away before help could arrive...this was her story...so funny. It is so fine with me, she went out of her way to get me a cake...which is exactly my favorite kind. I love all my gifts Penny, they are perfect. That candle smells so good!
On my Leg issue...it is amazing I can so tell that someone is seriously praying for me, I have had some serious skin growth in the past week or so...It is obviously smaller...so excited about that! Thank you all so much for praying for my healing...I will add a picture or some video later.I just got burnt out on that. But now that I have some progress....I want to share that with y'all. Thank you for all of Birthday wishes. It is going to be an amazing day!...I love you....~Lisa

I needed to update...

I have been super busy lately and I have been enjoying the beautiful weather. Yesterday I went out with Aner and we shot the beautiful Traci in the West End of Dallas...that place brought back alot of memories. When I was married, my husband and I would go down there and dance and go to the arcades, we spent alot of weekends down there. It is kind of sad to see the main building where all the shopping used to be all closed up. It is amazing how things change. I had alot of fun walking through "memory lane" yesterday, but it was more fun shooting Traci, she was an amazing model...she moved and twirled on her on and we didn't have to ask her to do much but "stop right there"! It really was fun and I shot the entire thing in manual mode. Technical photoggy stuff, but way more difficult than it seems. I am sure it will become easier as time goes on. Tonight is my last homegroup dinner with Kristen as our leader, she is getting married soon. I have to say I will miss these girls. I have been there exactly 1 year and I feel I have grown in that group. I think I am going to go to Andreas in a little while as she is without a vehicle and homebound...There...that is my update...oh and my leg...it is getting a little better day by day. I am hoping to be back on my negative pressure therapy soon!! Love yall ~Lisa
