Trumped or Clintoned?

Eva Lisle — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 21:52:15 +0000

Let’s forget the fact that being trumped leaves me feeling overpowered and being clintoned sounds like I’ve been gutted. Am I the only one who thinks our election year has turned into some kind of weird reality show titled “The Emperor Has No Sense”? Just like the favorite children’s story from Hans Christian Andersen, “The Emperor’s New Clothes” our Emperor candidates are letting it all hang…

The “Artistic” Kid

Eva Lisle — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 21:59:00 +0000

April is Autism Awareness Month so I decided to share this brief story. Many years ago when my daughter was in early middle school she and a friend helped babysit children who came to a party we were hosting for our directors. The parents were on the property but since we have a pool and I wanted the parents to relax I hired Madison and her friend Kristin to look after the few children who were…

Politics As (un) Usual

Eva Lisle — Fri, 04 Mar 2016 00:39:56 +0000

“Allowing non-citizen’s to vote??! What?! Did I hear that right?” I was certain I misread a news feed but, sadly, it was true. There is a growing push in some quarters to legalize voting for non-citizens in the USA. Apparently it has already begun in California while I was busy preparing for a our daughter’s wedding last fall. I had promised myself to stay well away from the politics of the…

11. Day 11: Considerations, Fears & Roadblocks

Eva Lisle — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:30:11 +0000

I read a great way to describe thoughts in Jack Canfield’s book yesterday. He describes these things as just “part of the process of success”. He says look out for these things, they will happen: considerations, fears and roadblocks. Considerations: are thoughts that tell you that you can’t or shouldn’t do something. It might look like “My wife’ll kill me”, “I don’t want to get up two hours…

9. Day 25: The Joy Of Christmas Presence

Eva Lisle — Thu, 25 Dec 2014 13:07:22 +0000

This holiday to England has been all about presence. Presence with our own hearts, presence with each one we were privileged to spend time with and presence with what gifts life brought to us each and every day. Christmas Presence is that time when we all join together in that beautiful presence of love that is always within us. We have met numerous people who celebrate Christmas and the deeper…

7. Day 10: The Being Well

Eva Lisle — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 12:36:10 +0000

My own sense of WELL-BEING comes from drinking deeply and diving into the BEING WELL. When I am down, tired, fractious or just feeling less-than in any way. I must go within and extend the love that I am. I can go to that well of love that I am and drink deeply. I can breathe deeply and dive in fully. This is my restoration and reminder. This is truly who and what I am. Any kindness I have…

2. Day 28: Action Is Essentional to Living

Eva Lisle — Wed, 28 May 2014 12:02:02 +0000

Safety is the key to moving forward. Moving is also key to moving forward. How can you feel safe when you don’t? How can you move forward if you don’t feel safe? How can you trust the desires of your heart when you don’t really trust your self? I just read an article in a recent Town & Country touting the benefits of a personal nutritionist (soon to be followed by a personal farmer).

1. Day 29: Being Here Now

Eva Lisle — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 05:00:43 +0000

I continue to feel the tidal pull between business, my spiritual practice of my commitment to extending love to my fears and wanting to be with family. The pull of the actions commitment seems to require is great. It is hard to sit still and meditate or BE in the face of commitment (even if it is a commitment to facing my fear and blogging about it). I must not really understand commitment or…

1. Day 15: Creation is a By-product of the Awareness of Love

Eva Lisle — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 05:00:59 +0000

What DO I really want? I want commitment to matter, to show, to have a purpose. I want it to lead to revelation or greater awareness to Love’s presence and a greater awareness of my own strength, holiness and delight. If I’m honest, I feel commitment will also lead to a created form, a body of work or experience that is useful, precious and lovingly beneficial to all. I need to extend love…

1. Day 13: Loving Circle of Care

Eva Lisle — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 05:30:44 +0000

Holy Spirit and I look in the mirror together: HS: Dearest One, I see a woman who has spent her whole life loving and caring for others; dolls, friends, teachers, parents, husband, children, members, clients and now is discovering that one person was left out of that loving circle of care. You, your Self, and I Am. Dearest One, you have done nothing wrong by caring for others or for…
