To Being Liberated
It is funny how life try’s to cut you off at the knees, waiting for you to falter, show signs of weakness or giving up and only then do we show our true colors.
What is it that makes us hang on to the familiar? The tried and true? The thing that is comfortable?
I’m not sure, but it has been my one major fault for so many years that I almost forgot my own true nature. My calling. The need for LIFE so abundant and full that it takes your breath away most days and fills your dreams with anticipation at night.
After being shocked into reality, thereby saving my life (literally and figuratively), I feel such a sense 
of freedom like none before. As you may wonder what caused such an enlightenment, I fear now is not the time to share but with my closest friends. However, to those who must know and have yet to be told, simply drop me an email or PM on Facebook and I will disclose the rod that tried to make me buckle.
With such a renewed sense of exhilaration and lust for life and future, I dream of the endless possibilities that await my grasp.
No longer am I weighed by the worries of pulling and dragging that which wants to remain steadfast and hold to that which is burdening.
No longer will I plea to a sense of stubbornness nor urge enlightenment on a soul that deems addiction worth more than life and love.
These acts had left me with a need not yet understood yet I knew I was less than whole.
So, to being liberated and allowed to pursue the paths that I am destined! To being thankful for the experience which showed me true love! To being able to savor the good memories and not shed a tear! All this I resound gratitude!
It is with such joy that I write these words…it is with great sadness that an era is over…it is with great happiness that I see my future unfolding into a great life.
And though I will permanently carry the mark of a vain attempt at a renewed vow upon my hand, I will consider it a reminder that I am where I am because of the life I have lived thus far.
With all that said, I AM BACK! I will begin this week to regain my internet presence and visiting all the blogs I’ve neglected these past months. I truly came to love my internet peeps and there are those that I hope to meet in person someday.
Cheers and Prosperity for the New Year!

Ironic. Just hours ago I left a comment on another blog:
“And in the end, I realized that what I was looking for was not to be found, but to be created.” John Hughes.
This single sentence, written by the Shakespeare of the 1980′s teen-set, has carried me through many changes, and has always served as a reminder that I am charge of Roy, as you are in charge of Lisa.
May this phase of your road-trip through life include much new scenery, many new flavors, scents, and colors, and may the people you meet influence you as well as the people you have already met — or more so.

Roy: It is so refreshing to have the realization that I do not need that which is cumbersome in order to follow some sense of duty. Hope you don’t mind, but I’m taking that quote as one of my mantras
Lisa, whatever your “epiphany” was, it was a good thing. We do need to shake ourselves out of our comfort zones sometimes. Change is scary, but it certainly can be for the best! Now I’ll go email you and ask what happened!

Linda: yes, shaking me up was what I needed for sure. Now I’ll go answer your email
Hey Linda, tried to email you but wouldn’t go through. I’ll try later.
Good for you, Lisa. You are right that all your choices have made you who you are today and the Universe is always ready to shine a light on a new and better path when we are ready to open our eyes to the light. It sounds like 2011 is going going to be filled with promise for you. Congratulations and Happy New Year.
Thanks, Jayne! 2011 is definitely going to be MY year!
Welcome Back, Lisa!

Thanks, Jen. 3 days after the start of my liberation I was singing at the top of my lungs the Pat Benetar song: Hit me with your best shot. That was MY independence day!
Hello Lisa. Good to hear that you’re back! Sometimes it’s really tiring to be scary all the time. Good for you to be back in a renewed and more joyful life. Wishing you all the happiness and power for this New year. Goodluck! – Lyka
Hi LIsa! New year is another year of changing our lifestyle. It’s up for us to go for anew or to retain something which we used to do. Nice to hear that are here again sharing new experiences and lessons of life. Just be with yourself and everything will be fine. Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome back Lisa….Enjoy life and explore it! Always let yourselves go out of the box. Experience new things and learn from it. It is the essence of life. See you again Lisa!
Welcome back.. it’s good and refreshing to see your post.. continue posting..
Hi lisa,Sometimes life can be more stressful when we hold back things so much that we can’t see the life that is ahead of us, maybe this new year we should learn to let go and live the lessons alone..thanks for posting..This is my first time here and cant wait till your next post.
