Hey, there! My name is Lisa. I’m just an ordinary person, just like you. I’m a mid-40-year-old who lives in the Midwest. I’m married to a fantastic man and have 2 wonderful adult sons. 

Now those are the basic statistics and that makes my life sound pretty wonderful on the surface … but as we get to know each other a little better, you’ll learn I’ve had both great and hard things happen in my life. I’ve lived through an unhappy divorce, the death of both my parents and even (currently) navigating relationships with my husband, 2 kids, 6 step-children, 1 step-grandchild and 8 siblings. Life has adventures nobody plans for … and I’ve had several.

My husband and I own 2 shoe stores and a furniture store in small towns, and we’re struggling with my lifelong medical diagnosis for which there is no cure. (Hmmm … not so perfect after all?) But these are the things we figure out as we go. Come along with me as I figure out how life unfolds. Perhaps you might even share how yours is really unfolding at the same time.
