"I have done what was mine to do, now you must do what is yours to do," St. Francis.
This blog is the always honest and sometimes messy musings of my journey. I have been a young widow, a single working mother, the matriarch of a wild and beautiful blended family, a missionary, a grieving mother, a writer, a speaker, a counselor and now a grandmother.
We have lived in Swaziland, Africa, working with AIDS orphans and now reside in Spain where we mentor, teach and encourage a generation of brilliant young leaders.
I love America and it will always be home, no matter where I lay my head.
I am married to a fearless man that pushes me to be brave and I am the mother of six amazing children who have taught me more about love than I ever knew.
I am a defender of the vulnerable and a lover of life.
Death, despair and grief have tried to overtake me at times, but I am still here and I am still fighting for my family and the next generation.
I will never give up.
I have found true joy in the everyday mundane moments of real life and have been swept away on some grand adventures.
I have found a strength deep within me that I never knew existed, and a God that loves bigger and deeper then I can fathom.
I want my life to be a living, breathing beacon of hope drenched in authenticity,
I hope you find some beauty in my ashes.
Welcome,
Lisa-Marie Black
