I haven’t sat down to write in quite awhile. It’s not because I’ve abandoned the love of writing, nor has my desire to encourage others changed. If I’m completely transparent, I haven’t sat down to write because I’ve been preoccupied with other things.

Some might say that’s a good thing but as I sit still on this cold and rainy night in October I question if running is ever a solution.

This blog was birthed during a period of quarantine and isolation. I had to write to keep from losing my mind but as soon as minor freedoms were once again afforded I jumped back into a going, doing, being routine.

I have a habit of running from growth, that’s my thing, you’ll have to identify what yours is! I believe the pandemic was the proper time for the creation of Simply Lisa. I trusted that instinct enough to act upon it. I put the pieces in place and left them on the table chasing what, when, and where.

Tonight I issue a challenge to myself, and that is stop running from all that is Lisa. I also challenge anyone who reads this to stop running from their destiny! You know what you’re called to do but just like me you allow people, places, and things control of your time by being more to and for them than you are to yourself.

The success of Simply Lisa rests upon my shoulders, and with the Lord’s help I will fulfill my purpose.
