I look at the scar that stretches across my abdomen. It is a reminder of years of pain, loss and shame. Sometimes I remember so vividly, the physical & emotional pain that accompany that scar. This wound will never heal, because it has changed me permanently.
Contrarily, the scar also represents my courage and faith. It reminds me that I am indeed a warrior and no one has ever called a warrior a victim. Like all warriors, I posses literal and figurative battle wounds. Only you can decide who you want to be when tested, victim or warrior.
I named this blog "Lisa Loves Fun", which is playful, a sharp contrast to this post. But I embrace fun and live it everyday, why? Because I know the alternative. I have faced mortality, more times than I care to remember, and yes I wear the scars to prove it. I have learned from this that I will never surrender my happiness to or for anyone ever again. Life is just too precious.
I embrace the good and bad in life. When you don't embrace the bad it can cause you to overlook the simple sweetness of each moment. Having a constant reminder of your battles can absolutely be productive. It has lead me to this wonderful place, a new city, new job,and new adventures, I wouldn't go back for anything.
I wish this peace for all of you and want to know where your scars have led you.
Tell me how your "battle wounds" have shaped your present or where you believe it will lead you in the future.
Lisa Loves Fun!

This is your idea, you better follow me
Hi friends, you insisted that I start a blog and like the good girl I am, I followed directions! So let's start with the first question and yes invite your friends to post.
In the age of social media, where you can't wear the same outfit twice because you will most definitely be caught on camera, what happens when you are "caught on camera" with your "EX"? Do you delete old photos? How do you erase your past on facebook?
