I love to play music, and it's, it's my joy, and I, I'll play a little bit for you as well, it's our God-given right. From birth. To take care of our mind, body, soul. It's within our core being of our survival. To be accountable. For how we show up in the world, and I myself can understand just as well as you can that we can be so overwhelmed with the responsibilities of family, of life, of jobs, of, responsibility, of what's expected, and great expectations we have of ourselves and what we feel other people have on us. My message to you today is make sure every single day you carve out a little bit of time, go for a walk outside. That's like my biggest thing. Every day I make time to go out for a walk for a half hour, 1 hour, make time for you, even if you just kind of have to shut the door and give yourself a half hour of just me time. It is so important. I, I have learned over my years that my me time is the greatest value I give to myself because it's a timeout. It's a timeout just to say, stop. I need to put the brakes on. I need to just do nothing. And secretly, I do not do nothing very well. I'm always busy doing something. So, please, please, please take my advice, which I don't have an easy time taking my own, of making special time, carving special time out every day just for you. Even if it's a coffee break in the morning before you start your day, just take that time out to be at peace and just Be mindless of, or I should say be mindful of being. Mindless, I think that makes sense, just for a few minutes, you deserve it,

Her Interview
Ten minutes with Lisa
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would have to say my parents. My mom is still living, my dad is not. My dad was an airplane pilot, my mom's a hairdresser, and my mom's from Europe. Both my parents instilled in me and my brother a work ethic that you just love your work, you love your family. My dad always said he loved his work more, but he always said, you are your own billboard. So show up and be everything that you possibly can, and give it your all. Being that my mom is European, my mom has this work ethic that no matter what you do, she's still to this day asking me, are you getting paid for it? My mom is a go-getter, and both my parents are go-getters, so they both instilled in me just don't stop, keep going. My parents raised me with the idea that time is money. However, as life moves forward, I realize that time is more valuable than money.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
You are your own billboard. So show up and be everything that you possibly can, and give it your all. That's what my dad always told me, and it's stuck with me throughout my career.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Learn that maybe rejection is redirection, because rejection can be very hard to take. And no matter what our age is, we're like big kids. So whether they're in their twenties, whatever age they are, just be strong and stand in your own power. Believe in your knowing, and if you want to do something, if you want to be something, then stand in your ground for it. Don't let somebody else redirect you doing something you don't feel passionate about. Give yourself permission to own who you are and be okay with that. Don't think you need somebody else's permission.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I'm learning that it's making the connection. For instance, I want to do keynote speaking, so I'm taking the steps and reaching out and making connections with newer people, which is great. However, in the karmic universe, what you give out, you get back. I can sit with that, even though what I give out doesn't necessarily pay my bills today, but somehow, someway, it's going to come back to me. There has been a hump in getting over that, accepting that reality that what you give, you get. However, it's not always in the moment, and just being patient with the process. I think that's the challenge - being patient with the process of things unfolding and not giving up. Like, for example, several of the books I wrote, I was like, okay, I'm not making any money on this, forget it, I'm just gonna put this on the shelf. So the idea is, life redirects you, and it redirected me, and so I've fallen into my niche. However, it's being patient with the process, because it doesn't always generate money, because I think that ultimately, as human beings, we're like, okay, where's the money? And it shouldn't be that way. I've had a conversation with family the other night, and I'm like, you gotta stop looking at it for the money. Why are you doing it? What's driving you? What do you want to give back? How do you impact those around you with what you're doing? Forget about what you're getting, because it's not about what's in it for me.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
There's a few things. I guess the top one is going to be authenticity, respect, and transparency. Let's be real, we're all on this planet moving forward, so let's just say it like it is.

KALEIDOSCOPE II
A poetic meditation on how life's experiences shape our perspective, much like the ever-changing patterns within a kaleidoscope.
KALIDESCOPE II
Life is a metaphor.
Look closer, and you will see.
Life has shaped you
like branches of a tree.
This prism I’m walking in is created by me. Like a rubber band stretching, this monkey mind expands. It creates a mental jungle gym with a floor of sand.
Waves of life are both harsh and kind. When I look into this kaleidoscope, there is no time to rewind. I see the decaying design.
Kaleidoscope of turns, shaped from life—or is it shaped from my mind? The interpretation of what lessons to learn: what to beget, what to leave alone.
Kaleidoscope views differ. We marvel at its crystallized maneuvers. Shapes shift as we turn the dial, colors created by interlateral styles.
Your life is a masterpiece. We act like we don’t know. We create our days from experiences. Like a plant, we grow.
Life is beautiful. Look and see.
You hold the viewfinder. Your kaleidoscope reflects the life you lead.
Be magnificent, because you are.
By Lisa Eva Gold
A poignant exploration of anger as an alien force within, examining its origins, nature, and transformative power. Through introspective verse and reflection, discover how understanding unmet expectations and mental awareness can redirect rage into redefinition.
ANGRY
Understanding the stranger within: A journey through anger, fear, and self-discovery.
ANGRY
What is anger? I cannot see.
Why am I angry? I don't know why. I just shut the door. I put my walls up and don't let anyone in. Not even I can understand me when anger sets in.
The energy in the room turned dark like the night. The overload triggered something that wasn't going right. My nervous system went into a fight.
Who is this anger I see? This anger is not me I decree. I must have picked up this hitch hiker on the climb. Or maybe it was the clown I met through descending detoured vines.
All I know is that this feeling is alien. And when it shows up I don't know how to greet it or even let it be. Apparently I cannot crack the code. Who is this anger that shadows me?
Why is it here and what does it want?
Anger is a stubborn force. Let me be. Leave me alone. I want to be free.
Please tell me who you are and what you want from me. I do not know how to handle this. I do not know how to respond. I do not know how to react. I do not feel safe. I am afraid. I am scared.
Anger is the color red. It flies like a flag. Like a traffic light in my head. I should close my eyes and just go to bed.
See the child inside of me. I take her hand and guide her to be free. I tell her it's okay. Red means Stop. So sit down and reevaluate the plot.
No one has to be right. It's mental health awareness that delegates the fright.
My expectations are unmet. Maybe that's what anger is. Seeing a situation for what it is not. Forgetting that the only control we have is an inside job spot. Life is the stage. We are the main actors in our world. Maybe not knowing how to react to a situation or a circumstance is frustrating , and we think we should know it all , but when we don't , we react before understanding how to respond. So stop and reevaluate the situations from a distance before you react. Dive into that space in time. So you can redirect that anger to re-define. Like music notes on a music composition, there is space between the notes for a reason.

A poetic meditation on personal transformation and letting go. Through the metaphor of a journey packed with beliefs and values, the author explores the courage required to release what no longer serves us and embrace meaningful growth.
SUITCASE
A journey of self-discovery where the most valuable souvenirs are the lessons we learn and the burdens we release.
SUITCASE
Boarded a 747 from Gate 9.
I took:
- My beliefs
- My charm
- My confidence
- My feelings
- My love
- My morals
- My sense of humor
- My thoughts
- My values
They were all neatly packed to one side.
It reads:
Cosmic Harmony
On the sticker inside.
Life is a series of patterns.
Numbers grow with age.
Time slides through our hourglass with a sense of rhyme. Seasons are rhythmic—3, 6, 9, 12 is just divine.
The shape of infinity never dies.
This time around, I left space in my suitcase on one side.
I promised myself that when I return, I would come back with my pride—
to learn to be courageous, proud, and bold; to stand in my power and learn from the load.
I want to travel lighter.
Let things go.
“Lighten up” is a lifelong destination—
a tainted path of residue filtration.
The plane disembarked.
Within the hourglass of time, I re-examined what I had packed.
I learned what fit best and what not to bring back.
I left space in my suitcase on one side—for souvenirs I promised myself I would pick up to take back:
- The smiles
- The cherished memories
- The love
Having the courage and confidence in knowing what not to re-pack.
It’s time to go back.
Boarded a 747
from a gate unnumbered.
I left my suitcase, yet I wondered.
The greatest transformation is not what we pack—it's what we uncover.
That’s worth taking back.
