Rockstar and Supermom

I am 42. I know I know, its a little too late to start a singing career. Guess what else? I am a Mom to two wonderfully creative, imaginative and delightful boys. Another strike against me? Well, maybe. But guess what. I don't give a flying fuck.

15 years ago, I was 27 years old. I was working in the theater, I was married, I was making money and having fun with my life. My husband and I decided to have a family, I gave up my career and my dreams to pursue something else...I wanted to be a mom. This was both a blessing and a curse. It was a blessing because I created two of the most amazing people on the planet...Dante and Julian. It was a curse because I gave up the thing I loved to do the most, work on stage. This is what life is about, the Bitter and the Sweet. Yin and Yang. Give and Take. Ebb and Flow. You cannot have one without the other. I have a very dear friend who often blogs about the "seasons" of life, and these were my seasons. I was in the limelight, I was in the labor room, I was in the kitchen, and now...I am back in the limelight. Dig? If not, read on.

I received counseling for years from a friend of mine who is clairvoyant. She is not a freak, she is extremely gifted. She helped me through some extremely tough times in my life. My husband had leukemia and we were destitute for years. My friend worked very hard to get me through those times. When my husband died, she was still there beside me, helping me sift through the grief and pain. One day she had a vision about me. She said, "there are two Lisa's, they are completely opposite from one another, and yet they are both you." at the time I kind of knew what she was talking about, but now I TOTALLY understand. I am a Rockstar and a Supermom.
I don't care if I am 42 and putting together a rock band. I know in my heart that the music is there and it is calling me. I don't care if it has never been done, I am going to work until I am up there gigging, recording and making money. My sons are going to learn something very different than what I was taught as a child. Follow your dream and don't ever forget what it is.

Not to go off on a tangent, but if you ever get a chance to see the movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness" get it. It holds an amazing message. Of course I hope I never have to sleep in a train station bathroom with my children while I build my dream, but the movie provides and incredible lesson. "DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM." Check it out yo.
