  • Uplifting reminders to connect with the best in yourself, others, and the world!

    With so much negativity in the world, we can use some inspiration. Join us as we spend a few moments reflecting on the wisdom and beauty around us.


    If we are just meeting, thank you for stopping by!


    I’m Lisa and I’m glad you’re here. When I was just an eight-year-old kid, my dad used to play motivational stories on cassette tapes as we’d zip around in his sports car on the weekend. From that age I have been drawn to inspirational stories.


    Today, with so much negativity in the media and increasing disconnection with one another as a society, I’m more convinced than ever that we need positivity. I created Advice Column to remind you of the virtue you possess.


    Join me for a bi-monthly newsletter and podcast conversations that inspire you to connect with the best in yourself, others, and the world!


    Advice Column is a nonprofit 501(c)3. Thanks for joining me in this project so we can encourage one another along the journey!


    Warmly, Lisa Liguori

    Hi Friend,

    Sometimes I look in the mirror and focus on the deepening wrinkles across my face. Other times I notice that I move slower on the tennis court than I used to. I imagine the future and what it will feel like to ride the rest of this curve.

    If you’re like me, you may occasionally feel “blue” when you consider how little time you have here. Even if we are very fortunate, it won’t be long until we’re looking back on our nearly-completed lives and taking stock.

    I know what I hope I will be able to say at that time.

    1. I have a great relationship with my Creator and feel peaceful about what will come next.
    2. I’ve used my unique combination of resources, talents, skills, passions and experiences to make life better for others (especially those I’m closest to).
    3. I’ve had beautiful relationships and reveled in the joy of the journey.

    When I start to feel sad about having finite days, I try to remember that until my last breath I can still be useful. Thankfully wrinkles don’t prevent me from sharing an encouraging word with a struggling friend or from handing my jacket to someone living on the street in the cold. But right now I long for clarity on just how to be maximally useful. I think having a sharper definition of that would help me organize my time, find satisfaction in a focussed pursuit, and see the difference I might make.

    For that reason, I’m going into the locker room for “halftime.” In sports, halftime is that pause at the midpoint of the game to assess how it’s going. It’s a break to make plans for playing the next period even better than the first.

    In life, as I take time “off the field,” I’ll be meeting periodically (through Halftime Institute) with a small group of people who are asking a similar question, “How do I use what’s at my disposal to make the impact I’m on this earth to create?”

    I wanted to share because as I take this break I don’t plan to podcast as frequently. And I may write to you a little less often. But with your permission, I’d love to stay in touch. At a monthly(-ish) cadence, I’d like to share my journey, hear about yours, and continue learning with you.

    In the meantime, I hope you are thriving!

    With love,

    Lisa

  • Dump you Bucket List
    May 29 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    When Michaelangelo was asked how he created his Statue of David, he answered, “I just saw an angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”

    And in From Strength to Strength, Arthur C. Brooks says you are thinking about it wrong if you view your life as an empty canvas on which you need to create. Instead, he says you are already a complete work of art. Your life’s masterpiece emerges as you chip away everything that is not the essence of you.

    You may have a bucket list. And I’m a collector of experiences, too. I view life as a treasure hunt for new places, special people, and neat experiences. I believe in pursuing our dreams now. So I’m not ready to completely toss out my bucket list.

    But Brooks makes the point that if we think we have to add things to a bucket that starts out empty in order to have a fulfilling life, we can become frenzied. In that state we risk missing the joy of the journey we’re on. Beyond that, we miss seeing that there’s an angel inside already. YOU have been there all along.

    Today I’m reflecting on how I might differentiate between what part of my life is sculpture and which part is stone that I can chip away.

    How do you filter opportunities? How do you know when you’ve hit bedrock on who you are at your core? How do you slow down to enjoy the journey?

    Whatever your methods, here’s to hoping you can always see a clear vision of the masterpiece that you are!

  • It’s Never Too Late
    May 15 2024

    Hello Friend,

    I once visited my doctor, Lee Rice, who is as much a mentor as my physician. I told him I felt like pieces of my life were falling apart. I was going through a romantic break up, I had eaten more pounds of french fries than produce in the preceding six months, and I felt lost career wise.

    One of Dr. Rice’s best qualities is the way he listens; and his empathy alone is therapeutic. He let me explain my pessimistic outlook and then shared an encouraging observation that has stuck with me ever since.

    “In my years as a physician I have seen many people rebuild their lives from seeming ruin,” he said. “And it didn’t take that long, either,” he added. “For example, one man had to declare bankruptcy, was going through a divorce, and was addicted to narcotics. He turned his life around and In just a few short years he was growing a new business, enjoying a strong relationship, and living sober. It is never too late.”

    From time-to-time I feel like I’ve dug myself into a hole. And every time I think about what Dr. Rice told me. I think to myself that if someone can completely remake their life in just a few years, I can certainly reverse the course and get on a better track.

    Friend, If you find yourself feeling hopeless about any aspect of your life today, I hope you will be encouraged that change is fully possible.

    With love,
    Lisa
