The faeries are here to be heard and to impact the lives of anyone who will listen. Below are the voices of faerie lovers that we have collected over the last year. They speak of hope, inspiration, and love.
Lisa, this is so beautiful. I've read it many times since Monday and it has provided comfort to me. I absolutely love your artwork! I think you are the most talented woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. The words expressed in your poem touch my heart because I am struggling right now. I feel like the energy that has been sucked from me has left me feeling limp and all my emotions are stuck in my throat and back. I do need to 'shake it'. I haven't been able to do 'cleanse', acutally I haven't taken any time at all to even breathe for myself it seems. I feel like I need a good long cry."
Love, Monica Angelina
My Dear Lisa, I am always touched by the powerful and vulnerable woman that you are. Everytime you speak or put your thoughts on paper, you make an impact and a difference. and I so get who you areand what a gift you are to all of us who come into contact with you."
Love, Kathy Lalonde
Lisa, It still amazes me that whenever I choose a new Faerie to write about, she shows up very subtly, yet so strong. For the past month and a half I have been struggling. I have been allowing a certain woman's negative views about me to be real for me. I have sat back pretending it would stop. I have approached the subject on numerous occasions. I have cried, I have bitched, I have laughed, I have ignored.
Love is not worth allowing other's beliefs to have power over you.
Money is not worth hurting and believing yourself unworthy.
Sex is not worth being abused.
Happiness is not worth tears.
Self Worth is not worth living into Self Doubt.
Don't waste the power anymore.
When Sophia can not be seen, you look past a lot to have the 'little' things in life. And in having some of those 'little' things sometimes you will allow another person to be your voice, to be your thoughts about yourself, and even sometimes your guide to actions. What is life when you allow yourself to be the puppet of another's sickness?
I choose having Sophia as one of my many powerful Faerie friends. And, when I have finished with quitting my job today, I will call you so that I can run the story. Thank you Lisa, for all that you are and all that you create through the magickal Faeries that speak to you; and thank you for Sophia.
I love you my dear, Blessed 'BE'.
The Faerie Tempest is who I am, and I choose to give up being powerless to individuals and circumstance! "
Dear Lisa I just wanted to say I was extremely moved by your drawing and story. Not just because its my namesake (my name is Margaux), but also because the things you mention in your story are so close to what I've been going through in my life right now that it's almost scary. The people that are the closest to me, my family, have been extremely hard on me lately regarding several life decisions I've made that I feel make me happy.
For 23 years I have done absolutely everything my parents have ever asked of me, some of those things required the sacrifice of my early childhood years in order to take care of the household duties that should have been their responsibilities. I've finally been able to say to my parents, ' I am an adult and I can't support you and my sister anymore. I have to be my own person. I can't continue to sacrifice my life to save yours.' And as is the case, they have blamed my new attitude on the few things in my life that make me happy: my boyfriend, graduating from college, new friends.
Rather than being happy for me, I have been met with nothing but negativity. They blame the fact that I'm not their to cook every meal for them, chauffeur them around or clean up after them on the fact that I now live with my boyfriend, and my boyfriend insists that I've worked my whole life for them and that the more distance I put between myself and them, the less dependent they will be on me.
Your story and picture gives me hope that things will get better."
Thank you.
Lisa, ...I don't know how this works or who is drivin' (which faerie) but there is a connection here that is something that really moves me and I am very, very grateful for it.
I am about to jump in my car and go to McCall, Idaho...check it out, hopefully find a place to live...come home... get my life and move. Thanks for sharing your talent... your new (?) faerie made me cry today... and took it's place in my journey. DIRT MATTERS

I just wanted to write to let you know that "the girls" arrived safe and sound and I am still in awe at how gorgeous my faerie box is!!
It is just like a little treasure box and I am like a little kid on Christmas morning!
I cannot say enough about how sweet and personalized it is. The jewelry is really pretty, the little bottle of "faerie dust", my moss and wand (what crystal is that?) and the scent of peace from the candle and oil (makes me feel like sleeping :) aaahh)....
...and having both of the little booklets....it has a very special place displayed on my bedroom shelf next to my little angel collection! ...and I do feel especially blessed to have the last of the "original faerie boxes"..... and to be a recipient of your gifts of talent!
I appreciate so much all of the work you put into it for me. I will treasure it.
I will stay in touch and will have many more orders for you in the future. Your work is very very beautiful!!"
Thank you again Lisa!!
