Introducing Lisa

Lisa is a dreamer and loved to spend time in her own little world as a child. She is married and has a super husband Steve, and two wonderful children Ben and Mollie. She has an English Sheepdog called Bobby as her pet.

Born and brought up in Sheffield UK, she never enjoyed school except for creative or sporty things like baking, sewing, cycling, tennis, hiking, and netball.

She loved English essay writing because she could let her imagination run wild in stories, about nature and fairies.

She battled with an eating disorder as a young girl and had several self-esteem issues in her life because her family dynamic was extremely dysfunctional.

She has had psychological trauma, betrayal, and loss. However, she saw all these experiences as part of her spiritual path and journey, and today she is in full gratitude for all life’s events as she feels that they have propelled her forward on her path to enlightenment.

It is when her parents passed away, she was in grief and she was motivated to begin writing sometimes in 2012. This budding writer became a full fledged distinguished writer.

Her spiritual growth journey is a path of complete trust; life has taught her that God or source always has your back and is leading you forward once you step into full alignment with your being.

Lisa moved to Nottinghamshire

She had a thriving beauty business but she felt divinely guided to move to the Scottish Highlands. It was a journey of 445 miles from her home in Nottinghamshire.

To fully trust in the call and shift would mean leaving behind her business, friends, and two children. It was not easy as it meant exiting her comfort zone to face the unknown.

When she moved there with her husband it was almost winter, the weather was cold, and they lived remotely in a chilly little stone cottage with no friends and no job.

She missed all her old comforts in the beginning but as the spring came around, the trees blossomed, and the lambs were born, Scotland just bloomed with breathtaking beauty. She knew she had been right to trust in the call.

She had worked in the fitness industry coaching and teaching classes; then she swam in the masters and is a kickboxing blackbelt coach.

Fitness has been a huge part of her growth journey, supporting her through some of her tough moments in life. Martial arts taught her a lot about mindset and the power of commitment.

Despite injuries and knockback, she persevered and never missed a class even if it meant I had to just go through the motions whilst in recovery. She accepted that working with our bodies requires effort and pain but it is important not to neglect the mind which is of equal importance and will grow through some mental pressure.

She has held management and training positions within the fashion and beauty sector and ran her own businesses.

She is now happy in complete alignment with her purpose and being.

Lisa Precious / Smiley Blue

Lisa added Smiley Blue to her name. The idea came to her because of a childhood trip to South Africa which she loved. She saw the name on a sign on the wall in Durban.

Smiley Blue is about painting more smiles on people’s faces.

Her vision is to bring happiness and joy to people and to align them with nature’s principles in a fun and vibrant way.

The quote that has carried her through her life is, “A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins”.

She believes in the power to flow our energy towards anything, as the universe is constantly mirroring back toward us.
