Back to the business of blogging
It’s been a while. Of moving from highlight to highlight. And then not writing about it. Cause the heart is not simply suspended in a body. It’s also linked to time and place. So there’s a heavy in my chest, after all these months of membership in the Cancer Club. And if there’s a way to separate it all, I haven’t figured that one out.
‘Take a break.’
That’s Doc Galal. First appointment after the stem cell transplant.
‘I mean now take a break from the disease. No thinking about cancer, no writing about cancer, no talking about it either.’
Sure thing Doc. Except…
Minutes ago, in the waiting room, a row of faces swivelled towards me as I sat down.
‘Are you Lisa?’ Pleasant expressions up and down the line.
‘Ah, yes.’ Flash of pride.
A pause. Barometer changes. Brows lower.
‘Update your blog.’
Buh.
I’m pulling myself from the wreckage of my body. Operation stem cell reboot is a morphine-memory. My blood counts climb, I no longer count an IV pole as my closest companion, my father is relieved of his cot duty and I’ve banked all six seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
No offense Larry, but I’d rather not see you for a while.
So why the anxiety now?
I’m touching shadow instead of bright. Having less real problems and more imaginary ones.
The crisis is over but the healing has just begun.
And dammit if there isn’t a protocol for how to witness your own rebirth.
Amidst all the mixed signals, Jess points me in the direction of some relief.
Go see Anne Davis. She’s gifted in the ways of the body.
Anne is a cranial sacral therapist. My mind is so busy these days, I have no space to admit the ‘what’. I’ve never tried this therapy before and I’d rather know nothing about it. I want to melt into the bed and leave the sentences at the door.
But wouldn’t you know it. Anne spreads me thinner than a shrimp roll wrapper and then she speaks..
This is your time to sit back and watch. The period of action and treatment is over. It’s like you have thrown a pebble into the lake, now you only need to set an intention and watch the ripples.
Cool. A hint.
I take this as a cue to leave Canada.
I hope I’m not running away. In my experience the act of physically extracting oneself from a confusing situation means you end up carrying all your baggage with you . And I don’t mean the checked in kind.
But this idea of simply being, getting out of my own way, is appealing. Certainly less action oriented than ‘picking up the pieces’. And while nobody offers a blueprint on what to do after checking out of the Cancer club, the idea is that you do something.
Anything?
Maybe I need a mission statement. I’ve taken to reading a lot of self-help, financial books in the vein of ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’. And it seems that to be wildly successful, you need to have some sort of plan. Which never occurred to me before.
So here goes…
I want to make visible what wasn’t before.
Or…
from a Borges poem which Sol sent:
I’ll try to make more mistakes- I won’t try to be so perfect.
Probably won’t find that in the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
Somewhere, somehow the pursuit of perfection has lodged itself in my very marrow. From making lists to vaulting over myself to achieve, these manifestations of a lack have seeped into the deepest, most secret part of myself.
A lack.
If I don’t try to be perfect, it will mean that I am.
All I’m trying to say is that I do not want the Cancer to come back.
Therefore something must change from before.
See- I have become more logical. Thanks Robert Kiyosaki.
I’m reminded of Michael Pinto the undertaker in Bombay.
‘Grave Problems Resurrected here’
That’s so not gonna happen.
Not on my resurrection.
That’s why I’m posting from Landour. Seven thousand five hundred feet above sea level.
Or according to the Lal Tibba Binocular Complex:
‘Highest peak of mussorie from where you can see an exhilarating all around view of the Himalayan ranges through the most powerful binoculars.’
I’m in India. Posting from a higher place.
To see what I didn’t see before.
Most exhilarating view.
So this new chapter opens with a message from Aarti calling for Rado…
Oops. Dinnertime here at Landour.
More tomorrow…
Glad to see you again..
miss you so much
fan from Thailand.
I started to visit your blog after reading a write up in India today magazine…good to see you in positive spirit. and spreading positive energy to the world…hope and pray that you get well soon…
your journey to this point has been difficult. It is time to take a break from the past so you can view your future.
Holaaa, soy de Argentina, y me alegro recibir noticias tuyas, no sé inglés. Besos y Fuerza en ese lugar tan maravilloso!!.
After the day to day scramble of creating the physical healing has ended and you are left alone with your fears, anxieties and the desire to still hope, it can feel like the hardest part. Glad to see you back in touch! Your spirit remains as lovely as always.
Let’s take a break!
it’s good to know sth about you now
with love a lot 🙂
Thank you Lisa – I’m really glad you are well enough to enlighten us again with your words. I don’t want the cancer to come back either. Can we get a pic too if it isn’t too much. Thank you for coming back.
I don´t even know where to begin and I just want to tell you in the firs place that you´re one of the most wonderful, and beautiful from inside and outside person and actress that I have ever seen, Lisa. (Sorry if my english is not so good, I´m from Brazil)… And this blog of yours makes me admire you even more, your strenght is beautiful! I know that I don´t know you, but seeing all that you write, all that you say… I just wanna thank you for not just showing all the strenght and how amazing you are but helping a lot of people in this world, because I´m sure that you are helping them too with the things you say… All your fans are here for you too, like I am… admiring you and hoping that you´ll be ok, ´cause you will!!!!!!! 🙂
Sincerely,
Laura
Mmmm, India sounds good:)
Lisa!!! I’m so glad to hear your words! And I’m glad you’re up in the Himalayas watching from another perspective! I laughed loudly when I read that you’d watched all six seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm as you healed because as another ex-member of the cancer club, I was recovering from a surgery the last few weeks and was addicted to Curb Your Enthusiasm as I healed!! I haven’t made it through all six seasons, though. Anyway, I’m so happy to hear about your progress! I have had some insight (dare I call it an epiphany) in the past week that I’d love to share with you if you want. It definitely has to do with getting out of your own way! It came as visual images and then my mind put it together. My email should be attached, so if you send me a quick note to say yes, I’ll email you my insight. It would be too long to clutter this post with (not that long, but a page or so). Much love and healing to you Lisa!!! Thank you for sharing your personal journey! You’re brilliant and alive!
it is always nice to see people fighting and winning. the best thing that happened to u, now u r near to commoners. be like this. u know only the bitter side of life can make u feel the sweeter side of life. now u know, so value this. everybody showered love, now its ur turn
Hey Liz!

Falguni
I must say its really calming when you win after a difficult battle. You come out wiser than before. More mature, more sensible and more respectful for what you have.
Life gets a meaning for you. Isn’t it so. “Therefore something must change from before”…..very true…It will change.
And Thanks to you for posting …..people should learn and take life seriously and respect what they have.
Very true lines……
Rehne De asma zameen ki talash kar
zindagi hai teri kimti bahut
tu use har tarah pyar kar
Har aarzu poori ho to jeene ka kya maza,
Jeene ke liye bas ek kami talaash kar….

Congratulations! Enjoy your time in India or wherever your heart takes you, you deserve it.
What a wonderful way to start the day — a long awaited letter from my best friend away at camp. Camp soul survivor! Memories of the impatience of youth. The relief of knowing that you haven’t drowned in the lake whilst attempting water walking! Relax enjoy — your summer mornings will be many.Surf the tide of love and healing surging your way. Blog? Genius idea.
Blessings, Susan

Hello
Since our beloved Lisa has been diagnosed with MM, she has received overwhelming love from supporting fans. Because of Lisa’s incredible braveness and openness we all have had a chance to get a glimpse of what Lisa has been going through… the cancer treatment and the stem cell
transplant. Lisa has inspired so many fans that want to show their love, support and gratitude in appreciation.
Lisa is a very proud person, she doesn’t want anyone’s money or gifts even though she is deeply appreciative of the love, support and concern from fans. I know, as a fan, I felt the frustration because I just wish there is something I could do to help Lisa, even if it might be in very small way. So after long discussions and planning, we finally have a plan that will be benefit Lisa in a direct and effective way.
Many of you may already know EP is in the process to producing audio books of ICTS and TWU. And the most exciting part of that is Lisa will be the narrator. With Shamim and Hana’s generosity, Lisa will ultimately receive 50% of the profits of the sale of the audio books. Like any project there will be an investment involved. Many of you may know, even with the overwhelming responses to ICTS and TWU, EP hasn’t been able to pay off the investment because of the illegal downloading. That is why Lisa, Sheetal and Shamim have not received their share of any profits from those projects. To prevent that from happening again, we came up with this idea to help Lisa so that she could benefit from the project while she is still unemployed and still recovering from her cancer. That is our intention so that Lisa has some income while she is not working or pressured to work hard during her recovery. EP has set up the Pay Pal account to raise funds to fund the audio book project. The money will go to the 50% of Lisa’s share of the investment which will enable Lisa be able to get paid as soon as the audio books start to sell.
As we are all fans of Lisa, we want to help her and we also want to be very respectful of her wishes, because she doesn’t want any fan to send her money directly. But this plan has Lisa’s approval and blessing. Lisa will autograph a photo from the film for those who donate funds as a way to show her deep appreciation.
Here is information for PayPal account as ‘Enlightenment Press Ltd’
The email for payments is shamim@enlightenment-productions.com
Please go to PayPal.com then go to “send money” page.
EP will send each person an acknowledgement of receipt of funds once received. Those funds will be use for the cost for the recording studio time, the artwork, the implementation for digital sales, the mastering of the CD with the artwork and of course the packaging & manufacturing costs. When EP have the final budget, EP will be happy to share those costs with the fans who are donating to Lisa to be re-assured that the money was wisely spent.
Thanks,
Nairong Zong
Welcome back. 🙂 May your remission be long.
I think you can break as well as blog. Writing may be a potion to assist healing. Your prose stands out as more than words and news; it reveals a heart that must bleed some.
Your mind and spirit are traveling to extraordinary realms, more extraordinary even than Landour. That’s the scenery I see in what you write and it’s beautiful.
http://goodbloodbadblood.wordpress.com/
Lisa I am so happy to hear that you are doing well. It sounds like you are where you need to be. I can hear the calmness and peacefullness in your writing. Your Doc’s advise was wonderfull we all need a break from ourselves. In fact why not let others do the work for you. I will be praying and sending all my positive energy to you and your misbehaving cells. Relax and enjoy India!
Habibti,
“All I’m trying to say is that I do not want the Cancer to come back”…
Good decision, of course.
If you do not want it to come back, not make.
Because your not allow it.
Good decision too…
Hugs to you always,
Ximena.
Lisa, happy to find that you are back to blogging. Visted your blog every day and it was great to be rewarded with your thoughtful insights today. You are a wonderful person. Relax and enjoy the Himalayas and do give us a peek from time to time in your life. You are an inspiration to many.
“¡Salud, Dinero, y Amor!” Health, Money, & Love! The most common toast in Español, “To You, Para Lisa!!!” Let me take a tiny liberty here, to speak for a triad, Jan from West Hollywood/Torrance, a dearest who goes by “Xena” from Eagle Rock, & myself from Hollywood/Puerto Rico, 3 very yellow women, all surrounded by the mountains of Santa Mónica and Verdugo, glorious California mountains who also cradle the leader of our hue, Aida.
We want the money to flow your way. We want to read these diaries on a fisrt edition. Here’s to our dream! We are only 3 or 4 of millions more, I’m sure.
As for me, I am delighted to be part of this community in cyberspace, thank you to our brainstorm eye, Lisa.
Infinito amor, amor del que mueve montañas para/por tí. ¡Un abrazo inmenso!…
hi lisa
do read books by esther-jerry hicks, the law of attraction and ask and it is given..these books have powerful messages for everybody..
praying for your speedy recovery.
god bless.

mariam
This is my first time posting. What a great way to start my day. I was really missing you and wondering how you were. We Love you and we are here for you. You are on our hearts and minds. Can’t wait to read more from you tomorrow, your writing always takes my breath away. I want to share this song with you. It has a great message from the Queen of Salsa: Celia Cruz.
Todo aquel que piense que la vida es desigual,
tiene que saber que no es asi,
que la vida es una hermosura, hay que vivirla.
Todo aquel que piense que esta solo y que esta mal,
tiene que saber que no es asi,
que en la vida no hay nadie solo, siempre hay alguien.
Ay, no ha que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval,
es mas bello vivir cantando.
Oh, oh, oh, Ay, no hay que llorar,
que la vida es un carnaval
y las penas se van cantando.
Todo aquel que piense que la vida siempre es cruel,
tiene que saber que no es asi,
que tan solo hay momentos malos, y todo pasa.
Todo aquel que piense que esto nunca va a cambiar,
tiene que saber que no es asi,
que al mal tiempo buena cara, y todo pasa.
Ay, no ha que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval,
es mas bello vivir cantando.
Oh, oh, oh, Ay, no hay que llorar,
que la vida es un carnaval
y las penas se van cantando.
Para aquellos que se quejan tanto.
Para aquellos que solo critican.
Para aquellos que usan las armas.
Para aquellos que nos contaminan.
Para aquellos que hacen la guerra.
Para aquellos que viven pecando.
Para aquellos nos maltratan.
Para aquellos que nos contagian.
Translation:
Everyone out there that thinks that life is unfair,
Needs to know that’s not the case,
Because life is beautiful, you just have to live it.
Everyone out there that thinks they are alone and they are bad
Needs to know that’s not the case,
Because in life no one is alone, there is always someone
Ay, there’s no need to cry, because life is a carnival,
It’s more beautiful to live singing.
Oh, Ay, there’s no need to cry,
For life is a carnival
And your pains can be alleviated through song.
Everyone out there that thinks that life is always harsh,
Need to know that’s not the case,
That there are just bad times, and it will all pass.
Everyone out there, that thinks that this will never change,
Need to know that’s not the case,
The bad times will turn, it will all pass.
Ay, there’s no need to cry, because life is a carnival,
It’s more beautiful to live singing.
Oh, Ay, there’s no need to cry,
For life is a carnival
And your pains can be alleviated through song.
For those that complain forever.
For those that only criticize.
For those that use weapons.
For those that pollute us.
For those that make war.
For those that live in sin.
For those that mistreat us.
For those that make us sick.
Great to have you back Lisa, and wonderful to have you in India! And Landour is most certainly one of the most beautiful places – certainly very peaceful. Drop in at Ruskin Bond’s and say hi to him – he is a delightful host who will serve you lovely hot tea and coconut biscuits:))
dear lisarani ray,
u must visit himalayan view from ropeway,i want to meet u either in uttarakhand or in canada,pl give me yr convenient time & date ,dedicating few lines to u:
I want to help you, I want to embrace you in a hug, so you know.
I want to take away all your pains, and tears, to make you glow.
We talk and you drink, we talk and you drink.
Over and over, until you can’t even really think.
This makes me want to cry, as your slurs, turn to blurs.
Drinking to stop from thinking, all that can be wrong.
Drinking and slurring was my families favorite song.
I want to help you, I want to embrace you in a hug, so you know.
I want to take away all your pains, and tears, to make you glow.
This may seem hard for you to understand,I can’t play in your band.
I left that life thirty years ago, swearing to never be a drunk.
I have spent thirty years sleeping sober and striaght in my bunk.
I deal with all that life throws at me through knowing I am strong.
This doesn’t make me better than you, I just know that its wrong.
I want to help you, I want to embrace you in a hug, so you know.
I want to take away all your pains, and tears, to make you glow.
We have all had past experiences that hurt us to our core.
Things we wish, they never happen, or times we wished we done more.
But turning to a bottle will never change, what we refuse to see.
Tomorrow will always wake you up, reminding you, you talked to me.
Then all the problems you feel and think, lay, until you drink.
I want to help you, I want to embrace you in a hug, so you know.
I want to take away all your pains, and tears, to make you glow.
The problem with your past-time, and here within this ryhme.
Is that your drinking should be seen, like your comitting a crime.
Because its stealing away more pieces of you, everytime you drink.
Your ability to see yourself, and feel good about what you think.
You allow your pains to stay, so you have reason to drink them away.
I want to help you, I want to embrace you in a hug, so you know.
I want to take away all your pains, and tears, to make you glow.
I love you my friend, and I think you know that.
But I have no miricles to pull out of my hat.
This was all written to show you ONLY ONE SURE THING IS TRUE!
NO-ONE CAN TAKE AWAY WHAT IS YOURS, IT MUST BE DONE BY YOU
Finally, until you update
Dear lisa:) :)

I have missed you and wondering where you were. I was happy to hear from you today. Have a wonderful time in India. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
After watchin two of your films, The World Unseen and I Can’t Think Straight, i have now bought noth DVDs and got the soundtracks as a bonus!!
Anyway,
I became a huge fan of yours, it was then I read about everything you are going/have been through, tonight i read the entire blog beginning to end and was moved by your spirit and optimism, i even laughed in a couple of places and cried in others, you are talented beyond anything I have ever seen or come across before.
I wanted to tell you this as we never say the things we are meant to until its too late, you have an amazing glass half full attitude and you need to know how loved you are by me and all of yours fans, I wish you good health and my very best and deepest wishes.
I’m glad the Stem cell transplant went well and am looking forward to new movies and blogs.
You are inspiration to me and many others
Love Helen x

Dr. Galal had right and I am happy that you feel much better.
We are waiting for here always and send our love and support to you continously!
See you SOON!
With love
Kati from Hungary
thanks for coming back
You know lisaraniray, I was concerned about something in your words. Maybe its the cost of computer translation ( English – not my language)… I do not know … As far as I was able to let through your emotional state … Lisa, be careful with all sorts of spiritual practices. You – and sane people do not go too far from real life.I do not want you to go away in some kind of unreality, a kind of altered consciousness. You are loved so what you are. You – this is Lisa Ray, and not someone else. Sorry if the text has turned a bit confused, but I think you understand what I mean.
Dear Lisa,
It’s such a good feeling to read you blog again. I’m so happy that your recovery is going well. I can’t even imagine what has been going through your mind in last few months. You are such a strong and amazing person. I’ve met Shamim and Hanan last saturday in Lille and they said that you’ve never complained to them about your condition. Hats off to you Lisa! You don’t need any perfection, you are more than that. I wish I could have a chat with you and in a short time learn more about life than through my whole existance.
Duzo zdrowia i milosci!
Anna
Querida Lisa:
Estoy muy felíz por tí, porque tienes ánimo de comunicarte y porque con la fuerza de tu espíritu y la energía y el amor que te enviamos todos los que a diario pensamos en tí, tu deseo de no retorno de la enfermedad, es una realidad.
Te deseo que aquello que quieras hacer en esta nueva vida que tienes por delante, se concrete en breve y te colme de felicidad.
Con amor, desde Argentina, che.
Chau,un abrazo grande a la distancia.
Dear Lisa, Sorryfor my English. I’m a Spanish woman. I’m struggling with breast cancer for 4 years. Get all my support and my love. Neves lose hope. A big hug amd a kiss. Love Maite

Hey there girl!!!! it’s amazing that you are in the most mistical place in whole planet…..enjoy it, feel it, keep it…. do not think in the “C” word, ’cause now……you are re born Lisa, don’t see any “C” there 😛
Good to hear from you though…
Dear Lisa,
Vanakkam !! (in Tamil, a South-Indian language)
This is my first ever reply to any blog, and am so glad that it happens to be for a right cause in its first time.
The foremost thing I check in my lappie every morning is not for a msg or call from my family and friends back in India (as I am in Saudi now), but for your well being. I also check in Shamim’s blogs, as she carries news about u sometimes.
Very much excited to know that u r in India right now. Have a pleasant stay near Himalayas and enjoy its serenity..it definitely has healing qualities.
Pls do take enough rest, to get urself geared up for ur upcoming projects which we can’t wait to watch u on scree s..
No wonder u have so many people following ur blogs and wishing for your well being, as u r truly inspirational and a WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE!!
Vaazhthukkal..!! (in Tamil, again)
Love,
Jam
good luck with your goals. i wish you peace in your journey

Dear Lisa!
Glad to see you again.
I was happy to hear from you today.

Enjoy the peace and beauty of India.
I wish you good rest.

Hi Lisa
it’s so good to hear from you. yesterday I saw “I can’t think straight” and I was wondering how you are and I was even a bit worried. and today I saw that you’re back for blogging. That’s wonderful. It’s great that you’re in India, Himalaya to get another view of – I guess – everything. Just relax and enjoy!
By the way: I started laughing when I read that you saw all seasons of Curb your Enthusiasm, because I saw them, too 😉
So, as I said before: Relax, dear Lisa – no one deserves it more than you!
Yours,
Denise from Germany
(inspirational) 🙂
(Inspirational) – not sure if this got posted last time… (oops)
Yay! You’re back!
A wonderful way to complete my day, just by reading your words.
Happy to know that you’re feeling much better and that you’re enjoying India.

I like to write poems, and now I try to publish them.
From what I noticed in your interviews, you’re a simple man, humble, full of life and spiritual warmth.
I hope you can answer what I wrote to you, dear Lisa.
I wish to made an official blog for your fans from Romania! Or an official website for your fans romanian in Romania, because there is no website or blog by Romanians for the this peoples, although you’re known in Romania through your films that were successful and nominated for the Toronto Festival and others.
I wish to answer me, dear Lisa. With love and peace from Romania,Elena.

Just Be [a song on Tiesto’s album, sung by Kirsty Hawkshaw,
words and melody by Judie Tzuke
You can travel the world
But you can’t run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be
Make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
If you’re searchin for truth
You must look in the mirror
And make sense of what you can see
Just be
Just be
They say learning to love yourself
Is the first step
That you take when you want to be real
Flying on planes to exotic locations
Won’t teach you
How you really feel
Face up to the fact
That you are who you are
Nothing can change that belief
Just be
Just be
’cause now I know
It’s not so far
To where I go
The hardest part
Is inside me
I need
To just be
Just be
Just be
Just be
Just be
I was lost
And I’m still lost
But I feel so much better
’cause now I know
It’s not so far
To were I go
The hardest part
Is inside me
I need
To just be
Just be
“just start again” I had just few days to the end of my battle and “just start again” was what I heard my family my friends or anyone, are not able to believe but I’m here is the only I know and this is very important to me.
“I dont worry about tomorrow I just try to live today” My mother says this every day for me. I dont think she tries to live intensely “today” I think she’s afraid of “tomorrow” and she cant recognize it. She’s mad with me only because during the short time of my life I decided to do things for myself , I dont do anything wrong, I just want to live and know the cultures, learn languages, eat different foods … without regard the race, colors and even the religion, I tell her “I have no religion” I’m free and that what guides me is the strength, the optimism,the courage and “believing in me” that I’m able that I not come here for nothing … there is a reason to all. I dont know what is the true path but I’m looking for “love all things” smiling, playing, singing, dancing, doing good things, help people, but if this bother someone I’m sorry I’m just living something called life.
I’m 21 years old and within 2 months I’ll be living alone (well with my dog Billy) in a small flat in Neauchatel in Switzerland to learn French and take some new phase of my life I think this also makes my mother very angry with me as she is many miles away … Lol
With all this nonsense I just wanted to say that you are a strong woman a “superwoman” who is capable of anything, dont let your inner collapse ever.
Your sense of humor makes me happy!!
NEVER STOP FIGHTING LISA!
KAROLINNE
It’s good that you are back.
Really made my day!
Have fun in India

xxx 🙂
Our Dearest Lisa,
My heart expanded ten times and my eyes widen in delight when I saw that you have a new post in your blog. It just feels sooo amazing to hear from you!!
We have been patiently waiting for your return and it feels like I’ve been reunited with a Love one whom I haven’t seen for the longest of time…
It is wonderful to know that you are writing from a higher place… not just literally but metaphorically…
The thing is, You are always coming from a “High Place” regardless of what you were going through ever since.
In whatever you are sharing, you always managed to shed Light, Inspiration and you have given us so much more than you can imagine…
Without you knowing it, you also lifted us up to be in a different altitude and attitude in Life.
You are a great blueprint to follow in Life and in Love. Thank you for your stewardship.
I deeply pray that whatever made your Heart heavy has already softened and has rejuvenated into something that gives you that Lightness in your Being.
Maybe you are created in this lifetime to forge a way about “re-birth” after the small-c… so people can take a cue and follow your path…
In your resurrection, there is no way but up. It’s the Law of Nature…
You have valiantly put up with a lot of things from the other side of the pole and you have managed to come to the other side Stronger, Braver and Enlighten-ly Beautiful than ever before with all those things that you have learned in your journeys.
All those glorious things that you have become through the major changes in your Life, nothing can take that away from you, not even threats of “grave problems”…
I absolutely agree that “something must change from before”… and I am even taking it as a piece of advice for myself.
I deeply Believe this with all my heart:
Its time for things to get better and It’s happening NOW.
Time and time again, You are always capable of Being the Person you wanted to be.
Now even more so… because you have a different Life-force within you now.
You have transcended a lot of challenges and I’m utterly sure that you will always do so.
I/WE Believe in you.
Sweetie, Do keep yourself warm and cozy there in Landour, and May Happy thoughts flow from all vistas and directions.
It’s a joy being a part of your world and journeys,
–Nerissa
PS:
“Rich Dad Poor Dad” is one of those landmark books that changed my view in Life and goal-settings… it’s just so nice to know that you have read it too 🙂 😉
Hey ……..my Angel, welcome back, thanks for sharing again , we all miss you . take care and have a good rest ya! bless….

Que maravilha saber que vc está bem!
Aqui no Brasil dizemos que:
“quem sabe o que quer e onde quer chegar, escolhe o caminho certo e o jeito de caminhar”
Boa sorte em sua nova caminhada Lisa.
God Bless You Lisa!
…Dawn
It is always great to see a new post from you!
I wish you all the best!!!! And yes, “take a break”
Enjoy your time!!!
Til next time………….
Protocol for a rebirth – well, I’m certainly not an expert on that subject as I’m definitely still a “work in progress.” I once read that “life is just a textbook of learning played out on the stage of this world.” And, that each journey starts with a single step. I’ve found that worrying about the future causes so much anxiety (for me) it’s safer to focus on the here and now. Meditation, exercise, yoga and affirmations are also healing. I’m so glad to hear that you are back on the road to recovery! I want to wish you the very best! And, I hope that Landour offers the kind of peace, healing, growth and time for introspection that I get from my visits to Sedona.
I’ll leave this post from one of my favorite writers who had a wonderful sense of humor – Erma Bombeck
If I Had My Life To Live Over!
Written by Erma Bombeck after she found out she had less than 6 months to live…
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the “good” living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching TV – and more while watching life.
I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn’t show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, “Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.”
There would have been more “I love you’s”…more “I’m sorry’s”…
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute…look at it and really see it…live it…and never give it back.
Erma Bombeck
🙂 Baaby Doll, so you are back. Looks like you get emotionally attached to everything (but cancer?). Anyways, take it easy babe. This world is truly a better place with you in it (for at least all of us here). More peace and happyness to you sweetum!
luv luv luv and an extra luv 😉 just cuz its been so long. tc
Miss you, Liz. Happy to read your blogs!!!
sorry lisa ,I didn’t know it yet .now I get it
at last…. you’re back.. i check on my email from time to time to see if you’ve updated your blog.. and its been a while… and i got worried… really worried…. as if we knew each other to have this much concern… then i realized, its possible to feel concerned and worried toward others who doesnt even know you… i have you in my prayers when i go to church and before i go to bed as if you’re one of my loved ones.. and even if you dont know me, i consider you a loved one, a friend… a perfect stranger i care about.. and it makes me happy that you’re back… i thank Him for giving you such strength and faith.. and the courage to inspire others despite of the battle you’re in… no doubt it is a battle, but one happy battle… stay beautiful… take care and God bless…
Hola Lisa,
Que alegría escuchar de su vida, sabía en mi corazón que se estaba recuperando y con la gracia de Dios así se mantendrá
Estoy muy deacuerdo con usted que la vida hay que evaluarla constantemente, para que los afanes del que hacer y nuestras perfecciones no nos la roben sin darnos cuenta.
El pararnos frente a limites que parecen abismos para nosotros, nos hace pensar con más sabiduria ante la realidad fugaz y corta de la vida.
Que bueno que quiera cambiar muchas cosas de antes, que bueno que esté descansando y viviendo lo más sencillo de un hermoso día con los familiares y amigos, que rico descubrir que para ser feliz no se requiere ser un super héroe, ni de tener el mundo entero a los pies. Que rico encontrar lo esencial en el amor y en el amar.
En el querer y dejarse querer, en el vivir con responsabilidad, sin ser esclavo, ni dejarse absorber por nada.
Reciba un fuerte abrazo desde aquí, con mis mejores deseos de felicidad para ustedes, que siga disfrutando.
Y como otra forma de conocer y disfrutar el mundo es por lo que nos cuentan los demás, le comparto estos videos de mi país, para que vea la cara hermosa y fascinante que muy pocos conocen y disfrutan. Y si algún día se atreve y puede venir por estas tierras, bienvenida, quiero que sepa que tiene una hermana en la distancia con las puertas abiertas.
Colombia es un país riquisimo en diversidad y recursos naturales, se encuentra toda clase de manjares en frutas verduras y comidas, climas, culturas y acentos.
La gente es muy solidaria, amable y acogedora. Y aunque es verdad que la violencia nos ha causado mucho dolor y pérdidas, no nos ha quitado la fuerza para luchar, persevar y soñar.
Tenemos un lugar maravilloso donde vivir, tan rico y perfecto que unos pocos se lo quieren quedar. pero Como decimos por aquí, los buenos somos más. y esto está cambiando, por lo menos desde hace aproximadamete 7 años, con nuestro actual presidente se ha recuperado mucho la seguridad, y ya podemos viajar y disfrutar con mucha tranquilidad. Hay mucha dificultad economica y pobreza, como en muchas partes, pero no paramos de luchar y “rebuscar”.
Si algun día puede conocerlo no quedará defraudada, se lo garantizo.
No quiero ofender a nadie con mi patriotismo, es que hay que amar lo que se tiene y donde se vive para gozarlo, respetarlo y cuidarlo.
Yo se que en todas partes de nuestra tierra querida hay lugares y personas maravillosas, privilegiados de tenerlos, de hecho tengo amigos de varios paises a los que valoro y quiero muchisimo. ¡Gracias a Dios por tan grandes regalos!
Todos estan cordialmente invitados a estas hermosas tierras Colombianas, y si conocen a algún Colombiano o colombiana en sus paises queridos no le tengan miedo; que por 1 que hace mal hay 100000 que hacen mucho bien.
Les adjunto una canción aunque está en español les ratifica esta invitación y otros videos que intentan mostrar otra cara de Colombia ante el mundo.
Un fuerte abrazo.
good to hear that you are back to business…..saluting your fighting spirit as well as best wishes for a very very happy beleated womens day…………….god bless you forever…….
Dear Lisa the feisty fighter,
Welcome back!! Your words have so much depth, they are making me aware of vacuums i never realized i had within me.
We are SO lucky to be able to learn from your experiences without going through your struggles ourselves.
Heal well…and God bless your rebirth. With love and a salute to your spirit, Sangeeta
Only response to that long overdue blog……you have arrived, enjoy your stay! Cheers Lisa:)
Glad to hear from you again. I’ve been waiting to see you back. Your courage in the midst of this fight inspires me. I was able to watch one of your interviews where you said that whatever you are going through is a GIFT. I was humbled and touched by how you viewed this trial. Shame on me for complaining and feeling like I lost so much when all the while my problems are nothing compared to what you are going through.
As you continue to fight this battle, I pray that you would find the real light that would shine your path every moment of your life… the light of Jesus Christ. You may not know me, but I just want you to know that I came to admire you after watching some of your films, and more so when I learned of your illness and how courageously you are coping and dealing with it. I will pray for you, for your recovery and praying that you would truly find the purpose in life and be genuinely happy.
Take care and God Bless you!
Thank you so much for the update. I am thinking of you in India and pray that in that high place where you are writing from you may be filled with peace and healing light.
Lisa,
Glad you’re back online.
Keyword”s”: Acceptance in all the things that has been. That is and that is will be. Be part of the experience and let your inner peace transpire out. Nothing can harm us all.

Hello
Since our beloved Lisa has been diagnosed with MM, she has received overwhelming love from supporting fans. Because of Lisa’s incredible braveness and openness we all have had a chance to get a glimpse of what Lisa has been going through… the cancer treatment and the stem cell
transplant. Lisa has inspired so many fans that want to show their love, support and gratitude in appreciation.
Lisa is a very proud person, she doesn’t want anyone’s money or gifts even though she is deeply appreciative of the love, support and concern from fans. I know, as a fan, I felt the frustration because I just wish there is something I could do to help Lisa, even if it might be in very small way. So after long discussions and planning, we finally have a plan that will be benefit Lisa in a direct and effective way.
Many of you may already know EP is in the process to producing audio books of ICTS and TWU. And the most exciting part of that is Lisa will be the narrator. With Shamim and Hana’s generosity, Lisa will ultimately receive 50% of the profits of the sale of the audio books. Like any project there will be an investment involved. Many of you may know, even with the overwhelming responses to ICTS and TWU, EP hasn’t been able to pay off the investment because of the illegal downloading. That is why Lisa, Sheetal and Shamim have not received their share of any profits from those projects. To prevent that from happening again, we came up with this idea to help Lisa so that she could benefit from the project while she is still unemployed and still recovering from her cancer. That is our intention so that Lisa has some income while she is not working or pressured to work hard during her recovery. EP has set up the Pay Pal account to raise funds to fund the audio book project. The money will go to the 50% of Lisa’s share of the investment which will enable Lisa be able to get paid as soon as the audio books start to sell.
As we are all fans of Lisa, we want to help her and we also want to be very respectful of her wishes, because she doesn’t want any fan to send her money directly. But this plan has Lisa’s approval and blessing. Lisa will autograph a photo from the film for those who donate funds as a way to show her deep appreciation.
Here is information for PayPal account as ‘Enlightenment Press Ltd’
The email for payments is shamim@enlightenment-productions.com
Please go to PayPal.com then go to “send money” page.
EP will send each person an acknowledgement of receipt of funds once received. Those funds will be use for the cost for the recording studio time, the artwork, the implementation for digital sales, the mastering of the CD with the artwork and of course the packaging & manufacturing costs. When EP have the final budget, EP will be happy to share those costs with the fans who are donating to Lisa to be re-assured that the money was wisely spent.
Thanks,
Nairong Zong
lisa ray,

Try taking up photography for a change. =)
Start taking pictures of rural areas or of landscapes to divert your attention. =))
Trust me, you will feel GREAT at the end of the day!! 😀
Dear Lisa,
Your courage has transcended races and cultural difference.
Your wits has electrocuted boredom with defiance.
Here is a song I would like to share with you,
(tried to translated into English….be bear with me ;-))
It is composed and created by an Indigenous singer from Bunun tribe in Taiwan, there is amajor flood disaster happened on the 8th August here, despite the deep sorrow and sadness over lost homeland and souls, this song brought comfort and peace in our hearts.
Life is so beautiful, never stop fighting.
Blessings,
u.
Moolight –Lyric and Composed by Biung, sang with Bunun language
Ana tupa tu uka mita mahtu sinadan
Asa kata tu malinaskal aupa aizag a buan
Ana tupa tu uka mita mahtu kanadan
Asa kata tu malisvala aupa aizag a bunun
I sia mita tu is-ag maza mastan kaisal bun
Adu aiza sipu-gulun mita tu is-ag
Mais sadu kata buan maza mita iliskinan
Mailian-tagus naitia tu sin-hasam
Adu aldikusun nin ta
Moonlight
Despite the loss of strength we count on, the tranquility of moon contents us with happiness.
Despite the lost trace of context we yearn for, the scent of desire comforts us with great solace.
Deep in your heart, reminiscence dwelt.
Deep in your heart, remembrance subsided.
Are you still touched, by enchanting moon illuminated the night sky?
The ancient wisdom for the soul, is it still in your heart?
月光 王宏恩
雖然失去了依靠,我們仍要感到快樂
因為我們還有月亮
雖然失去了立足的地方,我們仍要感到安慰
因為我們仍有企盼
在你的心中,依舊在意什麼
在你的心中,已然遺忘什麼
當你抬頭看著月亮,是否還有感動?
祖先說過的話,是否還在你的心中?
Here is the link:
You are closer to the truth—-you live in the light while the rest of us shmucks crawl along as usual in the muck. Pray for us. You have touched us with your radiance forever.
Good on you Lisa Ray! You are taking the first steps toward true recovery. I believe that everything must come from within, and within, your body spoke to you and said, “let’s take action. Let’s seize the moment. Each moment as it gifts itself to us.” It is all anyone can do. life is a special gift. We should mold and mend and bend and shape and embrace it. No one knows how long one has to take in all that whirls about us, and so young in your life, you have touched so many in such a such a bold, powerful and endearing way; And that’s just through your craft. Your bravery, too, has not gone unnoticed. When one has the strength to stand up to the challenge of life threatening illness and disease, they are the bravest of us all. The only “war” that’s truly personal and necessary to fight.
Life is not a dress rehearsal, and you are perfect. You are the only “perfect you” in this uni or even multiverse. An elderly Buddhist woman once said to me years ago, “Always do what makes your heart sing”. I always pass this message on.
I send you, bright yellow streams of healing energy, and continuous OM. In peace, love, and light…. Trélys
just a fan, wish you a faster recovery, and hats off to you for your determination. I pray to God for your excellent health and I am sure you will be living healthy life for many more years….
With lots of Love
Parry
PS: Request you to keep on writing blog whenever you get time, that will help many ways..
Just watch tons of Tom n Jerry girl. There r no better doctors than those too!! Laugh your guts out…and if you must……die laughing….

good morning,lisa~have good day`
Dear Lisa,
Nice to read your blog, after too a long time. Nice to hear from you that you are in India.
I had been to mussorie quite a long ago. It is the best place among all the hill stations of India. Enjoy being there.
But, don’t forget to visit Gokul, Vrindavan, and Mathura, where Lord Krsna used to live. You will surely feel His devine presence there.
Ofcourse, He is all pervading. There is no place in this universe where He is not present. But Gokul, Vrindavan, and Mathura have special importance, because Krsna lived there as a personality. He played His flute there as a cowboy; He performed so many wonderful lilas there.
And, you are currently not much far away from these places.
Here is a video from the TV serial “Sri Krsna”. See the beauty of Lord Krsna and Ma Yashoda:
Love,
Nikhil
All the loss is so painful and the mining for ‘lacks’ terrifying, but the writing is transformative and is illuminating the beauty in the imperfections. Thank you Lisa for sharing your heart-vision and your insight.

Hi Lisa, welcome back. It’s so good that you have come this far and to recognize that you can’t continue towards good living unless you take care of you before anyone else, like we who have so wanted to hear directly from you. I celebrate your life and your journey, thank you for sharing.

You have done much to reach the mountain top…enjoy the view and may your spirit soar.

HELLO MY EMERALD-EYED !!!
“It’s like you have thrown a pebble into the lake, now you only need to set an intention and watch the ripples”
I said to you before,The water carries all kinds of feelings. Yes, when you thrown a pebble in the lake, you will see some ripples. But repples can move according to the size of pebble.
Not only you see, when you thrown a pebble some ripples. sound moves water,When you yell over the water you can see some vibrations. This is the energy of this sound. Why I said this one. Because I sent a drawing for you ıf it doesnt received to you I think it will go down in the lake. One day, when you look the ripples ıf you see much more ripples you can understand I send a heart has reached to you.and it is talking with her imagine friend.
What is it telling? I dont know If you listen it you can hear ….twitgoo.com/k45k4 ,http://twitgoo.com/fyz9f

Hey Lisaaah you’re back. Great to hear from you!!
I recognize you’re feeling. Once you’re ‘cured’ things really become difficult, cause now you’ve got time to think more about youreself and not so much about being ill. Most people go very deep after a long time of fighting an illness. They find out who they really are. This is the part where you really become you.
It’s a smart move to get out of you’re old situation, and leave that place for a while to concentrate about youreself and you’re loved ones.
There are no flawless people and if there are I think they would be boring. I think flaws make people perfect and charming, just the way they are.
Take care love!
Kind regards Nicolle (the Netherands)
Lisa, dont worry, with that sharp, beautiful mind of yours and with that special poetic way of thinking and Living your life, you Will do just fine, and probably better than just fine… One Day at the time. Live, love and enjoy!
Dearest Lisa
Sending you so much healing and peace through the ether. May you be blessed with courage, calm and joy.
Thank You for your grace and inspiration
With Love
Alexia 🙂
We read and we post because we each have been touched by your story…blogging, I’m sure, is a cathartic and we are privileged to be part of it in some small way…but it is your journey and we are just spectators…we have no right to demand anything more…
Disease can become all consuming…sit atop your higher view and see the beauty…imperfections and all.
I hope you find what you are looking for. And I’m sure you will. Stay strong and heal.
I’ve never known a more passionate and braver woman..she who finds courage to face the darkness and focus in the light..It’s not a battle against cancer, it’s a process of appreciating life more and finding a deeper meaning to it..your inner beauty radiates to the outside you..Your family must be very proud..:-)
Venezuela, 10/03/2010, good morning Lisa, Have a nice day…, NEVER STOP WRITTING ON YOUR BLOG…
Dear Lisa
Has congratulated, saw once more you write the article, must very much take care your body, thanks.
加油~加油~

Your heart seems heavy….
Do you remember what it was like to be a child? When you were little and you held your poppa’s hand to cross the road, how you used to skip down the street in the sunlight glad it was summer holidays, and whooped with excitement at sight of first snow, giggling uncontrollably with friends? Remember the delight of finding out something new, feeling proud of yourself when you did something clever and your parents were proud, the first time you burnt your finger and the comfort afterwards from someone close?
Life is all about discovery, outwards and inwards, and we need to keep on discovering life in order to live.
Find your inner child – look at her, laugh with her, cry with, be in awe of starry nights and howling winds with her. Comfort the child within you, nourish her, give her all that she needs, and most of all, love her and reassure her that you are there, and it is all right.
Hello Lisa, first of all excuse my bad English …. here in Italy there is a time just as bad …. snow, snow, snow, I also have the brain of snow, my neurons take the skilift all day. I’m glad you’re feeling better, and even though I know you feel very positive … .. and then we women have ways of reaction times and absolutely wonderful. Men have a threshold of endurance of suffering so low that if you bang your elbow against a corner do not feel the quake struck, but they fall! And then they complain when we do the epidural to give birth and they would do the anesthesia for shaving! Well ….
Lisa continues like this … …
Catia, Italy
WOW! Nice to hear from you and it’s great to know that you are doing very well. Keep it up! =)
When you have time, watch the movie The Secret. It might help you. Then apply the Law of Attraction and Law of Detachment to your life. I haven’t mastered it but it would take a lot of practice to do it.
Watch the movie!
Take care always!
God Bless! =)
Yipee!
Dear Lisa,
You sure do deserve time and space.
You deserve a break- a refreshing, pleasant, invigorating break.
You do not need to be perfect. Just be yourself.
I just want you to be happy.

Hi Lisa~
Have a good time in India . I’m so glad you comeback here.
Take care~
LISA
hi, It is the first time that i write(im not very good in english- neither expressing in Spanish) but i`ll try…
i really admire the stronge and the courage to pass this like like you do it…is more pressure, no?
i´m sure you will recover..
I like what I write..and just want said is that for me, perfection is in the union of all our imperfections … therefore it is better to be accompanied by those we love…for that we not be perfect…that`s make you special…
and if we have a plan We must have high aspirations, moderate expectations and small needs….i like that…
you have a second chance, that makes you want to do everything now…just smile you have this second chance.. you have new eyes…maybe, if you close your eyes you’ll SEE and hears everything, also enjoy the silence… and you’ll know where to go and how…or simply create your world and ha … Take refuge there works for me jaja…
I am speaking out sucks only hope it is understood what I meant…
the mum of my best friend she was diagnosed with cancer…The doctors said that the treatment would give him time alone anything else … but she only believed and wanted more time with his family … after 15 years … does not have cancer but it took 15 years but never lost faith or strength
You dont have idea of the joy radiates that woman…
just dont lose the faith, the strength and be the joy…
is better im finish…becouse im get lose and i dont get anywhere
hugs and kisses
HI PRINCESS
THANK YOU PRINCESS
I’M VERY HAPPY TO KNOW YOU ARE BETTER KNOW
AND VERY HAPPY YOU ARE BACK
YOU ARE AMAZING PRINCESS
TAKE CARE AND HAVE A NICE DAY
HAVE A NICE TOMORROW AND FOREVER
Hi Lisa
I just chanced upon your blog. Good to see you take up the fight. Thats what I can say as a fellow fighter. You sum up everything I myself have experienced. I know, the pain follows you just like your shadow.. But to tell you the truth you realize the meaning of Life…
光 – Hikari (Japanese for Light) Let it guide you through this journey…
Hope and pray that you will get well soon.
Hi Lisa,
Good to hear you’re doing so well! Yay!
I had been checking in once in a while, only to find you hadn’t written anything in a long time. I want you to know that I, like most, was more concerned with whether you were all right or not, not upset you hadn’t written anything.
Just keep doing what you’re doing. Going from fighting to healing is a huge transition, and it takes gentleness a a soft kind of love to do it.
Be good to you!
Rhonda
Thank you . . . for being so giving as to continuing to share your personal struggles and feats with your unenviable disease. You are an extremely courageous, beautiful woman who has challenged many, including myself to delve emotionally and spiritually further to find resolve with whether there is anything else holding more weight and value in life other than what simply is life.
Hello, Nerissa!
Can’t help writing to you to say that no one here can express our feelings and thoughts better than you. Sometimes it’s very hard to formulate the ideas and convey emotions with the help of the words when there’s no chance of looking a person into the eye or touching. But that doesn’t mean that these feelings are less deep or intense. I’m not a person to agree completely with someone’s point of view (some sort of critically-minded and not susceptible to melodramatic effects), but this time I completely share your view. Thank you from all of us who are short of the words to express our love and gratitude to Lisa. Hope, she will read it. Thanks.
Since I discovered your art, your personality that come across the screen, the settle gestures that you would pose in your acting that pierce the image. I have been hearing your voice, in a sort even mystical way I would say in a connection that brings me to write to you as if pretentiously I have known you or know you…Your last post struck me as it speaks directly to me in so many ways & the timing of it not a coincidence but a message as I interpret …your courage, your determination, the light I feel that resonates from your soul beyond boundaries or confinement of time nor space is a true vision of the power of your internal freedom that has no limits in facing any adversities. How to take a break, how to changes the lenses by which we have perceived our journey for sometime or ourselves, by stretching even more the mysterious, infinite never ending capacities that we have internally to bring us closer to a shore yet familiar but renewed & transformed to “beginnings”…Yes we rewrite many versions of new scripts, we decide to change the ending, to reshape it, to wear different colors,
You are not only a fiery inspiration, or a remarkable figure to admire or respect profoundly, you are a source that links the very core of the visible life to the invisible realm that governs the universe… I send you all Yellow flowers, transparent water in which each molecule is unpredictable , I send you the passionate red soil of South Africa that long ago had settled never to surrender,I send you the high mountain on which stands a lighthouse near the sea of Senegal, I send you all the echoes of glorious history long the Nile,
All the waves of the pacific ocean & Mediterranean sea& all the laughter of free kids running barefoot under the first breeze of summer, with all the euphoria that makes everything an eternal happening always
Dear Lisa,
it’s a relief you’re here, great as always, special as ever. As only you can be.
But you see, you have no commitments to write here, especially if you have no strength or wish to do it.
Well, I have an idea! Start a new blog not associated with the disease, as you’re now starting a new life. Let it forget about you. Share your impressions of the books read, films watched, ideas come into your mind. We’ll accept everything you do as a precious gift from Lisa Ray.
Thank you for every your word, for every your step in this life, for light you radiate. And for changing my attitude to this world and to this life. Thank you so much.
Thank you for posting. It’s good to know how you’re doing. I forwarded your post to my friend – the one in Barbados who also just finished her stem cell and is now back home, feeling I think almost the same way you are. Anyway – she just wrote me back to say it was extremely timely and that she needed it today. So thank you.
YOU SHOULD WRITE A BOOK!
(not just right now, of course… but than again, why not now?)
Anyway, you should really write a book, to do as you said: “make visible what wasn’t before” (Now, that’s a “be the change you want to see in the World” type of plan that would make Gandhi himself proud!).
But seriously, if with one single text you screamed at me about honesty; made me look at my own lacks and at my need to separate real from imaginary problems; not to mention infused a great desire for me to stop being a crazy perfectionist and try to find my perfection beyond perfection… What would you make me think in 100 pages? (Bit scared now, must confess!)
Fact is that what you say is SO REAL that it reverberates in a deep hidden indescribable level. Your healing, your rebirth is dragging many along the way! And (no pressure here, promise!) as Saint-Exupéry said in The Little Prince: “Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as apprivoisé” (you become responsible for those you tame).
SO, my opinion is that YOU SHOULD WRITE A BOOK! And in the meantime act with special kindness towards yourself, as shedding light in path to resurrection requires no other attitude.
I’ll keep cheering for you to do even better in the healing than you did in the crisis! And I’ll be waiting for that book! Kind wishes!
Lisa!!! So good to hear from you again on the blog. You have big fans here in Chicago. Closer to sea level than where you are now, but just as beautiful… especially in the summer. We have been sending you light and positive energy since we were first introduced to you several months ago via a couple of your recent films. Know that you are loved and supported. Friends are everywhere. Enjoy your journey, and we look forward to hearing more.
It makes me cry with inner joy reading some comments. We are definitely changing our own world through every single words that are being written by everyone.
Wanna thank you all for sharing every bit of it and of course to Lisa whose tying all the know for us.
I think it’s a great idea to start a new chapter in Lisa’s blogging (not that there is something wrong with it). Everyone acknowledged the presence of cancer and how it transformed not only Lisa, but also her supporters’ lives. Now it is time to move on from that phase to a rebirth/new life/transformation/ascension.
Such a wonderful feeling to come to realize change in each one of us.
BRAVO!
please join: lisaraniray.forumotion.com
Thinkng of energy… If we could only collect all the energy which accumulates when each of us thinks about you, it could devastatingly win a victory over that C-thing… So guys, decide how do we do this? Lisa, wish you could feel how HUGE it is!
Lisa Sweetie Girl,
I hope the cranial sacral therapy helps. I’m sorry you are going through this bullshit. I have always believed that all people are entitled to perfect health. Well if I had my own planet all would be well, but here on Earth it ain’t that way. A friend of mine has colon/anal cancer and is going thru chemo right now. Shit ,2 years ago on her 60th birthday we went canoeing. My friend was sexy and beautiful with long dark thick hair. She was more fit at 60 then I am at 48 but then she got whacked with this cancer thing. I wish I could take the brighest minds into a secret lab somewhere like a deep cave and find a cure for this crazy cancer. The body should not have these cells that rebel and cause havoc, it goes against nature and life.
A good thing I guess is that you still are beautiful with your shaved head. Be glad you head isn’t shaped like a edd, then you’d be an egghead.
Sweet Lisa, be well, you are entitled to be well. All the Great Goddesses want you to be well. Every atom is rooting for you. You still have lots of movies to star in. They beckon you.
I will ask the 3 Fates to send you healing energy and ask all the Great Goddesses to assist you in being cured once and for all.
J…
Lisa,
I bet your eyesight is better than mine, because egg is not spelled edd is it?
My glasses aren’t cutting it these days….
Jo
Hello Lisa,
It’s really good to hear from you on the progress of the stem cell treatments. I can’t imagine what you have endured but know you have an incredible strength. I keep you in my thoughts and continue to watch your wonderful movies. Sending you positive energy and hoping you are back to making great films soon.
God Bless

Lisa ,
Of mcours u have to take a break from mthe Cancer, and we don’t need to read about Cancer we just need to know that you are still with us.
Venezuela, 10/03/2010. 8:45pm good night lisa!!! At this time you should be sleeping, Have a wonderful dream… Se te admira mucho.
Wow, its great to hear that your okay! Inshallah your recovery will be quick and well. I just wanted to share something with you that happened today and I really hope you read this. Today, me and a couple my friends decided to take a road trip to Toronto (we live in London 2 hours away) and on the way we were just talking about famous people and our feelings towards them and my friend asked me, ” Aya who’s you favorite actor” the first thing that pops into my head is you, Lisa Ray, but of course my lovely white friends didn’t know who you are so I told them. Man, as I was telling how beautiful you are both on the inside out and all you have been through, I realized that since I was little child I have always looked up too the wrong actors, its not about how many movies your in or weather they make millions, nope its about the talent and the heart that does into the movie. Yup, that what I see when I watch your movies, and that’s what make you my role model and my dream is to one day meet you but I know your busy making the world a better place! Ahah that was kinda corny! also, its my first year university and wow I hate it I have no motivation but you proven there’s hope yet;)
Good luck with everything! ❤
We miss you Lisa ray! Think positive thoughts in every steps, decisions you make……………welcome back!!
love you so much !!
I have a lot of work, but… have drawn my attention your words, your judgments, charged density, Lisa.
During this day I remember what I read several times, I was mobilized to think, and I could not stay quiet to expose a devolution.
I respect very much the process of sick people: needs care, evaluations, treatments, change of plans… reserved diagnosis, pain, fears, uncertainty, …presences… absences,
In short periods of time live intensely and it takes time to decode what happened soul.
“It’s like you have thrown a pebble into the lake, now you only need to set an intention and watch the ripples”…” Cause the heart is not simply suspended in a body”
Despite has been submitted fighting as a soldier, the person is vulnerable.
We should not pretend (pretender) anything of Lisa. I mean:We should care what we say.
Recover health …to rearrange mind, contain the heart, redefine live… that is the real work now. Lisa says: “picking up the pieces”, “rebirth”…
And then she says:
“I want to make visible what wasn’t before”… “To see what I didn’t see before”…Borges…
“From making lists to vaulting over myself to achieve, these manifestations of a lack have seeped into the deepest, most secret part of myself”.
The disease causes the crisis of belief, on which we didn’t doubt before,
I know that some people need to understand what is happening … is an understanding that goes beyond reason…
Why we sick?…
The disease is part of the weft which is the story of the life. The experiences, including illness and disease, sculpt our brain circuits. The disease is integrated into the biography of the person, weaving the character and destiny. Disease symbolizes, expresses the vicissitudes of time a person goes through … They occur instead of feeling that they believed necessary to override.There is a specific biographical significance in the disease that have, there is a specific life drama…
Lisa needs a break… but her illness has been a break in her life.Seek deep answers…that’s the question!
______
[Tengo mucho trabajo, pero tus palabras y sentencias cargadas de densidad han captado mi atención, Lisa. Durante este dia recordé varias veces lo que leí, me movilizó a pensar, y no puedo estar tranquila hasta hacer una devolución.
Respeto mucho los procesos de enfermedad de las personas: necesitan cuidados, estudios, tratamientos, hay cambio de planes…diagnósticos reservados, dolor, miedos, incertidumbre…presencias…ausencias…Viven intensamente en un breve período de tiempo, y toma un tiempo hasta que el alma decodifica lo que ha sucedido. A pesar de haber presentado batalla como un soldado, la persona se encuentra vulnerable. No deberíamos pretender nada de Lisa. Quiero decir, deberíamos cuidar lo que decimos. Recobrar la salud, reordenar la mente, contener el corazón, redefinir la vida…este es el verdadero trabajo ahora.
La enfermedad provoca una crisis en las creencias, en las que antes no hubiéramos dudado.
Sé que hay personas que necesitan comprender lo que les esta pasando…es una comprensión que va mas allá de la razón. La enfermedad se integra a la biografía de la persona, entretejiendo su carácter y destino. ¿Por qué enfermamos? La enfermedad es una parte de la trama que constituye la historia de vida. Las experiencias, incluyendo el estar enfermo y la enfermedad, esculpen los circuitos de nuestro cerebro. La enfermedad simboliza, expresa las vicisitudes del momento que atraviesa la persona…y ocurren en lugar de los sentimientos que creían necesario ignorar. Hay un significado biográfico específico en la enfermedad que se padece, es un drama vital específico.
Lisa necesita un break, pero la enfermedad ha sido un break en su vida.Buscar respuestas profundas, esa es la cuestión!]
Hi Lisa,
Great to hear from you!!
Hope you enjoy Landour.

Dearest Lisa,
I felt a shiver down my spine when I read this:
All the soarings of my mind begin in my blood.
— Rainer Maria Rilke
I feel that it pretty much hit the nail in terms of the litmus tests that Life has given you and how you are rebooted on the other side as a Mighty Force to reckon with.
I like to think that the journey is its own reward…but those dark times brought out the very best in you and in our eyes, we see the Legend you have become.
Do take all the rest that you need for the heart must pause to breathe…
You richly deserve it.
May everything around you add enchantment and May pearls of melodies soothe the chords in your Heart.
Despite the continents between us…
Everyday I feel your Beautiful Spirit,
— Nerissa
Wow, Lisa is surrounded by people with sense of depth in every aspect. =)
Nice one Nerissa, you are one of the reasons why I am proud to be a Filipino!
Welcome Back Lisa!
“Tough times don’t last, but tough people do!”
Hola,
Estoy de acuerdo que hay que cuidar las palabras, porque con tantas “admiraciones como modelo e idolo” se le puede pedir a LIsa saberlo vivir y manejar todo, estar siempre Bien, fuerte, perfecta… y ella es un ser humano; con sus luchas, y sus caidas, con su fuerza y su cansancio, con su alegría y tiene derecho a su tristeza, a su no poder, a el desanimo y al cansancio, y ya es suficiente con querer seguir el camino, su camino, y no el de nadie más que la quiera comprometer poniendola como el bastón, el modelo la ispiración de su vida.
Es verdad que nos alegramos inmensamente por ella, la acompañamos desinteresadamente, la apoyamos y unimos nuestras oraciones y creencias por su bienestar, la admiramos por su seguir, aunque existan derrotas, pero no le podemos exigir que lo sepa vivir y afrontar todo, le estariamos poniendo una carga más de perfección, por no querer defraudar en algun momento a muchas personas.
Es un momento sumamente profundo y personal, pensar en ella, estoy deacuerdo.
Miriam yaneth
We love you and glad to hear that you are doing better. But seriously you should rest and take it easy!
Best wishes from a fan of you and the whole crew of ICTS and TWU.
Hi; Lisa
I not excellent English,write donot be , I want to be the will gives you fights with the disease,
I will follow your news from the websife,
forget tell go to,I am a thai,stay in thailand, you know?
bye…
i must admit that i don’t have the slightest idea on what you are feeling right at this moment, but do know that my prayers will keep pouring in for you. although you don’t know me, i know you’ve touched my life with every word you write in this blog.
Oh dear… Thanks Elena!!
You just lighten up my day and shine much needed warmth…
Your compliments are too big for me to accept… but make no mistake my cheeks are flush with gratitude, Thank you.
You have no idea how such words gives me some sort of redemption…
When I was just starting to work in the film industry (more than 10 years ago), there was this director who told me that “BUT you are not a writer”…
That sucks big time and it took a long time before I got over that.
I took my cue from Woody Allen who failed his English class and yet worked diligently to become one of the most enduring writer/director in film history.
I said these things because I was sloppy before at expressing written thoughts (I love the art of the spoken word more) and it wasn’t in me to write but sometimes there is a need to better ourselves even in areas that we don’t think we can do…
I can attest: things get better with practice.
That’s my hope too — that Lisa reads all of our messages because everyone’s words are simply moving regardless of how it was written…
I’m not just saying that for the sake of saying it. Everyday, I read everyone’s posts and it always manages to make me smile and be happy.
CHEERS TO US!!
PS:
Sorry for this long reply… editing my words is something that I am still working on… THANKS AGAIN.
hello my dearest ate lisa;

Hola Miriam. (Colombia)
tienes toda la razón, estoy de acuerdo contigo,..
Lisa es un ser humano como cualquiera de nosotros, y tiene todo el derecho del mundo a equivocarse, a no ser tan perfecto, a ser tan natural… pienso que quizas nosotros sin querer, podriamos hacerla sentir que ella es la modelo perfecta a seguir mientras ella se podría sentir presionada para no defraudarnos… es cierto,….. debemos tener cuidado con lo que escribimos,…
Yo respeto mucho su espacio, y su privacidad,…
sabes,…. lo que sí estoy muy segura es de que sólo algunas personas en este mundo tienen “Angel”, por así decirlo,…Carisma, y sin pensarlo atraen a la gente,… Yo, cuando la ví por primera vez,,… quise saber más de ella,… y busque y busque,….y pues aquí estoy,…se ha ganado mi respeto y mi cariño, nunca me habia pasado esto con ningun otro artista,…. pero me siento realmente muy feliz haberla conocido,..
Y considero tambien, en que sí de verdad sentimos un cariño sincero hacia ella, la apoyemos ahorita que ella más lo necesita,…porque enfermarse cuesta caro, son muchos gastos que solventar y estando uno enfermo no puede trabajar y se acaban los ahorros,..
Por eso yo invito a cada uno de los fans que somos, porque somos una familia unida hacia nuestra bella Lisa,… que hagamos un pequeño esfuerzo y le ayudemos,…comprando sus discos originales, para que ella pueda percibir un Ingreso,fruto de su trabajo realizado. es justo.
Hoy por ella y mañana que nosotros necesitemos no faltara alguien que nos apoye,….
“Hay quienes dan con alegría y esa alegría es su premio ”
Hoy me informé sobre la forma de pago:
PayPal account as ‘Enlightenment Press Ltd’
en google y aqui en México sí tenemos este servicio por Internet…. Yuppy!! para comprar los audio con voz de Lisa y ademas autografiados,.. Wooww. Excelente !! Very good!
Contribuyamos con nuestro granito de arena,….
” No permitas que alguien venga a tí y se aleje, sin ser mejor y más Feliz”
( son algunas frases celebre de la Madre Teresa de Calcuta )
Tengo mucha Fe, en que Dios le dará el alivio que ella necesita, y no pierdo las Esperanzas de un día conocerle en persona, sería un sueño hecho realidad darle un racimo de flores bellas y una sonrisa franca de Amistad, cariño y Admiración.
se vale soñar,..no? (smile )

Hi N!
Salamat ! Your text woke me up! It’s so nice of you to remember moi from the South! 😉 I’m one of the many, many people who check Lisa’s blog on a daily if not on an every-other-hour basis just to fill the gap and emptiness of not knowing how she is, really. Our Lisa Ray,the only celebrity who has touched my soul on a very personal level.
LISA, you are loved!

Lisa,
I read about you and your blog in the DNA After Hrs section today.
I do not usually (actually never) go to any blogs but today, for some reason, I felt like I wanted to read the words that you write to try to understand the person behind the images that we have seen for so many years.
My impression of you has been derived from your pleasing appearance that can be described as wholesome (1.promoting good moral, mental and physical health and well-being. 2.sound and healthy
3.promoting virtue or being virtuous.) That impression was purely based on what the eyes could see and certainly an absolutely incorrect way of forming an impression. Today I was curious to read the words that you write because I feel that words more accurately reveal the person than images.
I liked your style of writing – simple, non-pretentious (I would not expect a person who has come out of cancer to be pretentious, but still/anyway), thinking and poetic at times. Nothing that that damages the wholesome image. What that probably means is that it is not an image. Thank you!! It is good for certain things to remain as they are, no matter how inconsequential they may be in one’s actual life.
Landour appears to be a nice place to recover and reflect after having won the battle for life. Soon, when the joy of victory recedes away you might be faced with questions of what to do with the life that you have won back. Hope you succeed in finding answers to that too.
I have not said all that I had to related to your blog but work calls so have to go. I will be back to read your blog and write my two bits of thoughts for whatever they are worth.
BTW, doing personal stuff at work is today’s definition of work-life balance!
Take care,
Sandeep

Marcel Proust… Is it Loving Annabelle related?
HELLO MY EMERALD-EYED !!!
For now you are writing and I am reading ….
I think you learn this”you have to listen just your heart not your logic..”
The logic is relatively varies from person to person like the beauty dear Lisa Ray.You try to make people happy with the logic. and satisfaction is the relative….You can not please anybody and nobody not a crown on your head.And you learn this you must live just yourself isnt it?
If you listen your heart you can be happy.possitive or negative All responsibility belongs to you because of this you will be happy always.Nothing will remain in you.
Everything lies in the world ,Except one thing….I dont tell that one.People understand when they come in peril.I know because I lived that feeling…
Good luck ın you life my imagine friend.good luck…As long as my life yet,I will follow your news from far Lisa Ray.
For you, for all newborn babies and for be born …. I wish good luck and a healthy life..
I hope Everything will become what your heart want….

come and visit Romania…for relax
Lisa,
Your “Never Stop Fighting” caption/motto reminds me of a poster I saw several years ago. It had a beautiful picture of a tiger and a deer in a jungle setting with the following message – “If you are a deer, to survive, you have to run faster than the fastest tiger. If you are a tiger, you have to run faster than the slowest deer. So, no matter who you are, when you wake up every morning, be ready to run.” The running here is not very different from “fighting” for survival.
You talk about reading self-help books in your blog and maybe having a mission statement. Recently I came across a unique mission statement for life that I could instantly relate to, almost as if they were my own words. I shall reproduce those words below my name here. Hope you like it. I am not trying to proselytize – just sharing something that I can identify with and think you may like.
Work calls. Gotta go. More for Monday. Hope you have an update by then.
Take care,
Sandeep
“I am not guilty of a sinful deed, but I feel that my soul is sinful in its aspirations. My heart is full of passion, and I have an ambitious mind. I would perform great deeds, noble and miraculous, and would solve the problem of life; I would fathom the mysteries of being and comprehend the law of existence, its source and its purpose. There is an undefined yearning in my breast, a desire to do and to dare, to be useful to others, to live to the utmost of my faculties, and to be rooted in the mysterious ground from which springs all the life that unfolds itself in the world. I came into being, and I shall pass out of existence. I believe that I existed before I was born, and that I shall exist after my death. But these other incarnations of mine are after all other than myself, other at least than my present existence. I understand very well that I am a reproduction of the life impulses that preceded me, and that I shall continue in subsequent reproductions of my karma. But I feel my present self to be the form of this life which will pass away, and I yearn for a union with that eternal substratum of all life which will never pass away.”

I never knew of you till a few weeks ago. I saw your movies “i cant think straight” and “the world unseen”, within one week and will buy the movie”water” soon, it looks quite meaninful. When i saw the first one, i looked you up on the internet 🙂 cause i just thought something about you seemed “deep”(dont know how else to explain it). so here i am doing something i dont normally do, writing to a stranger. when i saw u weren’t well, i read more, cause u r so beautiful and talanted, and i was shocked i guess. My father and his brother both died from lung cancer a long time ago, so the more i learn, the better… i’m 33yrs old, of indian origin, was born and raised in the Caribbean and im a designer/draughter…
anyways, this is all new to me, maybe ill think of signing up on facebook again… n just have my friends and family on it, well… and you too i guess–too many crazy people in the world, so im not big on taking chances. dont like the idea that the world can read this even. wish only you could since im obviously jus writing to you. will continue to read you blogs. if i never hear from you, do have an enjoyable life and i wish you all the love, health and strength you need to give you a very long one 🙂 will say a prayer for you ever so often… take care…here goes….:)
Hey Lisa,
Really happy to hear from u.. And happy dat ur in mussorie.. For sooooooooooooooooo many days we were waitin to hear from u Plsssss tell me wen n where can we meeet u
HOpe ur as healthy as u look..
love u my Lisaaaaaaaaaaaaaa………………
Lisa,
Was not at work on Monday/Tue and could not check if you had updated your blog or not. I now see that you haven’t. I guess that that is probably a good thing, indicating that you have many other things on your plate to occupy yourself with and that there is no emotional dependence on the blog.
You talk about physically extracting yourself from a situation and the baggage that goes with it. I too have always felt that even with the pleasant things in life like vacations, no matter how far you go and how much time you spend, you come back to yourself. The basic questions remains and the same thoughts dominate.
Just realized that I was looking at the wrong page to see if you have updated your blog. Actually you have. So wil end this here now and catch up on what you have written.
Take care,
SAndeep
I really wish we could send money directly to Lisa. I would really love to help her and I am certain she has hundreds of fans who would do the same. I would also love to have a signed photo of her and I think it would be a great idea to sell photos as well. I have ordered several copies of ICTS and TWU to give to friends-anything I can do to help Lisa.
lisa ray.you’re so cool!! and i alway love you! i smile everytime i missing you.. and wish you do the same 🙂
Увжаемый Sandeep!
Извини за мой русский. Внимательно читала твое послание для Lisa и ты меня прости, но это очень… как у нас говорят : “загрузил” “погружает”. Короче, тяжело пытаться всё это переосмысливать. После долгого пути, когда наступали моменты без надежды, когда останавливалось время внутри и снаружи, когда понимаешь, что остаешься только с самим с собой, чтобы понять и осознать что надо просто БЫТЬ.
(Lisa, ходила по лезвию и не ужели ты думаешь, что она чего-то не переосмысливала????)
Только, поддержка и понимание, что она не одна – нужно ей сейчас ну и конечно отдых, большой, теплый, свежий, светлый, сладкий отдых без мыслей, страхов и заморочек.
Back to the business of blogging -….. неплохое начало для книги, Lisa!
Да, извини за мой английский, на русском лучше получается.
Dear Sandeep! Sorry for my Russian. Carefully read your message to Lisa and you must forgive me, but it is very … as we say: “uploaded” dips “. In short, it is hard to try to rethink it all.After a long journey that the moment of no hope, when time stands still inside and out, when you realize that there remains only with himself with them to understand and realize that we should just be. (Lisa, went on the blade and Dost thou think that it something without questioning??) But, support and understanding that she was not alone – it needs now well and of course holiday, a big, warm, fresh, light, sweet vacation without thoughts, fears and zamorochek. Back to the business of blogging -….. good beginning for the book, Lisa! Yes, I’m sorry for my English, Russian is better obtained.
my special thinking
am happy to see you fine
Good come Back
I hope the Cancer does not know your way forever —
(reading a lot of self-help books..?) why? You are encyclopedia in it its not compliment you are perfect
YOU do & bear a lot of things unbearable which mean you can win this battle
all always with you. always here for one perfect person &
just live with love always
amante nono
Nerissa,
if there are what they call “feel good movies,” when i read ur comments here, i realized, there could be “feel good writings” too!
You are gifted…
write more.. because u inspire others too..
how come i feel proud of the way you write and express/convey ur feelings? but we are total strangers…
maybe because ur writings embody and represent others’ thoughts, especially those who are not as good as you and always run out of words…
i hope Lisa gets to read all replies and comments on her blogs to see the good and the light her happy battle has given to others…
Hey Lady ;o)
Look I know what it’s like 2 lose one’s balance so this is what you have to do for us. U MUST be very deliberate and careful. Remember that although U may be feeling better U may still be vulnerable to broken bones. So be careful, be careful, be careful.
Very difficult to emphasize the importance of this particularly when ur probably hundreds of thousands of miles away and don’t read all of your comments. But U R too beautiful to be sportin’ a black eye or a cast sweetie
Back to business, ha! If only there was a book on it. I know you only from the posters that adorned our dorm rooms back in the days 🙂 Now this eloquent side. Amazing. Please keep writing.
After the chemo, I wanted to visit the farthest places and dive the deepest oceans. Suck that marrow of life, as they say. But none of that happened; I didn’t have the audacity to venture into the unknown. So think about writing that book, for those of us who can do with some inspiration. Good luck and best wishes for a healthy future.
hi lisa,
After reading your blog, and your journey to fight cancer, I felt I needed to write to you.
I am alive and well but prematurely lost my husband to an avalanche accident in B.C. Canada. at my age of 33,He leaves me with an infant and a 5 yr old.
As I conteplate life and its meaning, your articulate way of expression really touched me and my thought process. As time has gone by I also have felt, that I am no more the same person and therefore something must drastically change in order to make my own and my childrens life count for something valuable and meaningful. I moved to canada from mumbai following my heart and love.
thank you for your blog and keep writing.
cheers

Hi Everybody..
Just happened to go through this comments.Each and every disease is curable..the only thing is we need to find a suitable way to get to the medicine..as a pointer just couple of ways..Ayurveda is one good way..You may simultaneously try going through Dr Devendra Vora`s books..Am not trying to motivate or exaggerating the things..just placed my observations.
Regards
Ramesh
Lisa Ray is a picture of strong woman!

Please expand into a book 🙂
I encourage you to make this into a book.
