I would like to share Lisa Ojanpera’s story of strength, determination, faith, and encouragement! If you do not already follow her blog I encourage you to. She encourages me with her humor, dogged determination to be the woman God created her to be. This quote from her moved me, as does all her writing. I am moved to tears, laughter and that feeling of a kindred spirit that resonates with my inner Lioness. She epitomizes the spirit of PINK, to be transformed by the grace and mercy. I know you will be greatly encouraged by her story.

I think the stronger we get the more gentle we also get~Lisa Ojanpera
Lisa in her own words shares about her near death experience:
My name is Lisa. I am a housewife and mother of four girls. The last pregnancy almost claimed my life. It ended in an emergency c-section and extensive nerve damage. I spent a year of my life learning to walk and talk again. My life was almost claimed again recently when a bad case of pneumonia turned into ARDS. This has drastically changed my outlook on life. My desire is to give out as much hope and encouragement as I can along this path of life that we all share.
Wow. I’m overwhelmed and speechless. Big, big hugs! Thank you so very much for your love and encouragement, Michelle. I am humbled and honored! ♡♡♡♡♡ You are very beautiful and I love you so much!
I love you right back! You helped me realize our inner Lioness was meant to share, and show love. You are amazing! I also reblogged on my blog! I want people to see what faith, grace and mercy looks like! It’s called a the great fight of faith because you are a fighter and I’m in your corner! I’ll even get some PINK boxing gloves! 😀 ❤
My heart is overcome with love. I’m speechless. ♡♡♡♡♡♡ Thank you.
It is I who is speechless. Jeanne Marie from Women who think too much blog is my partner in PINK. She loved the idea. She’s beside herself because her mission in life is to help women….she’s blown away just as I am! 😀
I don’t think I follow her. I need to find her blog!

She’s so inspiring! OMG you will love her like I do. She loved all my PINK art and asked if I would consider sharing it on a PINK blog. I was honored. She’s a lovely writer of Women Who Think Too Much. I was immediately drawn to her blog from the title. She’s so excited. We get excited when we are smack dab in the middle of our calling which is to encourage and inspire. You realize that is yours as well? Aside from being a wife and mom YOU sweet PINK friend have a huge story to share! I see it! WOW!
I’m excited too. I found her, followed her and I’m sharing as fast as I can. Thank you guys so much. ♡ 🙂 ♡
Can I give Johnny a Diva cupcake? Since he’s surrounded by them? Would he like that?
Yes! Please! He will love it!!!
OK! I have it ready but I wanted to check first! I’m also going to share his blog and that most that he wrote about you. Girl that’s real life right there. That’s faith in motion!
Sounds awesome! Yes, it is very much real life. Poetry in motion! 😉 ♡
OH yes! I love it! I can’t wait to see his reaction to the DIVA cupcake award! What a good sport he is! 😀
Well he has his mom and me, four daughter’s and three sisters. I think he was made for women. LOL
Oh wow yes and what a patient man he must be. LOL! I’m sorry but that made me laugh! 😀
I always tell people he shouldn’t have been praying to be surrounded by beautiful women! He blushes and says, “I did not!” Works every time. Hahaha! 😉
And a charmer that man of yours. I love it when husband adore their wives. It’s so refreshing and nice to see. 🙂

Thank you! I love your blog! I think JM has been by too! It’s hard to tell which one of us is on here. She usually is on late at night and some in the morning but well it’s hard to know really. We do sign JM and MM. So this is me MichelleMarie MM ❤
I’ve seen both. You related?
NO you would think so! I first met JM when I saw her book Women who think too much! I read her book and it was like she was reading my mind! Then she asked me to share my PINK art which I have a lot of and I did and here we are. PINKing up some PINK! Yay! Now you are PINKn too! 😀 Yay
….. and may I ask why the pink? Lol
yes of course you can ask whatever you like! Well I have a lot of PINK art! On my blog. Pink is my softer side and I express it in my art. JM said she really was drawn to it and asked if I would like to share my PINK art so I said sure! I was very humbled, and also in a rough place creatively. Long story but it’s all tired to my job and blah blah blah. Sorry I digress a lot! So JM created this blog and I come here to play with the pink stuff in my head! She is a writer. I have all of this stuff that just comes out when I blog! I’m getting ready to PINK something I don’t know what. I can tell I’m needing some pink though! LOL Have a super evening! I’m late getting back to you on this response. JM is traveling, she pops in to post and comment as well. 😀 ❤ PINk on!
You da bomb!!! So nice to have connected with you ladies!!
❤ …..
Yes I think so too! You are awesome! Wow it’s almost mid-night it took me all night to get up the energy now it’s almost bed time! 😀
You’re right!! It’s 1:10 AM in Florida. I’m working on my last post … and off to bed!!
Sweet dreams!! hugs ….. ❤ …
