: About Me

My name is Lisa Moeller. I am a native Floridian who is content to call Saint Petersburg my birthplace and home. I am a single mother blessed with two amazing sons who are 10 years apart. They are the culmination of amazing grace.

Writing is my passion. Until I became a victim of workplace dysfunction, I was a successful, professional grants manager in the non-profit arena for over seven years, chasing after (and catching) government and private grants for good causes. Such work was fulfilling, but I long to write about my perspective on living, relationships, nature, personal growth, women's issues and spirituality. I have a dream to see a book (or two) that I've written sitting in a bookstore window. Maybe now, I'll have a chance to make it happen.

My life, like many of yours, has seen its share of dark and light. I've experienced great pain and great joy. I hope I've gathered some wisdom and perspective from both that I can share with you.

I heartily encourage you to contact me with your feedback, advice, critique and comments. You are the readers for whom I write.

My passion is ...

Living with my hand wide open for Life to give and take from me for my ultimate good.

I know too much about ...

Failed relationships and depression.

My parents always told me ...

More than they should have.

My childhood ambition ...

I so wanted to be a veterinarian. I love animals.

My favorite memory ...

Slow-dancing with my newborn sons.

Why I write ...

I am compelled. It is who I am.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Reading Deepak Chopra's "How to Know God"; conversely, I am addicted to HBO's "True Blood." And I can't seem to eject Dave Matthews from my CD player.

My first job ...

I was a hotel maid. It prepared me well for motherhood.

This one. That's all there is.

My inspiration ...

I'm inspired by other excellent and successful literary writers.

Breaking the Mold So, I was doing a little research to develop some fresh, new inspiring writing the other day. I simply searched women's empowerment. On the upswing, I found oodles of websites devoted to empowering women around the world, and I'm not just talking about finding equal footing in a relationship, I'm talking equal opportunity to surviveto be considered an actual human beingin third world countries. But what really got me was this: Down at the bottom of the screenyou know, where the advertised links arewere links entitled Dirty Girls in YOUR Area, Bad Girls in YOUR Area, and P...
