About Me


Hi there!

Just a little about me… I am Lisa S Downing as opposed to the myriad of other Lisa Downings who don’t have an “S” in the middle.  I am a wife, mother, daughter, teacher, student, coach, investor, financial counselor, entrepreneur, do-it-yourself-er, landscaper, chef, gardener, landlord, accountant, tax preparer, taxi driver, painter, crafter, logger, neighbor, friend and Christian just to name a few of my many titles.

A brief history… Born and raised in the farmland of Ohio.  Enlisted in the U.S. Navy at 17.  Retired as a Supply Corps Officer after having served my country for over 22 years.  Since retirement I have been a  Realtor, accountant, Assistant to a CEO,  financial counselor, therapeutic foster parent, real estate investor, adoptive parent, volleyball coach, bus driver, and right now I am learning how to create earnings from the Internet.   Currently living in Northern Virginia with my husband , five children, two dogs and a cat.

So why did I make this blog, don’t I have enough to keep me busy?  The truth is, I have always had a secret desire to be a writer.  I have never chased it, and it haunts me.  So I plan to use this format to practice writing, share thoughts and ideas, ask and answer questions, listen to your feedback, encourage you to chase your dreams and just take a few minutes to walk through life together.

I am looking forward to getting to know you.

Sincerely,

Lisa S. Downing
