A quiet remembering: the promise in my name and the victory meant for all of us.

Some things you don’t learn — you remember. Last night, I remembered my name.


Spirit nudged me to look up the meaning of my name pretty early in my awakening. Back then, it felt like an interesting coincidence — a breadcrumb. Over the years, its significance wove itself through different lessons, different seasons, different initiations, like a quiet thread holding everything together.


But last night, alone in the soft hush of my bedroom while the rest of the house slept, it all came full circle.


Not in my mind. In my body.


It was one of those moments where the soul suddenly inhales—and a fragment you didn’t know you were missing comes home.


The words on the page didn’t just inspire me.

They recognized me.

They spoke directly to the place in me that remembers God, remembers truth, remembers what I came for.


And I wept — not from sorrow but from relief.

From alignment.

From the knowing that fear can dissolve and perfect peace is not a concept… it’s a state we’re all returning to.


My Name Was a Map I Didn’t Know I Was Following


My first name, Lisa, means God’s promise.

My middle name, Nicole, means victory of the people.


Together, they form a single message:

God’s promise is the victory of the people.


For years, I thought this meaning was simply poetic.

Maybe symbolic.

Maybe a sweet spiritual wink from the universe.


But last night, something deeper landed:

This isn’t just about me.This is about all of us.


My name isn’t a declaration of personal importance — God forbid.

It’s a reminder of a truth encoded within humanity itself:


We each carry a divine promise.

And when we remember it, the people win.


Not “win” through power or conquest —but through awakening.

Through unity. Through the return to Love.

Through the dissolving of fear in the collective body.


The Essenes Knew This Long Before We Forgot


The Essenes — Jesus’ own spiritual lineage — chose a child’s name based on soul essence.

Based on purpose.

Based on destiny.


They charted the stars at the moment of birth.

They studied the child’s unique gifts.

And they raised them not to survive…but to remember.


We’ve lost that way of knowing.

We’ve lost the reverence for the name as frequency, map, and message.

But we are remembering.


And last night, in the stillness of my room, my name cracked me open.

It was like Spirit whispering:


“This is who you’ve always been. And this is who humanity is becoming.”


A Promise on the Wind


The realization didn’t feel grandiose or egoic.

It felt humble.

Tender.


Like a warm kitchen window in wintertime, where a homemade pot pie cools and the scent floats through the air long before the meal reaches the table.


That’s what awakening feels like.


A promise already baked.

Already finished.

Already ours.

We just catch the scent of it before we taste the fullness.


And last night, I did.


I remembered who I am — not better than anyone, but as one of many who are remembering right now.


Your Name Holds a Promise Too


If this resonates with you — if something in your chest is stirring as you read this —

I want to gently invite you into the same remembering.


Look up the meaning of your name.

Sit with it.

Feel it.

Let it speak to you.


You might find:

✨ a forgotten gift

✨ a soul assignment

✨ a buried truth

✨ a prophecy of your own


Your name is not random.

Your parents weren’t guessing.

Your soul chose it — or whispered it — long before you arrived.


And I believe every one of us carries something sacred inside the letters we answer to.


A Final Blessing


May we each remember the promise we carry.

May we walk each other home, name by name.


If this opened something in you, I’d be honored to hear what your name means —

not in a “comment for the algorithm” way, but in the spirit of collective remembering.

Share it if you feel called.

Or sit with it quietly until your soul inhales.


Either way, the promise is already unfolding.
