Lisa (eBook, ePUB)

The long-awaited memoir of one of Australia's most enduring and inspiring sporting icons. Triple Olympian and wellness entrepreneur Lisa Curry has lived her life in the public eye for six decades. In this very personal memoir, she shares the untold story of being Lisa.A swimming prodigy who became one of Australia's first fitness entrepreneurs, Lisa Curry swam to Olympic fame in the '80s and '90s. With celerity and celebrity, she became in equal parts the darling of women's magazines and tabloid fodder, until, at 58, a family tragedy nearly consumed her. From the golden girl of Australian swimming to a 'super mum' and now a proud grannie, Lisa Curry has a powerful story to tell of endurance and enduring.In 1972, ten-year-old Lisa escaped the heat of a hot and muggy Brisbane day in the local pool when she was spotted by Dawn Fraser's legendary swim coach, Harry Gallagher. Within two years of joining his swim squad, Lisa would be one of the fastest swimmers of her age in the world.Over the next 23 years, Lisa honed her natural talent with a legendary work ethic and a punishing training ritual of 5 am starts. Countless hours of long, unbroken swimming of up to 60km a week in solitary union with the black lines of the pool would take Lisa to three Olympic Games: Moscow 1980, Los Angeles 1984, and Barcelona 1992; three Commonwealth Games; and two World Championships. By the time Lisa called time on her sporting career, she had become the only Australian to hold Commonwealth and Australian records in every stroke except backstroke, and from 50 to 400 metres, a feat that has not been repeated to this day.In this funny, heartbreaking but always life-affirming memoir, Lisa Curry reflects on a life well lived and the experiences that shaped her: swimming, family, marriage, divorce, and love found again. It is a powerful story of resilience, of highs and lows, and of starting out and starting again.

Alba - C&R Macdonald We found the lyrics to this song so inspiring, a' moladh ar dùthaich àlainn. A Fisherman's Baby - Ella Wheeler Wilcox/Megan MacLellan The lyrics to this song were originally from a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, an American born in 1850, and was originally published in the book 'Yesterdays' in 1910. Megan composed the tune and arranged the lyrics. East to West - Kenna Robertson We all hope this is the first of many tunes from Kenna. This clarsach tune gives an eastern flavour to the album. Step it up a Notch Bulgarian Red - Charlie McKerron Gravel Walks to Grannie - Trad Irish Tatties & Herring - Allan MacDonald (Glenuig) Mo Luaidh, Mo Ghraidh - Olivia Johnston & Megan MacLellan Written by Olivia and Megan and, ironically, the song is about the difficulties of writing a song. Sgrìobh Olivia is Megan an t-òran seo mu dheidhinn cho doirbh 's a tha e a' bhith a' sgrìobhadh òran. Rain Over Me - Eilidh Colston Eilidh composed this song while at RockSchool in Fort William. The Gael - Dougie MacLean We were introduced to this tune by Lisa MacNeil, our Gàidhlig teacher, and we composed the lyrics which has let us put our own stamp on the tune. They are from an old Gaelic proverb: "Thig crioch air an saoghal, ach mairidh gaol is mairidh ceòl" 'The world will pass away, but love and music will endure' Ishbel of Inverosie - Megan MacLellan Megan wrote this tune for her Granny who lived in Meoble as a child in the house 'Inverosie' Moladh Àrasaig - Traditional After leaving Arisaig in 1884, Iain Mac An t-Saoir wrote this song about the sorrows of leaving his beloved village of Arisaig. 'S e taillear a bh' ann agus b-abhaist dha a' bhith a' fuireach os cionn oifis a' phuist ann an Àrasaig. Lochaber No More - Traditional Allan Ramsay wrote this poem in 1724 about a Highlander's nostalgia. It is originally a pipe tune. Dog and the Rabbit - Kris Drever Jacqueline and Rebecca were taught this tune at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in summer 2009. Illean Aigh - Traditional Òran a thainig à Ceap Bhreatainn.
