Unstuck A few weeks ago, I was feeling a bit stuck. I continually redirect my thoughts, say my affirmations, but the past kept presenting itself in my brain (less than before, but I was tired of the thoughts creeping in).   As I was navigating my way through moving forward into uncharted territory I pulled...

I have a million and two things to tell you.   The old Laura would have been sitting on the edge of her seat waiting to spill her guts and walk through an analysis of thoughts, actions, and feelings. What’s different now is that I can wait – knowing nothing must be “in this moment”.... Read More ..read more

For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to go somewhere and come back different. I was always “too much”.   There will always be things we’re working through, and for me, one of the things that I have concentrated on was my fear of rejection (and knowing when to let go) –...

If you had asked me two years ago who I would be surrounded by today, I wouldn’t have believed you. The toughest part was going through the “being alone” part. Being left totally alone to sit still in the silence…and find myself again.   If you caught the blog last week – I talked about... Read More ..read more

Here we are the start of a new month, and many new beginnings! As we turn the page on the calendar and the mornings might start getting a little cooler, the leaves begin to change and fall – it’s truly nature that shows us how good it is for us to let go.   I... Read More ..read more

“I know you thought the breaking was the most painful chapter. It wasn’t. Turn the page. The next part is much longer. It’s the healing. The rise. The comeback. It’s the birth of the new you. And it’s not easy. But you are strong, brave, and worth it.” – Stephanie Bennett-Henry   Be the Pineapple... Read More ..read more

I didn’t write much this week – is it the feeling of overwhelm? Busyness? Do we feel overwhelmed because we have too much going on…or is that just life and that feeling comes from not doing the things that make me feel “alive” enough? I went for a short stint in my kayak this morning... Read More ..read more

  So much of our lives are shaped by the tiniest moments and decisions. This thought is not only mind-blowing but also incredibly empowering.   I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this hustle and grind mode that I have been in…and how good it feels when I “let go” and let the universe be...

Let me take a breath, and then keep going.   I did something I haven’t done in so long; I literally can’t even remember when I sat for an extended amount of time on my couch. An old habit of mine. I like being busy. I’m a single mom with three kids, a house and a giant yard to take care of, and I’m building a business with a ton of growth happening right now BUT – I spent a Saturday morning on the couch. No guilt. No activities. Just me and my little watching endless episodes of The Gilmore Girls, and it felt fucking amazing.   The dishes can wait. The endless lists for home and busi ..read more

Finding my tribe I had something else planned to post today, but I was so inspired I decided to write this, staying true to my authentic self. I’ve been on my own for five years, and I hadn’t had many single friends during the entire time. It’s been a little lonely, to say the least. Under the advisement of my therapist five years ago…I joined Meetup and found a few groups to follow. I’m happy to report…in year 4(!) I attended my first (and only) meetup. Trying to find the right group that fit “me” was difficult. I like hiking but throughout the years have been in different phases of being in ..read more
