My Inner Struggle

I’ve been on a little bit of a hiatus, not on purpose – sometimes…there are simply not enough hours in the day. Have you ever seen the movie Eat, Pray, Love? You know the part where Delia says to Liz – “Liz, having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You kind…

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”….

All. The. Feels. Each week I open a fresh, new blank page, pause and dive in. I always loved to write   One day, I’ll be writing to you from a desk sitting in front of a big window overlooking a body of water. This is what I always envisioned for myself. Writing came natural…

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…

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…

  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…
