If you’re new here, hello! I’m Laura, a 41-year-old divorced mom of three awesome humans. I’m a self-proclaimed foodie. I love sharing a meal with someone over a good conversation where we both walk away better people. I love being outside, taking pictures, gardening, and long walks in Home Depot. This is starting to sound like my dating profile.

I have struggled with the whole “self-love” thing, my entire life. I watched my own mother struggle with herself, but it wasn’t until I saw my daughter struggle, that I realized how low my own was. When did this happen? 

I started this blog with the intent of sharing my story with the world, in hopes it can help others as well. I have committed myself to practice my own affirmations, to be inspired by inspiring others. I am a strong, happy, healthy, sexy, confident, woman; not defined by any one title.

I have learned an incredible amount since starting this journey seven years ago, after the birth of my youngest daughter, losing my job – and my mother, unexpectedly. The goal was to get healthy, but it’s grown to be so much more than that. Through years of soul searching, therapy, self-exploration, and adventure I have put those self-loving words into action and embraced the chance to reinvent myself. Each day starts with a new beginning.  A chance to reinvent yourself and have a positive impact on the people around you. Words mean nothing, without the action backing them up.

Who knows where I’ll end up, it doesn’t matter right now.  Living in the present, that’s what is important.

Thinking of you, and sending you love.

Laura
