Taking Care   As I sit here, at 8pm on a Wednesday evening (alone)…I check my email “Use your alone time wisely”. Well, if there wasn’t a more appropriate time for all these things to collide – and here we are.   I am at the end of day two in the hospital (I’m okay!!),…

For as long as I can remember I always had this desire to go into hiding (somewhere, or nowhere) and come back different. Almost like this pause in life where I can step away for a quick change and then just slip back into reality – reinvented. I have kids, and a house and a…

Welcome to my table for one!   ***********   Open Space – free to receive what you’ve made space for – Look at all the room for activities!! I’ve been playing the Beatles nonstop lately at home all the time and it delights me to know that my daughters do the same when they go…

If you are new here, allow me to introduce myself, and if you’ve been following for a while…allow me to REINTRODUCE myself 😊   I’m Laura, a 41-year-old single mom of three. I write a little blog, which has grown in the last seven years. I am so grateful to be where I am now,…

Filling Space     This is my third sequential blog – I typically don’t write in this format, but I am glad you are following along. If you haven’t been, go back a few posts and check it out!     The most important relationship we have in our entire lives – is with ourselves….

I started watching Sex and City from the beginning again recently.   When my ex-husband moved out, I started watching more TV. Prior to that I could easily go weeks without sitting on my couch. It wasn’t that I couldn’t, or he wouldn’t let me watch what I wanted to, it was because I needed…

Crying and the release of tears is the body letting go and cleansing…. just roll with it. I am a crier – I cannot help it. Always have been, always will be. I cry when I’m angry, sad, or happy. I was faulted for doing so many times over and even in my last relationship…

  Remember when Dharma from Dharma and Greg ran into their room and dove into their bed on clean sheet day – that’s EXACTLY how I feel on a Sunday evening. And I’m sitting here writing to you and putting this blog together from my freshly laundered oasis! Ah…bliss! Here we are another new month,…
