I learned to be
in the world
as both human
and healer,
letting go a little more
of the need for labels
and tightly held concepts,
no longer needing
the outer world
to understand
or validate
what I had found
through focusing
within my heart —
never losing the natural essence
of my own unique expression
or the place where we are
the same.
In honor of the sacred journey back to our true essence.
A note about Laurie’s Notes:
Laurie’s Notes are the medicinal notes I stumbled on after a long struggle with anorexia and Depression, trauma,…. all a distant memory now. And so I continue to write and share with you. I promise I don’t sit around and meditate all day or appear super calm on the surface. I am usually chasing my little daughter and puppy and holding my tongue with my husband (or stomping my feet ♡). I’m almost 44. I had anorexia from 14 until almost 40. What is different is I found a place of peace that is always with me and was all along. I just felt disconnected from it. And so I share my notes from this place — holding this space. I love sharing more, but like to do that more one on one. I love notes and email. I’m happy to support your journey.
With gratitude and love,
Laurie
I love this one Laurie, that about labels really resonates with me. Sometimes labels, even if they are “good” ones, like smart, kind, selfless, angelic, can become a prison of expectations. People expect you to be a certain way and when you are not they get disappointed. It is sometimes hard. It has happened to me a lot, so now I am always eager to show all of myself right away to avoid those labels. But sometimes people find that to be a bit too much. 😊😊. Never mind, we are who we are! And for most of us, that is a bit of everything 💖

Are you inviting us to correspond with you one on one? I would love that. Would it be like a newsletter? What a great way to start the day! ❤

That would be fun. ♡ in the meantime, just wanted to open myself a little. I stick mostly to these little notes and I was afraid I might feel a bit distant.I’m in this messy life stuff at the same time like we all are. It helps me to focus on my clear heart notes. But I acknowledge the messy journey happening at the same time. ♡ We’ll see how it evolves. I like your idea. Love ♡ Laurie
