Laurie's Notes

I am love. I vow to honor my own inner experiences and those of others around me as they are — instead of how I imagine they should be. I vow to listen a little more deeply and reach a little further — just when I think I have reached as far and let go as much as I possibly can. I vow to show up in each moment, not as a continuation of past stories, but as the infinite possibilities of my limitless self. I am healer. I am love.

I am healer.

I find healing

in my own natural ability

to hold,

to honor,

and to let go.

I focus my attention

on the part of me

that never needed

to learn how to love.

I am healer.

I am love.

Let me always remember

the peace I found

in following my own heart,

in holding each tiny piece

of a me that could

never be broken,

in beginning to listen

just a little deeper —

listening with my heart

instead of just my mind

and all of its endless figuring out

and questioning.

Let me remember instead

this joy of reconnecting

with the tiny pieces

of this life

without needing

to fit them together

all at once.

I found peace

in the quiet moments

of true connection

within my own heart

and in the world —

where this connection

and whatever my heart revealed

in its own quiet way

was always just enough

and just right.

On the journey

into my own shattered heart,

just below

all of the unanswered questions,

I found

that what I had believed to be

something terribly wrong

with me

had been a mirage,

a reflection

of what was not just in me,

but in all of us.

And I found there was

really nothing particularly special

about me either,

except for the persistent symptoms

that urged me to keep listening

a little more deeply

and the desire to find

some way to reflect

the peace and wisdom

and hope

hidden underneath

all that was untrue.

Thank you

for showing up

and for just being you.

The world is a little more

beautiful and magical

because you’re here.

Happy birthday, dear friend. Thank you for being here.

This note is also for all of us and all of our little parts. We are part of a bigger story. And each little part is important. I’m glad we’re all here!

Love,
Laurie

I found healing

not somewhere off in the distance,

waiting at the end of

years of learning,

but in the moment

I trusted my own steps

and felt the unconditional love

of my own healer self

I offer my love

and acceptance

to my own experience

as it is —

a sacred gesture

of peace

and transformation.

At times,

it was difficult

to trust

the unfolding

of my own path.

But I always found,

with each new step —

the resolve

to just keep going.

Whenever things feel to be

a little too much,

I remember

how I found I could

step back

and reset with my soul.

And so I listen

to whatever shows up

right in front of me —

as a prayer.
