In Laura’s Words

I write to shine a light on a dim or otherwise pitch black corner…to provide relief for myself and others. It’s the light that I am looking for. And the wonder it illuminates.
May my words land in your heart.

yours, Laura

I’m Moving my Writings to Substack

You’ve been wandering through the archives of my heart—years of ink and inquiry gathered here like driftwood from a long, steady tide. It is a beautiful thing to look back at where we’ve been, but I’d love for us to step into the “now” together. I’m moving the conversation over to Substack, a space where we can breathe a bit more deeply and engage in the real-time rhythm of our lives. If you’ve found a home in these words, I invite you to join me there; let’s continue this practice of seeking, truth-telling, and finding our way home to ourselves, one post at a time.

A San Francisco Bookseller and Sales Rep just made my day…

Dear, Laura: I LOVE your book and so many things about it. So much of what you said resonated with me (as it did with thousands of others, after that column first appeared in the New York Times).  I could especially relate to all the times you had those inner dialogs...

Waiting for the Book Baby

I've never been much for limbo.  Who is?  Maybe you are.  Maybe you take limbo as a gift-- and do things like yoga and deep breathing and mindful dish washing.   One woman's limbo is another's purgatory, I guess.  Because for me this waiting time is torture.  I'm no...
