Grateful for this body. Grateful for this life.

Nobody showed gratitude like Laura did. Thank you notes, letters, phone calls, text messages, shout outs. The way she loved friends and strangers alike. Gratitude was a main focus in Laura’s life and if she was grateful for something for someone, everybody knew it.

Gratitude can be easy for some and difficult for others. November, especially, can bring up lots of reminders for reasons to be grateful. Sometimes in grief or during a hard time, gratitude can be hard to find. Our hope is that with Laura‘s guidance, you can find reasons to be grateful. If nothing else, be thankful for the body that you are alive in right now. In its flaws, in its sicknesses, in its weaknesses. You are alive inside your body. You may feel at times that it has failed you, but mostly, your body has endured every physical and emotional shattering, healing, pain, growth, illness, misstep, success and celebration from the moment you took your first breath. It has carried you through everything to date.

On this Laura day and every day, we encourage you to take care of your physical and emotional well-being. More specifically, get your mammogram scheduled and give yourself a self breast exam. There are tools and resources to navigate the world of healthcare, and Laura told us how to utilize nearly all of them. Message us with questions!

Little signs everywhere…
•••
If you are open to something bigger than our human existence, then you have probably experienced a feeling that is hard to describe. “Little signs”, “God winks”, “messages”, from that bigger space, that often carry us when it feels like taking even one more step might completely end us.
•••
If there is something to learn from death it is this; Those who have passed on are everywhere. They can hear us, feel us, and are closer to us than ever before. It will never replace the ache we feel in our human bodies, but it can feel like a cloud sliding under our feet, moving us into a space we can tolerate and if we’re lucky, even enjoy.
•••
If there is something to learn from Laura’s life on earth it is this; be fiercely and unapologetically and authentically you. Stand up, when everyone else sits down. Yell out, when everyone else is quiet. Live as fully and completely and wholly as you can, with love and tenderness and compassion. And CHECK YOUR BREASTS every month. Get your mammogram. Talk to your doctors and make changes to support your body, mind and spirit. Do not accept answers from medical professionals until you feel seen and heard. Today is Laura day. Do all of this for her…but mostly, for you. Look for the little signs and believe them.

Time is not a thief, time is a gift. Another month has passed, another Laura day is here. What a gift, this month we’ve all been given. To love, to laugh, to cry, to feel, to sing & dance, to play, to celebrate, to rest & recover, to work & achieve, to fail & learn, to hug & kiss. The gift of time.
•••
Remember, today is YOUR health and wellness check in day. Self breast exam day. The 18th of the month represents the 1 in 8 women that will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Something we know for certain is that early detection saves lives.

Time is not a thief. Time is a gift. What will you do with your gift today?
