For a moment I closed my eyes and I could see it… True peace True health True well-being Safety
A deep knowing of it all being okay Feeling connected Cared for Loved
This is how we should be living
Not in fear, scarcity, pay-check to pay-check
There are moments where I feel so much certainty over the plan of God over our lives. That we are meant to be well. We are meant for havingness, abundance, freedom, joy, connection, love, peace. This is where we are meant to be living from.
Deep down I feel like I know this to be true to my core.
I can hear it in the music. I can picture it in my mind.
Why have we gone so astray?
I feel so small in the face of it all. It’s so noisy sometimes I can’t find who I am. I can’t hear my own voice. I can’t tell if you’re really there.
God I thought you were real. I thought you were there. I thought you cared. I thought we mattered. Don’t let the world suffer.
About me pages always make my mind go blank, which is ironic because there's really so much to say. I guess what stumps me is where do I start?
Here are the basics: They named me Laura. They, meaning my parents, who were never married but mingled in 1988 in the country of Brazil, where little me was born.
I grew up in New York City among a melting pot of cultures, smells, and hustle.
I've learned to be a go-getter, thinker, intuitive, lover of life, peace maker, and coffee enthusiast - among other things.
I like to write. I've been keeping a journal since my early teenage years. I created Reflect Out Loud to simply share whatever is on my mind in whatever style that comes up for me. I try to let whatever I put out here be free flowing. I simply want to share my thoughts out in the open.
But to simplify this about me: I am a human, having a human experience. I have a story, just like you have a story. And some of that story you'll see here.
Um... I guess that's pretty much all I have for now.
Big love,
Laura
