Hi there, I’m Laura…

…writer, technology and nature lover forging a path of simple wholeness.

Living simply and holistically amidst the chaos of 21st century life can be a challenge.

But there are many ways to cultivate simple wholeness, whether it’s by taking walks in the woods after a long day of computer sitting, or through eating well and remembering to breathe throughout the day. These little practices make our lives more simple, more whole.

And that’s what this blog is all about. Simple Wholeness.

For years, I explored various pathways that could help me move more fully into wholeness.

I wandered the inner and outer world. Studied shamanism, yoga, Tai Chi, meditation and more. Traveled to foreign countries, climbed mountains, traveled solo into the wild parts of North America.

And I “did my work” as best as I could, trying to cultivate the wholeness I sought.

I funded my adventures by working in corporate jobs. I succeeded. And did quite well. And learned.

But then came a number of events, tumbling into (or out of) my life like an out of control avalanche. The economic recession, for example.

As things fell apart I had a nagging sense that I was not living my life in alignment with my deepest values.

So I decided to make a change.

One of the things I learned in my travels was the joy of simple living. It seemed natural to realize I wanted “simple wholeness” to be my way of life.

It was a simple solution to a stressful situation.

The more I talk with people the more I realize my struggles were not (and are not) unusual.

Life can become topsy-turvy when we least expect. It’s a universal phenomena.

There are, however, many pathways into the rich, metaphorical landscape of the soul.

When we listen to the voices of nature and our own heart, we can tap into universal truth and find the stillness within. When we travel, we expand our understanding of others and our selves.

All of this helps us learn to live more inspired, purposeful lives.

I hope you enjoy my writing and videos. And that you find a way to cultivate your own simple wholeness.
