Such wonderful creative writing Lauren...This is what I would call outside the box writing....It not only draws in the reader but it makes us think and use our imagination as you drop images like the sweets that Hansel and Gretel used...Brilliant writing as always and I am so happy you found that beautiful home inside of you. No matter where you lay your head, your heart will always be home. Most never experience that awakening, you have arrived x PS. Gordy will always love you, no matter where he sits. Glad you got this time together x
Wow, Lauren, welcome home. What a profound shift. And I relate to this so much! These sentences crush it: “It was never the people or the place. Surprise, surprise I was running from me. Everywhere I went, there I was. Finally, that’s a glorious thing.”
For me, I spent 16 years of my adult life “running” abroad. Finally, I ran and found myself home. Really home. No more “have to” go. I can “choose to travel”, but it is no longer a compulsive wanderlust that has its joys and limitations.

Thank you for your gorgeous, generous writing.
Oh wow, Laura!
Thank you so very much for reading and for taking the time to share these reflections with me. This means so very much.
I am so pleased it resonated and I absolutely feel you on the lack of have to's and the abundance of choose to's. What a blessing! 🧡🧡🧡
