Email to Me that Could Be for YOU

9/7/2020

I received this email from my current art mentor. ⠀
⠀
It's funny how we often pick just the perfect teachers for ourselves, at the perfect time. Her words seem as though they could be my words and yet I needed to read them from someone else. So good. ⠀
⠀
So of course, I want to share this with you because she could be speaking to you as well. ⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
"Dear Laura,⠀
⠀
Here is what I want to say to you today...⠀
⠀
You have so many gifts to bring to the world, so many ripples of goodness that you’re holding back because you’re afraid you’re not good enough or you’ll make a mistake or you might have to venture outside of your comfort zone. ⁣🎁⠀
⠀
These are the stuck places, love. Vitality doesn’t live in comparison, fear, or doubt. Vitality lives and loves at the other end of the spectrum from "stuckness". ⁣⠀
⠀
The end that’s a magnet for joy and flow and creative abundance. ⁣❤️⠀
⠀
See how many ways today you can catch yourself getting in your own way and each time it happens give yourself a gentle compassionate hug and imagine a beautiful flower unfurling one petal at a time, open, aware, and receptive to everything amazing that is coming your way.⠀
⠀
Are you ready for your new story to begin?"

"Every time I read your blog I am so profoundly happy I did. The truth you speak is just mindboggling. The real, real voice you have. It makes me almost crazy how much I love your words and your way of telling stories that cut to the quick- and I never have the words to really say how much this all means to me.

You put out so many heartfelt blog pieces that touch my heart and move me down the right path at the right time. Pure beautiful magic girlie. I love you for this.

Thank you for digging in there and finding the gems of wisdom and then just sharing them out as if there's an endless supply ... which with you, there is."

"Thank you for sharing your wonderful, heartbreaking, exhilarating experience with the world."

"Thank You Laura for sharing, for teaching and spreading loving kindness. "

"I think I love you. You bring good things into my life, or remind me of things I love and know, but have let go of."

"Laura, you are so good for me. I laugh and sniffle and get the shivers when I read your essays. Thanks so much for letting all your wonderfulness run around loose."

"Heart-achingly beautiful, your words and how you reveal your truth."

"Thank you so much for who you are and what you share with the world. Your mere being transforms lives as it has transformed mine. This particular post did to my heart what water does to parched soil."

"Thank you for your gentle words that are packed full of wisdom. I have been struggling with the concept of what words can do to another person when they are negative words. Your words are the flip side of our word power, and shows how delightfully powerful kind words can be. Thank you."

"Once again Laura Lavigne takes you on an adventure of the heart. She has a way of pulling you right in the car with her. Asking you to consider changing a fear to taking thoughtful action. Whether she's teaching a class, leading a retreat or heading for a happiness sprinkling, Laura will invite you to shed old ways of thinking and be completely authentic. Join in!"

"Essentially pure love.
I enjoy how Laura is kind to herself and to us other humans who dance in and out of each other's lives. "

"Don't miss a post!
You can count on Laura for warmth, humor, charm, and a lift to your day and your heart. She inspires me to be braver than I am, and to love the world out loud. She's a gem, and a generous one at that!"
