 It’s easy to believe that “we’re aligned” when things go well and the road is smooth.
It’s The Bumps that teach us. The Bumps that will - for sure - show up. Again and again and again. Sometimes we will see them coming, there will be signs on the side of the road. Often we won’t. How we navigate The Bumps together is what tells us what we truly have. The Bumps speak to us about the quality of our relationships, our friendships, our work connections. Do we stand on the same side of the road when a tire explodes or do we point the finger, accuse, insult - or abandon each other? Do we look for solutions together or do we become the enemy, only looking for ways to blame and disengage? How do we repair? The Bumps will keep on coming. How - and IF - we repair will tell us the truth about our relationships. How sweet to find ourselves on the other side of a Bump, holding hands and smiling; grateful for what we learned and ready to ride more of this life together, feeling closer and stronger in our ability to change the next tire! How important to find out that what we thought was solid actually dissolves at the first downpour, spilling away in the gutter, suddenly empty of substance... The Bumps are our teachers and wherever they point the light is a Gift we are invited to pay attention to and embrace. May we learn to welcome their invitations to re-orient and eventually become grateful for their teachings. Comments are closed.

"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!" Me
