This morning I made a new cover photo for my Facebook page, based on an infographic I saw someone else had posted. The infographic in question was this: It hit me smack in the face with its truth. And when things hit me like that, I tend to try and repeat the experience. Not because [...]

3 Minutes to Vent
Grab yourself a drink, darlin’, because this may well earn the distinction of being the longest, most multifaceted, entirely ass-backward testimonial Laura’s ever gotten to date. If nothing else, you’ll be entertained by a peek into my mind…which is, what’s that quote? Something about your mind being a dangerous place to wander in alone? Yeah. [...]
Working Up the Nerve to Say It Out Loud
There is this thing in my life that’s been here for a long, long, long time. I’ve known about it for over 40 years, but have never spoken of it but with a trusted few. It is integral to who I am, yet I’m SOOOO intimidated to say it out loud, lest the world think [...]
Whole Lotta Riskin’ Goin’ On
After blogging here for over a year, I’ve come to a few conclusions: You can’t work with, hang with or converse much with Laura Biering without some riskiness rubbing off on you. Risk is integral to the larger picture of living a conscious life and that knowledge, for me at least, is what makes risking [...]
Risking Good for Great
I have a relationship in my life that is good. It serves me, it serves the other person. But as good as it is, it’s occupying the spot where a great relationship could be. Until recently, I didn’t think that was an issue. But it is. An issue, that is. The issue is this: two [...]
I’m Risking Taking a Day Off
For the past several months, I have been in crazy work mode, literally working 18 hours a day most days, weekends included. It all started back in November when I was asked to be a Founding Board Member for a new start-up company. I spent November and really all of December coding my patootey off [...]
All Relationships are ‘Real’
My friend, Janice, died yesterday. She was only 29. And I’m mad. And sad. And grateful to have known her. And blessed. I met Janice back in 2001, online. For the first couple of years, our friendship grew over the phone and instant messenger. She was half my age, but you’d never know it to [...]
Grace and Dry Eyes Are Not Required
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. ~ Washington Irving (1783 – 1859) I’ve been crying my eyes out for several weeks now. If the Irving quote has any truth to it at all, I’m on track to become Wonder Woman by Christmas. Why? This intentional [...]
Speaking My Truth, Voice Shaking
This picture was shared in Facebook anonymously, or at least it was anonymous by the time it made its way to me: I have no idea who took the picture, but it has been haunting me ever since I first saw it. It is no small thing to speak your truth, be your real self [...]
Me Through Someone Else’s Eyes – WOW
There is a V.I.P. in my life whom I’ve never met face-to-face. Until 3 days ago. Such a V.I.P. he is to me, that I never second guessed myself once about all the begging and pleading I’ve done to get him to come to Tulsa for a visit. Nary a nervous bone in my body [...]
