I am Looping Laura. Thanks for checking out my blog! I am a mom, a writer and a lover of music and books. I'm on the beautiful journey of self discovery and my hope is to spread some lightness in these dark times. I encourage others to share their stories, their trauma, their pain and their healing. It has been so therapeutic for me. I'm finally learning to love my crazy. We all should! Enjoy!

I spent an hour looking for a meme that I could post to express my anger about all the hate being spewed on social media. I couldn’t find one because they all seemed so mean-spirited and that would just make …

No love for the haters.
I haven’t written much lately. I guess I haven’t felt inspired. But whenever this happens, I know that if I just give it some time, the universe will speak to me and the words will start flowing again. I write …
Don’t you judge me.
I’m making a vow, right now, to never use someone’s past against them if they have made a conscious effort to be better. We do it all the time. Every day. Especially now that everything seems to be so politically …
Triggered.
There is a word that has become quite popular in the past two years. It’s a word that is the main theme in many of my articles, mainly “The Lingering Effects of Assault”. The word is “trigger” and if you’re …

Halloween this year was quite significant for me. Every year, I go all out. I spend a lot of time on my costumes. I take it very seriously, and a few years I have even won the top prize at …
No, I didn’t let myself go. I just let go.
I make fun of myself a lot. I do that because it makes me feel better about the things I’m insecure about. And because I don’t want anyone to really know that I’m insecure about it because that just makes …
