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!

Even when I lose it. (Dear boyfriend)
Dear boyfriend, I don’t know how you do it. The Sunday before Christmas, I realized I was out of my anxiety medication. So, Monday, I emailed my doctor and another doctor in case mine was out of town. I didn’t …
All I want for Christmas is for it to be over.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Or not. It should be. I get that. But for me, I just can’t wait for it to be over. There are a million reasons to celebrate, but I’m crying more than …
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 …

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 …
