Life Lessons

You can’t make this sh!t up!

April 6, 2018 by Laurie Walters

I wrote a post last week about practicing what you preach and today was the day of my big adventure.  I expected to walk away from the conference feeling inspired and motivated.  What I didn’t expect was a collision of synchronicities that turned today into a display of full-blown magic.  Let me preface the story by … [Read more…]

Practice what you preach

March 27, 2018 by Laurie Walters

Growth is all about stepping outside of your comfort zone.  When something is scary (not 6th sense, gut feeling, scary) but, you know, normal scary… that fear is generally stemming from the unknown.  Recently, I was put in a situation at work that left me feeling uncomfortable.  There is an annual admin conference that my … [Read more…]

Trust your intuition

December 1, 2017 by Laurie Walters

Intuition.  We all have it… that sixth sense… that gut feeling… that voice in you head that tells you to do something different then what you were planning on doing.  Granted, some people’s intuition may be stronger or more developed than others but regardless it is a vital tool that shouldn’t be ignored.  In fact, … [Read more…]

Lessons from nature: impermanence

November 22, 2017 by Laurie Walters

I am very fortunate to live across the street from a lake.  This blessing gives me the opportunity to not only be close to water -my grounding element, but it also allows me to witness so much wildlife.  In 2010, a family of Mute Swans landed for the summer.  That winter, dad stayed behind with … [Read more…]

The Lights Festival

November 5, 2017 by Laurie Walters

A couple years ago while surfing the web, I came across a light festival that was held in the desert somewhere on the West Coast.  The images contained a night sky being illuminated by thousands of paper lanterns.  That image stuck with me and has been on the top of my bucket list ever since.  … [Read more…]

Learning the Art of Acceptance

September 22, 2017 by Laurie Walters

One of the things that I believe is that there is always positive that can be pulled out of not-so-positive times.  It’s really one of the cornerstones of what StayWonderfull is about.  The biggest is finding beauty and wonder in the world.  But it’s not always easy to see it and when this is the … [Read more…]

The magic of the mountains

August 23, 2017 by Laurie Walters

This past weekend we took a quick trip up to Vermont with another couple.  There is a cidery up in Middlebury that puts on a “Ciderbration” event each year and we decided it would be fun to go back and visit.  The last time that we were there was about three years ago. I was … [Read more…]

Words from the soul

February 7, 2017 by Laurie Walters

As I mentioned on my meet wondergirl page, I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery these last two years.  Part of this journey involved a private blog where I documented my feelings, emotions and lessons that I’ve been learning during my journey.  From time to time, I like to reflect back on these writings for reminders, … [Read more…]

Feel the rain

January 19, 2017 by Laurie Walters

While on vacation, I had the most wonderful lesson in being open and present.  We came back from our morning excursion and the sun was shining bright, there was no breeze, and the flat ocean was an incredible shade of blue.  I couldn’t wait to float around on the Caribbean Sea with no worries of … [Read more…]
