More recently Laura has written a personal story titled “It’s Not Weird Anymore” about her healing recovery from a serious accident, love relationship, personal growth, spiritual experiences, etc. After reading it Sheila Hay said if she did not know Laura personally she might not have believed it. The intention of the book is to tell an interesting story that teaches and doubles as a resource directory. “It’s Not Weird Anymore” is in the process of being edited and published soon.

“It’s Not Weird Anymore” is an eclectic soup of a love story, match.com, relationship, sex, natural healing methods, therapeutic medical grade essential oils, sound health advice, personal growth, metaphysical magick, archetypes, bellydancing, Feng Shui, spirit, wisdom, politics and conspiracy spun together as an entertaining teaching tool.

Warning: “It’s Not Weird Anymore” may expand the boundaries of your mind.

Dedication:

This book is dedicated to my beloved husband Peter and my incredible family, friends, their family and friends, my visible and invisible angels and all my amazing teachers and healers. “It’s Not Weird Anymore” is a tribute to all of you. Thank you for your genuine contribution in my life.

To Your Awakened, Metamorphosis, Love, Light and Freedom,

Laura
