Where have I been?

It has been a hot minute since I have shared anything with the world. So grab a cuppa whilst I catch you up.

On 29th February 2020, I held an event in Leeds. I had tried to change the date to April but was having no luck with it. I checked in with my spirit crew and they were adamant that 29th February 2020 was the day of the event…a little bit annoyed, I carried on as instructed.

Little did I know that only a month later, we would be in our first UK lockdown and I wouldn’t see anyone face to face for months to come.

Just a few weeks later, I was diagnosed with Covid but at that time there were no tests. I was told to stay in bed. I have never really been one for praying but I begged God/The Universe/Angels/Everyone who could hear me to let me get through it. And I did. However, I had no idea that long Covid was a thing and that it would take me well over a year to start feeling like myself again.

My physical health meant I had to learn to discard all my roles in life and strip it right back to just being me.

I did not have the energy to stay out of bed past 5pm for months. I was too tired to play with my kids properly but did my best with our homeschool and watched a heck of a lot of movies with them.

I couldn’t be the shoulder I had been previously been to my friends, family or clients because I simply didn’t have the energy for myself, let alone anyone else. I closed the doors and really went within. How ironic, that I lost the use of my left shoulder for a few weeks at this time too!

June 2020 was a time when those words “this too shall pass’, became a lifeboat I clung to whilst I was flung around what felt like rough seas. Fortunately, those days did indeed pass and I spent the next couple of months birthing my Get REAL Programme into existence. I launched it for the first time in September 2020 and fell head over heels in love.

More lockdowns and a Christmas away from loved ones, plus long term heart issues due to Long Covid had me reassess life again and I took my foot off the gas in all areas.

My energy started to come back and a thirst for something new began to build.

All through my childhood I would move home at least every 2 years and I had been living in my home at the time for 7 years - I had never lived anywhere as long in my whole life…I had itchy feet.

Having stayed home for a year, it was becoming clear we needed a new space with more room. Could I really move house in a global pandemic? Was that really a thing I needed to do after such an exhausting year? If we have met, you will know once I get an idea, that is it. Action stations. I began my search for a new home.

March 2021 and I found a possible contender. This house was my dream house from way back in 2007. I remember looking around the show home of the same house type and wondering whether little old me would ever be able to afford something like that. Now, its 2021 and prices have gone up just a touch, but financially this was a go. So I paid my reservation fee and got all excited. I accepted an offer on my house in less than a week so knew this was a sign that moving was definitely the right thing for me but something was niggling me about my “dream” house. I couldn’t put my finger on it, so pushed on with forcing things to happen.

Lol! When will I ever learn?

If serious force is needed to push something forwards - please check in with yourself, you are missing something. Hard work is required, yes but serious force, suggests something is not in alignment.

I sat down to check in on what was happening - this was not my dream house. But it was - I had it on my vision board in 2007 ffs. And there it was. I was not 2007 Laura anymore. My dreams are not the same. My energy is in a completely different place and so is my mindset. I no longer question whether “somebody like me can have what she wants”, I do the mindset and energy work and then I go out there and get it.

Fortunately, my “dream” house still didn’t have a first floor and due to repeated screw ups with contracts, we hadn’t even exchanged. So one Saturday night, I opened my trusty Rightmove page and started looking - as if by magic, a house I had never seen but had apparently been for sale the whole time appeared in front of my eyes. Could this be my ACTUAL DREAM house? Surely not…it couldn’t be that easy, could it?! The next morning I drove out, broke in to the site and had a little look around.

A front wall and gate. Check. 2 tone kitchen. Check. Double oven at eye level. Check. Kitchen Island. Check. Massive hallway. Check. Fireplace with stove. Check. Massive garden. Check. Gorgeous patio. Check. In the Yorkshire countryside. Check.

This was my dream house.

On Monday morning I booked an actual viewing and the next day I made an offer. Less than one month later and I moved into that house.

I now live in my dream home and have been here for about 7 weeks.

Every morning, I wake up and I have that feeling like I am on holiday. I am so happy here. My kids love it. It is everything I could have asked for. And it showed up, granting my wishes, before I even knew what they were.

Life has a funny way of working itself out, of carrying us where we need to go with a little direction from our thoughts. When our energy is clean and clear and we are in alignment with our true desires, it can be easy.

I have done so much energy work to get here but I truly know the value of it and what it can do for your life and business. I am living in the energy of peace, love and above despite being aware of what is going on out in the world. It is the only way I can get through life, to change what I have control over and to find peace within my own life. Until, I am in that space, I cannot help anyone else achieve it.

But I am here now. And I am helping my clients do the same, in the face of uncertainty, fear, illusion, and at a time when it is very difficult to feel safe.

I know I am privileged to be here and a part of me was scared to share this with you because what if you thought worse of me, for doing this for myself when so many other people are struggling and then I remembered. I cannot be the light for anyone else, if I don’t get real with myself first. I have worked hard to turn my light back on, there is no shame in that. From this place, I can now do more to help.

So if you are struggling, I am here. There is still possibility in the world, you can still play. Your happiness still matters. But most of all your peace and your freedom matter.
