Published! (On a Full Moon!)

Hey everyone!

I hope the week is going well for you. Thereโ€™s a bit of chaos in the air, perhaps due to the full moon?

However!

Iโ€™m super excited to announce that my poem โ€œChoicesโ€ has been chosen to be published by SpillWords Press.

โ€œIn the depths of her mind, a dichotomy reigns
A never-ending tug-of-war between one and the same
Of shadows that creep in, like a thief in the nightโ€ฆโ€

Read the rest at SpillWords.

Some of you may remember reading this poem if you followed me back in June. I wrote it during a particularly heavy time when I wasnโ€™t sure what choice I was going to make regarding my career and whether or not I was going to leave my job at the time (SPOILER – I did!) lol ๐Ÿ˜†

Oddly enough – I generated this last night

Itโ€™s an honor that the lovely people over at SpillWords thought my poetry was good enough to publish – and I am ever grateful.

Also, how appropriate is it that one of my first published poems would be on the date of the full moon?


If the energy feels heavy right now – it is. Lots going on, itโ€™s a good night to stay home and lay low, until the chaos calms down. ๐ŸŒ•

Itโ€™s also a partial lunar eclipse!

  1. Congratulations, Laura. I love that poem. It is profound and well-written.

    I was going to remind you of the Harvest moon and eclipse–but of course, you know about it. No wonder one of my daughters was crabby this morning. She’s feeling overwhelmed.

    • Omg, thereโ€™s really something in the air. ๐ŸŒ• Itโ€™s in Pisces, which is my rising sign. ๐Ÿ˜ซ So Iโ€™m definitely feeling it! But itโ€™s a strong one. And yes, emotions are very heightened! Good and bad ๐Ÿ˜† thank you for thinking of me Mary! ๐Ÿ˜Š You can email me anytime of course, as always ๐Ÿ™ and I so do appreciate your kind words about the poem. I donโ€™t think itโ€™s one of my best actually, but it meant a lot to me at the time I wrote it. โค๏ธ
