I will start off with one of my favorite quotes of all time from the show “Everwood”. Does anyone remember that show? I used to be obsessed with it! It is a bit long, but great to think about… “The more things change, the more they stay the same. I’m not sure who the first [...]
I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day. Over the years it has meant different things to me, nonetheless I’ve still enjoyed it. As a kid it meant making valentines for all the kids in my class, receiving valentines, getting candy and other goodies from my parents and grandparents. It meant having a special note or treat in [...]

Looking ahead. The future. Moving forward. This column is calling Looking Ahead with Lauren because it can be anything I want it to be, just like the future. The future is a strange place. It is a place that doesn’t exist yet. Every minute our future becomes our present based on the decisions we make [...]
It’s discouraging, isn’t it, to watch ourselves fall repeatedly into our same old habitual traps. We try to practice mindfulness, but it can be frustrating. Do you ever have days where you’re so caught up that you realize only at night, despite your best intentions, that you weren’t mindful for even one moment? And it’s [...]
