Who’s Laurie?
The voice behind Living Marvelously
Hello! I’m Laurie
And welcome to Living Marvelously
This site exists in honor of my mom, Marvel. She passed away from breast cancer in 2002 at the age of 66. She was a fun, beautiful woman who taught us so much and was loved by so many.
When I watched her life get cut short with so many adventures still to be had, I felt called to share my thoughts and feelings toward making the most of life.
And thus the launch of Living Marvelously, a platform through which I share ways for you to make the most of this beautiful adventure that is life.
Too often we sit on the sidelines and watch the highlights of other people’s lives. It’s time to start living the life you want and dare to put yourself first.
Making the Most of Your Marvelous Life
My goal is to discover ways to make life more fun and fulfilling!
How do I do that?
I’ve been married for over 30 years to my husband Dave and we raised 3 beautiful children. I’ve worked in Human Resources, several administrative jobs, and as Office Manager for a Property Management company for 10 years learning everything and doing everything that needed to be done. It was time to step back and discover something new.
In May 2018, my three kids are out of the house and living on their own, and I’ve found myself with extra time to start doing the things I love to do. It is time for me to stop sitting on the sidelines of my life and chase my own dreams. I quit my full-time job to pursue my passion for writing and reading and to share everything I am learning with you.
I believe that we have the power to control our own happiness and to make the most of our lives.
On my blog, you will find ways to love yourselves and each other, live a life on purpose, and make your dreams come true. I want you to feel loved, joyful, happy, fulfilled, empowered, and aligned.
I’d love for you to join me on this journey so we can figure out how to make the most of this life together.
I even wrote a book about it! It’s called, The 5 Ls of Living Marvelously, and is available on Amazon now. Check it out!
