What this means to me is that I have to notice if what I am doing is life afirming, or life draining. And I have to keep identifying what is fun, and do more of that. Yet, what is fun can also mean what brings pleasure, like the sweat that rises from a task well done, even a task that is not fun. Hmmmm. What IS fun? What IS more life?

Laura, I am sitting with Frederic and reading your email aloud...we are saddened, we are hopeful--knowing your spirit is fierce and very alive, we are ready to support you in any way that is useful and for now, just know that we are sending very positive energy to you and holding you in our caring and loving thoughts.
Love, Frederic and Pam

Laura -
Your spirit is interminable, as is your inspiration and effect on my life. I am honored to be among those included on your communications list. You are in my prayers and I see you smiling joyously and doing something like a Sufi dance, with arms outstretched and head flung back.
In my experience, fun is what happens when you let go, surrendering into who you really are, tapping into your true passion. Getting in touch with who you really want to be and then moving through the fears that stand in your way. Fun is on the other side of those fears.
The Universe is pushing you to learn all you can about fun and life; I believe you are up to the challenge!
Much, much, love and light....

Fun is knowing that I can connect with you on any corner of the Earth ... fun is getting a giggle from seeing your photo with your cute, short, sassy, curly hair ... fun is finally getting my phone line repaired 5 weeks after Hurricane Emily ... fun is blogging for my first time ever ... and major fun is getting my braces off in 3 days to reveal my killer smile! Photos forthcoming!

Wow! I am so deeply touched by your messages, and saddened too. And I envision you with your brightest smile, and Judy's right beside you... as in that beautiful picture with the cow - that is on our altar. Thank you!
I light a candle for your healing and will continue to do so regularly. I send you much joy and love and add my offer of support - let me know what I can do.
As for my life, I am experiencing the joy of a wonderful, loving relationship for the first time in a long time - and we just celebrated our first anniversary (yes, a year!). Travelling with Jack brings me great joy, and laughing and being teenagers again. It's about time, wouldn't you say? You can see our photos from Central Europe at http://joaniescentraleuropepics.dell.shutterfly.com/ action/
Am holding you and Judy in the light, dear Sister, and sending infinite love to you both.

Hi my dear friend laura
Well the first thing i must say is "Bloody hell, i mean for fu~*s sake! "
Now that can be fun....swearing out loud and shouting....Oh i know in professional coaching lingo we call it clearing...and well...its fun!!!
I am just back in office today after a months holiday. Read this and came straight here.
And what a bastard! (oops more fun/clearing!) You will find your unique powerful inspiring way through this journey Laura, of that i have no doubts.
There was an old quote from a nun in the healing centre i used to manage in the UK, I will look it up...and the jist of it is "all will be well, all will be well, all manner of things will be well."
You have inspired living well. and you have this mantra More fun more life more often....I love it.
The best teachers i have on this right now are my 4 and 2 year old daugthers...I will bring you pictures at leader days in sept.
Hope you get back from your healing journey for sept leader days, just so i can show you these great teachers.
Well, see the thing is, with Amelia and Angelike (my daughters) - well, everything seems to be fun, or its a state of play that they live in and can return to very quickly. A piece of string becomes a belt around a golden horse, a white piece of paper and a blue crayon becomes a picture of the wind, A skip and a jump becomes a new show.
And from what they are teaching me, its all about being in the now and being playful in the now and simply imagining....
I forgot as i grew older. And they are reminding me we are here to have fun, to imagine and dream and create, to live well as you say.
I bet you are going to have lots of ways to remember to live with more fun.
Princess Laura....The princess of FUN, LIFE ALWAYS (always is just much more you than often).
Leaning in with love light and glorious playful energy, even with a sad heart from time to time.
I love you
Andy

Well Laura, I've been reading these wonderful posts, from wonderful human beings, and I'm so glad to be part of this community that you have helped to bear.
For me, stretching, growing, and learning are fun and fulfilling. Leaning into the wind. Finding nuggets of wisdom in the most mundane or challenging circumstances... And sharing these deep insights, nuggets, this is also fun.
You know about Dan's journey/battle/marathon (O'Marathon), which we have come through together. The sharing of the journey, which required reflection on my part, was very rewarding. And we too had a blog of sorts, using CaringBridge.org.
As sad/angry/unbelievable as I feel about your most recent news, I also feel hopeful/determined/blessed to participate and share in this with you. I thank you for sharing. I know you will unearth some incredible pearls, and also inspire us all to unearth our own through this process.
My love, prayers, positive healing energy and passion to partner with you some more on our bigger games....

Dear Laura and Judy,
You are in my thoughts and prayers always.
See you soon.
Love, Serena

Dear Laura,
More fun! More Life! More often! How much fun to be on the second half of my 2 part honeymoon here with Mark in the Tuscany region of Italy. Drinking good red local wine, eating crusty homemade bread dipped in peppery olive oil seasoned with salt and homegrown basil harvested from a pot downstairs, sitting out on a bench in a little village (Castelmuzio near Pienza) relishing the time to "take time" and just savoring the beauty of our world replete with vineyards, olive trees, long afternoon shadows, and soft light--all these things must be contributing to living well. Laura, i am so grateful to you for your leadership, your encouragement, and your edginess which has helped me push further and be more comfortable with telling people the truth instead of always being held back for fear of not "being nice." Mark and I lit a candle and said a prayer for you in this beautiful old church in Pienza about an hour ago, praying for you to have strength,healing, peace and to be surrounded by the love of many, many friends. I send lots of love to you on your journey.
love, Betsy Rodriguez

Hello dear friend,
I have been thinking about you and Judy and your adventure in Reno and beyond. I hope that all is going well and that you are reaching the strength that you need right now to live you life with more fun. I have been on a cleanse for a couple of weeks and had the opportunity to retire deeply into myself and free up a whole lot of energy in my body for healing. I am just about to go play with John in Carmel tomorrow. Gari and I are sending you our love and holding a beautiful picture of your radiance! Can't wait to hug that radiance. Love to you and Jude. Blessings and cuddles, Bonnie

Fun is little girl kisses first thing in the morning - when their breath still smells of candy dreams and fairy flights. Fun is my little boy's 4-tooth smile when he first spots me in the morning as if to say, "I'm so glad you're here! I never thought I'ld see you again! :-)

I've loved leaning into our battle cry of More Fun!More Life!More Often!
It means I get up off the sidelines where I can safely observe the goings-on, and join in the action. It means I jump on the trampoline with Skyler and Jack; it means lolling on a park bench with Claire and Caitlin laughing at the antics of the chipmunk; it means skating - on ice!- around and around with my cousins as my ankles wobble, Christmas songs blare, and I tense in anticipation of falling.
Guess what I learned ice skating today in Colorado - that like much of life, if I raised my eyes off the path, if I sank into my center, if I kept my feet moving, leaned forward, if I remembered that I was here having fun, if I could quit thinking about the pain of falling - then I just skated easier, faster, surer. Imagine that . . .
I kept being overwhelmed by emotion as I watched our sweet teenagers go round and round, kept thinking thank God for the wonderful women that showed up to love my boy cousins. And little tow-headed Olivia's "where's Beeze?" Is there anything more satisfying than the wet kiss of a trusting small child, or the way my 16-year-old niece snuggles by me on the couch. Its good, this life.

Dear Laura and Jude,
First time this year, methinks. Sorry about the long time! I'm in Park City, UT now, enjoying lots of snow -- or I should say, inside looking out at it, nice and warm. With my pal Jack, who's volunteering at Sundance Film Festival. Love the pictures on this site, and my prayers are so very with you both. Know that one of your sisters has been following your advice to have fun! Hoping to ski a bit... and relax!
With much love, Joanie

Thinking of you with love Laura. Thinking of all that you do to improve this world and about how many lives you touch and make a real difference. I can still feel your gentle energy and feel your hugs. Thanks so much for continuing to make such a meaningful difference in my life. Sending lots of energy, spirit, love your way.
