“Romantic.” “Visionary.” “A contemporary dreamer.” “A warrior.”
The people who know me well —
the ones who love me —
describe me in many ways.
I smile as I feel myself blush.
I know it’s true. That’s who I am.
But I’d rather let others say it.
My purpose in life has always been to push myself to chase my dreams —
and never give up on them.
I know I’ve done that
with my usual pioneering and free spirit.
I’ve always nurtured my soul and imagination
by drawing from art,
poetry, theatre, and nature.
I wouldn’t be Laura
without poetry —
which I love to give voice to —
and therefore, without theatre.
The search for beauty in women of all ages and shapes
is my search too:
an endless source of life and joy.
The way I match the clothes I create with the words that inspire me —
that is the world I love most.
The one I protect, nourish, and cultivate.
Day after day.
