Savoring life to me means
living with deep appreciation, love and respect for the many gifts I have been
given. Making the time to journal is one of the ways I reflect, savor and appreciate
the simple treasures which add so much meaning to my life. A few things I am
currently savoring...
I savor leisurely mornings,
gently nudged awake by only the sunshine peeking through my window or a morning
when I don’t particularly want to get up and my husband surprises me with a hot
cup of coffee in my favorite turquoise flowered mug. I savor the grinning,
magenta tipped rose sitting on my bedside table, feverishly yelling “hello,
come draw me” and taking the time to do it. I savor time to myself and seeing
someone smile, especially if I helped put it there. I savor my silly little
kittens who are always in the moment and quick to forget the past. They remind
me to pause, play and be present to someone other than myself.
I savor my deep, generous
friendship with my confidant & business partner Tina Hirsig. She has
enriched and forever changed my life through her perspective and her “being” in
the world. I savor all that I have learned from her about acceptance, following
your dreams, staying the course and riding the waves. I savor relationships, my
family, understanding and people who help me be a better person and live with
an open heart. All of these magnificent gifts make my life rich with meaning
and full of love.
With gratitude,
Laura
Bio
Laura Gaffke had
the pleasure of growing up in New Hampshire where she was fortunate to have the
mountains, city and seacoast all within close reach. Her diverse surroundings
imprinted a deep connection with nature and compassion for the environment. It
also invoked a desire to explore such places as England, Norway, Paris and the
whispered magic of the Amalfi Coast. She believes happiness is a state of mind
that can travel with you anywhere. Her vibrant use of color reflects this
positive attitude and the joy she seeks both within and the world around her.
Laura finds inspiration and meaning in tranquil mornings alone with her
journal, in the hushed beauty of a freshly picked iris, engaged in rich
conversation with friends and on peaceful beach walks which quiet her busy
mind, giving form to new ideas.
