S. LAURIN

Hi there - I'm Laurin.

 

This is my place, my space to share thoughts and ideas about life and the things I love most.

​

Reading

I believe in the power of exploring via page turns. Right now, I'm into memoirs (hello Becoming and Finding my Voice - Michelle and Valerie, I love you. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is an essential.), books on identity, health and wellness, psychology (Mindfulness by Ellen J. Langer is a book to live by), feminism (currently processing Why Patriarchy Persists), stories (An American Marriage - incredible), and social/political studies (The New Jim Crowe, Ghosts in the Schoolyard), and much more. I also subscribe to the Atlantic, the New York Times, and the Chicago Tribune. I am a failed Twitter addict multiple times over, but working on it.

​

Running​

This year I am running my fourth Chicago Marathon. Running is one of my most vital releases and beloved pass times, and I didn't discover it until my 20's - I ran my first marathon at 26. Whether you are just getting in to running, are entertaining (or dreading) the idea of getting into it, or are already an avid runner, let's talk running.

​

Giving back

...to my city, to the planet, just living gratefully and generously. It's important. Let's talk about it.

​

Doges

I have two absolutely adorable little pups - Mazie, a 13 year old sheltie mix, and Maya, a 2 year old Vizsla full of alltheenergy. I adore them. I could probably create an entire website dedicated to dogs, but because I don't have nearly enough discipline to manage two websites, here we are.

​

Food

Cooking it, eating it, everything food. I just need to talk about it.

​

Exploring

As I am writing this, I have yet to take my first trip out of the country. BUT, I am taking my first trip overseas this November to London, and I am SO excited! Still, whether overseas of exploring a new nearby small town, or even an undiscovered corner of my own city, exploring gives me life. 

Thanks for submitting!
