Laura’s values clarification and guiding principles: (a working, ever evolving synopsis and thought paper to be updated on a periodic basis and expanded upon in future blog posts)
Rule #1: do no harm. no harm to others, no harm to yourself.
Rule #2: it’s all of us or none of us – everyone is part of the divine family, completely necessary and has gifts/abilities to share
Rule #3: I have unique gifts to share that are empowered by God and needed in this moment (and so do you!)
Rule #4: growth & change are an inevitable gift
Rule #5: God is real and provides
Rule #6: Life is Good
Rule #7: Helping people is healthy for the person who helps
Rule #8: Lifestyle adds up (exercise, eat well, sleep enough, rest, develop relationships, have hobbies)
Rule #9: Honesty is the best policy
Rule #10: Creativity is the center of my life and the essence of health. some people call it mindfulness, the God within.
Rule #11: The earth is sacred, alive, provides medicine, and needs to be deeply respected, appreciated and protected.
Rule #12; Be kind and generous – it’s self sustaining
I felt the need to clarify what I believe is true and good, and what is necessary for me to be aware of in this moment as guiding principles for my life. I will update this on an ongoing basis and expand on the ideas in separate blogs.
