I'm an earthy, artsy landscape designer with degrees in ornamental horticulture and landscape architecture.     I've worked for the National Park Service, an environmental communication firm, design-build firms, and 15 years ago I started my own landscape design business.     My dad died a few years ago.  While I was at the hospital in his final days I started to redesign the green space that I used as my recharging place. It was just a patch of grass with a flagpole in the middle. I needed a place to connect with the earth, feel the sun on my face, and find my center. The design process started as a fun creative activity. I realized that, like me, many people could benefit from a restorative kind of landscape. Not just friends and family that visited, but hospital staff and patients as well.   I wanted to create a place inspired and uplifted. I wanted to create a place where you could restore and rejuvenate, a place where you could connect with the earth and allow that energy to rejuvenate your soul. This was the birth of "The Inspired Landscape."       In this episode, Karen and Laura discuss:  Success Story of Laura Commit to Get Leads   Trust and believe in the universe.

Laura shared openly about her father passing and creating a living legacy on the hospital grounds where he was treated before he transitioned. She spoke about how this project helped her to transform her own grief.   Some of the key aspects of this conversation:  Know that loved ones passing doesn't mean they are gone, they just transition into a new form. Love your way through grief and find ways to create and be inspired by the loved one who has died.  Listening to Abraham Hicks (this is a stream of consciousness that Esther Hicks channels) is an excellent way to connect to your inner self and a higher stream of consciousness, with the focus being on tuning into your inner being and intuition.  Habits Laura does to heighten her own intuition: meditation for 15 - 20 minutes/daily, find ways to be happy (create a playlist, dance in the kitchen, focus on what you appreciate), take regular walks in the woods and nature  Laura's 'Get Happy' playlist includes:  Live life -Zayde Wolf Born for this - Andy Grammar Beautiful Life - Nick Frandiani Looking Up - Safety suit Good Rain - Trevor Hall Phoenix - Olivia Holt My calling - AJR I am light - Indie Arie
