February 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Ken has been helping me build a new site to showcase my consulting work. My first draft is up, and I’ll be making edits for the next few weeks, but for now check out www.laurawilliams.org. I love the fancy headers that Ken built for me from his photography. So pretty.

All we need is love. . .

The passage of California’s Prop 8 made me mad, made me frustrated, but most importantly broke my heart. In a world torn by injustice, corporate greed, and war I cannot think of any reason to stop, limit, or deny love. Keith Olbermann says it even more eloquently than I can.
I don’t much about the world, [...]

So many Seeds of Compassion. . .
April 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment
So, I have left my precious blog alone for far too long. My work-life, as always, came in like a storm. Now I’m sitting in the aftermath dazed and confused. Well, actually it’s great. I’m still working for Seeds of Compassion, but now we get to do the basic aftermath of thank you notes and [...]

Vermont Fallen
May 9th, 2007 · No Comments
I write under the name of “VTgirl” since I am, in fact, from southern Vermont. It was a great place to grow up — a small town where everyone literally knew your name. It was definitely a rural community and when we graduated high school some of us went onto college, [...]

My New Lazy Green Lifestyle!
April 24th, 2007 · 1 Comment
It is cruel and unusual punishment that I told all my family and friends about writing a blog and then I got sick and haven’t touched it for a week or two. I have so much to chat about too. Birthdays, gardens, and a thousand thank yous to my friends and family for [...]

Vote Watch!
February 24th, 2007 · No Comments
I used to be in politics. Well, maybe I’m still in Politics. . . I don’t know what I want to say about that — it’s a bigger discussion.
I used to follow every vote and every issue in detail daily. However, as I have moved away from working on capitol hill or [...]
