Personal Essays by Laura Lee Carter

The Challenges and Rewards of Midlife Change, Spring 2007
      "In my late forties I got divorced, precipitating my deepest journey of self-discovery.  I wanted desperately to know who I was, beyond my relationships with others.  I wanted to know me, and then take full responsibility for myself for the rest of my life, no more blaming others for my dissatisfaction."

Extraordinary Courage, April 2007
      " Every day we wake up, not knowing what might happen today.  And still we get up and try to make the most of it.  This I call extraordinary courage."

Georgia Speaks, March 2007
     A personal essay about belonging, following your heart, the power of place and creative vision.

Love & Hope.  How I had to revisit a 25 year old romance, to find new love.

Luck in Love, Fall 2006
     A personal essay about finally finding the two loves of my life at age 50.

Writing & Menopause, Fall 2006
