The Lauren Chronicles
Past Blogs 2013-May 2025
I'll be using the Substack platform to publish my essays now. I invite you to join me there. It's only Life After All.
Here you will find my essays (2013 to mid-2025) about hiking and home, love, loss, and resilience. Also cats, the state of the world--and of my garden.

The countdown begins.
How does your garden grow?
Dirty hands, light heart.
Go. Stay. Go.
The open road. The cozy hearth.

The path forward
We can breathe. We can imagine a future we want to inhabit.
Take the heat
What if the solution is part of the problem?
Can’t take the heat?
What my pal Alexis (A) Imara (I) has to say about the heat.
Tripping, not falling

Everything you didn’t want to know about yellowjackets. You’re welcome.
I ‘ve got a little list
The joys of list-making.
My private Camino
There’s no place like home. Unless it’s Galicia.
Who he is/Who we are
It is up to us.
You be you
Be a BETTER VERSION of you.
Judge much?
We ALL live in glass houses. We ALL cast stones.
Believe in me
To be seen is to be believed.
Lost in thought
Ah, that damned inner narrative
Cat Got Your Tongue?
Express yourself! With care.
Literally…
Really? Think about it.
Closer to fine
Music, activism, humility, generosity, longevity. The Girls.
Spudophilia
All hail, Axomamma, potato goddess!
