Hi! I’m Lara!

“You know all those things you’ve always wanted to do? You should go DO them!” – Lara

Hi! I built two beautiful businesses (acquired in 2022!) and I’m in a whole new season. I’m a grateful wife, Charlotte Mason homeschooler, unlikely gardener, former NYC personal trainer, and healthy living expert. I’m the creator of PowerSheets Intentional Goal Planner, founder of Cultivate What Matters, Southern Weddings magazine, and best-selling author of Make It Happen, Cultivate, and Gracie’s Garden. I love living in Chapel Hill, NC. I’m glad you’re here!

It can feel like time is fleeting at moments and m It can feel like time is fleeting at moments and moving too fast for us to catch up. Ari and I were talking last night about the various reflection points we’ve experienced in life. Some we plan with intention, others simply happen, and all shift our steps - even in small ways. Many times, though, those smaller shifts make the biggest changes in our direction. If a ship’s captain changes course by even a small fraction, the destination is different. The change of the seasons, meaningful holidays, milestones, anniversaries - of good things and hard things - and traditions help us pause, remember what matters, and consider our course. Grieving my dad has been one of these experiences lately, helping me see what matters and live more wholeheartedly right now. Quite simply: reflection reaps rewards. It’s so easy to forget the good and forget the big picture, but the pauses I’ve had in my PowerSheets over these many years, seasons, and months have helped me remember. I love the intentional process of remembering and taking small steps. It has never happened perfectly, but it has added up - just as my garden is full of weeds, yet it’s still a garden. I am eagerly looking forward to pausing again in a new set of PowerSheets (I chose Garden Arches!) to reflect, let go, and dream anew. May you all have peace and joy in your own reflection points. Consider the wildflowers. The small things really are the big things. Wildflowers from Grace and a favorite memory from the @cultivatewhatmatters shoot earlier this summer - what you can’t see is my sweet kiddos tossing flower petal confetti in the wings. They loved every minute!
