Being Inspired: Embarking on a Creative Journey With Laura Allen

My creative work takes various forms, including poetry, prose, inspirational essays, songwriting, scripts, and stories, all inspired by the life around me. Writing has been a continual source of catharsis for me. I hope that my readers will also find healing, inspiration, and joy when they experience my work.

From a young age, I have had a strong creative drive, using various mediums to express my deepest thoughts and emotions. Creative writing proved to be the channel that allowed me to release what was in the very depths of my soul. Expressions of joy and sorrow, deep thoughts, and observations of life find their medium in the form of poetry, prose, inspirational essays, songwriting, scripts, stories, and sermons. The inspiration for my creative work is everywhere and anytime, seeking to flow from my sensitive spirit to the printed page in one form or another. While the writing process itself has been continually cathartic to me over my lifetime, it is my utmost desire that it brings healing, inspiration, and joy to my readers as well.

Through writing, I have been able to capture the richness of life around me in various forms, such as poetry, prose, inspirational essays, songwriting, scripts, stories, and teachings.

Life in Ink: Books by Laura A. Allen

"The Leafless Tree" by Laura A. Allen is a story about a tree that remains bare and leafless while all the other trees around it bloom and flourish during the spring season. The tree becomes isolated and lonely, as the other trees and animals assume it is dead. However, when a bird decides to build its nest in the leafless tree during the next spring, the tree begins to feel a sense of joy and belonging. Despite its appearance, it starts to reach out towards the sun and the other trees, and eventually, buds appear on its branches, transforming it into a magnificent tree with lush leaves. The story is a metaphor for resilience and the power of inner strength, reminding readers that appearances can be deceiving and that there is always hope, even in the most difficult of times. It also highlights the importance of connection and support from others, as the bird's presence and the laughter of the other trees play a significant role in the tree's transformation. Overall, "The Leafless Tree" teaches the reader about the beauty of nature, the resilience of life, and the power of finding joy even in the most challenging circumstances.

When the teeny tiny mouse moves from the field into the great big house, he's pleased with his surroundings. He loves exploring and eating the crumbs from the kitchen floor. There is one person, though, who is not happy with the mouse's new digs. Mr. Billings is not pleased there is a mouse in the house and sets traps to get rid of the new guest. But Mr. Billings' kids think a mouse in the house is cool, and they convince him to be their friend. They feed him, play with him, and even warn him about where the traps are set. Based on a true story, Mouse in the House tells the tale of one little mouse who lives on, eager to entertain and educate. Just as life is full of lessons to learn, this story offers topics for guided discussion, including fear, empathy, acceptance, and rightness.
