I know….don’t pass out….2 posts in a row for me. Well, it won’t be a habit.
I’m off to Phoenix for 3 weeks and then home to finish recovering. I don’t know how long it will be before we speak again. But here’s a little something to tell you I love you!
You’re hair rocks
You’ve got to stop straightening it girl!
Best of Luck!

Your hair is soooo cute! Good luck on your surgery! Lots of prayers for you!
Good luck my friend! I hope you have a super speedy recovery. Stay positive and laughing! You got this! Love you! Xoxo
Gah! I die!!! You’re so stinkin’ cute! I have adored you since I found your blog and still love to see you pop up on your blog or fb when you do. You have such a positive attitude about what you’re going through and I am just in awe. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with all of us. Good luck, mama!!! I’ll keep you in my prayers, because heaven knows we could all use some.
Reactions:
1) Your hair …so long.
2) Great word! If it is good enough for Bruce Wayne, then mostdef good enough for LCMF.
3) Shut it with the funeral talk.
4) I will never give up on a fellow Diet Coke drinker.
5) Good luck, friend!
My word for this year? Breathe.
And my theme? Letting go of people and things that aren’t serving me well, that are actively making me unhappy.
I have dark almost black hair. But I was nearly platinum blonde until I was 6 or so.
Dreams of death usually aren’t literal. They are representing an end to the current status quo.
Which you could certainly use. I believe that God has good things in store for you.
Prayers going up for your surgery. I can hear the fear in the tremulousness of your voice. But God has brought you this far. And your faith through your health issues has been so inspiring to me as I have walked my own journey of failing health. I will continue to pray for you.
Thank you for sharing with me.
And until we see you again…..
Thank you for the video post. I knew thus day was coming and am glad to know you are on the way to recovery. I’ll ponder a word for my year!
My heart aches for you, I can only imagine the fear and anxiety, but let’s just pray that when you RISE from your surgery that the sun will RISE on your life again. I know that you will do great and look forward to seeing more enjoyable posts from you soon. Rest and get better soon! I won’t give up on you or Less cake {more frosting}. Have that husband of yours keep us updated because you will have many many many people worrying, thinking and praying for you.
I’ll be praying for you! Say funny things when you’re under. I’ll be anxiously waiting to hear how you are feeling, so if you can get that man of yours to update it would be great.
Your hair is amazing! I love your curls!! As a stylist, I’ve seen many people attempting to get those cute little corkscrews that you’ve got, but yours are epic!
I’ll be praying, blogstalking, Facebookstalking, etc. You’re an amazing woman, Lara!!
Love you so much–and have to agree that your hair looks AMAZING! I have natural curls too! Sweetest video and post. We love you and will be praying for you and if there’s any chance of visiting you, I really want to come see you! Oh and RISE? It’s absolutely perfect. Sending lots of love from the girls at Vintage Rose Wraps!

I just met ya and I love ya..praying for you and your family..my word for the year is “faith” it can bring miracles..Hugs to you!
I just started reading through your blog…and dearie, don’t worry about losing friends and followers. If they are true and loyal, you will never lose them. They will all always be by your side through thick and thin. Isn’t that what friends do? Well, you just gained one. I admire your strength…because believe it or not you are strong, and you will get through this ordeal and come out even better than before. I’m glad I was directed to your site. You messages are very uplifiting. All of us have pity parties at times…and after reading all you have been through I ask myself, “REALLY, you think you have it rough”? No, I don’t there are others going through a lot more than I am!
I truly wish you the very best, and I will be subscribing and following as of today.
Hugs, good thoughts and prayers are being sent your way.

I have been a follower since back when you started this blog and can’t even explain how awesome and strong I believe you are. -and I only know you thru this blog.
With all the strength and faith I believe you have I do second the other commenter that says knock it off with funeral talk! Everything will be ok! So, you sweet beautiful lady I wish you all the best this year! You have been and will continue to be in my prayers! ! I hope all goes well with surgery and that recovery is smooth! Can’t wait to see you back here at LCMF! Sending a heart full of love and best wishes your way!

Best Wishes with your surgery! I am keeping my promise to do something for someone. As soon as you issued the challenge I knew who I would pick to do something for. Alright, I look forward to seeing you back here posting again.
Good luck with your surgery my friend. You are so strong and so amazing, and I am praying for nothing but the best for you in this upcoming year!
We will be praying that your surgery goes well! You are a constant inspiration to me!!
Good luck and we’ll all be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. You’re an inspiration to us all.
Honey, God will be with you through this rough space in your life. We will continue to pray for you to come through this with flying colors. Each night I will tip a glass of diet coke in your direction. Keep that curly headed smile and we can’t wait to hear an update from time to time. You are the sweetest person I know and I will be waiting to hear from you.
Love and hugs and prayers my dear friend.
Lara, you are wonderful and you make me smile! Best of luck in the coming weeks and months!
I’ll be thinking of you–GOOD LUCK!!!
I’ve long been a follower of your blog, but I think this is the first time I’ve posted. What a wild road you have been on these past few years and what grace and spirit you have shown through it all. You are a strong, vibrant woman and it’s clear to me that God has wonderful plans in store for you. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I love your word choice for this year! This shall certainly be a year of rising (uplifting) things!
Good luck Laura! This is going to be the ticket for you. I wasn’t going to do any new year resolutions this year, but in honor of you I am going to pick a word. Thank you for inspiring me. I will pray for you! Love you!
Good luck in your surgery my friend! You will be in our thoughts and prayers. BTW I LOVE your curly hair! It is crazy and fun just like you. I say rock what ya got! Love ya and hope everything goes perfectly!
LOVE the curly hair cute girl! I definitely won’t be giving up on you or your blog! Please post updates of your health. We all love you and need to know how you’re doing! I’ll be praying for you girlie!!!
Oh! And I have dreams of my funeral and am convinced that I’m going to die EVERY TIME I have surgery! My hubby gets mad at me cuz I start giving him directions on how to do my girls’ hair and what qualities his next wife has to have. All will be well!!!
Go with God! And….. ” need more cowbell!”. :0)
Thinking of you today! Prayers with you!
God is good. I don’t know you but I love your post. May God bless you through this.
This is the first year I am doing a word, and I am really excited about it. I chose reconnect, and have already found so many ways to use it.
Good luck on your surgery. Prayers are being said in your behalf.
Your curls are beautiful! Love them

Hang in there sweet gal–good thoughts & best wishes to you & your family!
I LOVE your blog! I wish you the most amazing care while you undergo surgery, and will pray for your healthy recovery. You are such an inspiration! My word of the year (my first time doing this) is “Tabula Rasa”, which I know is really two words, but “clean slate” fits my bill this year. I never do resolutions – b/c not reaching my goals leaves me feeling defeated, just like you said – but this year… I decided to join the One Word wave and chime in. I’m blogging about it on my own blog… and linking to your post here b/c it’s one of my inspirations! Thank you and we’ll see you on the flip side, for sure!
