“Mr. Luna, Hey Tony! I've only just recently returned from trekking with a small cohort of five mates in the spectacular Dolomites in the Italian Alps where on the last day of our trip we got to try (for the first time in my life) the via Ferrata style of climbing! The purpose of the trip was to test our idea as a working prototype for a new business model of mine: THE MASTERCLASS PHOTO DESTINATION

This is the perfect overlap of my three vocations:

+TEACHING

+EXPLORING

+VISUAL STORYTELLING

The BIG idea now is to offer these photo safaris to everyone for Spring / Fall of 2023 as adventure destinations to the far corners of the world *(Patagonia, Namibia, New Zealand, Greenland, etc.,). This wonderful overlap of passions and profession is the result of my long term personal project around the Japanese idea of 'ikegai', or perhaps better known as my reason for being!

Any and all interested parties feel free to DM me at my INSTA:

Thank you kind sir!”

“Hi Everybody, I am very excited to announce that my film, "Between the Shells", will screen at Temple Israel of Great Neck in New York on Sunday October 15th at 6 pm. It is my privilege and honor that the late Jalil Harooni, master seashell artist allowed me to tell the story of his art and life. Thank you Harooni family for opening your home and your hearts and sharing your story. Thank you Sephardic Heritage Alliance and Temple Israel of Great Neck for making this event happen.

This is a free event and I am very much looking forward to seeing those of you who are in the New York area at the time!

- LAURA ELLIOTT- Author, Ghostwriter

Create a Clear Vision

Learn how I transformed my own writing business. The key is getting intentional. I’ll introduce you to the resources I used to grow my  business from nothing to nearly six figures.

:::::

If you're reading this edition of Laura's Magic Monthly, it means you’ve been taking big and small steps to make your writing and/or career dreams a reality. And on the way you’ve needed to “do the thing that was scary.” You are brave and I am proud of you.

EVERY step matters.

Making progress and having the courage to continue each day will help you feel confident and in control no matter what your goal. You have to keep moving.

Inertia causes fear to gain a foothold and can look like this ––

❗️I don’t know if I can write this (YOU CAN)

❗️I don’t know if I should write this (YOU SHOULD AND THEN DECIDE HOW YOU FEEL)

❗️Isn’t there someone else more qualified to write this? (THERE’S NO ONE LIKE YOU)

Thoughts like these just mean you're coming into your purpose. Doubts are actually a good sign. Knowing how to address those doubts is an important process of writing.
