Relive action, drama, and romance in My Unusual Life, an autobiography that chronicles a determined spirit with twists and turns - a time, in retrospect, full of life, rife with humor, and not without challenges. This is the story of Laurie, a woman who reinvents herself time and time again.Her love of a challenge and desire to be on the Olympic team after meeting two athletes back from the 1964 Olympics, resulted in her actually making the 1968 Olympic team. Her time during college working as a temp for Skindiver magazine, ignited her wanderlust and desire to become a magazine editor. After graduating from UCLA, she was hired at a little-known magazine called Architectural Digest and rose to Features Editor. She indulged her love of art and writing. She took multiple trips to Europe and had the opportunity to work with famous writers, artists, celebrities, politicians, and many creative icons from the 1970s. She married briefly in the late 1970s - a tumultuous abusive nightmare that paralyzed her sensibilities. After this chasmic low, and despite two therapists saying that she should be in a padded room after her experience, she carried on with quiet resolve, resolute determination, and a divorce. She threw herself into her work, surrounded herself with her supportive friends, and continued on. She worked in the world of magazines and newspapers for twenty years. The chapters on 'How to Be Married' chronicle her healing and her decades-long marriage filled with harmony, humor and happiness
