Welcome to Notes by LaRue!
I am Deetra La’Rue, a 34-year-old Writer hailing from Alabama. I’ve been writing poetry passionately since the age of 14 and have recently expanded into self-help/motivational books. I recently published my first book, Glitter but no gold: How I turned my wounds into wisdom and am gearing up for the release of my second book, Let’s TALK! Conversations that need to be had, but often go undone. I’ve been through some pretty rough situations in my life, and I always remained quiet, because I just knew, there was no way no one could experience the things I had. But, after the release of my first book and realizing the commonality I had with others, I decided to start a website that would serve as motivation and encouragement to everyone all over the world! So many times, we find ourselves in detrimental situations that we feel we’ll never get out of. However, it doesn’t matter how your story starts, but how it ends, and you CAN DETERMINE how it ends! So, friends, (I don’t consider you to be a visitor, because that implies, you’re only here for a little while) you can expect to receive daily notes and positive affirmations that will help you find the very thing I found for myself…. happiness and freedom!
Writefully yours,
Deetra La’Rue
