Dear Friends,
I normally don’t post back-to-back, but since I was on holiday break and upon my return, I have been unexpectedly surprised with more praise for my book, Ever So Gently. I apologize if these posts are getting a bit old, but how can I not share? From Brian’s fabulous post to Kym’s, along with 4 amazing reviews from Kimber, Darlene, Gwendolyn, and Yvette. You can find reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
Okay, now it’s time for some happy dancing on Cloud 9! Join me if you’d like! 💃😍🎶

A peek at Kym’s lovely words:
“Lauren’s latest book of poetry is an intimate tapestry of love, wonder, gratitude, and an impeccable scale of observation stroking the tender senses of family, the sherbet-colored skies and sounds of nature, the celebration of life and unconditional love, along with a sense of being. Lauren’s poignant reflections make us wonder about the larger picture of life, connecting to us intimately and passionately.“

Thanks again, Kym! You gave me more reason to dance! Big hugs to you! 🎊🎉❤️
And another thanks to you all who have read my book and written amazing reviews! I am beyond grateful! ❤️🙏
As always, I appreciate your visits! ❤️

Aww, thanks, Selma, for your lovely words and support, my friend. You lent me that hand to Cloud 9 too. Hope you enjoy your weekend! xoxo
Heading over to read the review!
Another one in spam, Liz. That is so weird! Thanks, my friend! xo
Oh, no. I think I probably shouldn’t have tried to post the comment more than once when WordPress didn’t post the initial comment. Thank you for checking your spam folder.
I should’ve checked it sooner, but I honestly don’t think about it. Now I know that I should. 🙂
Another lovely review Lauren and well deserved!
I believe your poetry is changing life in a way, at least showing people how to look at life, nature from a different perspective. And this is precious. ❤
Wow, Marie, thank you for your wonderful words! What a compliment that I will hold dearly. Your friendship and support mean the world to me. Hugs to you and enjoy your weekend. xo
I apologize if this comment posted twice (running into WordPress issues), but bask in the great reviews. Enjoy them! We writers spend a lot of time in our thoughts. I love that, but I think most of us don’t spend enough time celebrating our wins and enjoying the “fruits of our labor!” Enjoy the reviews, it’s your hard work!!!!🎉🎉🎉Heck, the day I publish my novel, forget about a review, I’ll be posting every day about it for five years!!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤣
Hi Brian, your comment didn’t show up twice, so no worries. It sounds like a lot of people are having WP issues. Anyway, thanks for your kind words, encouragement, and motivation! Greatly appreciated, and you did it again…you cracked me up! I’ll watch for your novel and will be there to support you! 🥰😍🤗🎊🙏🏻✍️
Hearty congratulations on the fantastic review, Lauren. Feeling so happy for you. Keep it going 👍👍👍
Thanks for your kind words, Kamal! Have a wonderful day! xoxo
Always welcome dear Lauren. Take care and stay well 💘💘💘
You too, Kamal! 💝💝💝
❤️🥰😊🙏
An absolute feel-good post! Wonderful to witness the support between you two. 💞 Bravo on your writing achievements!
Thanks for your encouraging words, Michele! Kym’s review is so elegant and the view from Cloud 9 is so lovely. 🙂 🩷🌷
More than happy to share support. 🙏🏻💗

What a gorgeous review, Lauren. I love it when someone takes the time to really think about how a book made them feel. Congrats, my friend. ❤
Thanks for dropping by, Diana, and for your lovely words. I love Kym’s review, and a few more came in this year which have offered a wonderful start to the new year. It’s humbling and exciting. 💕🥰
Indeed a Marvelous review of a book I also love as much. Congratulations, Lauren. 😁 👏🏽
You’re so kind, Selma, and I appreciate your kindness very much! Hugs 🤗
That’s great, Lauren!
Thanks, Binky, and your comment landed in spam, which is why I’m late in replying. Very weird. 🙂
Lauren, of course you should share these wonderful reviews of your book. Kym’s is a gem, capturing your work beautifully and what an incredible & captivating opening sentence of a review! It is also lovely that she shared ‘Fulfillment’. Congratulations, my friend! xx❤️
Thanks so much for dropping by, Annika, and for your lovely words. I totally agree with you about Kym’s review. Several reviews came in this year that have me overwhelmed with joy, not to sound cliche. But you know the feeling. So, I appreciate your wishes and words! ❤️🌷🙏
Congratulations
Thanks so much!
I want to read your book again Lauren, I will do that soon, not sure if I wrote a review after I read it the first time, but if I didn’t I’ll rectify that this time after I finish it and I will review it on my blog!
Aww, that’s so kind of you, Carol Anne, but you did write a review and share it, so no worries, unless you absolutely want to do it again. 🙂 I’m sure you have more books on your list, but I appreciate your love for my book so much. Hugs, my friend.
