Hello Update :)

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Life44 Comments

Hi Everyone,

This is a simple “hello” to wish you
a wonderful weekend and to let you know
that I’ve been sick the last few days,
so once again, I’ve lost momentum with blogging…arrrgh!
Additionally, this weekend, we have family from out of town visiting,
so I won’t return to blogging until next week.

Be happy and healthy and I’ll see you soon!

Lauren (((Hugs)))

Silent Knight – Haiku

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Haiku, Life37 Comments

Human hazardous

actions cause unthinkable

harm; strong will to live

Allow me to introduce to you Silent Knight…
a Sea Lion of strength and courage,
who endured 5 bullets to his head,
leaving him blind in both eyes.
Instead of giving up the fight,
he now happily thrives on life in the local zoo,
with the help of kind-hearted humans nursing him back to health.
This is only one heartwarming story of mammals struggling to live
after human’s thoughtless and heartless acts of violence.
All of the stories touched and tugged at our hearts~ ♥

It’s Your Move

Have you heard your inner voice
urging you on?
You can do it,
There you go,
One step at a time,
You’ll be great,
You’ll do fine,
It’s never too late?

Remember,
Fear Is Paralyzing!
If you imagine failure
around the corner,
You’ve let yourself down,
No one else.

So take that first baby step.
Start penning a new chapter.
Step out of the box for your
Well Being and Self Esteem!

It’s not about destination –
SUCCEEDING MEANS YOU HAVE BEGUN!

If You Believe

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Fun, Inspirational78 Comments

Don’t you wish that you could fly
above the clouds in the clear blue sky,
soaring with the angels near,
erasing all your worries and fear?

Wouldn’t it be amazing to swim
in the turquoise ocean just on a whim,
gliding with a friendly dolphin,
serenaded by an elegant violin?

Imagine skipping through a lush meadow
with the company of a vibrant butterfly show
or tip toeing amongst the glowing stars
to the music of strumming guitars

Close your eyes, twinkle your nose
Cross your arms, curl your toes
Blink three times, twirl around
Concentrate; okay, here goes…
