No limits exist
Stretch your imagination
Visualize your dreams
Set aside playtime
Do something for you alone
Your company counts

Welcome to my corner of this wonderful community where I share my poetry, short stories, and occasional photos. My husband and I have been married for thirty-seven years, and we have two adult children. I have published four collections of poetry, a memoir, and a children’s picture book. I am working on another poetry collection and an early chapter children’s book. When you visit, I hope you find something to take with you, but that you also find something enticing enough to keep bringing you back. I truly appreciate your visit. Cheers, Lauren ❤️
I was moved by Jason’s lovely prayer and I hope you enjoy, too. If you haven’t visited his blog, please do; he writes beautifully~
Blessings for a wonderful Thursday!
Copper, Our New Family Addition
Please Welcome, Copper, the chocolate lab!
He’s 18 months old, very lovable, cuddly,
calm and gentle. He needs to put on a few more pounds,
but other than that, he’s healthy and just a big, goofy boy!
We’re adopting Copper on a trial basis,
with hopes of keeping him, if all works out.
We hope it does because we’ve all just about
fallen in love with him.
Lucky Girl will remain
in our hearts, but the timing is right
to start new again
with another canine friend.
We’ll be in an adjustment period and I’m already behind
in reading blogs, because of “doggie” searching.
So, my time may be limited, but I will still do my best to visit you!
I hope you understand and I wish you all a wonderful,
peaceful Wednesday! xo

Over the hill and still a kid!
Candles yesterday
Burned brightly for fifty-one
Another life year!
Secret surprises
Gifts of love, hugs and laughter
Celebrating life

My family blindfolded me, yesterday, on our way to my birthday lunch.
Our destination was seafood on the bay, exquisite!
And…the best cheesecake and apple pie, ever! 🙂
I wish you all a blessed and peaceful Monday~xx
Love Again
As sure as leaves will fall
at season’s change
and rain will drop
as clouds rearrange
I have fallen through new doors opened
the key I thought was lost forever
you have found so cleverly
the lock had suffered
yet, not broken for eternity~

Forever Love
Faint is how you make me feel and not
Only when our lips connect, but when I
Remember our first embrace and how my
Emotions twirled inside of me, dizzy and
Voiceless, I was and those moments still exist
Even though decades have come and gone
Reflections of those first days are rainbows
Learning the true meaning of bliss, an
Out of the ordinary feeling, knowing you are my
Valentine, lover and friend for the rest of our life together and for
Eternity~

A Mighty Monday Message
Make this day a positive existence to your being
Over and above any other day of the week
No matter how you may feel after the weekend’s festivities
Draft a mental outline of opportunity, possibility and perseverance
And don’t let go of those inspirations, as the rewards
You receive will be even more than what you deserve~
