More than Coffee-More Hugs!!!

On June 22, 2022 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Book Promotions, Book Reviews32 Comments

I am thrilled to receive two more wonderful reviews for my latest book: More than Coffee: Memories in Verse and Prose. As many of us have heard, reviews for books render the same effect as Big, Bear hugs! So, I’m loving these new hugs!

The first review is from my lovely friend, Jane Sturgeon at https://janesturgeon.com/blog. Jane always exudes positive energy, love, kindness, and calm. She is insightful, supportive, and has the most compassionate heart, and she is a lovely and wonderful writer about all aspects of life. I encourage you to visit her blog. You will leave feeling more at peace and full of that positive energy that will put a spring in your step!

The second review is from my dear friend, Scott Mitchell. We began our blogging adventures around the same time about ten years ago. Scott’s writing has always revealed his romantic heart and a sea of emotions, not to mention, his breathtaking way with words. He hasn’t blogged in a few years, but his poems can still be found at https://evokingthedeep.wordpress.com. I hope you’ll visit Scott’s blog, immersing yourself in his stunning words.

More Than Coffee: So Much More Than a Memoir of Verse and Prose by Jane Sturgeon

I loved every word in this book. Scott’s style and loving expression took me into the heart of life and to what truly matters. Her thoughts of Wil, her father-in-law, are compassionate and delightful in equal measure. Scott’s love for her family and the life she and Matt have built for their children shine through. Belonging and Riding With The Wind are two of my favourite poems.

More Than Coffee is a delight from start to finish and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a dip into the magic of life.

Deep and Inspirational by Scott Mitchell

My favorite poet does it again in this publication. Lauren Scott is a deep end creative soul that finds the very words to pull in the reader. I’ve enjoyed her work for about 10 years.

If you’d like to buy a copy, simply click “Buy on Amazon” above. And If you’ve read More than Coffee, Thank you! I hope you enjoyed walking down memory lane with me, and please consider writing a review-the hug would be greatly appreciated.

A BIG thanks to Jane and Scott, to those who have written amazing reviews, and to all of you for stopping by.

Happy Reading,
Lauren ❤️

Celebrating 4 years with WordPress! :)

On September 22, 2014September 23, 2015 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Anniversaries, Discussion52 Comments

Happy Anniversary!

You registered on WordPress.com 4 years ago!
Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging!

When they say “time flies” there’s no doubt!
I honestly can’t believe it’s been 4 years!
I created this blog in 2010, but actually became active in 2011,
so in my mind, it’s been 3 years. 🙂
All I really want to say is a BIG “Thanks” to all of YOU!

You who have been with me from the beginning,
joined me in the middle or
who have recently just found me;
You who have been mentors;
You who have encouraged me to continue writing
and lastly, You who have become friends!

It’s amazing meeting people across the country
and around the world!

So “THANK YOU” for stopping by in the midst of your busy life.
I appreciate all of YOU and to celebrate,
I give you a hug!

Oh, alright, here’s a few more.
One can never have enough. 🙂

Wishing you a wonderful day, evening and week
and I hope you continue to enjoy
this little piece of my world.
Love, Lauren

If I need a place
to rest my mind
will you lend a shoulder
for just a little time?

If I need to shed
concerns and talk
can I call you up
regardless of the clock?

If I need a hug
to feel some warmth
will you offer protection
from the storm?

Thank you, my friend,
for your loving support
for your uplifting smiles
and your unselfish heart

Hugs a Plenty

Someone needs a hug

if you look real close

wearing a smile upside down

in need of a big love dose

Revealing a long wide frown

it just might be you

to brighten their day

and bring their spirits around

They might be too shy

to ask you face to face

so it’s up to you

to offer with grace

Share some warmth

the cost is nil

but the gift is big

in a simple embrace

I’m not sure if the kitty was happy,
but I know my son was thrilled
(15 years ago)
and he was definitely sharing
a warm embrace~ 🙂

Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday!
